But despite the good news, the company confirmed suspicions and postponed the launch of its highly anticipated L.A. Noire game until the first half of next year. Red Dead Redemption, a Wild West themed game that launched on May 18, has now shipped more than 6.9 million copies to retail (although New York-based Take-Two didn’t say how many copies have been sold through to consumers)

Nature Education — the educational arm of Nature Publishing Group — launched a mobile version of its open-access science library Scitable today — bringing its extensive library of science articles and social networking features to any student, teacher, or researcher with a mobile device. Mobile users are automatically directed to the appropriate mobile site for their device when they visit Scitable.com . The site, which launched in January 2009, is a social network for science education that also offers course management capabilities for professors. It allows users to read about a wide variety of scientific subjects, collaborate with others, publish their work to the world, and more. It also offers groups — such as public discussion groups, and private groups that professors can use for courses — which can function as virtual study spaces. The site has gone on to reach 500,000 science students across 165 countries, reports Vikram Savkar, senior vice-president and publishing director at Nature Publishing Group. But despite its success, he wanted a versatile mobile version of Scitable to better reach students in developing countries who don’t have easy access to computers or broadband internet

Among the new features this sensor will have is that it will chirp when it needs to be watered. Black & Decker will launch a new line of PlantSense-based high-tech gardening tools under the Black & Decker brand name. That should help PlantSense, a San Francisco startup, get broader distribution for its web-based EasyBloom gardening aid products. New Britain, Conn.-based Black & Decker will launch its PlantSmart sensors later this fall
