Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. Recently, news filtered out of Israel that one of Christianity’s holiest sites is planning to be officially opened. The site is where John the Baptizer baptized Jesus. However, in preparations for an influx of tens of thousands of tourists and religious pilgrims, there remains a major problem. The historical site is surrounded by thousands of explosive land mines, dangerous remnants and reminders of Israel’s past and present wars against its Arab and Palestinian neighbors. The Israeli Defense Forces, backed with United States military aid and weapons technologies, have been planting tens of thousands of mines in the region since 1967,…

The Motorola Xoom’s release is close , very close . How do we know that? Well, Moto has just handed one to Chad Ochocinco — one of the NFL’s most recklessly loquacious players — and you don’t do that with an unfinished product. For his part, Chad’s finding the Honeycomb tablet to be “pretty awesome” and regretfully informs Motorola that it “won’t be getting this back.” Tracking Chad’s tweets reveals that he’s just landed in Dallas, site of this year’s Super Bowl , where he’s received the Android-driven hardware. Something tells us neither he nor Motorola’s tablet will spend the next week hiding in the shadows — look for a lot more screen time for both in the buildup to the big game (and Moto’s big halftime ad ). One last note? Chad’s image above was taken using an iPhone 4. Guess he’s holding out for the Atrix 4G . [Thanks, Zizo] Motorola Xoom lands in Chad Ochocinco’s safe hands, is ‘pretty awesome’ originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 01 Feb 2011 03:51:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

February 1, 2011 No Comment
We hoped Boxee would surprise us at the eleventh hour and announce it had finally added Netflix to the service — technically making good on its end of January deadline . Instead, the company’s blog is now reporting that the service is “anticipated soon.” Apparently, the service is running fine on the device in the company’s offices — which, mind you they said back in November too, — but it still failed to satisfy Netflix’s security requirements. While that sounds like a big thing to miss in our books, a comment by Boxee’s VP of Marketing, Andrew Kippen, suggests the company just discovered the issue only an hour before midnight. This marks the second time users have been asked to re-adjust their expectations for when the big red box might pop up on their favorite media manager, but to Boxee’s credit, we were glad to see the company come right out with the situation instead of leaving us all on pins and needles. Now, let’s just hope this whole incident gets sorted out pronto, so we don’t have to break bad news to our watch instantly lovin’ hearts ever again.
