VLC For Android Gets Unofficial Hourly Alpha Builds, Courtesy Of A Generous Developer. VLC is one of those tools that's in every geek's toolbox.
The video player that supports every video format known to man still doesn't have an official, finished Android version, though. In the meantime, however, developer cvpcs, has done us all the courtesy of setting up an hourly build server for the alpha of VLC for Android. The builds come in both NEON and non-NEON flavors. So, folks with older phones, or devices with the Tegra 2, for example, should probably download the non-NEON version. Newer devices packing the likes of the T3, S4, and modern Exynos SoCs can enjoy the NEON version. HTC ThunderBolt. The HTC ThunderBolt (ADR6400L codename "Scorpion" or "Mecha") was the first 4G LTE smartphone on the Verizon Wireless network.

Did you know that Milan is one of the most polluted cities in Italy?
Apparently urban sprawl and increased emissions are major causes for slumping air quality in the international fashion capital. So Italian architect Stefano Boeri has formulated an unusual plan to give the city back what it’s lacking: namely, some greenery. Bosco Verticale is Italian for “Vertical Forest.” The project took inspiration from traditional Italian towers covered in ivy. Boeri has simply multiplied the amount of foliage to a dramatic degree, envisioning residential buildings that resemble tall boxy trees. Though Harvard Design Magazine called the project “dreamily utopian,” this tower is no fantasy.
There’s lots of science behind the project to prove that it’ll actually improve the city atmosphere, and not just the skyline. 5X7xF.jpg (642×355) NDAA Ruled Unconstitutional - Obama Sued. 6 Reasons Why You Should Quit Blogging. That's one hell of a deep end: The 24th floor swimming pool with nothing but glass underneath (not great if you have a fear of heights) By Rob Cooper Published: 12:30 GMT, 18 May 2012 | Updated: 14:08 GMT, 18 May 2012 If you have a fear of heights, you won't want to dive into this remarkable hotel swimming pool.
The 24th storey pool in Shanghai, China, has nothing underneath it apart from a pane of toughened glass - and a huge drop. Fortunately for those terrified of the drop, the majority of it is inside the building - although you will probably want to stay in the shallow end. A pool with a view: A swimmer in the 24th storey pool in Shanghai - with nothing below him apart from a glass pane and a very big drop. Guests using the pool can feel like they are swimming over the air say hotel bosses, although many won't dare look down. The unique swimming baths, in the Holiday Inn hotel, Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao, are 30 metres long. A very deep end: The majority of the 24th storey pool is indoors although the far end is outside - suspended 24 floors above the ground below.

A city sorely lacking in shopping opportunities celebrated today's groundbreaking at the $72-million Gateway shopping center at 8 Mile and Woodward.
It was the second groundbreaking this week of a major retail center in Detroit. Covering 36 acres, the 350,000-square-foot Gateway center will be anchored by a Meijer Supercenter – the first Meijer store in the city of Detroit – as well as a Marshalls department store, a K&G Fashion store and others when it opens in about 12 months. “Let’s go shopping in the D!” Proclaimed Marvin Beatty, a Detroit businessman who is one of the partners in the project. “What a great day,” Gov. Earlier this week, the city celebrated the groundbreaking of a new Whole Foods store in the city’s Midtown district. Mayor Dave Bing, joking about his recent health problems, told about 200 people at the Gateway groundbreaking, “If my getting sick and going to the hospital leads to two groundbreakings a week, I’ll go back to the hospital.” Mexico's Drug War: 50,000 Dead in 6 Years - In Focus. Since Mexico's President Felipe Calderón began an all-out assault on drug cartels in 2006, more than 50,000 people have lost their lives across the country in a nearly-continuous string of shootouts, bombings, and ever-bloodier murders.
Just last weekend, 49 decapitated bodies were reportedly discovered on a highway in northern Mexico. The New York Times reports on an increasing numbness and apathy among Mexicans after years of worsening carnage, about which they've been able to do virtually nothing. Gathered here is a collection of recent photographs from Mexico's drug war and the people so horribly affected by it. [44 photos] Warning: All images in this entry are shown in full. There are many dead bodies; the photographs are graphic and stark. 7 reasons to shred your wireless contract and switch to pre-paid : Android. 7 reasons to shred your wireless contract and switch to pre-paid.

The world is your weirdly shaped blob. These blobs represent the extent that you'd be able to travel on public transit in 30 minutes.

A handy slider allows you to change your allotted time, and your starting point can be anywhere on the map. As these maps reveal, 30 minutes on public transit can take you a surprisingly long way in some cities, and keep you severely contained in others.

Ever used “Share” option in Android? New research shows smartphone growth is global. Last October, we launched Our Mobile Planet, a resource enabling anyone to visualize the ways smartphones are transforming how people connect with information, each other and the places around them. Today, we're releasing new 2012 research data, and the findings are clear—smartphone adoption has gone global. Today, Australia, U.K., Sweden, Norway, Saudi Arabia and UAE each have more than 50 percent of their population on smartphones. An additional seven countries—U.S., New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland—now have greater than 40 percent smartphone penetration.
In the U.S., 80 percent of smartphone owners say they don’t leave home without their device—and one in three would even give up their TV before their mobile devices! We conducted this research to help people to better understand how mobile is changing our world. A brief introduction to Web Intents. Connect with Web Intents. Introducing the Knowledge Graph. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. A Look at HTML5 Canvas Interactivity. The HTML5 canvas element allows for developers to implement interactivity and drawing which was previously undoable without the use of a third party program such as flash. In this article we’re going to be tackling the problem of interactivity, and how to accomplish it using HTML5′s canvas tag.
You could expand upon this information to make a basic HTML5 game. Games were something which until quite recently couldn’t be accomplished with just HTML and Javascript. With the canvas tag it’s become much more realistic to create a game or some sort of interactive idea with HTML5 rather than Flash which was what was traditionally considered to be the only practical way. To begin, lets take a look at keyboard input in canvas. The canvas tag acts just like any other HTML tag. The Javascript is a little more difficult. Next we gotta create the init() function, which will contain some basic information on what to do immediately when the document loads. SASS vs. LESS. "Which CSS preprocessor language should I choose?
