Android Market to Add Ratings to All Apps
Apple's App Store has had mandatory ratings on all its apps ever since iOS 3.0 rolled out, and now Google will follow suit with its Android Market. Ratings on apps in the Android Market will become obligatory for developers over the coming weeks, perhaps to coincide with the release of Android 2.3. Along with the app ratings, Google is teasing new upgrades for the Market as a whole over the next few weeks. Google stated that any developer who does not specify a rating will be stuck with a "Mature" rating until the dev submits for a rating. The other ratings are "Pre-teen", "Teen", and "All" which should be enough to cover any app out there. Yes, even existing apps on the Market will have to submit for a rating. The rating system is a bit on the honor system, meaning a developer can have its app rated at whatever level it wishes, though I am sure Google will monitor things to a degree. In any case, it looks like Google is gearing up for some big changes with future Android revisions on the horizon, like 2.3 and even 3.0.

Thermaltake Launches Dokker Case with Integrated HDD Dock
Thermaltake has just launched its newest computer case, the Dokker. The Dokker has an integrated SATA hard drive dock up top which will work with one 3.5" or 2.5" drive. Just snap the drive into the hot-swap bay and access all the content stored on it, no software required. The case itself is an all-black mid-tower case with a mesh front panel. The case can fit up to seven fans, with two being included, so airflow should not be an issue. An additional 120mm fan can be installed up top to go with the blue LED one already there, plus there is a spot for a fan on the side panel to help cool off the graphics card. Speaking of graphics cards, the Dokker case can hold cards up to 12.5" in length so virtually every card out today can be held comfortably inside. There are two pre-drilled holes for water cooling tubes on the rear, with Thermaltake claiming support for a 240x120 radiator. Internally you will find a large cutout behind the motherboard's socket, as well as six internal bays with support for 3.5" and 2.5" drives, and four external bays with three being 5.25" and one 3.5". The power supply mounts in the bottom of the case with a dust filter being installed down there as well. The case itself features pre-installed dust filters for the front of the case, though no mention was made of the I/O ports on the front. From the pictures it looks like you have audio ports as well as two USB ports.
No word on pricing or availability of the Dokker case was announced at this time.
