HTC?s Entry-Level Golf Smartphone Spotted In Leaked Press Image

htcgolfHTC?s high-end efforts have garnered plenty of love lately (and rightfully so, I think), but devices like the once-mysterious HTC Golf prove that the company isn't through churning out lower-tier handsets. The Ice Cream Sandwich-powered Golf?s existence was first revealed a few months ago when a not-terribly-great picture taken with its five-megapixel rear camera started making the rounds, but no one had any idea what the actual device would look like. Naturally, Team PocketNow did their thing and managed to get their hands on what they claim is the first press image of the device.

Nokia Fixes Lumia 900 Data Woes Ahead Of Schedule With New Software Update

Lumia900-Cyan-Image-jpgNokia certainly didn't waste any time when it came to fixing that pesky data connection bug that popped up in a few first-run Lumia 900s. Just two days after Nokia acknowledged the issue and pledged to make things right, they've already made that critical update available to those in need. In case you were keeping track, that's a full three days before Nokia promised to have the fix in the field. Not too shabby, Nokia.

It's (Only) a Boy for Mindy McCready!


Mindy McCready cannot even give birth without controversy.

The country singer - who abducted her son in late 2011 and was eventually found cowering with the five-year old in a friend's closet - welcomed a baby boy into the world last Monday, she confirmed over the weekend, despite reports that she was pregnant with twins.

His name is Zayne.

“Zayne is truly a blessing and a joy,” McCready and boyfriend David Wilson said in a statement. “It was a long and trying pregnancy; we’re so happy he’s here. There are no words to convey how happy we are.”

A rep for McCready says a "misinterpreted sonogram" was to blame for the initial claim of two fetuses.

The crooner's sordid history includes an alleged relationship with cheating baseball star Roger Clemens when she was only 16, along with the incident detailed above and a sex tape. She is also the mother to Zander, 6.

Researchers say crab-based computing possible, lobsters throw up claws in disbelief

Japanese researchers say crab-based computing possible, lobsters throw up claws in disbelief
IBM's Holey Optochip? Yawn. Fujitsu's K supercomputer? Yesterday's news. Forget about boring old conventional computing stuff, the future of computer technology lies in crabs -- lots and lots of crabs. Researchers at Kobe University and the University of the West the England's Unconventional Computing Centre have discovered that properly herded crabs can signal the AND, OR and NOT arguments essential to computers, not to mention those crucial 1s and 0s. Forcing two swarms of crabs into one, for instance, represents the OR gate -- a trick the computational crustaceans pulled off fairly reliably. Not every operation was pincer perfect, however, as the crabs tended to stumble a bit through attempts at signaling the AND function. At least guiding a group of crabs isn't as tough as herding cats -- researchers used a shadow to imitate a predatory bird and direct the hapless creatures accordingly. Sure, it may not be the first biological computer, but it just might be the first fear-based computer.

Can We Talk About All These Galaxy S III ?Leaks? For A Sec?

Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-but-noteAnother "Galaxy S III leak" hit the blogosphere this morning. A picture. An entirely fake, completely unconfirmed, and obviously tampered with photo. Just like the rest of them. Truth of the matter is, we haven't seen anything legit on the Galaxy S III yet, at least in terms of imagery. I trust that the specs we saw leak out during Mobile World Congress are solid, if not spot on. The release date rumors, on the other hand, seem to be a tango I'm not capable of. April! No, not April! May! Maybe April! WTF?! But far and away, the leaked images are the worst. There's only one that even comes close to looking legitimate, and even that seems forged. Let's have a look, yes?
