NASA to broadcast live Mars landing in Times Square

NASA wants as many eyeballs as possible to enjoy developments made towards the space age, by announcing that they will be broadcasting the Mars Mission landing live in where else but New York's iconic Times Square. Toshiba will have the honor of having their Toshiba Vision screen that is located in New York City's Times Square to be the largest East Coast location for the public to view live mission coverage of Curiosity, the most advanced planetary rover from NASA to date, as it is calculated to touch down on Martian soil at 1:31 a.m. EDT this coming August 6th.

Zynga goes up against 2 more lawsuits

It is not surprising that in this day and age, something sweet and beautiful can turn sour in the blink of an eye. Take Zynga Inc. for instance, at one point in the company's history, it more or less could not do any wrong, especially when you consider how all of its “Ville” games on Facebook were more or less a runaway hit.

United 787 Dreamliner emerges from Boeing factory, complete with golden head-to-tail 'swoop'

The first US-based 787 carrier is inching closer to its Dreamliner service launch. United Airlines celebrated the plane's rollout today at Boeing's Everett, Washington factory. The aircraft, which is set to begin international service later this year, received a custom livery, which includes a curved "swoop" - which oddly enough appears to be the focus of design chatter. That may just be because the public has yet to take a peek inside, though we did have an opportunity to hitch a ride on ANA's variant last year, which has been flying throughout Japan since late 2011.

Face of next BMW M3 caught while testing

Behold our first clear glimpse at the 2014 BMW M3. Photographers spotted the high performance sedan undergoing hot-weather testing in Death Valley. Engineers peeled back a slab of heavy nose cladding for the first time, revealing the machine's menacing lower valance and headlamps. The design features sizable air intakes down low, and it looks as if a new hood is part of the recipe as well.

Verizon may cut what's left of Alltel data starting January 10th, 2013

Alltel customers brought under the Verizon umbrella have been getting more and more signals that it's time to let go of that legacy phone. The latest red flag is a letter that Droid-Life understands is making its way to holdout customers. According to one copy, Verizon will start shutting down the remnants of Alltel's data service on or near January 10th, 2013. Alltel's mobile data should be completely inert after April that year - and those still clinging to the past will be down to basic phone calls and SMS until they get Verizon-blessed devices.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus sales to continue despite trial

Apple and Samsung have come to a head and locked horns good and proper in the courtroom, and there are plenty of lawsuits and injunctions being thrown about from left to right and to one another. Well, one development that should be duly taken note of would be the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit extending the temporary stay of Judge Lucy Koh's preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Basically, what we are saying is this – the Samsung Galaxy Nexus can still be sold by Samsung in the US without any steps taken to halt sales of its nature.

The Joy of remote-controlled Cooking: LG's Lightwave oven makes mealtime mobile-operated

An update to its Lightwave line, this new, next-gen kitchen appliance employs halogen heaters to cut down on traditional cooking time, a range of menu pre-sets to accommodate your meal-making and, most worrisome of all, a wireless connection for smartphone control.

10-inch BlackBerry PlayBook gets pictured, will it ever launch?

This is strange. A 10-inch version of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet has been spotted in the wild in Vietnam. Obviously, a photo shoot promptly ensued. That's odd, because after having been rumored for the better part of last year, we thought the 10-inch PlayBook was discontinued thanks to its smaller sibling's meager sales.

2012 Mercedes E 300 BlueTEC Hybrid

Leaping Past Others In The Premium Hybrid Chase. It is now clear that gas-electric hybrids, while constantly being refined, are simply never going to gobble up huge slices of any major car market. They are needed, sure, but consumers are already wanting to see what's next, what's even more efficient and more technologically advanced. All the new regular hybrids coming out these days don't really create much excitement since their technology is essentially identical to all of the other parallel hybrids already on sale.

Next-generation Xbox developer hardware leak may reveal Xbox 720 specs

. This past weekend, a supposed Xbox 720 “Durango” developer kit was posted on an obscure developer forum and offered to the public for the price of $10,000. The device resembles a traditional PC tower running a regular debug launcher, leading many to be skeptical about the authenticity of the prototype, which was said to feature an Intel processor, NVIDIA graphics, and "more than 8GB of memory." EuroGamer's Digital Foundry reached out to the source of the leak and multiple developers, however, and determined that the system is in fact “genuine.”.

It's been awhile since we've heard anything about the 10″ BlackBerry PlayBook, but now it looks like the tablet could actually be real. Some folks over at Tinhte managed to get of what appears to be a 10″ version of the PlayBook, gave it a simple tear down and was kind enough to share it with the world. The 10″ BlackBerry PlayBook features hardware that's not very different from the original 7″ PlayBook. Besides the larger 10″ display, it packs a 7,250mAh battery, a SIM holder, and a cellular radio (no word on whether it's 4G or 3G).

HP has acknowledged that it's been working on a Windows 8 tablet; it just hasn't mentioned whether or not the rumored Slate 8 is part of its plans. Imagine our surprise, then, when we're told that HP's 60-second "Make It Matter" commercial ends with an unannounced yet familiar-looking tablet right at the 56-second mark. There's only a fleeting glimpse, but it shows a metallic-looking body with a large black antenna window - the combination of which would fit in with the Slate 8's purported aesthetics.

Archos' Transformer rival reappears, passes federal inspection, forgets its keyboard

If you cast your mind back several months, you might recall Archos unveiling a new range of tablets that can pair up with a keyboard add-on. While the French tablet maker kept quiet on the specifics at its debut - with not even a mention of the hardware's OS - a filing at the FCC helps plug some of those information gaps. Courtesy of the user manual, we can see that the tablet will be running Android 4.0, while the as-yet unspecified storage capacity can be expanded by microSD. There's a mini-HDMI port that looks like it will require its own proprietary cable, and the keyboard dock.

Hydrogen fuel cells may get a shot at batteries after all

What Changed DOE Secretary Steven Chu's Mind About Hydrogen Fuel Cells. Natural gas now being retrieved from shale provides an enormous source of hydrogen. When Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize winning physicist, was named Secretary of the Department of Energy in the Obama Administration, he quickly redirected much of the Department's automotive research efforts into battery electric vehicles. So much so that proponents of hydrogen fuel cells complained loudly that the Secretary was starving their research efforts.

Automakers will no doubt welcome the Secretary's change of heart.

Nintendo 3DS XL sports less reflective screen than its predecessor, improved parallax effect

Supersized screens may be the centerpiece of Nintendo's 3DS XL, but a new Iwata Asks interview reveals that its top display packs some new anti-glare tech too. Takashi Murakami, from the company's Mechanical Design Group, notes that each of the LCD's three glare-prone layers were specially treated to reduce reflectivity from the original 3DS' 12 percent, down to three. According to head honcho Iwata, anti-reflection coatings have been on the Big N's radar since the GameBoy Advance era, but were typically abandoned because they were too pricey.
