It looks like the folks at Viewsonic never got the memo that people don’t want touchscreen displays on devices that don’t lay flat. (Maybe Steve forgot to CC ‘em?) That, or maybe they just have a rebellious streak — which we can certainly respect. Either way, the company has just announced the VX2258wm, a 22-inch monitor that uses Infrared Optical Imaging to bring Windows-certified multitouch to the table (er, desk). And that, alongside 1080p HD resolution, ClearMotiv II Technology, a 5ms response time, a dynamic contrast ratio of 100,000:1, and support for HBDP (High Bandwidth Digital Protection) Blu-ray devices, sounds pretty good to us! Available now in Europe for

What do we know about the picture above? Not much more than meets the eye — this alleged HTC Knight is for Sprint and navigates Android using capacitive touchscreen keys. We do get a little more detail from the source of the image, who gave XDA-developers an XML file that mentions users should not “slide screen in/out” during activation. That certainly suggests that we’re looking at a slider, but not necessarily a physical QWERTY keyboard — after all, a very similar-looking HTC device recently appeared sporting a slide-out speaker bar .

The lack of inter-brand compatibility is a major annoyance with current 3D glasses — not to mention stands in direct opposition to our fashionable couch potato aesthetic. Luckily, XpanD’s universal 3D glasses are finally available for pre-order on Amazon, even though there’s no word on ship dates. They are however currently priced at $108, which is slightly less than the $125-$150 range quoted by XpanD’s Chief Strategy Officer Ami Dror last spring. That said, no surprise drop in price could justify their PR platitude as “the most anticipated product in the history of 3D.” Continue reading XpanD universal 3D glasses now available for pre-order XpanD universal 3D glasses now available for pre-order originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 23 Oct 2010 22:08:00 EDT.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Gunmen stormed two neighboring homes and massacred 13 young people at a birthday party in the latest large-scale attack in this violent border city, even as a new government strategy seeks to restore order with social programs and massive police deployments. Attackers in two vehicles pulled up to the houses in a lower-middle-class Ciudad Juarez neighborhood late Friday and opened fire on about four dozen partygoers gathered for a 15-year-old boy’s birthday party. The dead identified so far were 13 to 32 years old, including six women and girls, Chihuahua state Attorney General Carlos Salas told reporters at a news conference at the crime scene. The majority of…
