Leviton announces Evr-Green 120 portable EV charger, pledges no unsightly shedding of leaves
Lack of public EV charging stations got you down? Range anxiety a frustrating part of life? Wouldn't life be grand if you could just carry around an outlet in your trunk? Smile, friend, because Leviton's got just the bit your boot's been looking for. It's the Evr-Green 120 Level 1 Portable Charger, able to be plugged into any 15- or 20-amp household outlet before the other end goes into your car's receptacle. Level 1 chargers are not the fastest, often taking 20 or more hours to put a full charge into big batteries, but if you just need to top-up and do it on the go this could be a great solution. It's also one of the first truly portable chargers we've seen. The Best Buy charger for the Focus Electric (which is also from Leviton) is technically portable, but it's obviously meant for bolting to the wall. This one looks to fit neatly in the trunk right next to all your hockey gear, though the ice might well be thawed before this releases -- Leviton is only pledging a rather vague "2011" for availability.Continue reading Leviton announces Evr-Green 120 portable EV charger, pledges no unsightly shedding of leavesLeviton announces Evr-Green 120 portable EV charger, pledges no unsightly shedding of leaves originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 31 Mar 2011 11:46:00 EDT.

Big cable-backed broadband bill soars through NC House, one step closer to stifling ISP competition
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Time Warner Cable is made up of some insanely shady folks. And frankly, it's not just TWC to blame here -- CenturyLink, Embarq and a smattering of other big telecom companies are banding together in order to push the ironically-named H129 "Level Playing Field" bill straight into law. Unfortunately, said bill sailed through the clearly oblivious (or "persuaded") North Carolina House this week, with just 37 sane individuals voting against 81 delusional proponents. For those outside of the loop, the bill effectively suggests that commercial entities -- municipal ISPs like Wilson's own Greenlight that provide greater levels of service with lower costs -- are unfairly competing against for-profit monoliths. In short, that's an absolute joke. Rep. Bill Faison nailed it with this quote:
"This bill will make it practically impossible for cities to provide a fundamental service. Where's the bill to govern Time Warner? Let's be clear about whose bill this is. This is Time Warner's bill. You need to know who you're doing this for."
Yours truly just so happens to reside in the wonderful state of North Carolina, and knows first-hand what it's like to live in a major metropolitan area with a single high-speed broadband carrier. TWC has only recently announced impending DOCSIS 3.0 coverage, but early installations in the heart of Raleigh have been fraught with latency issues and router difficulties. Oh, and it's charging $99 per month for a service with 5Mbps up; for comparison's sake, Greenlight gives customers 10Mbps internet (in both directions), home phone and expanded basic cable for the exact same fare. So, NC lawmakers -- how exactly do your constituents gain access to that "level playing field?"

Atomos Ninja and Samurai HD video recorder / monitors bring compression jutsu to pro filmmaking
We all drool over the hi-res video shot by cameras like the RED EPIC, but for indie-film types, processing the massive files produced takes a lot of time (and therefore money) and not everyone has an ARRI ALEXA to do native recording compression. Enter the Atomos Ninja and Samurai HD recorder / monitor / playback devices that take your 10-bit video and compress it in Apple's 1080p ProRes QuickTime format to make your post-production life a little easier. The Ninja pulls video through HDMI and deposits it on your choice of 2.5-inch HDD or SDD storage, does playback via a 4.3-inch 480 x 270 touchscreen, and has continuous power thanks to dual hot-swappable batteries (available in 2600, 5200, and 7800 mAh varieties). Meanwhile, the Samurai matches the Ninja's specs, but swaps out the HDMI connection for HD-SDI ports and adds SDI Loop-Through to connect an external monitor, a larger 5-inch 800 x 400 display, and 3D support (if you get two Samurais genlocked together). Both units have FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 and 3.0 connections for offloading your vids. Those with Spielbergian aspirations can pony up $995 for the Ninja right now, or pay $1,495 for the Samurai upon its release this summer.Atomos Ninja and Samurai HD video recorder / monitors bring compression jutsu to pro filmmaking originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 26 Mar 2011 11:02:00 EDT.

Nokia continues reinvention, details new fonts and branding
Nokia's current typeface -- Nokia Sans -- feels like one of the great constants in the consumer electronics industry, a design that instantly screams "Nokia" the moment you see it (for better or worse). That kind of strong, tight brand recognition from something as basic and simple as a character on a screen really isn't something that you can buy -- it needs to be built and cultivated over many, many years -- so we're sure that Espoo's decision to chuck it and start fresh wasn't taken lightly. In fact, we're sure it wasn't taken lightly because the company has published an 800-plus word explanation and defense of its decision to kill off Nokia Sans and replace it with Nokia Pure, a font it describes as the embodiment of "beauty in supreme usability."
Of course, it's no coincidence that the font change comes just as Nokia's trying to go back to the drawing board, both with its hiring of outsider Stephen Elop and its decision to phase out Symbian and add Windows Phone into the mix; sure enough, the company says that it plans to use Pure on its devices and that "it has been designed specially for mobile and digital environments." What do you think?
[Thanks, Esko]

Hanwha unleashes HDMI / USB adapter for iPad, iPhone 4, and fourth-gen iPod touch
Feel the desire to watch your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (fourth gen) videos on the big screen, but looking for something with a little more girth than Apple's HDMI solution? Hanwha's latest dongle might do the job. As you can see above, in place of the original adapter's dock connector port is a USB 2.0 socket -- compatible with cameras supporting mass storage connection -- alongside the 720p-friendly HDMI port, but you'll have to use the switch to toggle between the two modes. And that little mini-USB port on the far right? Well, it's there to provide some juice to "reduce battery drain," but probably not enough to charge up your iDevice. If you're still interested and have a friend in Japan, Hanwha's charging ¥5,980 (around $73), which is almost double that of Apple's $39 connector. Is USB support worth such a price jump? Your call.Hanwha unleashes HDMI / USB adapter for iPad, iPhone 4, and fourth-gen iPod touch originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 27 Mar 2011 22:16:00 EDT.

Well, our friends over at MIC Gadget recently showed off an iPad / iPad 2-compatible card reader that fixes that on the cheap. Simply called the CF card reader for iPad and iPad 2, the thing slips right into the slate's dock connector port and, as you can see from the video below, it transfers HD video and high-res images in a snap -- it also sports USB connectivity. Like its predecessor, the reader's available from MIC for $29.90, but you'll have to wait at least a month to get your hands on one. Oh, and a word of warning, you might want to make sure the iPad supports your camera's video format before shelling out the dough, as MIC found the slab couldn't playback video from a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.Continue reading iPad, iPad 2 get unofficial CF card compatibility (video)iPad, iPad 2 get unofficial CF card compatibility (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 26 Mar 2011 12:49:00 EDT.

?Black Swan? Filmmakers Deny Natalie Portman Dance Cover-Up
Benjamin Millepied Black Swan Natalie Portman Sarah Lane
7:21 pm, March 27th, 2011
(Fox Searchlight)
The filmmakers behind Black Swan are denying a dancer?s allegation that she performed almost all of the ballet attributed to�Natalie Portman.
Sarah Lane, a soloist with the American Ballet Theatre who worked as Portman?s dance double, claims the actress only did about ?5 percent? of the full body shots audiences see in the film. She also says producers pressured her to downplay her involvement to preserve the alleged illusion.
Fox Searchlight and filmmakers have now released a joint statement: ?We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did.?
?However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film.?
Lane spoke out after�Benjamin Millepied, the movie?s choreographer (and Portman?s fiance), said in an interview that the actress did about 85% of the dancing.
That?s not true, according to Lane, who claims Portman?s head was digitally placed on the professional ballerina?s body, and that the overwhelming majority of actual dance moves are hers.
?It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me,? says Lane. ?I?ve been doing this for 22 years? Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you?re a movie star??
Portman, who has yet to comment on the controversy, won an Oscar for her performance.

Bold move Ms Lane!
Does she has any prove to back-up those allegations?
I guess someone it?s gonna get sue ;)
Just a diva that didn?t get the recognition she wanted.
she makes a valid point though, you can?t successfully pull all of those dance moves within a year and half?it takes YEARS to be able to perform like that without making errors
But being 5% of the movie and being 95% are very different
agreed but again, it takes years and years of practice to be flawless in this?i?ve been dancing for about 5-6 years, and my lifts still arent where they should be?in ballet, you HAVE to be prefect
I don?t understand what her point is. Is she mad because Natalie won the oscar? The oscar was for Natalie?s acting, not her dancing. What does this girl expect.
@sallyann, i don?t think she?s mad about that?i think she?s mad at the fact that they say Natalie did 85% of her own stunts?supposedly

Self-strengthening polymer nanocomposite works best under pressure
No one keeps carbon nanotubes down -- especially not these guys. The always popular allotropes have been enlisted by researchers at Rice University to create a composite material that gets stronger under pressure. When combined with polydimethylsiloxane, a rubbery polymer, the tubes form a nanocomposite that exhibits self-strengthening properties also exhibited in bones. During testing, the team found the material increased in stiffness by 12 percent after 3.5 million compressions. Apparently, the crew is stumped on why it reacts this way, but is no less eager to see it working in the real world -- discussion is already underway to use the stuff as artificial cartilage. And here we thought aerogel was cool. Full PR after the break.Continue reading Self-strengthening polymer nanocomposite works best under pressureSelf-strengthening polymer nanocomposite works best under pressure originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 27 Mar 2011 06:13:00 EDT.

ARRESTED: Rick Ross Spitting Bars Behind Bars For Marijuana Possession + Philly Eagles Baller Jason Peters Booked For Disturbing The Peace
Rick Ross aka "Officer Ricky" got caught with a stash last night and was arrested in Shreveport, LA for possession. Get the deets on the arrest inside and find out how NFL baller Jason Peters caught a case and ended up at the same jail as Rick last night.
Inmates at the Shreveport City Jail in Shreveport, LA had a star-struck Friday evening as they chilled in their cells with hip hop superstar Rick Ross and Philadelphia Eagles baller Jason Peters.
KSLA News 12 reports that Rick Ross was arrested for marijuana possession after a strong odor was detected coming from his room at the Hilton Hotel in Downtown Shreveport. TMZ reports that officers found a gram in plain view.
And in a separate (but sorta) related arrest, Jason Peters caught a case for apparently being too crunk. He was arrested for disturbing the peace after officers asked him to turn down the music coming from his car and he refused. He then tried to stunt on the cops and wouldn't produce any ID. SMH. That must have been a huge speakerboxx.
Both Rick and Jason were booked at the Shreveport City Jail where they got summons and were later released.
It's funny they both got caught up on some bull-ish as they were both in town for the Bay Bay Birthday Bash at the Kokopellis nightclub. Rick was one of the performers while Jason was an invited guest.
P.S. I can't wait to hear all of the Officer Ricky jokes from 50 Cent.

Earth Hour 2011 starts at 8:30PM your local time, wants you to switch off for a bit
In what has become an annual tradition now, the WWF's Earth Hour is presently sweeping across the globe, getting people to switch off non-essential lights and appliances for a sixty-minute kindness to Ma Earth and her finite energy resources. All you'll need to do to participate is power down the old World of Warcraft questing station, turn the TV off, and maybe take a walk outside so your lights don't have to be on, starting at 8:30PM tonight. Half the world's already done its bit and it's now coming around to those in the UK, Portugal and Western African countries to do the same. Will you be part of it?Continue reading Earth Hour 2011 starts at 8:30PM your local time, wants you to switch off for a bitEarth Hour 2011 starts at 8:30PM your local time, wants you to switch off for a bit originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 26 Mar 2011 16:15:00 EDT.

AT&T says Atrix 4G, Inspire 4G will have HSUPA enabled in April
We've already seen some hints that something was coming soon courtesy of the FCC, and now AT&T has confirmed to CNET that both the HTC Inspire 4G and Motorola Atrix 4G will have their HSUPA capabilities enabled sometime in April via a software update. That should dramatically increase upload speeds on the phones (up to 5.76 Mbps), and make them more "4G" than ever before, but still not quite as "4G" as some other "4G." Incidentally, the Samsung Infuse 4G has also been confirmed to be shipping with HSUPA enabled, although it's still not clear exactly when it will ship.AT&T says Atrix 4G, Inspire 4G will have HSUPA enabled in April originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 25 Mar 2011 20:35:00 EDT.

Earth Hour 2011 starts at 8:30PM your local time, wants you to switch off for a bit
In what has become an annual tradition now, the WWF's Earth Hour is presently sweeping across the globe, getting people to switch off non-essential lights and appliances for a sixty-minute kindness to Ma Earth and her finite energy resources. All you'll need to do to participate is power down the old World of Warcraft questing station, turn the TV off, and maybe take a walk outside so your lights don't have to be on, starting at 8:30PM tonight. Half the world's already done its bit and it's now coming around to those in the UK, Portugal and Western African countries to do the same. Will you be part of it?Continue reading Earth Hour 2011 starts at 8:30PM your local time, wants you to switch off for a bitEarth Hour 2011 starts at 8:30PM your local time, wants you to switch off for a bit originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 26 Mar 2011 16:15:00 EDT.

CANDIDS: Beyonce Added To "Songs For Japan" Relief Effort + Halle Berry And Nahla Go Shopping
Beyonce has been added to the long list of celebrities contributing tracks to Songs For Japan. We have pics of her walking to her car inside plus candids of Halle Berry and Nahla.
Beyonce was spotted walking to her car in NYC recently.
She will be lending her song “Irreplaceable” to the Songs For Japan double album to benefit the Japanese Red Cross Society.
And on the west coast...
Halle Berry was spotted out shopping at Bristol Farms in Beverly Hills with daughter Nahla.
I wonder if Nahla notices that people are always gawking at her mother.
Ahhh....so cute.

Nokia continues reinvention, details new fonts and branding
Nokia's current typeface -- Nokia Sans -- feels like one of the great constants in the consumer electronics industry, a design that instantly screams "Nokia" the moment you see it (for better or worse). That kind of strong, tight brand recognition from something as basic and simple as a character on a screen really isn't something that you can buy -- it needs to be built and cultivated over many, many years -- so we're sure that Espoo's decision to chuck it and start fresh wasn't taken lightly. In fact, we're sure it wasn't taken lightly because the company has published an 800-plus word explanation and defense of its decision to kill off Nokia Sans and replace it with Nokia Pure, a font it describes as the embodiment of "beauty in supreme usability."
Of course, it's no coincidence that the font change comes just as Nokia's trying to go back to the drawing board, both with its hiring of outsider Stephen Elop and its decision to phase out Symbian and add Windows Phone into the mix; sure enough, the company says that it plans to use Pure on its devices and that "it has been designed specially for mobile and digital environments." What do you think?

WSJ: Google teams with MasterCard and Citigroup for NFC payments, also files patent app
Ever since the Nexus S and its nifty little NFC chip hit the market, there's been speculation that El Goog was planning a foray into the mobile payment arena currently occupied by the likes of Charge Anywhere. Now, it looks like that plan may be in high gear, as the Wall Street Journal reports that Google's secretly partnered with MasterCard and Citigroup to test out just such a system. According to the publication, the early demo pairs "one current model and many comping models of Android phones" with existing Citigroup-sponsored credit and debit cards, and is using the phones' NFC chips with those VeriFone readers we recently heard about.
What's more, a newly-published patent application from the crew in Mountain View may hint at the software behind such things. The application describes a service that sets up Google as a third-party broker who receives the shopping cart info of customers placing orders via a device (including those of the mobile variety), allows them to select shipping and other options, and provides the total order cost. It then collects payment, coordinates shipment, and forwards order information to the seller to complete the transaction. So companies can have Google handle all their payment-taking needs in return for getting a sneak peek at what folks are buying -- something that the WSJ's sources say might be a component of the setup Google's testing right now -- as opposed to other third-party services, like Paypal, that only obtain and exchange payment info with merchants. Looks like Alma Whitten (Google's Director of Privacy) has her work cut out assuaging the concerns such a system will inevitably create in an increasingly privacy-minded populace.

Atomos Ninja and Samurai HD video recorder / monitors bring compression jutsu to pro filmmaking
We all drool over the hi-res video shot by cameras like the RED EPIC, but for indie-film types, processing the massive files produced takes a lot of time (and therefore money) and not everyone has an ARRI ALEXA to do native recording compression. Enter the Atomos Ninja and Samurai HD recorder / monitor / playback devices that take your 10-bit video and compress it in Apple's 1080p ProRes QuickTime format to make your post-production life a little easier. The Ninja pulls video through HDMI and deposits it on your choice of 2.5-inch HDD or SDD storage, does playback via a 4.3-inch 480 x 270 touchscreen, and has continuous power thanks to dual hot-swappable batteries (available in 2600, 5200, and 7800 mAh varieties). Meanwhile, the Samurai matches the Ninja's specs, but swaps out the HDMI connection for HD-SDI ports and adds SDI Loop-Through to connect an external monitor, a larger 5-inch 800 x 400 display, and 3D support (if you get two Samurais genlocked together). Both units have FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 and 3.0 connections for offloading your vids. Those with Spielbergian aspirations can pony up $995 for the Ninja right now, or pay $1,495 for the Samurai upon its release this summer.Atomos Ninja and Samurai HD video recorder / monitors bring compression jutsu to pro filmmaking originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 26 Mar 2011 11:02:00 EDT.

Switched On: The PlayBook polyglot
Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.
When Apple introduced the iPad, it had but a smattering of third-party applications, but the company stressed its own. As Apple iPhone software SVP Scott Forstall stated in the iPad introduction video, "We looked at the device and we decided: let's redesign it all. Let's redesign, reimagine and rebuild every single app from the ground up specifically for the iPad."
Compare this to the strategy employed by RIM, makers of the upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. One year after the iPad's debut, Apple's head start in apps has proven a formidable advantage against the onslaught of slates announced by its competitors in the smartphone world. Some have chosen to latch onto Android and attain backwards compatibility with over 200,000 existing smartphone apps. HP, with its TouchPad as flagship, will circle its wagons of PCs, printers and phones around the webOS platform. However, the announcement this week that RIM, too, will support Android apps says much about how the company sees its position in the tablet wars.Continue reading Switched On: The PlayBook polyglotSwitched On: The PlayBook polyglot originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 27 Mar 2011 20:10:00 EDT.

Samsung's 11.6-inch 9 Series laptop official at $1,199, still comes with 64GB SSD
An Italian demonstrator gave us hope, but now we're empty inside -- the exceptionally thin 11.6-inch version of Samsung's 9 Series laptop will indeed come with a puny 64GB solid state drive. Well, perhaps empty is a bit of an exaggeration, as the machine's gorgeous duralumin curves fill our hearts with joy, as does the comparatively inexpensive $1,199 price tag that Sammy just confirmed on its website. And hey, we know of an Engadget editor making do with just 60GB of storage in his notebook, so it's not an untenable thing -- but when Samsung's marketing materials proudly boast that "You'll have room to bring it all with you with the 64GB drive," it's hard to repress the tears. That said, if "portable" is your middle name, you'll find all the pre-orders you need at our source link.

Samsung Galaxy Player 70 captures vision of Android-ruled world in new promo video
It's getting a bit tough to tell Samsung's various Galaxy Players and their changing names apart these days, but the company has found a fairly unique way to drum up attention for its new Galaxy Player 70 model, which looks to be nearly identical to the Galaxy Player 5 being released over here. Mixed into an otherwise bright and cheery new ad are images of what we can only presume is an alternate reality where the Android robot is real, and in charge. Head on past the break to see for yourself.

Kodak and Apple win early victories at International Trade Commission, big bucks hang in the balance
Looks like the US International Trade Commission's had a busy week in tech, as Bloomberg reports the organization has ruled on two longstanding patent wars involving Apple, Nokia, RIM and Kodak. While neither is out of the woods quite yet, two companies have reason to be pleased: Apple and Kodak. ITC Judge E. James Gildea ruled that five Nokia patents don't apply to Apple products, making a ban on iDevice importation unlikely in the United States, and the commission has also agreed to reconsider Kodak's case against Apple and RIM (regarding camera image previews) with its full six members present. Since nobody likes having their products seized at customs, even such preliminary verdicts can lead to large cash sums being paid out, and Kodak thinks it's found a whopper here -- Bloomberg reports that Kodak received a total of $964 million in licensing fees from Samsung and LG, and the company thinks it can suck $1 billion out of its latest pair of defendants.

Film recreation of Soviet cosmonaut Gagarin's historic spaceflight to be shown off next month
If you know anything about the history of spaceflight, you're probably already familiar with the historic journey of USSR cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who flew around the Earth in 1961, making him the first person to ever travel beyond our planet's atmosphere. While audio recordings of Gagarin's observations exist, there are no video recordings except for those recently shot at the ISS following a similar plot of his trip, directed by Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli, who currently lives on the space station. This video has now been matched up with Gagarin's audio, and made into a film to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his flight, which is on April 12th. The movie will be made available on that date for free download on YouTube.Film recreation of Soviet cosmonaut Gagarin's historic spaceflight to be shown off next month originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 26 Mar 2011 07:08:00 EDT.

Introducing El Grando, the Fire-Breathing Dragon Robot
Robotic dragon El Grando breathes fire.Photo: Paka
Twenty-six feet long, 5 feet wide and throwing flames from both ends, El Grando is an ?endearing? dragon robot created by artists Dan Peppiatt and Paka.
With a propane gas system, pneumatic cylinders and scuba diving valves, El Grando is launching myth into scrap-metal reality and has ambitions to star in his own theatrical show.
Paka, one-half of El Grando?s self-taught creative parentage, is an artist and mechanic who fell into animatronics after forming a pan-continental theater troop that performed in squatting venues around Europe two decades ago. It is this theatrical background that has seen ambitions for El Grando rise from scrapyard to stage.
The dragon robot has recently been granted animated back legs, thanks to funding from Newcastle?s Centre for Life. These enable it more autonomous movement. Currently these legs are propelled by an electronic drive system from recycled wheelchairs, although Paka has intentions to upgrade these to petrol motors. He says: ?El Grando weighs around half a ton, so it really should have something stronger powering it for the long term. I?m tempted to mix oil with the petrol and have it coming through the dragon so it smokes its own fuel.?
At the moment, El Grando?s fire-breathing prowess is down to cutting-edge DMX controlled propane gas, similar to techniques used in theatrical pyrotechnics.
This means the flames, which shoot out of both El Grando?s mouth and tail, can be managed in a chasing or numerical pattern.
This technology makes the robot?s fire-breath relatively safe.
However, ongoing issues with the neck, a 9.8-foot-long cantilevered construction that Paka claims is ?the best piece of engineering [he's] made,? mean El Grando still can?t roam as free as its creators would like it to.
?We got it rolling around by the end of the festival in Newcastle without an umbilical cord and it was able to interact with people, but because of issues we?ve had with the neck breaking it was still kept behind a barrier,? says Paka.
The weight constraints imposed by the neck make sourcing the parts for El Grando challenging, especially as Paka uses recycled materials.
?Recently I?ve been finding things on eBay,? says Paka. ?Because I?m London-based there?s very few scrapyards, but a big market for second-hand technical stuff online.? The hunt for a 24-volt smoke machine has proven particularly challenging.
But that?s not reason enough to stop Paka, however.
?I refuse to believe things aren?t possible,? he says. ?There is room in the world to make an 8-metre, 5-foot-wide dragon a misunderstood character. Robotics and androids always get a bad press in pop culture ? they?re evil or want to take over the world. I want to stop that image of dragon robots being bad and show that they just want to play.?
You can witness ?playful? El Grando in action in the video above and see more photos of the robodragon in Wired UK?s El Grando photo gallery.

Qatar building fleet of remote control 'clouds' for World Cup 2022
When Qatar, an insanely wealthy Arab emirate roughly the size of Connecticut, won the bid to host the 2022 World Cup, one of the stipulations was that its newly constructed open-air soccer stadiums would be air conditioned. Of course, this is Qatar we're talkin' about here, so the solution would have to be as extravagant as its insanely wealthy Arab emirate status implies. That's why it was no huge shock when The Peninsula reported plans to cool at least some of the nine stadiums by using a fleet of solar powered "clouds," designed and constructed by a certain Dr. Saud Abdul Ghani and his team. Dr. Ghani, the head of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Qatar University, said that the aircraft (more accurately described as really, really slow drones) will be operated by remote control, made of 100 percent light carbonic materials, and will initially cost half a million dollars each. But, really, what's a few million dollars when it's for a good cause?Qatar building fleet of remote control 'clouds' for World Cup 2022 originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 27 Mar 2011 03:17:00 EDT.

HTC Flyer headed to T-Mobile, according to marketing scrapbook?
Sprint may not be the only US carrier spreading its wings with an HTC tablet this summer, oh no -- promotional materials obtained by PocketNow point to the HTC Flyer launching with T-Mobile as well. Though the marketing mockups don't prove that Madam Magenta will actually be offering the 7-inch Gingerbread tablet with Scribe stylus (or distinguish between T-Mobile USA and its European counterparts, for that matter), the carrier's clearly given it a lot of thought, and HTC's spec sheet for the Flyer has indeed listed the AWS bands necessary to carry T-Mobile USA's 3G data since day one. Sneak a peek at what T-Mobile's in-store tablet kiosks might look like at our source link below.HTC Flyer headed to T-Mobile, according to marketing scrapbook? originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 27 Mar 2011 19:03:00 EDT.

ARRESTED: Rick Ross Spitting Bars Behind Bars For Marijuana Possession + Philly Eagles Baller Jason Peters Booked For Disturbing The Peace
Rick Ross aka "Officer Ricky" got caught with a stash last night and was arrested in Shreveport, LA for possession. Get the deets on the arrest inside and find out how NFL baller Jason Peters caught a case and ended up at the same jail as Rick last night.
Inmates at the Shreveport City Jail in Shreveport, LA had a star-struck Friday evening as they chilled in their cells with hip hop superstar Rick Ross and Philadelphia Eagles baller Jason Peters.
KSLA News 12 reports that Rick Ross was arrested for marijuana possession after a strong odor was detected coming from his room at the Hilton Hotel in Downtown Shreveport. TMZ reports that officers found a gram in plain view.
And in a separate (but sorta) related arrest, Jason Peters caught a case for apparently being too crunk. He was arrested for disturbing the peace after officers asked him to turn down the music coming from his car and he refused. He then tried to stunt on the cops and wouldn't produce any ID. SMH. That must have been a huge speakerboxx.
Both Rick and Jason were booked at the Shreveport City Jail where they got summons and were later released.
It's funny they both got caught up on some bull-ish as they were both in town for the Bay Bay Birthday Bash at the Kokopellis nightclub. Rick was one of the performers while Jason was an invited guest.
P.S. I can't wait to hear all of the Officer Ricky jokes from 50 Cent.

?Black Swan? Filmmakers Deny Natalie Portman Dance Cover-Up
Benjamin Millepied Black Swan Natalie Portman Sarah Lane
7:21 pm, March 27th, 2011
(Fox Searchlight)
The filmmakers behind Black Swan are denying a dancer?s allegation that she performed almost all of the ballet attributed to�Natalie Portman.
Sarah Lane, a soloist with the American Ballet Theatre who worked as Portman?s dance double, claims the actress only did about ?5 percent? of the full body shots audiences see in the film. She also says producers pressured her to downplay her involvement to preserve the alleged illusion.
Fox Searchlight and filmmakers have now released a joint statement: ?We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did.?
?However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film.?
Lane spoke out after�Benjamin Millepied, the movie?s choreographer (and Portman?s fiance), said in an interview that the actress did about 85% of the dancing.
That?s not true, according to Lane, who claims Portman?s head was digitally placed on the professional ballerina?s body, and that the overwhelming majority of actual dance moves are hers.
?It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me,? says Lane. ?I?ve been doing this for 22 years? Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you?re a movie star??
Portman, who has yet to comment on the controversy, won an Oscar for her performance.

Bold move Ms Lane!
Does she has any prove to back-up those allegations?
I guess someone it?s gonna get sue ;)
Just a diva that didn?t get the recognition she wanted.
she makes a valid point though, you can?t successfully pull all of those dance moves within a year and half?it takes YEARS to be able to perform like that without making errors
But being 5% of the movie and being 95% are very different
agreed but again, it takes years and years of practice to be flawless in this?i?ve been dancing for about 5-6 years, and my lifts still arent where they should be?in ballet, you HAVE to be prefect
I don?t understand what her point is. Is she mad because Natalie won the oscar? The oscar was for Natalie?s acting, not her dancing. What does this girl expect.
@sallyann, i don?t think she?s mad about that?i think she?s mad at the fact that they say Natalie did 85% of her own stunts?supposedly
