Last Thursday, the iPhone Elevation Dock, a simple yet elegant iPhone dock machined from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, became the first project on Kickstarter to break the fabled $1,000,000 mark. Then the next day, as if to belabor the point, Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert went ahead and raised $1,000,000 bucks in less than 24 hours for their new video game project. If i4software — the makers of the popular Flashlight utility app for iOS and Android — have their way, the developers will raise $450,000 in a week, using a little-known marketplace called Appbackr. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/applecomputer/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20120214/wr_nm/us_apple_ipad nm/20120214/us_apple_ipad Reuters technology Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:32:01 GMT Reuters - A Chinese tech firm that claims it still owns the iPad trademark will seek a ban on exports of Apple Inc's computer tablets from China, which could deal a blow to the U.S. technology giant's sales worldwide. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/applecomputer/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20120214/tc_ac/10963704_how_to_get_a_free_blackberry_playbook ac/20120214/10963704_how_to_get_a_free_blackberry_playbook ContributorNetwork technology Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:54:40 GMT ContributorNetwork - COMMENTARY | RIM, the company that makes the BlackBerry smartphones and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, has a problem. That problem would be $485 million worth of unsold BlackBerry PlayBooks. People aren't buying them, opting for the iPad and inexpensive e-reader tablets instead. And while long-promised features, like a native email client (which doesn't need you to hook it up to a BlackBerry smartphone) and the ability to run Android apps are coming in an OS upgrade this month, it remains to be seen whether or not that'll have any effect on sales. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/applecomputer/*http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/external/appolicious_rss/rss_appolicious_tc/http___www_appolicious_com_articles11055_updated_waze_now_offers_hands_free_reporting_navigation/44528590/SIG=138n0bso4/*http://www.appolicious.com/tech/articles/11055-updated-waze-now-offers-hands-free-reporting-navigation appolicious_rss/20120214/http___www_appolicious_com_articles11055_updated_waze_now_offers_hands_free_reporting_navigation Appolicious technology Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:30:00 GMT Appolicious - When Waze GPS & traffic  — Social, fun! came out in 2011, Appolicious reviewer Nick Nebelsky took issue with the app’s hands-on requirements writing, “it's still a lot of work, and is asking a lot of the driver.” At the time, I agreed whole-heartedly that Waze, while containing some useful information, was a massive safety issue unless you had a passenger to run the app for you.
