In case you haven’t been apprised of the situation, your addiction to texting and email is ruining your relationship… with god. According to Vincent Nichols, head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, modern friendships built around (or involving) heavy SMS volley, electronic mail correspondences, and social networking sites create “transient relationships” which put users at the risk of suicide. Yes, suicide. According to the British man of the cloth, using electronic communication to build friendships is causing humanity to lose “the ability to build interpersonal communication that’s necessary for living together.” Sure, it may sound like heavy FUD talk, but there is sense in some of his points. For instance, the Archbishop of Westminster believes that social networking sites encourage people to concentrate on their number of friends rather than build actual relationships, and they tend to view that number as a commodity. Anyone who’s seen the growth of Facebook and MySpace shouldn’t have trouble making that connection, but when it comes to SMS and email, your friendship has likely moved on, and lumping that kind of one-to-one communication in with the broad relationships of social networking sites seems like an unfair characterization. We put the question to our typically calm and even-keeled commenter community — are we doomed, or what?

Those crazy Kiwis at Martin Jetpack like to pop in every now and then to show off their eponymous flying craft, and though we still don’t have a timeframe for plunking down $150,000 to own one and donning our best Boba Fett costume for the inaugural flight home, the company is making accommodations. Starting early next year in its hometown of Christchurch, New Zealand, you’ll be able to try out the flight pack yourself as part of the Martin Jetpack Experience. The “low, slow” thrill ride won’t hover above 3.3 feet or go faster than 6.2 miles per hour, but according to The New Zealand Herald, it’s only expected to cost about as much as bungie jumping, and if you ask really nicely, we’re sure they won’t mind you wearing the costume anyway.

The ASUS Eee Keyboard is thin, sleek, and has a touchscreen pad. This do-it-yourself is bulky, uses a green backlight, and has instead a wireless mouse and numpad. Still, there’s something magical and all kinds of wonderful about this home project, essentially an Eee PC 900 shoved into a Sven Multimedia EL 4002 keyboard. All you need is a VGA cable hooked up to a monitor and you’re officially good to go. Itching to recreate this beaut for yourself? Hit up the read link for a plethora of in-process screenshots and some commentary from its maker.

Remember that pretty Windows Mobile 6.5-ish skin for AT&T’s Warhawk (a.k.a. HTC Touch Diamond2) we saw last week? Looks like it (or another very similar skin) is ready to make another appearance. The Inquirer managed to get a walkthrough of what’s being called the final build of WinMo 6.5, and while there isn’t a lot of new functionality shown — large portions of the video are devoted to My Phone syncing and QR codes — we do get to seem a few Zune inspired ideas and a brief glimpse of how it handles flash. It’s still on track for release by Christmas, and if you want your glimpse now, check out the video after the break.

For all intents and purposes, HP’s Compaq Presario CQ60 is a pretty unremarkable laptop — but slap a $300 price tag on it like Walmart has done, a price comparable to most netbooks on the market, and that reframes the entire conversation. Computer Shopper has gotten some hands-on time with the machine, and while not spectacular, it seems to outperform Intel Atom-based machines. You’re still not gonna be able to do much more than check your email and browse the web, though, and the tradeoff for having a 15.6-inch display and DVD burner is a bulkier, less travel-friendly form factor. Still, this seems to do an apt job at filling in that gap between netbook and laptop, and we’re sure someone out there will appreciate or feeling nostalgic over that modem jack.

Well, that didn’t take long. Less than a day after Acer announced the new Timeline 8000 series, the 14-inch AS4810T-8480 has popped up on an Office Depot shelf for $699. It’s not bad for the money — you’re getting a 1.4GHz Core Solo SU3500, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB disk, and eight hours of battery life — but we’d wait to buy until next week, when our tipster says it’ll be on sale for $549. Anyone planning to pick one up?

[Thanks, Mike]

If you’ve been using your BlackBerry in the last 24 hours or so, you’ve probably noticed that red star plastered on the App World icon, signaling it’s time for an upgrade. Yes, RIM’s version of the app store has hit version 1.1, and the bulk of the update concerns better navigation options — new categories, top downloads for free and premium apps, and the ability to sort search results by name, release date, rating, price, and developer. Outside of that, we’ve also got the option to now archive apps on SD card or other memory, but unfortunately there’s no option to run those programs without reinstalling to internal memory. The update is available for all countries, including the recently-introduced group of ten. Full details after the break.

Well, what do we have here? One of our readers sent us a screenshot from Sprint’s Sales Portal that included the above roadmap for its WiMAX rollout this year. A number of the yet-to-be-launched cities we’ve already heard about — Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Charlotte — but to the best of our knowledge, the rest of them are brand new entries. Additionally, Baltimore residents can look forward to some sort of coverage update in the fourth quarter. We’d be lying if we said we weren’t jealous that Salem (population 3,000) and Milledgeville (population 19,000) are getting the wireless network before most of us on staff, but the service has to start somewhere, right? No indication here of 2010 plans, but last we heard that included Boston, Houston, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

Update: As tipster Carlos points out, Clearwire’s website already has some coverage maps for some of the cities listed in the third quarter, as well as some markets not listed here.

We could’ve sworn it was already available for pre-order, but seeing as Google cache is telling us otherwise, we thought it best to give you a heads up that Amazon is now accepting monies for Mac OS X 10.6 a.k.a. Snow Leopard. Nothing new about the date and price from what we heard at WWDC this year, it’s still listed for September at $29. Five-user family pack is $49, Server version is $499, and you can bundle a single or five-user pack with iWork and iLife for $169 and $229, respectively. We don’t anticipate the OS being in short supply come launch, but if you need a peace of mind and Snow Leopard on day one, pull out your credit card and direct your browser Amazon’s way.

[Thanks, Luis M]
