Like a Star Trek convention minus Leonard Nimoy, Macworld Conference and Expo 2010 kicks off Tuesday at San Francisco’s Moscone Center with no official presence from Apple.

Chrome/Firefox/Safari: Want proof that HTML5 is the way of the future? Try Sketchpad, a surprisingly robust online painting app that doesn't require Flash, Shockwave, or any other plug-in—just a modern browser and a mouse.
Run by a team that dubs themselves Colorjack, this "Sketchpad" demo shows off the capabilities of modern JavaScript and HTML5 support. You can paint any color in any shade or opacity, take on patterns and "Spirographs," and use all the tools you're likely familiar with from Microsoft's older versions of that old Paint standby.

There weren't as many Nooks under Christmas trees as Barnes & Noble may have seen due to strong pre-orders for the device catching the bookseller seriously unprepared, but the company is hoping Valentine's Day will be different.
In a blog post Barnes & Noble has announced that the ebook reader is back in stock online and should be in most shops in time for the shopping fest that we're encouraged to believe Valentine's Day should inspire.
Remember the Great Sling Spat?
A year ago, Sling Media, a subsidiary of EchoStar, introduced a nifty application for the Apple iPhone that allowed users with a Slingbox at home to watch and control their home television signal from their handsets.
The only problem: AT&T said that such a bandwidth-intensive video service would overwhelm its network, so it limited the application to work only over an iPhone’s Wi-Fi connection. TV lovers and techies worldwide cried out in anguish.

[UPDATE: The Apple Store is back up with a new version of Aperture but no new MacBooks. Apple's press release introducing Aperture 3, the latest version of its high end photo editing and management software, crossed the wires at 8:30 a.m. ET. ]
The yellow "We'll be back soon" sign — the universal signal of an impending product release — appeared Tuesday morning on Apple's (AAPL) online stores around the world.
IBM on Monday rolled out its latest Power7 systems, which are designed to power everything from smart grids to analytics, but the real story may be Big Blue’s attempt to punch Oracle and its Sun Microsystems-powered hardware systems in the mouth via Facebook and YouTube.

Apple's iPad is set to go on sale in a month and a half.
In the meantime, there are more questions about the gadget than answers.
While we know the gadget's rudimentary features and its initial pricing, there are plenty of things we don't know.
Apple has reportedly demanded that Lexycle remove the USB feature in its Stanza iPhone app. The USB feature allows users to share books via USB.
Reports are coming in that the manufacturer for the next generation iPhone has been chosen. AppleInsider reports that Pegatron Technology will join Foxconn in making the devices.
Amazon’s recent announcement of dramatically higher royalty rates for authors and book publishers, a move designed to level the playing field with Apple’s iPad tablet, seems to be having some effect: another author has signed an exclusive book deal for the Amazon Kindle. In this case, Gavin de Becker — author of several books about security — has agreed to release expanded and updated editions of two of his books, “The Gift of Fear” and “Just 2 Seconds.”
Ok this is crazy. PC World’s JR Raphael reports that Apple has apparently forbidden a developer from using the word “Android” in his app’s description.
ZDNet native son Garett Rogers notes that the developer of Flash of Genius (App Store, $0.99), an SAT prep app that was named as one of the finalists in the Android Developer Challenge, was denied the ability to mention the award in the app’s description on the App Store because it contained the word “Android.”

Last month, Google received high praise from human rights supporters after threatening to exit the Chinese search market, claiming it was no longer comfortable with censoring search results per government demands. But here it is a month later and Google has made no move to withdrawal its Chinese search operations, with censored results still appearing on Google's Chinese portal, Google.cn. In addition, the company may now be investing in a Chinese digital media company, as well. According to reports, the Internet giant is said to be a member of a Disney-led consortium looking to invest in a Chinese media and advertising company called Bus Online.

In honor of the grueling work days in the immediate future and Tom Selleck’s glorious ’stache, we thought it prudent to offer up a list of single-serving Tumblr blogs that are sure to provide you with a much-needed helping of entertainment.
This list is far from comprehensive, seeing as how there’s scores of Tumblrs on the web — with more popping up every day — but it does contain both staff and popular favorites. We know we’ll probably miss a few that you have bookmarked, so please feel free to post them in the comments.
The 2010 Technology Entertainment Design conference will be kicking off tomorrow in Long Beach, California, bringing the leading minds of many fields together to talk shop about innovation, change, and what the future holds.
As social media has become a game changer for industries across the board, you can bet the experts at this year’s TED conference will have their sights set on peeling back the hype and getting at the core of what social technology has in store for this year and beyond.

French nuclear energy giant Areva has jumped into the U.S. renewable energy market with the acquisition of Ausra, a Silicon Valley solar power plant startup backed by high-profile venture capitalists.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but in an interview on Monday, Areva executive Anil Srivastava said that the price the company paid for Ausra was in line with the $418 million that rival Siemens spent last year to acquire Solel, an Israel solar power plant builder.

McAfee, a security software company, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, recently surveyed 600 executives and technology managers from infrastructure operators in 14 countries and came up with a report that will shock the public. In the wake of the recent explosion at a power plant in Middletown, Connecticut, for which the cause has yet to be determined, this news is especially unsettling. The survey shows that 54% of vital institutions such as power grids, water and sewage systems and oil and gas companies admitted to being hacked, and in most cases, foreign governments are the main suspects.
