Review: Incase Power Slider battery backup case - http://arstechnica.com/journal...
Praveen Vasudev, Ryan Campuspos, Jessica Lee and 29 other people liked this
"The accessory market has responded to Apple's challenge of getting an entire day's use out of the iPhone 3G with a range of external batteries. Some function as "dongles" that attach to the bottom, while others are built into protective cases that, upon first glance, look as though their designers were drawing blueprints while under the influence. Incase's Power Slider is neither of these things."

sexy! Best one yet, props to the team who came up with this :-)
- vijay
Looks stunning. This would make a nice case, let alone that it's a battery back up as well. Nice!
- Fox Tucker
$99 they say but it adds .4 inches to the width.
- Amani
Looks great! Am I just seeing things or is that a standard USB B port at the bottom as well? Useful for just charging with more available cables and other secondary charging sources. Amazing if it enables syncing via that port as well!
- Jamie Dool
@Jamie I believe the port either charges the battery or syncs. There is a button on the case that you hold for a few seconds. After that, the data is passed through.

I held it today at the Apple store in SF. It's extremely light and has a good fit and finish but it does add a noticeable thickness to the phone that I'm not sure I want in my standard front pocket carrying location.
- Jamie Dool
Just bought it and LOVE it. Don't mind the thickness. Much better than carrying around a dead brick!

I could NOT use my iPhone without this; otherwise, with all of my "pushing" and surfing and music-ing, my phone did not last past 5PM, and that is no exaggeration. Thus, when I saw this and some positive reviews, it was a no-brainer. Now, I run my phone in the same way I did before but with the brightness cranked to the top, the wireless on at all times and at 5PM I'm usually still at 100% battery. Fantastic product (although I did see some pictures of new, thinner ones out or coming out...)!
- Brandon Blattner
I wonder when the new thin ones will come out. I just got a case today but I would spring for the newer thin ones. Any idea?
- Amani
Just picked up one of these today as a result of needing to go to the genius bar for something else... can't wait for it to finish charging!!!

Tested the device on the 3GS and it works fine. Actually it will work on all three generations. Prior to OS 3.0, I used to get a message on the 2G when connected 'not made for this device' or something, but haven't seen it again since upgrading to 3.0. However it doesn't really fit the 2G design, as it is really made for the 3G/3GS forma factor, but it will work in a pinch!

Bing! Google’s Death Knell? - http://www.xconomy.com/seattle...
Just took a tour of Bing. THIS is supposed to be Microsoft's answer to search? The Google-killer? Bing looks like corporate search at its best. Meta=drive revenue by structuring search around a purchase NOT information model.

SPRING Singapore launches S$30m programme to nurture start-up firms - http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories...
More than any other government, Singapore has done a world-class job of encouraging and fostering start-ups through dedicated funding/seed money, a special class of visitor visas, and an incredibly favorable tax structure. Hopeful that NYC, through initiatives announced at State of the City, will be able to double down on making local biz environment friendliest of any large American city.

I came across Many Eyes in June 2007 and was impressed with the product as a starting point for something larger. After account creation and uploading a few datasets, I never went back. Love how NYTimes visualizes data and will give Many Eyes another look, now.

Fingers crossed that NYC becomes THE next biotech mecca. We just opened BioBAT at the Brooklyn Army Terminal and the first tenant is the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative. BioBAT which is the only facility in the world exclusively devoted to the development of an AIDS vaccine.
