Judge: Uber can't be shut down in Toronto

Uber can't be shut own in Toronto as per a judge's 30 page ruling which cites that  the city of Toronto can't do anything to shut down Uber unless they change current bylaws. Uber is a globally disruptive transtportation service that makes getting a cab, limo, or SUV easier using and app on a smartphone and a toghtly integrated ratings standard for riders and drivers.

Superior Court Judge Sean Dunphy rejected arguments that Uber is required to have a taxi license in order to operate. The nature of Uber's service, which is carried out over smartphones and apps, separate it from traditional taxis, Judge Dunphy contends that Uber doesn't fit the definition of a taxi company and therefore current Judge: taxi regulations don't apply to it.

BlackBerry Classic is now available in Cobalt Blue

Stark black too businesslike for you?  White, too pristine? Consider the Cobalt Blue version of their BlackBerry Classic smartphone. Available online for $499.99, it is otherwise identical to the Black version we reviewed here last year.

Is this BlackBerry's attempt at an Android smartphone?

BlackBerry is in the news for reportedly getting ready to release a device that's not powered by its own super secure and messaging focused BlackBerry but with rival Google's Android OS. Yes, BlackBerry can already run some sideloaded Android apps on its devices which helps fill the huge app gap the platform has been suffering from but if reports are to be trusted, John Chen and Co. are becoming just another OEM player for Google's OS, at least for this one model.

The new device, codenamed 'Venice,' is said to feature a 5.4-inch screen, 18MP rear camera and 1.8GHz Hexa-core CPU. It is reportedly coming first to AT&T customers in the US. BlackBerry has been collaborating with Samsung on various technologies and there's currently now QWERTY-enabled Androi handset. Since BBM is now cross platform, maybe BlackBerry sees an opening in the Android market. Stay tuned.
