Toshiba TG01 slowly, surely gets hacked to run Android

It’s easy to forget about the TG01 nowadays, but bear in mind that Toshiba’s WinMo beast from last year was the first production phone in the world to use Qualcomm Snapdragon silicon. Oh, and it was under 10mm thick and featured a 4.1-inch WVGA display at a time when such specs were basically science fiction — so you’ve got to give credit where credit’s due. Anyhow, the phone’s far from obsolete — apart from that little WinMo issue, that is, so the good folks on xda-developers have started the time-honored tradition of transplanting Android onto it. Important stuff still isn’t working (the lack of calling capability is a big one for us, personally) but we’re guessing it’s just a matter of time before we see a solid, usable build in the wild now.

Pockito wearable camcorder: endorsed by Miley Cyrus and Joe McCreep

Hard to say where exactly iRes Technology found this guy on the right (Miley clearly came from a nondescript party in the You Es Aye ), but chances are he was sourced from same pool of megalomaniacs that MSI dipped into earlier this year. If you’ll recall, iRes popped out its first wearable camcorder in July of last year, and the new edition is smaller, more capable and endorsed by voyeurs worldwide. The IRDC260 uCorder Pockito (2.5- x 1- x 0.5-inches) — which is available in black / red colors — is capable of being clipped onto just about anything; from there, it can log footage at 740 x 480 (30fps) onto a microSD card (2GB included). It syncs up with your PC via USB, and it can also double as a webcam should you need it to. Both hues are up for order right now at $99.99, and if you look even remotely like either of the individuals above, there’s obviously nothing we can do or say to stop you from fulfilling your destiny.

Will Iraq Finally Get Its Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Article by WN.Com Correspondent Dallas Darling. Due to a mass marketing and media blitz that confuses needs and wants, not to mention truth and lies, and one that eerily resembles the Third Reich’s political blitz and propagation campaign known as Hitler Over Germany, it appears that former President George W. Bush’s Decision Points will soon be a number one best seller. However, one extremely needful and truthful chapter will unfortunately be missing. The title for this chapter-and in regards to his preemptive war against Iraq followed by a lengthy and currently ongoing military occupation-should have been called: Iraq Will Finally Get Its Weapons of Mass Destruction. Since the beginning of…

The Big Three networks all briefly covered the conviction of former House Minority Leader Tom DeLay for campaign money laundering on Wednesday night. But none of them allowed DeLay air time to defend himself. “This is an abuse of power,” he said outside the courtroom. “It's a miscarriage of justice, and I still maintain that I am innocent. The criminalization of politics undermines our very system, and I am very disappointed in the outcome.” CBS Evening News substitute anchor Harry Smith seemed to revel in the verdict: He was once the most powerful Republican in Washington. Tonight, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is a convicted felon . A jury in Austin convicted him today of money laundering charges. Prosecutors said he illegally funneled corporate donations to legislative campaigns in Texas. DeLay, who is 63, could get anywhere from five to 99 years in prison. His lawyer called the verdict a miscarriage of justice and vowed to appeal. read more
