Your life and the lives of others depend on your decision not to text while you drive.
[...] players are advised that 3D gameplay causes eye fatigue more quickly than 2D gaming and are told to take a break after 30 minutes of play [...] Nintendo also says that children under six shouldn’t use the 3D mode at all, since their eyes are still developing, and that parents can use controls built into the 3DS to lock it into 2D mode for children.
After waiting for some time, today I finally got the email from Element Case stating that I can order its sexy Vapor case. My favorite one is from the Vapor Extreme Metals collection: Vapor 007. Here’s the description:
This limited edition, raw machined case looks straight from Q’s lab, and is as spy worthy as your iPhone can get. After machining, a brushed grain is added by hand. Except for the Serial number on the inside of this case, there are no visible markings. This case is right at home in the pocket of your black tux,.. even if it is just rented.
I added to my cart and was ready to checkout… But then I got interrupted and when I came back I started browsing through my RSS feeds and here’s what I got from Cult of Mac (bold not mine):
Although designed like Apple’s own bumper case, it doesn’t fix the Antennagate issue. In fact, this only aggravates the problem. As soon as you put the iPhone inside the case, the signal strength goes haywire. However, I haven’t had any dropped calls with the phone inside the case.
As far as iPhone’s compass is concerned, don’t even try using the iPhone’s GPS inside the case! You might just find yourself falling off a cliff or something… seriously.
I do like the stupidly sexy Vapor case, but looks aren’t that important especially when the compass and GPS are made inoperable. No Vapor case for me. So sad.
TrustedReviews gave the Toshiba 32SL738 just 6/10 for 2D picture quality:
The wheels come off, however, when you ask the 32SL738 to deal with any predominantly dark scenes. The main reason for this is the recurrence yet again of what’s becoming an unfortunate Toshiba trademark: serious backlight inconsistency. A large chunk of the top edge of our test sample looked considerably brighter than the rest of the picture during dark scenes, with a lesser patch of trouble evident in the bottom left corner.
The 32SL738 sports edge-lit LED backlights, but they seem to be inconsistent, which is terrible.
Akihabara News: Now we’re talkin’. The LG X-NOTE P210 is a 12.5-inch notebook PC, but what makes it special is the ultraslim bezel. When marketing folks talk about edge-to-edge, it’s just a visual gimmick using a cover glass. The LG X-NOTE P210 is almost the real thing. Imagine the new 11.6-inch MacBook Air with a 12.5-inch!
These days, $899 gets you a 0.65-inch thick machine, complete with a 13.4-inch WLED display (1366 x 768 resolution), 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo SL9600 processor, a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and 4GB of DDR3-800 memory. You’ll also get a 128GB SSD, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and a 40 WHr Lithium Polymer battery [...]
That is quite a lot for not a lot of money. And the Dell Adamo 13 is one of the sexiest notebooks I’ve laid my eyes on.

Apple is on track to refresh the iPad by March and iPhone by late summer. A key component upgrade across these platforms will be a dual-core processor featuring a pair of 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 cores.
Probably, but only if dual-core CPUs don’t reduce battery life compared to current versions of the iPad and iPhone.
Overall I’m liking Camera+ plus quite a bit. It has almost all of the features that I’d want. I really dig the touch-control for aperture in addition to focus. The only big thing missing is the HDR capability in the built-in camera app, but Camera+ has a lot more going for it that it might become my goto camera app on my iPhone.
The 9.9mm thick Galaxy Player (YP-GB1) runs on Android 2.2 Froyo OS and features a 1GHz CPU, 4-inch Super Clear LCD screen supporting up to WVGA resolution (800×480), T-DMB, SoundAlive audio enhancing technology, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, 3.2MP rear camera with front facing camera for video calling, GPS, HD video playback, microSD card slot, Android Market and Samsung Apps access and a 1200mAh removable battery.
Where’s 3G??? I thought the Samsung Galaxy Player was going to be the iPod touch with 3G. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. If the Galaxy Player does end up being the Galaxy S without the ability to make regular phone calls, but have 3G like the iPad, this little gadget can unshackle us from the monthly money-sucking vacuum: mandatory voice call minutes.
Verizon may be getting a late Christmas present, if a new report proves correct. Apple is planning to ship between 20 million and 21 million iPhones in the first quarter of 2011 – 5 to 6 million of those CDMA-based. (Another 14 million to 15 million of the Apple handsets will reportedly be GSM.)
Taiwan-based component suppliers have informed DigiTimes that Apple’s original shipment target has increased from 19 million to 20-21 million. Maybe Apple thinks the global economy is getting better? Or maybe Apple’s next iPhone will run on LTE networks? I’d be more interested in an iPhone that works on Sprint’s amazingly fast 4G.
