The Navy Had a Hoverboard Waaaay Before Marty McFly [Video]

If you think Back To the Future 2 was the first time the world was introduced to the concept of hoverboards, think again. As far back as 1955 the U.S. Navy was demonstrating its own hoverboard concept, but unfortunately it wasn’t as slick as Hollywood had envisioned them to be. More »

The BBC’s coverage promises to make you sick of the Olympics by the time it’s done

Image

How much Olympics is too much Olympics? The BBC aims to find out at this year’s London 2012 games, by offering up “the most comprehensive coverage ever,” a list that includes 2,500 hours of coverage via the broadcaster’s site and up to 24 live HD streams. Live coverage will be offered up for every sport and each sport, athlete, venue and country will have its own page on the site. The BBC will also be providing a free mobile app, a mobile browser site and apps for connected TVs3D and Super Hi-Vision coverage is a bonus. Check out an explanatory video about the new video player after the break, as well as some scheduling information in the source link below. And maybe think about a training regimen to get ready to watch this summer’s games.

Did you hear the one about Chrome for iOS?

Earlier today one “analyst” published an assumption that Google would be making Chrome for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and would market it extensively, and basically bring the desktop browser wars to mobile. He didn’t claim any sources, anonymous or otherwise, or any leaked information, or any good faith basis at all for the assumption. It was purely a flight of fancy, and a poorly reasoned one.

This Math Equation Will Make You Less Fat [Health]

From trying fad diets to developing eating disorders to becoming a gym rat, people have basically gone crazy trying to lose weight. And it’s true, America is fat. But what if the secret to losing weight wasn’t in ditching carbs or hurling or doing interval exercises but rather if it was in math? What? Yes. Math. More »

Google Drive for Android: Just About as Good as the Rest

Keep Everything. Share Anything. When a company like Google uses a tagline that includes the words “share anything” for a Dropbox-like cloud file storage system, my immediate reaction is “with whom?” Google, after-all, is a company that’s made its money delivering ads based on what it learns about our habits. There’s been debate about this very question since Drive launched.

Upcoming Mozilla Marketplace lacks Linux support; open-source fix in the works

ImageBack in March, Mozilla outlined plans to further integrate web apps into Firefox to complement its upcoming Marketplace. And while the web store will launch with Windows and OS X compatibility, the browser has — at least for the time being — snubbed Linux. Given that Firefox is the default browser for most Linux distros, the community behind that OS is none too pleased. Though Mozilla execs have expressed their desire to add Linux support eventually, community contributors are already working on a patch to add compatibility for GNOME desktop. How’s that for taking matters into your own hands?

Panasonic gifts NTT DoCoMo with Eluga V, Eluga Power smartphones and Eluga Live tablet

Image

Among the slew of new Android 4.0 devices unveiled by Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo today were a trio from Panasonic, including the Eluga Power phone we’d seen before and a few new entries in the Eluga V phone and Eluga Live tablet. We’ve already gotten our mitts all over the Eluga Power’s 5-inch screen and 1.5Ghz dual-core S4 CPU at MWC, so this time we’ll take a close look into the other two Ice Cream Sandwiched models. The P-06D Eluga V is a 4.6-inch variant (sliding between the Power and original P-04D Eluga) while still packing a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU. The P-08D Eluga Live tablet measures at 10.1-inches, packs DLNA streaming features and slots stereo speakers into a smooth curved edge design. The Eluga V is scheduled to arrive July 6th, while the other two should hit Japanese shelves in January, hit the source link and brink your kanji skills (or translation software) for more information.

Pantech P8010 meets FCC, brings AT&T LTE along to say hello

Image

Though it hasn’t been officially announced, AT&T’s likely has a new Pantech LTE phone in its reasonable future. The P8010 just got approved by the FCC, and its next-gen radio offers support for no less than four LTE bands: the 700 / 1700 frequencies used by AT&T, as well as 850 / 1900. What’s curious about the latter pair of bands is that they’re the same ones used by the largest GSM carrier for its HSPA+ / WCDMA needs, suggesting that AT&T’s planning ahead for possible refarming of its spectrum. Aside from this hefty nugget of info, the federal docs don’t give much else away, aside from a well-detailed diagram showing the back of the phone — complete with its microSD and micro-SIM slots — and the usual smattering of compatible GSM / EDGE and 3G radios. According to preliminary benchmark results, however, the P8010 will likely be a step up from the Burst, sporting a 1.5GHz dual-core Krait processor, qHD display and Ice Cream Sandwich. To sneak a peek at the docs yourself, head to the source.

A sneak peek at the next version of Android Market and Music app

Android Honeycomb'ish smartphone Music appUpdate: Tech From 10 seems to be offline — but we have lots of images and a hands-on review if you want to see what the new Music app is like.

In what is probably a bit of a big-G whoopsie, the folks at Tech From 10 woke up to find a new, test version of Android Market installed on their Galaxy S.

Visually, the new version is almost identical. The carousel of featured apps has been updated slightly, and apps now have a ‘Content rating,’ but that’s it (image after the break). The interesting bit, however, is the inclusion of alpha and beta apps — most notably, there’s a new version of the Music app, which looks like a scaled-down version of the Android 3.0 Honeycomb Music app (see right).

Also available from the test Android Market is ‘Google Gallery 3D New 10.2’, ‘Google - Camera v12’ and ‘Google Desk Clock 10’ — but, curiously, all of the apps refused to launch on Tech From 10’s Galaxy S (Vibrant) smartphone. Are they Honeycomb apps? Or, more likely, are they destined for the next Android smartphone OS, Ice Cream?

If you want to try out the new Honeycombish Music app, Tech From 10 has made the APK available for download. You can also download the three Google apps, if you want to have a poke around.
