Governments have traditionally had a “love-hate” relationship with technology: they love using it to keep tabs on you and your cronies, but they hate the idea that you could be using it to protect your privacy. One clear example of this is the whole back’n'forth that’s been playing out between RIM and the nation of India over the last couple years. Remember way back in ‘08 when the country demanded that the company give it access (one way or another) to encrypted BlackBerry Messenger traffic and email

We’ve seen some janky tablets over the years, and to be honest this latest one out of India hardly looks posh. But, for the price, it could be pretty amazing: $35

It’s been a long time coming, but after countless delays in getting the auction underway, bidding on nationwide 3G spectrum in the world’s second most populous market has ended — and four companies appear to have come out on top. Most of the Indian markets only had three licenses available, so you’ll likely be doing some roaming if you travel much, but Reliance, Bharti, Aircel, and Tata have all come away with significant swaths of airspace. And how much did it end up costing for the privilege of delivering high-speed wireless ’round these parts

We’ve been browbeating Nokia for using DRM to “protect” its Comes with Music offering ever since the service launched back in December of 2007 — a time when the industry was just beginning to shed its DRM shackles .

At Inhabitat we’ve seen 3D printers that create entire buildings out of stone and complete meals out of simple ingredients, but this week we watched in awe as scientists used a 3D printer to create the world’s first “printed” human vein . And if advances in biotech get your blood flowing, you’ll be excited to hear that this week a team of researchers successfully tested a new type of nanobot that travels through the bloodstream to turn off tumor cells. Contact lenses are also getting a much needed upgrade as scientists unveiled a new type capable of fighting glaucoma and other diseases by dispensing a powerful dose of medication

If you live in India, our story was correct — your mobile subscription music service will be called “Ovi,” and no longer carry the weight of the cumbersome Comes with Music branding — but we’re hearing that in other Nokia territories, including the UK, that’s not quite the case. Nokia UK told Pocket-lint that while the company’s online music store will indeed be renamed “Ovi Music” across all 22 territories this year, the Comes with Music service is here (and there) to stay. To tell you the truth, though, we’re not that interested in the fate of a brand name
