GM's offering in-car internet for $500 and +$29 a month. Great! This is a stupid thing to get—think about devices like the MiFi, and ask yourself who would buy this. Plus, do you really want to buy a GM? If you go American, go Ford. They have cool tech! [Engadget]
Apple stores are ditching those clunky handheld point of sale computers—which are Windows-run—for iPod touches that can do the same thing. There's no way to write this story up without making an easy Microsoft joke, which isn't fair because those point of sale units have been a big part of why Apple stores have been such easy places to drop loads of cash.

Virgin erases Helio and the Ocean 2. But not before we erased the love and care we had back in 2007 for the company. Remember how progressive they were? Were? [Mobile Crunch]
JVC's $200 Blu-ray player does not stream media and does not cost less than the LG bd370 which does. It doesn't even cost less than the PS3, which also, you know, plays games. Do not buy. [JVC]

Obviously, it's not a spaceport like Mos Eisley, even while it looks like it. But you can call it a "starport" or "skyport" because it has been designed to capture astronomical events from the rooms—called "skyspaces"—inside the volcano. Turrell, an artist expert in optics and perceptual psychology, has spent the last 30 years creating it, removing tons of land and pouring in tons of concrete and steel to make it happen. His Roden Crater light temple is going to be the pinnacle of his work.

A skyspace is a structure that has an opening in the ceiling at calculated angles. At certain times during the day, and sometimes while combined with other kind of lighting, a skypace gives the viewer the sensation of floating in midair. The rooms in the Roden Crater have been carefully designed by Turrell to provide with this sensation, while offering unique vantage points to different astronomical events that happen during the year.

So in a way, this is a spaceport, although not for alien ships to land or take off, but for people to enjoy the wonders of light and the Universe around us.

The light chambers are accessible through a 854-foot tunnel from the side of the volcano, as well as from an entrance on the top, which opens the way to a hall which actually look like the interior of an spacecraft.

Looks like it's time to prepare a trippin' trip for 2012. [Deputy-Dog]

We're hoping there's more than just keypad styles on the touchscreen—maybe some kinda QWERTY or something—but we do see that it looks different when a call is in effect. Head over to check out more pics.

Sky announces 'IM-R200' adopting OLED touch keypad [AVING]

Another Wednesday, another korean duderina holding a slider phone with another scroll-wheel and yet another oh-so-boring-already-will-it-ever-stop iPod look. However, in addition to the usual MP3 player and the usual 1.3 megapixel camera and the usual voice recorder, this Sky IM-S200K has something different: its scroll-wheel is electro-luminescent. And in the middle of it is some kind of "OK Magic" button, which probably summons demons from a secret inter-dimensional time-space continuum that will take your SMS and deliver it to people in other galaxies. Or make a white rabbit appear or something. We will never know, because even while this nice phone costs $430, we will probably never see it outside Korea. You can, however, see a couple more pics right after the jump. – Jesús Díaz

The IM-U130 is only available in Korea, but this phone looks like one we wouldn't mind having in the States as well. – Jason Chen

With cellphones increasingly playing the dual role of communication device and entertainment focal point, it's only a matter of time until someone gets it right, hopefully in our lifetime. – Nicholas Deleon

This phone's got everything you'd want. Starting with a 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus and close-up functions and ending with a 2.0-inch LCD screen and a price that makes it an affordable phone in Korea, rather than something crazy expensive here in the US. The Pantech IM-8600 also has a rotating clamshell design and all the usual features. Also look for the IM-8700 F2F (face-to-face) phone that has the same design but includes video conferencing. Both will be sold under the company's SKY brand.
