There has been high drama on the second day of the Pirate Bay trial. Due to serious shortcomings in the prosecution evidence, around 50% of the charges in the case are going to have to be withdrawn. The defense describes it as a ’sensation’, seeing half of the charges being dropped on the second day.
An anonymous reader writes “Gaming commissions in Nevada are informing casinos that a new card counting program has made its way to the Apple iPhone, called Hi Lo. This program can be used in the Stealth Mode. When the program is used in the Stealth Mode the screen of the phone will remain shut off, and as long as the user knows where the keys are located the program can be run effortlessly without detection.

Rob Lazzurs writes “The second ‘Google phone’ has been announced. While this does from the first look seem like a nice device, I know I would miss the keyboard. However, I would expect given the issues with the first device, the question on most G1 users lips will be ‘Is the battery life any better?'” Update: 02/17 14:06 GMT by T : Reader Andrew Lim adds a link to CNet UK’s hands-on pictures of HTC Magic including pictures of it next to a G1. Also on the upcoming cell phone front, reader Jack Spine writes “Dell is to launch a smartphone, according to AT&T chief Ralph de la Vega. Speaking at a Mobile World Congress panel discussion with Steve Ballmer, de la Vega said ‘Dell announced they’re entering the smartphone market,’ — a bit of a slip, because Dell hasn’t, yet.” Update: 02/17 16:07 GMT by T : Now, according to Engadget, de la Vega says he was misquoted.
