It may not sound like the most practical combination, but we’ve got to hand it to AdvanceTC — it’s shoehorned telephony into a Windows 7 tablet, fulfilling our dark desire for a spiritual successor to the xpPhone . Yes, that’s not Windows Phone 7 you’re looking at above, but rather full desktop Windows running on a sizable quad-band GSM brick, whose insides hold a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD, a 4.8-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and a chunky 3200mAh battery to power the whole thing. Calls are handled via AdvanceTC’s custom UI layer and there’s some software trickery to keep that battery in check, as the device can automatically wake from sleep when it detects an incoming call or text message. We doubt we’d much enjoy navigating Windows 7 on a screen that small, but AdvanceTC also gives the Atrix a nod, claiming that the device can act like a full nettop PC when connected to an HDMI dock. We’ll let you know if the company gives us a price, release date, or any indication that it will actually hit retail at all.

Numbers in Madison appear to have approached 100,000, yet there is a near media blackout. If it wasn’t for liberal media web sites, blogs, and Youtube, who outside Madison would know anything happened? Joan Walsh writes about the media blackout , and Paul Krugman says it reminds him of the anti-war rallies in 2003 that drew millions into the streets, and most media wouldn’t mention them.

Turns out the competition was a magic feather for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. While the Nine Inch Nails frontman and his British composing partner each expressed disbelief over their winning best original score Oscar for their synthy, non-orchestral soundtrack to The Social Network, Reznor revealed a surprising anecdote about his road to Oscar glory. “[Inception] composer, Hans Zimmer, who I’ve been battling at awards shows all year, told me, ‘In a lot of ways, I hope you win because it’s helped open up the field a bit for texture of what film scores can be,’ ” Reznor told reporters backstage. “I am truly stunned by this.

NALUT, Libya (AFP) – Forces opposed to Moamer Kadhafi took control of several western Libyan towns, an official said as the strongman played down rebel gains after world leaders called on him to quit. Protest leaders established a transitional “national council” in several eastern and western cities seized from the Kadhafi regime and called on the army to help them take the capital Tripoli. The United States said it was prepared to offer “any kind of assistance” to Libyans seeking to overthrow Kadhafi as his opponents piece together a transitional body comprising representatives from the liberated cities. The unrest in the oil-rich north African state has set off a…
