Motorola Droid Xtreme To Be Called Droid X?

These impending Motorola Android phones are getting rather tricky, aren’t they? So far we know the Droid 2 Shadow will be the successor to last year’s Droid, with a slide-out keyboard.

Microsoft’s San Diego Store Opening On iPhone 4 Launch Day

Uh-oh, I hope San Diego‘s Apple store won’t have too many people queuing outside on June 24th for an iPhone 4. That could be pretty embarrassing for the Microsoft store opening four doors down, on the very same day. A shopper/BetaNews reporter at the Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego discovered the store would be…

Using An Undersea Glider To Record a Terabyte of Whale Noises

At the tail-end of last year, researchers managed to successfully collect close to a terabyte of recordings of beaked whales off the coast of Hawaii, using the first acoustic-equipped undersea glider to travel to the depths, some 1,000m down. It was notable because normal acoustic recording instruments can’t detect the beaked whales’ noises, which mostly…

North Korea Is New Hotbed For Tech Outsourcing

Despite it being pretty-much closed off to the world, North Korea is the next boom place for IT and tech outsourcing, PC World has reported. Flash games are being developed there for outside publishers, largely thanks to the home-grown talent.

Super-Thin Waterproof Speakers Are Swimming Their Way To Cellphones

As you can tell from the picture, these speakers are dead skinny. 0.9mm thick, to be exact, making them perfectly-sized for cellphones, cameras and other portable gadgets which may require all the parts to be waterproofed. Murata, based in Kyoto, Japan, created what they’re calling the world’s first “ultra-thin waterproof piezoelectric speaker,” which is said…

New PS3 Model Numbers Spotted On FCC

With E3 just ’round the corner, it’s no surprise that the FCC has outed a couple of new PS3 models. Hang on…new PS3 models? Sadly it’s probably not another redesign, instead looking just like new chipsets. The PS3 models have the serial numbers of CECH-2501A and CECH-2501B, with both including 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR.…

The Epic Story of a 12-Hour, 800-Foot-Deep Underwater Recovery Mission

Looking for a good read? This oldie-but-goodie from Outside magazine tells the story of Dave Shaw, a deep-water diver who swam more than 800 feet down into a freshwater cave to retrieve the body of a fallen diver.

FCC Rejects Proposal That Might’ve Saved AM Radio

The Federal Communications Commission rejected a proposal to boost the signal power of AM radio stations by a factor of ten. Apparently the agency’s convinced that such a signal boost would actually harm those stations rather than helping save them. The FCC’s response to the proposal is causing a bit of debate because there’s disagreement…

The Battle for Your Bedside Table

You know, the clock radio was a pretty revolutionary device. And it didn’t get much in the way of updates after its conception in 1968 until manufacturers started adding in iPod docks.
