| ExxonMobil sees 90% of all transportation still running on petroleum in 2040 Posted: 16 Dec 2011 02:56 PM PST ExxonMobil sees 90% of all transportation still running on petroleum in 2040  ExxonMobil sees 90% of all transportation still running on petroleum in 2040 Filed under: Etc. If anyone's got an incentive to show how popular gasoline will be for ever and ever, it's ExxonMobil, right? While the oil giant does see 90 percent of all the world's transportation still running on petroleum-based fuels in 2040, it also sees alternatives to gasoline making pretty serious inroads by that time, at least in the passenger car arena. According to the recently released annual energy outlook, around half of... |

The third time's the charm for Verizon customers, however, because a new model dubbed SCH-i815 has made its way to the FCC bearing CDMA and LTE radios built to surf Big Red's network.... |

The PS Vita could easily be considered one of the -- if not the biggest -- teases of the gadgetverse; since it was first unveiled, it's only had time for a smattering of cameos.... |

In a statement to Mobile Burn, Sprint says that it has "weighed customer concerns and we have disabled use of the tool... |

Nexus S devices over the coming month, with the luckiest few to get it today.

This time around, it's being poked and prodded by Uncle Sam at the Federal Communications Commission. There are no photos of the newest OLPC to be found, but unless things have changed, it'll sport the same Celtics colors as its brethren on the outside and a Marvell ARM CPU... |

Well, no, but we haven't exactly seen many shots fired lately. Sure, HP recently refreshed the Slate 500 with the Slate 2, but for the most part, products like this have been eclipsed by excitement around Windows 8. Of course, Redmond's tablet-friendly OS won't ship for another year, so for now tablet makers are releasing Windows slates with little fanfare.... |

Nor is it the fastest. It doesn't have on-board showers or full-size beds, nor can it lay claim to the greatest range or sleekest entertainment system in the air. But it will change the way we fly for decades to come.... |

Now that the deadline has come and gone, Senator Franken had a chance to review their statements and publish them in full on his website.

Sure, there have been a few true advancements like on-demand, streaming and the DVR, but only about 30 minutes of the average seven hours of TV Americans watched in 2010 was time shifted.... |

Swype tweeted the above message, indicating that the third-party keyboard company has its work cut out for it. It appears that Android changed things up this time around, including the way it reports screen resolution -- a crucial element to a keyboard, which naturally would cause a company like Swype a little bit of grief.... |

Well, erm, broadly the same ones that we saw when the HSPA+ version was torn down back in November. Big Red's version carries a smaller microSIM slot (it's also moved), presumably to cram in the Silicon Motion FCI FC8870 CDMA/EV-DO/LTE unit that's suddenly appeared on the motherboard.... |
