“Memory is the new disk,” Jim Gray would say. The database pioneer died in 2007 after he was lost at sea, but like so much of the man, these words about memory and disk live on, describing a new movement across the database business and beyond.

Goodbye Dolphin Tale, Hello Gitmo: Pentagon Premieres Terror Trial Movies
Guantanamo Bay war-crimes trials are a black box to the general public. So the Pentagon is trying something new: broadcasting them from Gitmo to the movie theater at Fort Meade, Md. Too bad the film quickly came unspooled.
Hello Kitty World, The Secret Nintendo Game
The forgotten classic Hello Kitty World isn’t a crappy licensed game, it’s a Nintendo-developed action game based on Balloon Fight.

RIM launches new BlackBerry Curve (video)
Want to get your BBM on in style without spending a fortune on RIM’s latest trio? Say hello to the new 11mm (0.43 inch) thin BlackBerry Curve, now official in 3 variants — the dual-mode GSM / CDMA 9370, the GSM / UMTS 9360 and the CDMA-only 9350. These long rumored handsets feature an 800MHz CPU, 512MB RAM, a tiny 2.44-inch HVGA+ (480×360 pixel) display, a five megapixel EDoF camera (with LED flash and VGA video recording), Bluetooth, WiFi b/g/n with UMA, GPS / aGPS and NFC. While there’s no sign of that new-fangled touch screen technology, you’ll find BlackBerry 7 under the hood, along with a 1000mAh battery to keep it ticking all day long, 512MB of built-in storage (1GB on the 9370) and microSD card support (up to 32GB). RIM is still mum on pricing, but the new BlackBerry Curve is “expected to be available from carriers in Canada this month and from other carriers around the world beginning in September” — including Vodafone, based on the video (and PR) after the break. We’ll have a hands-on later today so stay tuned for more.

Big box earbuds put to a blind ‘taste’ test in the Engadget Labs
Hello, and welcome to yet another installment of Engadget Laboratories. This time around we’re taking a pseudo scientific look at sub-0 earbuds. We’ve all been caught out, headphoneless, and desperate to put some tunes in our ears. So, the question is, what exactly do you get for your money when you stumble into a Best Buy and pick up whatever happens to be hanging on the shelves? Clearly you’re trading convenience for selection when you shuffle into a big box shop for your audio needs, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should just grab the cheapest thing hanging by the register, or the most expensive for that matter. We randomly selected four sets of phones, at four different price points, and put it to a group of average Joes and Janes to see if they could actually tell the difference between a 0 pair of buds and a pair (while blindfolded and trapped inside a booth).
