Students Seeking Startup Workshops: Lean Startup Machine Announces Branch Scholarship

Lean Startup Machine wants to bring some young blood to its startup workshops - on its own dime. The new initiative is called the Branch Scholarship Program, supposedly because it was inspired by the founders of Branch, a startup that aims "to turn the Internet's monologues into dialogues" and has backing from The Obvious Corporation.

Ohloh Wants to Fill the Gap Left by Google Code Search

I wrote last week that GitHub is the Library of Alexandria of code. That's not quite accurate since there are still many important open source projects hosted else where, including other repositories like Sourceforge as well as open source foundations like the Apache.

Can Social Media Rescue Iowa Levee?

HAMBURG, Iowa - When floodwaters threatened this farming community last year, the federal government spent a little more than $4 million to shore up its levee, saving many local businesses.

How to Mirror Your iPad Display to Your HDTV

The iPad's king-size display is great for watching a movie by yourself, but it's not so great for group screenings. Fortunately, getting it working with the HDTV in your living room for impromptu movie nights, vacation photo slideshows, or YouTube viral video marathons isn't difficult.

Samsung Preparing To Reveal "Newest Galaxy Device" On August 15

Samsung goes on to say that the company will unveil its "newest GALAXY device," though exactly what that's going to be is left infuriatingly vague.

Vodafone walks us through a phone's Android 4.0 upgrade, explains our protracted thumb-twiddling

We're used to seemingly interminable waits for phone firmware upgrades for carrier-locked phones. What is it that takes so long? Vodafone UK isn't promising a quicker process, but it's offering a rare walkthrough of just what itself (and many other carriers) do to rubber stamp a firmware upgrade.
