The unique lineup of Translucent Mirror cameras from Sony just got a little bigger, as the company unveiled a brand new model: the Sony Alpha SLT-A37 (and we’ve just posted our hands-on preview!) Closely-related to the existing SLT-A35 model, the Sony A37 has a subtly restyled body that’s exactly the same size, but just a little heavier.

Since last year, HTC itself has been happy to let you unlock the bootloaders on its Android devices, but that doesn’t mean you’ll always be able to. If you’ll recall, the international version of the One X was rooted just a few weeks ago, but such access apparently isn’t in the cards for the AT&T-branded variant . The inconsistency was discovered by the likes of the XDA-Developers forums and MoDaCo , and after we pinged HTC for comment it responded with the following: HTC is committed to listening to users and delivering customer satisfaction.

Internet Explorer associated with an exploit ? Color us shocked . Facetiousness aside, it’s seriously about time you switched over to Chrome or Firefox (as a mitigation tool; not a foolproof solution), and if you’re a desktop user relying on Flash Player, well…

Portland, Oregon photographer Martin Waugh is obsessed with water. Trained in physics, about 10 years ago he was fascinated by high-speed photography and the balloon popping, smashing light bulb, water splashing images of Harold Edgerton . Seeing those images, he decided that it was the perfect way to blend his love of science and photography.

Arriving at the Celebrity Camera Club Tumblr blog full of anticipation of seeing Flavor Flav or the Octomom with a Canon 5D Mark II, I was badly let down. The celebrities in this gallery of the would-be and the almost photographers and their cameras are for the most part folks from the past. The talented and not so talented, holding film cameras, all supposedly caught in the act of shooting pictures.

Hot off the heels of the One X and EVO 4G LTE spending some prolonged time at customs , now another member of HTC’s sensational family appears to be feeling the rigorous effects of the ITC.
Accuracy is generally an important consideration in computer chips, but a team of researchers led by Rice University are touting a new “inexact” chip (dubbed PCMOS) that they say could lead to as much as a fifteen-fold increase in efficiency. Their latest work, which won a best paper award at a recent ACM conference, builds on years of research in the field from the university, and is already moving far beyond the lab — some inexact hardware is being used in the “i-slate” educational tablet developed by the Rice-NTU Institute for Sustainable and Applied Infodynamics, 50,000 of which are expected to wind up in India’s Mahabubnagar school district over the next three years.
While the main thing that would make Raspberry Pi’s diminutive $25 / $35 Linux setups better would be if we could get our hands on them faster , the team behind it is already working on improvements like this prototype camera seen above.
If you found yourself longing for the minor tweaks Samsung made to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany earlier this year, you may be in luck: Apple’s filed for a preliminary injunction against the slate stateside.
Let’s face it, whether you’re down at the laundromat or feeding the meter on a busy street, you can never find enough quarters when you need’em. Know what effectively sidesteps that lack of foresight? NFC , that’s what
We here at Engadget tend to spend a lot of way too much time poring over the latest FCC filings, be it on the net or directly on the ol’ Federal Communications Commission’s site. Since we couldn’t possibly (want to) cover all the stuff that goes down there individually, we’ve gathered up an exhaustive listing of every phone and / or tablet getting the stamp of approval over the last week. Enjoy! Continue reading FCC Fridays: May 18, 2012 FCC Fridays: May 18, 2012 originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 18 May 2012 23:52:00 EDT
Ready for your latest tour through the dense and meandering wording of patent applications ? Well, dig in, because it’s Microsoft’s turn to confuse lawyers the world over with this latest USPTO doc, submitted in November of 2010. The filing describes a computer-based program that would, essentially, analyze a primary device’s installed applications, cross-reference it with a different device and then either migrate that software batch or suggest similar apps to download on a secondary unit
Having spent a little time with it, we’re impressed with how much capability the engineers managed to pack into the Canon SX150 , at such an affordable price. As you’d expect given the bargain-basement ~$179 street, it’s not without its limitations, but considering what you get, it’s pretty amazing: A capable, well-built 14-megapixel digital camera with an optically stabilized 12x zoom lens and a good assortment of features
There’s been hints of it coming as early as February , but we now have a smoking gun at the FCC: the Galaxy S III is coming to T-Mobile. A Samsung SGH-T999 has popped up at the agency sporting newly added 1,700MHz AWS support that’s the telltale sign of a T-Mobile device, along with the T999 name itself (the T989 is the network’s Galaxy S II ). It also totes 850MHz and 1,900MHz WCDMA bands being used for HSPA+ data rather than just voice, a clue that the phone is ready for refarmed GSM spectrum
Sony must stay on top of Android updates for its tablets to remain relevant to consumers. (Credit: Sony) One must wonder why Sony cannot get out of the habit of playing a fragmented and behind-the-curve Android release schedule for its devices.
