Joe Marini, a Windows Phone Manager that has been with Microsoft from 2003 was forced to leave the company today following a tweet about an upcoming Windows Phone.

He started with a tweet saying:  “I just got a chance to try out one of the slickest looking #Nokia phones I have ever seen. Soon, you will too! #wp7″

This tweet prompted a follower to ask him how he would rate the device. In all stupidity, Marini answered with: “Overall I would say an 8. Solid feel, good camera, responsive UI, and nice little touches on the body construction”

Another follower then asked him why only give an 8 and he answered with the tweet that I think is what pushed him over the ledge.

The tweet went: “Yea, the camera was good, but I didn’t have optimal lighting. I’d like a larger screen too.”

With his last tweet, he practically gave away the phone’s strengths and weaknesses which is something that corporate spies get paid for.

Netflix, to obviously focus their digital rentals which comprises of both home entertainment digital movie rentals and mobile digital movie rentals, have transferred their DVD-Disk only operations to a company called Qwikster. I still can’t believed how long it has been since Netflix started as I remember their DVD-by-mail service being around since the early part of last decade.

Now, Qwikster will handle the DVD-by-mail part along with game rentals. Mind you, that although the company is part of Netflix, it will act as a completely separate entity, so we can expect the service to be altered from billing to user interface.

It seems like it’s Samsung’s turn to do the attacking as the Korean-based company has today filed a lawsuit against Apple in France. The lawsuit mind you, is not about design rather it involves the technology inside Apple’s product.

The details on the lawsuit are actually unclear as of the moment but it is said to revolve around three Samsung patents for UMTS mobile phone technology, and the 3G versions of the iPad and iPad 2.

From the looks of it, the fight between the two companies is far from over and we have only the lawyers to benefit out of this more than anybody else.

If you own a Verizon Droid Incredible, then this is surely a good day for you as the carrier has announced an update for your phone today. Today, Verizon Droid Incredible users will be getting Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Like any other updates, this will bring a number of system enhancements to the phone. Gingerbread in this case will bring a better MMS sending system, a fix on audio file saving from MMS messages, wifi support for VZ Navigator, and more.

The update is over-the-air meaning you can update without the need of connecting your phone to the computer. Just make sure you have a strong data connection and a full battery charge and you’re all set.
