Microsoft patent application points to fast-booting streaming OS
While Microsoft is busy readying the much talked about Windows 8 for release, a new patent application has popped up that could reveal even bigger — or at least faster — things to come. According to the filing for “Fast Machine Booting Through Streaming Storage,” which was submitted in February of last year and released last week, Redmond is looking at creating a system that could stream an entire OS to just about anything with a screen. The proposed setup would enlist a series of storage devices, both remote and local, to act as a virtual hard disk, allowing anything from a set top box to a tablet to boot almost instantaneously. We don’t know about you, but we’ve already started a list of ways to spend the extra seconds.
[Thanks, Bogen]

Google Reader Android app updated with new UI, Honeycomb support
Well, it’s taken long enough, but Google has finally updated its Reader app for Android and added support for Honeycomb. That’s right RSS addicts, you can now peruse your feeds in full two-pane glory on your Xoom, Galaxy Tab 10.1 or other comparable slate. The move to version 1.0.1 doesn’t just benefit tablet owners either — the small screen UI has received a fresh coat of paint that’s a tad more polished. As far as new features, there doesn’t seem to be anything Earth-shattering, but the ability to quickly share posts via social networks or add them to your Read It Later list on a tablet is greatly appreciated. Hit up the Android Market to download the latest edition — seriously, right now.

ASUS’ next gen Eee Pad Transformer to be first Kal-El device?
Earlier this year, NVIDIA teased us all with the promise of its forthcoming Kal-El SoC, indicating an August debut. Well, we’re currently in the thick of that hot and hazy month with no clear sign of an incoming quad-core tablet, but certainly more release gossip. According to Fudzilla, multiple sources have confirmed ASUS’ next Eee Pad Transformer will indeed be first in line to pack four cores, lending credence to Chairman Jonney Shih’s claims the tab would be “impressive.” Concrete launch details for the slate have yet to be announced, but if Shih’s pre-CES timeline pans out, you’ll only have four long months to wait for a Glow Ball hands-on.

Yesterday we gave you the lowdown on Fusion Garage’s second foray into tablet computing, the Grid 10. While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it’s as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.

Are aliens trying to show us something on the surface of Titan? [Space Porn]
It’s pretty hard not to notice the gigantic looming arrow in this picture of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. The striking, chevron-shaped formation is roughly the size of Texas. And while it may look like an enormous HUMANS, LOOK HERE sign, recently published research by NASA scientists suggests that it’s actually a gigantic storm making its way across the moon’s equatorial region.

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer resists Canadian coins, does not survive slings and arrows (video)
ASUS hasn’t really had to twist consumers’ wallet-carrying wrists to get its Eee Pad Transformer off retailers’ shelves and into homes — the tablet practically walks itself. Which makes the company’s latest attempt at viral marketing come off as more of an exercise in unnecessary bragging, than a straight, feature-touting webmercial. The video, made for the hardware maker’s college-focused Campus Life website, walks viewers through a brief description of the Gorilla Glass coating that gives the Honeycomb-based tab its damage-resistant properties, before putting the slate through a series of stress tests. While we’ve always been told sticks and stones would break our bones, apparently keys, Canadian change and screws won’t harm the Transformer. The sole chink in this popular pad’s ion exchanging armor?
