IE 9: First look at the new JS Engine
The IE team is busy working on the next version of the world's most popular browser. IE 8 is the most widely used browser on Windows. IE 9 is currently in the oven and the IE team is ready to talk about what they're working on. Here, JavaScript engine team members John Montgomery, Steve Lucco and Shanku Niyogi give us an early look at the new JS engine that will ship with IE 9. As of the interview, it is on par with the latest performance numbers of the latest Firefox beta and making progress in catching up to Chrome's latest V8. Again, this is a really early look at where the JS engine is and where it's going (and what they've done, architecturally, to speed up IE's JS engine).

Howdy birders!
We’ve been hard at work on something super seeekrit and we’d like to give you a preview. No, it’s not a series of leaked Whitehouse cables or Military secrets, it’s way more awesome: Songbird is coming to Android!
We’ll be continuing to work on it for the next few weeks before a full release, but here’s a build for you guys and dolls to try out. First, though, I need to go over a few pieces of information that will make your use of it more pleasant.
You’ll need an Android phone that’s running Android 2.1-update1 or newer for the OS
To install, you will need to enable installing applications from unknown sources (Typically under Settings -> Applications -> Check ‘Unknown Sources’ Option)
When we release a final version through the Android Market you will need to manually uninstall this build which will wipe data related to it
This build will expire 4 weeks from today so do get your testing in while it’s hot!
Download the APK
Let us know what you think! Also, have a quick look at the list of known issues we’ll be fixing before we make the full release, so you know if we’re already covering something you’ve found.
When launching app via Widget, if drawer was open previously, it gets closed
If you have an HTC Incredible, the wrong song may play when you have music on both the phone storage and the SD card
On the HTC Incredible, stuff may be sorted oddly in the Artist, Albums and Songs views when you have music on both the phone storage and SD card
Have a great weekend!

I've tried it yesterday evening, first time starting, I don't know what I did, but i closed it or something, and now everytime I enter the app I get force close.
Catch Phrase Party
This is that fast talking, fast passing game you all have probably played before. If you haven't, it is a party game where one person has a phrase in front of them, and they have to get their team members to guess the phrase, without spelling it out, using a word from the phrase, etc. If the buzzer sounds when your team has the phone, then the opposing team is awarded a point.
Very fun game when you have a few friends all sitting around with nothing better to do.
My brother and I have been working on this for a little while now, and finally released it today. We already have a few things in mind for the next release, which may be as early as tonight or tomorrow.
The only glaring issue I have found is that the XBL tile seems blurry. We don't know what would cause this - if any of you know - that would be great, but hopefully we can get that cleared up tonight.
Feedback is much appreciated! You can do that here, or in app.

will it work on NODO?

Yes. The app is available for Nodo, but it will be stuck at version 1.2 until you update to Mango. This is standard for all apps. Mango users are currently getting updates for existing apps that Nodo users won't see until after they update to Mango. This just means by the time Mango is in the hands of the average user, more apps will be Mango ready.
Version 1.2 still has thousands of phrases, and is a solid app. People have been happy with it so far, 1.3 is just all the more awesome.
thanks for reply.
Anytime!
I hope you get a chance to try it out.
thank U......
EDIT: Now in open(and free!) beta! PM me for details
I'm close to finishing my new game, "Sic Semper". It's a space exploration and combat game with a randomized galaxy of 200 stars, each with a random number of planets(between 1 and 5), each with randomly generated terrain.
For the backstory: Humanity was almost entirely conquered by an alien race called the Ypetigan shortly after achieving interstellar travel. All that was left was a single secret facility working on a ship that would be capable of defending itself against the Ypetigan. The player takes command of that ship to rebuild human civilization by colonizing planets, expanding across the galaxy, and eliminating the Ypetigan.
Sic Semper features 7 different ship types, 6 weapon types, 4 types of turrets and 12 component upgrades. Initially, Sic Semper will be released for Android, but I also plan to release on basically any platform I can(I've made proof-of-concept ports of older builds to ubuntu using Qt and Chrome native client).
Here's a video of some of the basic gameplay in action(sorry for framerate issues, it's the fault of the screen recorder I used. I typically get ~60fps in practice):
And here's some screenshots:

Also, here's the full album, if you want to see screenshots of progress dating back to March, 2012(I've been working on the game for more than 2 years): https://plus.google.com/photos/116688016659241634367/albums/5667908906736055633?fd=1
Finally, for a little technical info: The game uses my own custom gameplay and graphics engine using OpenGL ES 2.0. I wrote all the code myself(hence the > 2 years of development), got the ship models from turbosquid and the sound effects are modified versions from Freesound.org. I'm planning on releasing to the Play Store initially(probably 1-2 months down the road) and then Ouya(I already have controller support and have tested it successfully on Ouya). Then I'll probably port it to PC and possibly Chrome Native Client.
I'm now ready to open up a beta. PM me your google account(invitations have to go through google+) and I'll send an invite to the beta test(This will happen in stages, first come first serve).
Cool
That's perfect. hard and done a great job
