Toshiba Regza HDTV nine WL800A connects to your smartphone via MHL

The MHL Consortium wants to ban the HDMI from our phones for its connection Mobile High Definition Link, and technology has found its way into handsets as GSII and 3D EVO . But so far there was no TV to connect. Toshiba Regza line late in the WL800A is all alone in its 2011 lineup to pack the 5-pin port that takes 1080p from your mobile device and puts it on a 46 inch or 55-inch edge-lit LED panel. The best part is, the connection MHL pushes the power in your phone at the same time, the video streaming – if you do not have to worry about your phone dying on you in the middle of your marathon mobile cinema. Currently on sale in the Land of Oz for $ 2,329 (46 inches) and $ 3,179 (55 inches) AUD, the WL800 will not come to America. However, now that the GSII has landed stateside hope some TVs equipped MHL follow.

Swarmanoid ‘bots rule Air, Land, Library

An anonymous reader writes: The concept of distributed processing is not new, and its application to robotics leads naturally to the idea of ​​a swarm of robots. However, most swarms oriented robots are composed of many identical robots (such as Kilobots). In this case, there are three types of robots: a hand-bots that can climb library and pick up objects with hands, a club foot, which can drive around and bring the hand-bot, and an eye-bot , and perches that flies on the ceiling to provide a perspective to d’autres robots. Another point the reader on an unrelated video, but also impressive Kinect be used to develop a robotic assistant friendly.

IPad cart dock guard and football fans of their other half happy

British football fans agree on very little: how much everyone loves Jimmy Bullard, the need for Arsene Wenger to buy a good half-center and how painful it is to be dragged out shopping just before the coup off on Saturday.

ComScore Top Dog calls Android, Apple pulls further away from RIM

According to ComScore, about 82.2 million people in the United States with a smartphone (up to ten percent from last quarter ), Android came first as the biggest platform yet, capturing a huge 41.8 percent market as a boss. In a second not-so-close, Apple has managed to hang 27 percent, followed by RIM up third place with 21.7 percent – down 4 percentage points from the previous quarter. Microsoft is pulling back, with 5.7 percent, and finally with a dark Symbian 1.9 percent – both down compared to the previous three months. As U.S. manufacturers will, Samsung still leads with 25.5 percent of the market, while LG has obtained 20.9 per cent and, finally, Motorola with 14.1 percent, down 1 , 5 percentage points ahead. Apple was able to hang a certain date in the space with an OEM from 9.5 percent, while RIM BlackBerry-maker captured only 7.6 percent. Since wages battle androids like the iPhone and BlackBerry (Oh My) are always on top – at least for this quarter. Check the PR after the break for the complete dashboard.

Juno look back, Photographs Earth-Moon system

astroengine wrote Looking back as he zooms in interplanetary space, less than a month in its 445 million mile, five-year voyage gas giant Jupiter, NASA’s Juno probe captured a picture of the Earth and Moon . Juno was 6 million miles away at the time. This is a remarkable show of people get to see too rarely, said Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. This view of our planet shows how Earth looks from the outside, showing a particular perspective of our role and place in the universe. We see a humble yet beautiful view of ourselves.

The proposed Crypto Revives Ethics cypherpunk

Trailrunner7 wrote When a small group of activists announced the start of the Crypto project earlier this year, many advocates for, ahem, mature, security and privacy in mind he has the memories of the original movement cypherpunk began in the 1990s and founder of the group efforts to encourage the use of strong cryptography and anonymity online, as well as its successes and failures. The two groups are not allied with something other than ideology but the project leaders Crypto mobilize to follow in the footsteps of cypherpunks, build on their achievements and make security and privacy tools freely available to the masses. The group is working on a number of projects this time, including the creation of an anonymous remailer, by establishing a convergence of notary and setting up of a grid-Tahoe LAS. Threatpost has an interview with Sir Valor, one of the leaders of the project, which speaks of the need for better confidentiality and anonymity online and why cypherpunks are still important today.

Samsung launches YP-R2, YP-Z3, HD MP3 players compatible

Samsung has had its eyes on an HD PMP with MP3 support for some time – first announced (and later kill) IceTouch in 2010, and now the launch of the YP-YP-R2 and Z3 in the markets including Russia and Korea. Affirming that the loss / HD lossless audio MP3 is five times better than the standard variety , the company will test with the greatest access to Melon, Korea 2.2 million store music song. Until now, Samsung has only confirmed the R2 has a 3 inch screen WQVGA touch, is 0.3 inches thick and weighs about 52 grams, while the Z3, the other one has a screen, and measures 8 inches to 36 grams. The music player also supports photo and text display, FM radio and 5.1-channel surround sound.

The Z3 is available in white, pink and blue and costs 89 000 KRW ($ 83) for the 4 GB and 119 000 KRW to 8 GB ($ 110). There is no word yet if these devices will never see U.S. release, but check the source for more photos.

Alloy could produce hydrogen fuel using sunlight

Intellitech writes Using the state of the art theoretical calculations, a University of Kentucky, the team from the University of Louisville showed that the alloy formed by a substitution of 2 percent antimony (Sb ) in the gallium nitride (GaN) has good electrical properties allow the energy of sunlight to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, a process known as photoelectrochemical water splitting (PEC). When the alloy is immersed in water and exposed to sunlight, the chemical bond between hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water is broken (abstract). Because pure hydrogen gas is not in abundance without the Earth, it must be made in the release of other compounds. Thus, hydrogen is not considered an energy source, but rather an energy carrier. Currently, it takes a lot of electricity to produce hydrogen by water dissociation. As a result, most of the hydrogen produced today is derived from non-renewable sources such as coal and natural gas. The team said the alloy Sb-GaN has the potential to transform solar energy into an economic system without carbon source for hydrogen.
