February 4, 2011 No Comment
Photo: Screen grabs from video Chapter 1: The New City Our Dear Leader was interviewed for a documentary series about the future of mobility. The first instalment is about our increasingly urban future and how mega-cities are, in Graham’s words, “very efficient sharing systems”. Graham also gives us a quick tour of his extremely space-efficient apartment (see LifeEdited for more). Check out the video below…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Android is our future, the stat mavens all agree , but for all its rapid growth, Google’s OS still suffers from a shortage of top tier differentiation. This has in part been down to LG and Sony — two of the world’s biggest phone makers — spending the majority of 2010 watching the battle for Android supremacy from the sidelines (the X10 disqualified itself when it announced it neither knew nor cared what Froyo was). 2011 might just be the year of redemption for both, however, as LG will soon assault the European market with a pair of truly desirable and powerful Android smartphones in the Optimus 2X and Black , while Sony Ericsson’s well leaked portfolio of new Xperias includes the Arc , Neo and Play , each one of them coming with Gingerbread preloaded. We’ve wrapped our mitts around a pair of these high-hope devices, one from each manufacturer, and photographed the living daylights out of them sat side by side. Gallery: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc vs. LG Optimus 2X… fight! We humbly submit that the Xperia Arc looks and feels far more refined than LG’s admittedly well designed Optimus 2X. The Arc’s curvature seriously makes it feel like the thinnest phone we’ve ever handled and its weight is also dramatically, unreasonably minimal. Another note of import is that the 2X comes with a 4-inch screen whereas the Arc offers a more generous 4.2-inch display, yet their overall dimensions are nearly identical. All in all, we’d hardly object to having either one in our pockets, but the Arc wins it for us in terms of aesthetic appeal. Of course, the Optimus 2X has a dual-core Tegra 2 heart beating within, it’s not all about looks, though in the case of this hands-on comparison, it kind of was. We’ll have a full review of LG’s handset in the coming days, while Sony Ericsson promises the Xperia Arc will land in Europe by the end of March. You can see more of the prototype unit we got to handle in the gallery below and there’s a video comparison of the two Android newcomers after the break as well.

This clip may only be 15 seconds long, but it’s one of the best ads I will ever see to combat an Apple product. One man stands out in a crowd of thousands who look alike. Get it? Got it? Great. Look forward to the other 15 seconds come Sunday on Fox. [via Android Central] Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Android Phone Fans Discovery Date : 04/02/2011 18:30 Number of articles : 5

Sure, we are historically willing to accommodate dictators, we have endorsed and supported your corrupt regime to serve perceived strategic interests. But even at our most cynical, we have our limits. You, sir, have crossed a line our country will not abide. It’s hard to deny the awe-inspiring power of a unified democratic uprising, and Egypt deserves real elections. And you need to get out of the way before some really spectacular cheekbones are endangered. And there are economic consequences for Americans. If something happens to the Silver Fox, what else have those poor folks at CNN got? Parker/Spitzer? PARKER F-ING SPITZER? Those people need to eat, they have families. Everybody cool out.
