HTC Knight surfaces for Sprint with Android and a sliding hinge of some sort?
October 24, 2010 No Comment
What do we know about the picture above? Not much more than meets the eye — this alleged HTC Knight is for Sprint and navigates Android using capacitive touchscreen keys. We do get a little more detail from the source of the image, who gave XDA-developers an XML file that mentions users should not “slide screen in/out” during activation. That certainly suggests that we’re looking at a slider, but not necessarily a physical QWERTY keyboard — after all, a very similar-looking HTC device recently appeared sporting a slide-out speaker bar .

The lack of inter-brand compatibility is a major annoyance with current 3D glasses — not to mention stands in direct opposition to our fashionable couch potato aesthetic. Luckily, XpanD’s universal 3D glasses are finally available for pre-order on Amazon, even though there’s no word on ship dates. They are however currently priced at $108, which is slightly less than the $125-$150 range quoted by XpanD’s Chief Strategy Officer Ami Dror last spring. That said, no surprise drop in price could justify their PR platitude as “the most anticipated product in the history of 3D.” Continue reading XpanD universal 3D glasses now available for pre-order XpanD universal 3D glasses now available for pre-order originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 23 Oct 2010 22:08:00 EDT.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Gunmen stormed two neighboring homes and massacred 13 young people at a birthday party in the latest large-scale attack in this violent border city, even as a new government strategy seeks to restore order with social programs and massive police deployments. Attackers in two vehicles pulled up to the houses in a lower-middle-class Ciudad Juarez neighborhood late Friday and opened fire on about four dozen partygoers gathered for a 15-year-old boy’s birthday party. The dead identified so far were 13 to 32 years old, including six women and girls, Chihuahua state Attorney General Carlos Salas told reporters at a news conference at the crime scene. The majority of…

And in an era of increasing resource scarcity, there’s a corresponding demand for many of those materials. In other words, we have more and more trash, yet companies are demanding more materials for production and construction. So, there’s vast potential for a company like RecycleMatch, which does exactly what it sounds like it does — it matches companies with the res… Read the full story on TreeHugger

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from years of toying with technology, it’s never to believe a manufacturer’s estimate regarding battery life, but it seems like the estimates Nissan provided for its Leaf electric car may not be too far off the mark. Though the vehicle obviously isn’t getting 367 miles to its non-existent gallon , PluginCars did manage to eke out a solid 116.1 miles in the car’s first anecdotal test, and all they had to do to go the distance was drive casually and slightly below the speed limit — “It wasn’t like I was driving like an obsessed hypermiler,” said the driver, who spent most of the trip with the A/C blasting cold. Nissan recently revised their range estimates for the Leaf to anywhere from 62 to 138 miles depending on speed and weather conditions, so 116.1 is a pretty solid run, but until those charging stations permeate the countryside, we’re still going to take the ol’ gas-guzzler on our road trips.
