HTC Ville C tipped as lower-powered, cheaper One S
GOOGLE Wed, 16 May 2012 14:50:02 PDT
The HTC Ville S is not all that different from the One S. (Credit: BriefMobile) Less than one day after HTC announced its Desire C for U.K. consumers, yet another "quietly brilliant" smartphone has landed on our radar. BriefMobile obtained details of a handset with the code name of Ville C, which appears to be a cheaper, albeit lower-powered HTC One S. Hardware details are nearly identical to the One S and include a 4.3 qHD AMOLED display, 16GB internal storage, 1GB RAM, and a 8-megapixel camera. The processor, however, is expected to be a Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon S3 instead of the 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 chipset. Though the image suggests a 1.7GHz CPU, the source advises it will be clocked at 1.2GHz. Another difference with the Ville C is that it will come with Android 4.0 and HTC Sense 4.5 user interface. As you may recall, HTC only introduced the 4.0 version of its user interface back in February when it ... [Read more]Related Links:Hey, kids, more moms want......
Toyota, Nintendo team on in-car navigation remote
GOOGLE Wed, 16 May 2012 20:15:28 PDT
Ready to control a car's navigation system with a handheld game? For those who often feel they are competing against their in-vehicle navigation system to get to their desired destination, Toyota has a new tool that may help you beat the voice that lives in your dashboard. The Japanese automaker has teamed up with Nintendo to turn the Nintendo DS into navigational remote control that allows users to set destinations, map out routes, and even get sightseeing information. Dubbed the Kuruma de DS, the game card is Bluetooth-enabled for easy pairing of the handheld game with the vehicle's navigation system, according to a Kotaku report. The interface features Nintendo Mii characters and even sports a speedometer. The game will also show you information about where your vehicle has been and even pose quizzes. However, this little tour de fun is a bit pricey: Toyota's top-end navigation system runs about $2,600, while the game itself costs about $90. And you will also......

Fun with lasers: Try popping 100 balloons
GOOGLE Sat, 12 May 2012 15:17:22 PDT
(Credit: Screenshot by Tim Hornyak/CNET) There are many ways I can think of to have fun with a laser, especially one described as "the world's brightest laser you can legally own." Popping balloons isn't one of them, but YouTube tinkerer WorldScott's stunt is interesting anyway. In a bid for a record, he lined up 100 red balloons in front of a Spyder III Krypton and fired away. As seen in the vid below, it took a while for the 750-1,000mW laser, fired through a focusing lens, to pop each balloon, but it eventually did the trick. The green beam left a trail of red balloon fragments in its wake. Fortunately it wasn't powerful enough to penetrate the far wall. Related stories LaserSaber: A real 'Star Wars' lightsaber at last?
