The opening of Amazon App Store offers an exclusive copy of Angry Birds Rio game (FREE). That being said, many Angry Birds fans were disappointed because it is only accessible in the US market only. Even though there is a simple workaround in order to get access to Amazon App Store even if you are not residing in the US, you don’t really need to go that far in order to get Angry Birds Rio.
Through Rovio official announcement on Facebook, Angry Birds Rio will be hitting Android Market this week after some small bugs are fixed. The free copy of Angry Birds Rio on Android will be ads supported. So guys, get ready to grab this top rated game for free directly from the Android Market.

A couple of years ago, if you asked me where I would go to get the latest tech news (tech news for web geeks, that is), I would have said Digg and Delicious. But as we all know those sites are going downhill, so where do I go now?
Lately I have been using two websites in particular.
The first one is Techmeme. I am not sure why I didn’t like and use Techmeme back in the day, but after I started checking it regularly I became addicted. Pretty much every day I’ll open its homepage once at least, and I always find something interesting to read.
The second one is Hacker News. If you are not familiar with the term, in this context hacker simply means tech geek. Sure, the stories you’ll find on this site are slightly geared towards coders and tech people, but there also many stories about entrepreneurship, web trends, gadgets and the like.
Occasionally I also check the technology section of mainstream publications like the New York Times and specialized magazines like PC World, but quite often the stuff I find there I have already seen around the web.
What about you guys, what sites do you use to get your fix of tech news?

(PhysOrg.com) — The world of technology is a lot like Janus. For those of you who slept through the mythology portion of your high school world lit, Janus has two faces, looking in opposite directions, a lot like the recent innovations we have seen. With most tech innovations, things are either getting really big or getting really small. Today, we are going to look at a new bit of technology that falls to the small side of the equation. Foremay, a maker of portable memory tools, has begun to show off its latest micro memory product.

NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft on Tuesday and Wednesday captured and delivered to Earth the first photographs of Mercury ever taken from within the planet’s orbit. Taken at 5:20 am EDT Tuesday, the historic first photo was soon joined by 364 more of the solar system’s innermost planet, and several of them were released on Wednesday. Photos were taken by MESSENGER’s Mercury Dual Imaging System as the spacecraft sailed high above the planet’s south pole, providing a glimpse of portions of Mercury’s surface that had not previously been seen by humans. “The entire MESSENGER team is thrilled,” said Principal Investigator Sean Solomon.
