| Siri Cracked Open, Theoretically Opening It Up To Other Devices (Or Even Android!) Posted: 14 Nov 2011 03:14 PM PST Siri Cracked Open, Theoretically Opening It Up To Other Devices (Or Even Android!)  Siri Cracked Open, Theoretically Opening It Up To Other Devices (Or Even Android!) Serving as a stark reminder that there are people on the Internet who are way, way too damned clever, the guys over at the iPhone design/development house Applidium claim to have cracked open Siri to take an unsanctioned look at its (her? his?) inner workings. In a rare — but quite welcome (I mean, by us.... |
| Consumer Reports: Large majority favor stronger fuel economy standards Posted: 14 Nov 2011 03:14 PM PST Consumer Reports: Large majority favor stronger fuel economy standards  Consumer Reports: Large majority favor stronger fuel economy standards Filed under: MPG, Legislation and Policy, USA In advance of eagerly awaited details regarding proposed Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, Consumer Reports has released results of a new survey, and - no surprise here - 93 percent of respondents "support increased fuel efficiency." Further revelations include 77 percent in favor of car manufacturers producing more fuel-efficient vehicles, and 80 percent agreeing with fuel economy standards requiring fleet averages to top 55 miles... |

Due to the "large push" (presumably because of all the changes), the roll out is going to take some time to complete --... |

You might want to hold your horses. It seems users are encountering a host of issues, including a lack of WiFi connectivity -- pretty essential for a WiFi-only device.

| Posted: 14 Nov 2011 01:41 PM PST The Death Of The Spec  The Death Of The Spec Earlier today, my colleague Matt Burns wrote a post noting that most tablet makers may be largely failing because they've sold their soul to Android and are now just in the middle of a spec war, which no one can win. I'm gonna go one step further in that line of thinking: the spec is dead. There have been a few key stories from the past couple of weeks that highlight this... |
| Did The BBX-Powered BlackBerry London Just Break Cover? Posted: 14 Nov 2011 01:41 PM PST Did The BBX-Powered BlackBerry London Just Break Cover?  Did The BBX-Powered BlackBerry London Just Break Cover? RIM has been caught in rough waters for the past few months, and RIM has made no secret of the fact that their hopes for the future are pinned on BBX and their new BlackBerrys. The Verge has managed to get a picture of what may be the company's first BBX-powered BlackBerry, and — to my surprise — it's a handsome piece of kit. Code-named "London," the device bears a slight resemblance... |

With bold angular lines that smack heavily of the P'9981, this touchscreen slab (code-named "London") is said to be thinner than the iPhone 4 and will dutifully stand tall when placed on its side.... |

A star-studded event happening later that night has been announced, hosted by T-Mobile and featuring Drake, Maroon 5, Busta Rhymes, Dirty South... |
| Comics on the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet hands-on (video) Posted: 14 Nov 2011 01:41 PM PST Comics on the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet hands-on (video)  Comics on the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet hands-on (video) Way back in 2000, cartoonist turned comics theorist Scott McCloud discussed infinite canvas in his book Reinventing Comics. The concept, simply put, is that electronic mediums afford artists an infinite space on which to create their work. Cartoonists should, therefore, take advantage of this new found freedom. Of course, old media companies don't operate that way, and for the past decade or so, the quest has revolved around finding the most... |

So what's changed? Well, for starters, the ability to post to Twitter has been nixed from the Places pages, replaced by the natty ability to see what's going on in places nearby. Giving it a try in London, it's got a pretty broad remit, and covers live music, plays and even museum exhibitions.... |

Lexus may stop production of the HS 250h. Reports have emerged that the model is suffering from flagging sales and that the luxury automaker may seek to replace the vehicle with a less-expensive, more youth-oriented product in the near future. Last month, Lexus managed to sell just 250 HS 250h units, which is a decline of 72.8 percent compared to the same (already low) period last year.... |

But if you were left outside of the webOS mourning soiree and are still keen to call that HP tab your own, TigerDirect's got a slew of the slates ready for the taking.

| Posted: 14 Nov 2011 11:24 AM PST HTC Jetstream review  HTC Jetstream review When HTC entered the tablet game, it did so in reverse course. Where other manufacturers were jostling for elbow room in a 10-inch form factored world, the company opted for smaller, more familiar battleground, eschewing the rough-hewn Honeycomb OS for a Gingerbread-baked Sense overlay on the Flyer. Naturally, the time for that mini-slate to shine has come and gone.... |
