Another Clue Suggests Amazon Prime's Movie-Streaming Service Is On Its Way [Amazon]

After talk of a movie-streaming service from Amazon has been going on for years, the Financial Times has today reported that yes, they are about to launch a Netflix-defying service. Supposedly Amazon Prime members will be able to access it (just another brilliant reason to sign up to Prime membership, in my opinion), though it's not known if there'll be any fees associated with streaming movies after the initial annual $79 sum is paid.

Apple Stores to have additional antennas to improve reception for Verizon iPhone launch

Following the Verizon iPhone announcement in January it looks like Apple and Verizon surveyed Apple Retail Store to determine which ones needed additional antennas installed to improve Verizon reception. Not huge news considering big buildings like malls can play havoc with reception and extra antennas are typically used to provide better reception in many of them. [...]

IE8 biggest grower in January, while Chrome hits 10% and iOS devices reach 2%

It's the beginning of a new month, and as always, Net Applications has published its findings from the last 30 days. They're slightly more exciting than usual, too: Chrome gained 0.72% to arrive at 10.7%, while Internet Explorer 8 gained a massive 1.15% to sit pretty at 34.17%. The IE9 beta now accounts for 0.5% usage share worldwide. Firefox lost a small amount of ground and Opera gained a tiny bit.

More interestingly, iOS accounted for 2% of all browsing on the Web in January 2011. The percentage was as high as 10% in Singapore, and 5% in Australia and the U.K. -- the U.S. was above average at 3.4%. Android, despite apparently awesome sales, only accounted for 0.49% of Web browsing -- and as to why its share is so low, we can only really guess. It could be for economic reasons -- Android phones are cheaper, and data packages are expensive -- or perhaps Android phones are being sold in regions without 3G connectivity.

Mozilla's HTML5 Game On finalists now online; go play, go vote!

Mozilla Labs' jury has selected the 35 finalists of its inaugural Game On 2010 competition. The games all use a combination of Open Web technologies -- HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, SVG and WebGL -- and while they have been designed for playing in Firefox 4, they should mostly work in Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer 9, too.

While the grand prizes will be handed out by a panel of expert judges, you're encouraged to play some games and vote for Community Choice award. You have until February 1 to vote, and all of the prizes will be awarded on February 3.

If you don't want to play all 35 (and admittedly, some of them are not all that great), take a look at Favimon (Lee loves this one) and TankWorld (check the sound effects!) Grave Danger is also strangely enjoyable -- perhaps it's the voodoo skulls, or something...

Finally, if 35 games weren't enough, you can also take a look at all of the entrants. Not a bad haul for emerging, beta technologies. Here's to Game On 2011!

[I actually tried some of these on the Android browser, and while they didn't work very well... they did work.]
