HTC’s been riding high on its smartphone success as of late, and now it looks like its ready to cruise into the automotive market. That’s right, the world’s third most valuable smartphone manufacturer is seeking to add a North American “automotive business development director” to its team. According to a job post that appeared on the Taiwan-based company’s website, HTC is looking to hire an “experienced leader in the automotive electronics industry” to “develop business in the automotive market.” Does that mean we’ll be seeing an HTC-branded EV hitting the pavement stateside in the near future? We doubt it, but we suspect this could mean an uptick in HTC in-car accessories and built-in console computers this side of the pond. [Thanks, Brian] HTC job post reveals intention to make a mark on American cars originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 27 Apr 2011 20:01:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

He failed as a footballer, but David Leon will be playing to millions in new primetime TV series Vera Northumberland in November can be bleak, but a more perfect backdrop for a crime drama you will not find. Happily for local lad David Leon, his days off from filming Vera here provided the opportunity to introduce his dog to the wild, empty beaches of his childhood. This is the lull, you sense, before prime-time ITV drama makes him famous. In Vera, based on Ann Cleeves ‘s Vera Stanhope novels, Brenda Blethyn plays the dishevelled but brilliant detective inspector; Leon is Sergeant Joe Ashworth, her young colleague. “They have this mother-son dynamic,” he says over tea in the Savoy hotel in London. “They bicker, but there’s a mutual respect.” Blethyn is as marvellous as you would expect, her accent perfected by watching Cheryl Cole on The

Colbert also thinks Trump is the only one who can cut into Obama’s base, because of his relationship with “the blacks.” COLBERT: See? He has a great relationship with the blacks. He must. How else could he get away with calling them “the blacks?”

April 27, 2011 No Comment
CBS's Bob Schieffer said Wednesday that Donald Trump is racist because he wants to see Barack Obama's college grades. Such was told to Katie Couric on the “Evening News” (video follows with partial transcript and commentary): BOB SCHIEFFER: I want to go on to what, to what Donald Trump said after he said this is out and everything. He said, “We need to at [Obama’s] grades and see if he was a good enough student to get into Harvard Law School.” That’s just code for saying he got into law school because he was black. This is a ugly strain of racism that’s running through this whole thing. We can hope that that kind of comes to an end, too, but we’ll have to see. To be sure, this is the kind of idiocy one expects from the shills on MSNBC, but the host of “Face the Nation” should know better than to get into the gutter this way. PBS's Tavis Smiley said Tuesday that the upcoming presidential race is going to be the most racist in history. This is a perfect example of just how right Smiley was because everything any opponent of Obama's says in the next eighteen-plus months will be deemed by some media member as racist. As David Byrne said many decades ago, same as it ever was.
