3:53 PM Philippine Time, I got a pop-up notification that a Magnitude 6.0 quake struck the New Zealand region near the North Island at a depth of 13km (8mi).
Fast forward 7 minutes later I got another notification again. This time, at 04:00 PM a Magnitude 6.2 quake struck on the easter part of Fukushima region on Japan. Yeah I know this region is periodically hit by earthquakes of that intensity since the Magnitude 9.1 quake sttuck the nation last March 11. By the way, the quake struck at a depth of 10km (6mi) below the surface of the earth.
40 minutes has passed and another notification appeared again. This time, a Magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck Cuba on North America at 04:43 PM with a depth of 10km (6mi) too.
Feels creepy no?

Oh... Look what we have here. Nokia is attending the BUILD event at Anaheim, California this day and the next following days. From what I know, BUILD is an event where Microsoft and it's OEM partners will demo the new Windows 8, the latest operating system by Microsoft that will run on tablets and PCs. Now since Nokia is attending on that event, will we see the first Nokia tablet? Or maybe Nokia will announce their successor of their Booklet 3G notebook? We'll find out in the next few days.

Nokia announced today their latest offering for the Symbian Belle OS. The next major update will support the Nokia Car Mode in which you may connect your phone running the said OS. The app makes it easier for drivers and passengers to access maps, satellite navigation (provided by Nokia Drive), traffic updates, music and voice calls when they are in vehicles. One advantage here is you may use your Nokia phone as a GPS Navigator device, no need for separate GPS devices. And while driving and navigating, you can do other phone functions too, like calling, playing music, and getting the latest traffic information. The app is written in Qt, thus, it will run across multiple platforms, though only Symbian Belle and MeeGo (for the N9) is mentioned as of this time. Another thing is that this project was previously known as the Terminal Mode, which was reported to us back in March. It will be available on Q4 2011.

Eldar Murtazin said in a tweet that the Nokia N9 will be on sale starting September 15th, or maybe a bit later. This could be true for some countries, like Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia, as those countries have either listed the official price on their website or has been already confirmed by a carrier. I hope though that it will be really coming this month, if not on that day.
Nokia N9 will be on sale from September 15. Not earlier. May be later. Thats depends from Nokia itselfless than a minute ago via Twitter for Symbian

Vodafone Australia just confirmed on their blog that the Nokia N9 is coming to their network. The price is still not yet known, but expect it to be at the €299 level, or maybe even less if you will get it on a contract.
Vodafone Australia will carry the 64GB variant of the N9, only in black color. No words yet on other colors and on the cheaper 16GB variant. If you're living at Australia you can sign-up now so you will be notified if the N9 is already available.
