Largely at the behest of the European Union, search engines like Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo have cut their data retention periods over the last few years. Now, all those sensitive search queries you make will be anonymized in a matter of months—Yahoo will do so after 90 days, Microsoft will remove all IP addresses after six months, and Google anonymizes IP addresses after nine months. Europe has decided that six months should be the limit.

But the US continues its push to make ISPs and other Internet companies keep data longer than they do now, hoping to have access to two full years of records at any given time.

Gizmodo is reporting that Apple has begun refunding up to an extra 15% of the purchase price of the 27-inch iMac to those customers who bought defective units.

The news broke yesterday with a UK-based Apple Authorized Service Provider/Reseller claiming that Apple is out of 27″ screens in Europe, and they’re dealing with a waiting list of customers already. So they’re now offering up (to only certain customers so far, not an official policy) not only a full refund, but an extra 15% on top of the price, roughly $300 on the cost of a $2000 iMac.

Gizmodo also points out that the refund doesn’t include sales tax or shipping costs, so some of the 15% covers that as well. You won’t be able to make money on this, but Apple is apparently offering up a small bonus to customers inconvenienced by the issues.

Earlier this week Apple released another firmware update to address the flickering screen issues with the 27-inch iMacs but it seems that has not alleviated all the issues.

It was only a week ago when Nokia shook us with its free turn-by-turn navigation update, but the poor old N97 got left out in the cold. Not any more though, folks! In fact, the new Ovi Maps for N97 — along with “improved touch screen scrolling” and “improved memory and battery performance” — was delivered one day earlier than promised. Thanks, Nokia, but don’t forget your N900 fans, too.

[Thanks, @old_no_7uk]

A 46-inch LCD with some high-end, built-in speakers from Bang & Olufsen? Yeah, this one won’t come cheap, but it will definitely make more of a statement in your living room than the average big-screen LCD. Of course, if this one does look a tad familiar, it’s because this new BeoVisoin 10-46 is basically just a larger version of Bang & Olufsen’s existing 40-inch BeoVision 10, which boasts the same brushed aluminum frame, 200Hz refresh rate, and LED backlight as it’s new, larger counterpart. No official word on a price, but the 40-incher came in at just under $10,000, so you can draw your own conclusions. Look for this one to hit “selected markets” (in Europe, most likely) sometime in April — and if it’s still a bit too small for you, you can always consider B&O’s 103-inch BeoVision 4.

[Thanks, John]

First LG flat-out says on public record that Windows Mobile 7 is bound for 2010, and now we’ve gotten apparent word that the company has narrowed said release window to September of this year — at least as far as its own devices are concerned. That comes via high-profile French tech blogger Eric of Presse Citron, who while attending a LG Design Lab tweeted (both in French and immediately after in English) that LG Mobile will release a Windows Mobile 7 device in September and an Android 2.1 device in April, first in the US and then Europe just after. The tweets are now gone, but WMPoweruser managed to catch both via Google cache, while we have corroborated just the French one by similar means. So, misheard claims from the company or accidental slip-up of NDA’d secrets? MWC is starting to look more and more interesting.

DoubleTwist , a universal media management desktop application for Macs and PCs, not only has a clever marketing team behind it but also seems to be something a lot of people have been waiting for. The free software, which works like a multi-platform version of iTunes with a social networking component, has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times since it launched in February (exact number aren’t disclosed for the time being). Users can share music files, photos or…

The history of science is filled with lucky breaks, cases where researchers have stumbled across something unexpected that ended up leading to a major breakthrough—it was a scientist, after all, who said “chance favors the prepared mind.” But a perspective published today in Science brings the year of astronomy to a nice end by discussing just how often luck has played a role in the progress of that field.

One of the stories, of course, is Galileo—it’s the anniversary of his first use of a telescope. But it’s easy to forget that the first instrument wasn’t actually intended to be a telescope at all; instead, it was a spyglass that was expected to find use as an instrument of war. Nor was Galileo especially intent on completely upsetting Europe’s view of its place in the Universe when he pointed the spyglass at the skies. That just happened to be a side effect of seeing comets and the moons of other worlds for the first time.
