Though it may not always feel like it, the Internet is actually making us smarter, at least according to a new survey of scientists, business leaders, and technology developers.

A collection of 900 experts interviewed for the Pew Internet report The Future of the Internet IV, released last Friday, were asked their views on how the Internet is affecting us--now and in another 10 years. Though most felt that the Internet can and would improve our reading, writing, and overall grasp of knowledge, some were reluctant to jump on that bandwagon.

"Three out of four experts said our use of the Internet enhances and augments human intelligence, and two-thirds said use of the Internet has improved reading, writing, and rendering of knowledge," said Janna Anderson, study co-author and director of the Imagining the Internet Center, in a statement. "There are still many people, however, who are critics of the impact of Google, Wikipedia, and other online tools."

Research in Motion on Tuesday night confirmed a BlackBerry outage affecting some users in North and South America - the company's second in several days.
The problems do not appear to affect calling or text messaging, but users are not receiving e-mails. Others have reported problems with BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), an instant message program available on the devices.
"Some BlackBerry customers in the Americas are experiencing delays in message delivery," RIM said in a statement. "Technical teams are actively working to resolve the issue for those impacted. RIM apologizes for any inconvenience experienced by customers."
The outage is the second for RIM in that past five days. For several hours on Thursday, users were once again not able to receive or send e-mail messages.

Microsoft says it has a fix for a bug that was keeping Office 2003 users from being able to access some rights-managed files.
The bug, which cropped up on Friday, meant that users of Office 2003 were unable to access files protected using Microsoft's rights management service (RMS) technology.

Microsoft posted a software download known as a "hotfix" on Saturday that it says resolves the issue.
"The issue of the inability to open Office 2003 documents protected with RMS has now been resolved with a hotfix," Microsoft said in a short statement on its Office sustained engineering blog.
