Novell beat Wall Street’s estimates with a solid third quarter, but the real story is in its continued Linux growth. Net revenue rose to $245 million from $237 million in 2007, but Novell’s third-quarter loss quadrupled to $15.1 million from $3.7 million in 2007. The company …

Here’s something to look forward to. The band Snow Patrol have announced the pending release of their first “interactive album,” A Hundred Million Suns, for iPhone and iPod touch via the iTunes Store.

So what’s “interactive” about it? According to the band, users will be able to access content like lyrics, additional images and artwork plus video from the iPhone and iPod’s touchscreen. The album’s project manager called it “…a digital booklet that’ll take you into the videos and content.”

Sounds like a fun way for musical artists to take advantage of touch technology. Anticipate A Hundred Million Suns to be released in October.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the sorry state of global search in iTunes. Basically, the iTunes Store has grown so massive that it’s difficult to find what you’re after. Type something into the search field and you’ll see results for albums, podcasts, movies, Television season, apps and more. Stop the insanity!

iphonexe is offering a solution for the App Store. They’ve got 3,000 titles sorted by category. Enter the name of your target application and you’re brought to a results page with a summary, version number, screenshots and an App Store (sponsored) link.

They’ve also got a directory of jailbroken apps which works the same way. It’s not the solution I’m looking for, but does limit search results to iPhone/iPod touch apps.

Keeping Warm with The North Face

(Credit: Matt Asay)

I’ve noted before that when it comes to my hands, I’m a wuss. Last year I found the first pair of gloves that actually kept my hands warm: The North Face Patrol glove.

While I still think about that glove the gold standard (among Mountain Hardwear and other brands I’ve evaluated), I really liked the North Face Vortex II and North Face S.T.H. gloves that I evaluated this year, as well, though for entirely different reasons.

Skiing last month in Las Lenas, Argentina, the weather was perfectly suited to The North Face S.T.H. glove for the first day: relatively warm, spring-skiing conditions. The North Face S.T.H. glove is the glove you’ll want to have when shoveling snow, but also the one for spring skiing or simply when loading up the automobile at the end of the day.

North Face Vortex II Glove

The North Face S.T.H. glove is water-resistant with a highly breathable Apex ClimateBlock stretch shell. This means it will keep you warm and dry in milder conditions, but not for much of the rest of the season.

The S.T.H. is also a super-supple, contoured glove, which means you can actually do things like dial a number on your mobile while wearing it.

The North Face Vortex II glove, on the other hand, will keep you warm on much harsher conditions, like my second day at Las Lenas where the resort received roughly nine feet of new powder (plus a fair amount of wind to keep things cool). I found that the HyVent two-layer shell kept my hands dry despite swimming through a heck of a lot of powder, and I never felt cold.

Given how wimpy my hands are in the cold, this states a lot.
