- Google+ expands custom URLs to ‘thousands more’ pages and profiles
If you’re lacking the mental perspicacity to memorize that bizarre string that constitutes your Google+ profile (or business page) we’ve got some good news — Google’s continuing its roll-out of custom URLs to its most popular social network pages. You’ll have to make sure that you stake a claim to your pre-approved URL when the box appears on your page — fortunately it’s pretty hard to miss, sticking out along the top of your well-known profile / page. Lesser known brands and ‘personalities’ will have to wait a little longer, but Product Manager Saurabh Sharma says that the custom URLs will continue to trickle down the system “in the future.”

Saurabh Sharma (Google+) | Email this | Comments - HTC Proto breaks cover, may give the world a ride on the Dragon
Rumors have been circulating that HTC was planning a mid-cycle replacement for the One V, the Proto, that would keep the line relevant in the face of some noticeably tougher competition. It may be more of a reality than a notch on the roadmap. As long as The Verge‘s press renders are authentic, the Proto should be an almost straightforward, international edition of the previously China-only Dragon line. The design would carry the less Legendary appearance as well as nip and tuck those areas where the One V is weakest, adding a much-needed second core to the 1GHz processor and a slightly larger 4-inch screen. HTC wouldn’t be reinventing the wheel — it would reportedly keep the same 5-megapixel camera, 4GB of storage and 7.2Mbps 3G as the smartphone’s early 2012 prequel. If, where and when the Proto shows up is still left to the imagination, though. Next week’s IFA show is a tempting target for a late 2012 release, but there’s no hard and fast rule that any introduction has to coincide with a major event.

The Verge | Email this | Comments - RIM tries to patent system-generated blog entries, we quietly update our resumés
Research in Motion has applied to patent a system for automatically drafting a blog entry on your smartphone. In the examples, it would build out the bare-bones of an entry as soon as it hits a “trigger event,” such as taking a picture at a pre-determined set of GPS co-ordinates. Presumably, all you’d have to do is fill in the witty caption below and hit send, saving you valuable minutes on your road-trip. Of course, it may not even be granted, so don’t expect a CES trailer staffed solely with Bolds just yet…
