Section: Computers, Mobile Computers, Hardware, Laptops  You remember MSI, MSI Wind netbooks and the other MSI laptops we’ve covered? Well, MSI has just made its presence felt again by way of announcing its latest, ultra-thin notebook - the MSI X370. By thin we mean 12.76 x 8.94 x 0.89 inches and a weight of just 1.4kg. The MSI X370 features a 13.4-inch display and is powered by an AMD dual-core E350 processor which is surely fast enough for your everyday computing needs.
The MSI X370 notebook also features 350GB/500GB/640GB hard drive option, AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics, 2 USB 2.0 ports, media card reader, multi-touch touchpad, chicklet keyboard, and SRS PC Sound, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a 1.3MP webcam. This notebook also packs a 4-cell battery which according to MSI can max out 10 hours of good use, thanks to the 18W power requirement of the AMD E350 chip as well as MSI’s ECO Engine power management system. Unfortunately, MSI forgot to drop us the pricing and release date information of the X370 notebook, so let’s all wait then. via [Hot Hardware] Full Story » | Written by Arnold Zafra for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 Section: Web, Websites It looks like everyone’s favorite social networking boy-extraordinaire has once again found himself behind another lawsuit. Larry Klayman, a well known Republican political activist, has sued Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook for $1 billion after the social networking site did not remove an anti-semitic page quickly enough. And like any other mentally stable politician, Klayman attributed Zuckerberg’s character in the recent Facebook film as a reflection of his actual personality. "While Facebook has accomplished a lot of good, it can, as in this instance, be used for nefarious and evil purposes. Defendants Zuckerberg's and Facebook's callous and greedy actions in not taking down the page, but willfully allowing it to stay up for many days, has caused huge damage, for which they must be held accountable, so as to prevent this from ever happening again. They must be not only enjoined but also hit in their purse, which is where they understand matters best. Apparently, the ethically compromised Zuckerberg has no conscience or sense of right or wrong, as depicted recently in the award winning film "Social Network."
 Above is a snapshot of the hate page as seen on Facebook before its removal on March 29th. According to Facebook, the page made "direct calls for violence" and were therefore in violation of policies. An excerpt taken from the hate page: "Judgment Day will be brought upon us only once the Muslims have killed all of the Jews.” Somehow, the page managed to gain more than 340,000 fans. I’m certain that at any given point, you’d be able to find dozens of hate pages all across Facebook. I also believe that Zuckerberg and co. handle said hate pages with little tolerance. But when you look at this situation through the eyes of a Jewish person, why not use it as a lightening rod to win a quick billion dollars?

 Section: Communications, Cellular Providers, Mobile, Computers, Mobile Computers Price drops on the original 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab are not all that uncommon these days and it looks like Bell has become the latest. Those up in Canada and looking for an Android tablet can pick up the Galaxy Tab from Bell for as low as $199.95. Of course, that price requires the standard three-year agreement. Otherwise, Bell has also lowered the no term pricing, which is down to $399.95. All things considered, and despite knowing that several new tablets are getting ready to come available in the next few months (of which we hope some will land with Bell), the Galaxy Tab is still a compelling device—especially with a $200 price point. Plus, its available now. Via [Bell] and [MobileSyrup] Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »

As a review, the Ideos S7 features Android 2.2, 7-inch touch screen, 1.2GHz Qualcomm SnapDragon processor, front and rear facing cameras, microSD support and the usual Bluetooth, WiFi, HDMI and a dock interface. But most importantly, the Huawei Ideos S7 is expected to retail for only less than $300. That puts it as one of the less expensive Android tablets to be released so far. Design-wise, the Ideos S7 looks and feels pretty good. I was able to explore it for a few minutes while in Singapore last week and was pretty impressed by how good the tablet is in terms of design and built.

 Section: Business News, Communications, Cellphones, Smartphones, Computers, Software / Applications It seems like every day we’re hearing more and more about near field communications (NFC) technology as a way to make mobile payments. Amazon, Google and Apple are all believed to be developing hardware and software for this very purpose. Samsung and Visa have officially partnered with each other to bring NFC payments to London in 2012. Their partnership will produce a new Olympic and Paralympic Games phone. The phone will use NFC and Visa’s technology in conjunction with an app installed on the device. All users will have to do is select a payment option in the app and place their phone in front of a scanner at checkout. In order to spread the word of the new Olympic phone, Samsung and Visa will use Olympic athletes (that they sponsor) to promote the device. The phone will also be sold through unannounced carriers. The device will use a special Visa SIM card to make contactless payments possible. Any information about the Olympic phone hasn’t been revealed yet. Visa is in talks with companies from around the world about accepting its NFC payments with cards and phones. The fact that Visa is using SIM cards means it’ll be working with GSM carriers. GSM devices are far more popular than CDMA devices. Both Samsung and Visa are commercial sponsors of the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
