Another year, another attempt to project light onto transparent screens , but Pioneer’s Network Vision HUD is one of the cooler prototype heads-up displays we’ve seen. First off, it uses lasers to generate its ethereal navigation images — lasers make everything better — and second, it’s presently sourcing that data from a Android smartphone, making it a fantastic potental addition to infotainment ideas like Nokia’s Terminal Mode . Pioneer told Network World that it’s planning to actually sell a version of the technology by 2012, but that it might be an aftermarket product rather than an integral part of your car’s windshield . They are, of course, entertaining deep-pocketed auto manufacturers as well.

We’ve seen O2 Germany’s HTC Schubert and a Chinese HD3 , but here’s a giant Windows Phone 7 device with “T-Mobile” clearly painted on the upper right-hand corner of the screen. TmoNews got these alleged images of the HTC HD7 from their usual anonymous source along with a partial spec sheet, which actually claims slightly different dimensions for the phone and double the amount of flash memory (16GB in all) than we heard before . Different strokes for different folks, or is one of these two rumors totally off? You’ll probably want to keep both possibilities in mind before considering this last tidbit from the very same source: the phone will reportedly cost $199 on a two-year contract. Or you could just wait for us to blow out all the Windows Phone 7 details tomorrow , of course.

Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. “It was like shooting sparrows with a cannon” were the words of a U.N. peace-keeping officer, that was swept aside when Israeli attacked and invaded Lebanon in 1982.(1) And while refugees roamed the wreckage of Beirut in clouds of flies, mothers-eyes filled with terror and distraught-howled..orphans sobbed, and the stench of artillery smoke mixed with rotting corpses filled the air. Asked why Palestinian refugee camps were blasted to ruins, including houses containing women and children, an Israeli army officer explained “…they are all terrorists.”(2) Meanwhile, the U.S. (with its weapons and military advisors) gave its blessings to…
