But if you think that's about as cool as the carbon material can get, listen to this: It can also be used to make ultrashort-pulse lasers. According to scientists from a smattering of institutions, the atomic-scale chickenwire material has the ability to absorb light effectively -- much like a sponge -- over a broad range of wavelengths. It can then release the light it absorbs in quick bursts that last a few femtoseconds each (with one femtosecond lasting one millionth of one billionth of a second), which is what ultrashort-pulse lasers do. With graphene as a component instead of traditional materials, scientists could develop a laser as small as a pencil that's immune to thermal damage typically caused by intense beams. The finished product, if ever someone actually concocts one, could be applied across a variety of fields -- everything from pollution monitoring to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/medicine/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">medicine</a>.

Using radar imagery collected from nine years of Cassini flybys, researchers were able to patch together the first global topographic map of Titan, published in the July 2013 issue of <em>Icarus</em>. Ralph Lorenz, a member of the Cassini radar team at Johns Hopkins, said, "Titan has so much interesting activity -- like flowing liquids and moving sand dunes -- but to understand these processes it's useful to know how the terrain slopes." In particular, understanding the moon's terrain can reveal a lot about its dynamic climate system. Like Earth, Titan's atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen, but the liquids and vapors on the moon's surface are made of methane and other organic chemicals integral to the creation of complex life. By studying the relationship between atmosphere and terrain, researchers hope to learn more about the evolution of life in its earliest stages, and inspire curious minds to turn their eyes toward Titan.</p> <p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/science/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Science</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/alt/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Alt</a></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/26/topographic-map-of-titan/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget#comments">Comments</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Via:</strong> <a href="http://www.space.com/21291-titan-topographic-map.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+spaceheadlines+%28SPACE.com+Headline+Feed%29" target="_blank">Space</a><!--//--></p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019103513001620?np=y" target="_blank">Icarus</a><!--//--></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=DagbgnO4jcQ:Yau2QNHgKBE:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=DagbgnO4jcQ:Yau2QNHgKBE:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=DagbgnO4jcQ:Yau2QNHgKBE:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=DagbgnO4jcQ:Yau2QNHgKBE:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=DagbgnO4jcQ:Yau2QNHgKBE:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=DagbgnO4jcQ:Yau2QNHgKBE:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=DagbgnO4jcQ:Yau2QNHgKBE:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/DagbgnO4jcQ" height="1" width="1"/> cassiniCassiniSpacecraftnasasaturnSolarSystemspacetitanTopographicMaptopography Sun, 26 May 2013 00:48:00 -0400 21|20583391 http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/26/topographic-map-of-titan/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/qXDa2-TlRIA/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/ae-candybar-phone/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/ae-candybar-phone/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget#comments <p class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/ae-candybar-phone/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img alt="Ask Engadget best candybar phone" data-src-height="196" data-src-width="432" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/askengadgetlogo09-1368192937.png" /></a></p> <p>We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so.

Well, we'd like to say we're sorry to hear it's been canceled -- but we're not. Why? Because a high amount of interest from people preferring to use their own computers as servers, has resulted in a change of plan. The result is that the product is available right away, and will no longer use cloud servers. This change means the need for investment has gone, evaporating the need for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/kickstarter/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Kickstarter</a>, too. This also means you can use the service as a private VPN, and always appear as if you're surfing from your home PC -- along with that speed-boosting channel bonding tech, of course. To sweeten the deal even further, if you purchase access to the beta program now ($90), then you'll get lifetime updates and support. After the beta, the price rises to $100.

Interestingly, the seller refurbished this latest Apple 1 to working condition, after paying only $40K for it privately.

The automaker is putting the symbols on vehicles so that emergency crews just need a phone camera scan for easy access to rescue sheets, which are schematics that show where to cut into a wrecked car when recovering trapped passengers. With such immediate knowledge, rescuers don't have to wait for a model confirmation or else risk cutting wires and fuel lines. While we'll initially see the QR codes only in Mercedes-Benz cars made this year and beyond (placed inside the fuel door and on the opposite side B-pillar), the company isn't being selfish: it's refusing to patent its method in the hope that every vehicle manufacturer will quickly embrace the technology.</p> <p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Cellphones</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/transportation/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Transportation</a></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/mercedes-benz-putting-qr-codes-on-cars-to-speed-up-rescues/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget#comments">Comments</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Via:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/24/how-mercedes-is-using-qr-codes-to-help-accident-victims/">Autoblog</a><!--//--></p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="http://media.daimler.com/dcmedia/0-921-658892-1-1601024-1-0-0-0-0-1-11700-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0.html?TS=1369448940259">Mercedes-Benz</a><!--//--></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=Gh15XQKoxJ8:ywq0lQ3yEqw:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=Gh15XQKoxJ8:ywq0lQ3yEqw:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=Gh15XQKoxJ8:ywq0lQ3yEqw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=Gh15XQKoxJ8:ywq0lQ3yEqw:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=Gh15XQKoxJ8:ywq0lQ3yEqw:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=Gh15XQKoxJ8:ywq0lQ3yEqw:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=Gh15XQKoxJ8:ywq0lQ3yEqw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/Gh15XQKoxJ8" height="1" width="1"/> carDaimleremergencymercedes-benzQrCoderescuesmartphonevehicle Sat, 25 May 2013 15:21:00 -0400 21|20583794 http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/mercedes-benz-putting-qr-codes-on-cars-to-speed-up-rescues/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/9_OTnsgYubA/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/glass-nest-lets-users-control-homes-from-their-heads/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/glass-nest-lets-users-control-homes-from-their-heads/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget#comments <p class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/glass-nest-lets-users-control-homes-from-their-heads/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img alt="Glass Nest apps lets us control our homes from our heads" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/glass-nest.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Those who already own <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/30/google-glass-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Google Glass</a> are more likely than most to embrace new technologies like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/02/nest-learning-thermostat-gets-refreshed-with-a-slimmer-design-i/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Nest's thermostat</a>, so it only makes sense that an especially eager adopter would find a way to combine the two. That would be James Rundquist and his new Glass Nest app: Glass owners now just have to announce that they're coming home (or heading out) to make their Nest units change the climate. More exacting homeowners can fine-tune the temperature, too. While the utility is both unofficial and quite limited at this stage, Rundquist has posted source code that lets anyone expand on the project. If you're in the rare position of owning both gadgets, we'd suggest giving Glass Nest and its code at least a cursory look.</p> <p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/household/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Household</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/wearables/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Wearables</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/google/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Google</a></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/glass-nest-lets-users-control-homes-from-their-heads/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget#comments">Comments</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Via:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.slashgear.com/google-glass-nest-app-lets-users-control-thermostat-from-afar-24283513/">Slashgear</a><!--//-->, <a target="_blank" href="http://selfscreens.com/archives/3284/glass-nest-lets-you-use-google-glass-to-control-your-nest-thermostat/">SelfScreens</a><!--//--></p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.glass-nest.com/about">Glass Nest</a><!--//-->, <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/jrundquist/glass-nest">GitHub</a><!--//--></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=9_OTnsgYubA:VDRERxvmETs:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=9_OTnsgYubA:VDRERxvmETs:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=9_OTnsgYubA:VDRERxvmETs:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=9_OTnsgYubA:VDRERxvmETs:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=9_OTnsgYubA:VDRERxvmETs:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=9_OTnsgYubA:VDRERxvmETs:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=9_OTnsgYubA:VDRERxvmETs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/9_OTnsgYubA" height="1" width="1"/> glassgooglegoogleglassHomeAutomationhouseholdnestNestLearningThermostatthermostatwearable Sat, 25 May 2013 12:38:00 -0400 21|20583294 http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/glass-nest-lets-users-control-homes-from-their-heads/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/DhQVzM7w5YM/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/iphone-biosensor-cradle-brings-us-one-step-closer-to-having-tric/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/iphone-biosensor-cradle-brings-us-one-step-closer-to-having-tric/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget#comments <p class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/iphone-biosensor-cradle-brings-us-one-step-closer-to-having-tric/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img alt="iPhone biosensor cradle brings us one step closer to having tricorders video" data-src-height="350" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/iphonebiosensorcradle01.jpg" /></a></p> <p>It seems like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/11/texas-instruments-brings-sci-fi-tech-to-life-with-dlp-hands-on/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">every day</a> we're getting a little bit closer to having <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/tricorder/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">tricorders</a>, and today's no exception. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have designed hardware and software that turns the iPhone into a powerful <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/biosensor/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">biosensor</a> that's useful for toxin and pathogen testing as well as medical diagnosis. The package consists of a cradle that contains an assortment of lenses and filters which line up with the handset's camera, along with an app that guides the user through the testing process. At the core of the device is a photonic crystal slide which basically turns the iPhone into a high-resolution <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/spectrometer/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">spectrometer</a>. While the cradle only contains about $200 worth of parts, it's just as accurate as laboratory equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars, with the added bonus of being hand-held. The team just received an NSF grant to explore other applications for the device and is working on a cradle for Android phones. Hit the break for a demo video and a peek into <em>the future</em>.</p> <p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/misc/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Misc</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/mobile/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Mobile</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/alt/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Alt</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/apple/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Apple</a></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/iphone-biosensor-cradle-brings-us-one-step-closer-to-having-tric/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget#comments">Comments</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="http://news.illinois.edu/news/13/0523iphone_biosensor_BrianCunningham.html" target="_blank">University of Illinois</a><!--//--></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=DhQVzM7w5YM:AWltXHxZC6c:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=DhQVzM7w5YM:AWltXHxZC6c:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=DhQVzM7w5YM:AWltXHxZC6c:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=DhQVzM7w5YM:AWltXHxZC6c:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=DhQVzM7w5YM:AWltXHxZC6c:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=DhQVzM7w5YM:AWltXHxZC6c:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=DhQVzM7w5YM:AWltXHxZC6c:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/DhQVzM7w5YM" height="1" width="1"/> appapplebiosensorcradledockiPhonemobilepostcrossNFSphotonic crystalPhotonicCrystalsensorspectrometertricorderUrbana-Champaignvideo Sat, 25 May 2013 11:22:00 -0400 21|20583746 http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/iphone-biosensor-cradle-brings-us-one-step-closer-to-having-tric/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/9657yKz7Lug/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/hipstamatic-oggl-public-itunes/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/hipstamatic-oggl-public-itunes/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget#comments <p class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/25/hipstamatic-oggl-public-itunes/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img alt="Hipstamatic's photo filter app Oggl now open for everyone" data-src-height="359" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/oggl-open-everyone.jpg" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/hipstamatic/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Hipstamatic's</a> subscription-based photo filter app is now publicly available on iTunes, a few weeks after its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/08/hipstamatic-launches-oggl/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">invite-only launch</a>.

The demonstration the sources claim to have witnessed featured one Xbox One connecting to another using "a local hardwired connection between consoles," with a Skype call bridging the two users. A similar feature is available on Sony's next-generation console, the PlayStation 4, both between consoles and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/21/dualshock-4-near-final-remote-play/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">via PlayStation Vita</a>.</p> <p>The other piece of the report adds to a bit we already knew concerning the new Kinect.

The Amazon-owned service has made all nine episodes of the historical drama -- shown in the US and in Canada on <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/12/lovefilm-warner-bros-tv-deal/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">History Channel</a> -- available for streaming.

Using a 3D accelerometer, the eLECT analyzes terrain with a 0.2 second window to adjust to how bumpy or smooth your ride is. At first glance, 0.2 seconds seems impressive, but it equates to a distance of 3.6 feet when traveling at 12.4MPH. Indeed, on challenging trails, a lot can happen in 3.6 feet, and eLect's reaction time might be a touch on the slow side. While the system isn't quite perfect, it does offer some sweet options. For example, cyclists can toggle between automatic and manual control of the compression damper using the accompanying Bluetooth remote. Magura's eLECT isn't the first of its kind -- RockShox and Fox both have their own e-suspension systems -- but it's one of the lightest; the combined weight of the damper and remote is a mere 0.2 pound. There's no word yet on availability or pricing, but you can check out the results of Bike Radar's test ride at the source.</p> <p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/peripherals/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/transportation/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Transportation</a></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/magura-elect-suspension-fork/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget#comments">Comments</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/magura-elect-electronic-suspension-fork-37433/#null" target="_blank">Bike Radar</a><!--//--></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=lU9gGv89y6c:S_xarXvEYLg:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=lU9gGv89y6c:S_xarXvEYLg:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=lU9gGv89y6c:S_xarXvEYLg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=lU9gGv89y6c:S_xarXvEYLg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=lU9gGv89y6c:S_xarXvEYLg:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=lU9gGv89y6c:S_xarXvEYLg:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=lU9gGv89y6c:S_xarXvEYLg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/lU9gGv89y6c" height="1" width="1"/> bicyclecyclingelectmaguramaguraelectsportsSportsEquipment Fri, 24 May 2013 23:43:00 -0400 21|20583266 http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/magura-elect-suspension-fork/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/RbTjN1AjbsE/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/lg-google-tv-korea-china-10k-sales-us/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/lg-google-tv-korea-china-10k-sales-us/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget#comments <p class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/lg-google-tv-korea-china-10k-sales-us/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img alt="LG will reportedly offer Google TVs in Korea, China soon, seeing 'good returns' in the US" data-src-height="401" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/lggoogletvandroid4.2.2jellybean1.jpg" /></a></p> <p>While Eric Schmidt's proclamation that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/07/googles-eric-schmidt-sees-google-tv-embedded-in-most-new-tvs-by/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">"most" new TVs would have Google TV embedded last year </a>didn't come true, LG stated today that it's bringing the platform to more regions soon.

Zhuowei Zhang has stepped in with a complete list of what's under the hood, and it turns out that some of those features work... more or less. After modding the latest Glass firmware, <em>Android Police</em> can confirm that there is a functional Chrome browser lurking inside; Google just hasn't woven it into the user experience. Other Labs features produce similarly mixed results. OK Glass Everywhere lets users easily start a voice command chain from anywhere in the interface, but a video stabilization mode clearly isn't ready for prime time. Although you'll want to visit the source links for the full rundown, it's evident from just a cursory glimpse that Glass has plenty of room to grow.</p> <p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/wearables/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Wearables</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/google/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Google</a></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/google-glass-delve-shows-hidden-features/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget#comments">Comments</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Via:</strong> <a href="http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/24/google-glasss-hidden-labs-features-ok-glass-everywhere-web-browsing-video-stabilization-and-more-video/" target="_blank">Android Police</a><!--//--></p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="https://gist.github.com/zhuowei/5624527" target="_blank">GitHub</a><!--//--></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=bvydCcIV0ks:cQJdERRpVkg:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=bvydCcIV0ks:cQJdERRpVkg:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=bvydCcIV0ks:cQJdERRpVkg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=bvydCcIV0ks:cQJdERRpVkg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=bvydCcIV0ks:cQJdERRpVkg:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=bvydCcIV0ks:cQJdERRpVkg:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=bvydCcIV0ks:cQJdERRpVkg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/bvydCcIV0ks" height="1" width="1"/> androidchromeglassglasslabsgooglegoogleglassrootvideowearable Fri, 24 May 2013 17:31:00 -0400 21|20583409 http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/google-glass-delve-shows-hidden-features/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/HiS4VUTCZFE/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/automatic-delay-connected-car-platform-iphone-app/ http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/automatic-delay-connected-car-platform-iphone-app/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget#comments <p class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/automatic-delay-connected-car-platform-iphone-app/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img alt="Automatic delays connected car platform until August as it seeks to perfect iPhone app" data-src-height="484" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/automatic-road.jpg" /></a></p> <p>It's an age-old problem: do we clamor for a company to ship a product that's not ready, or do we swallow delays with grace as it aims to deliver when things are good and ready? Such a choice has to be made when it comes to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/12/automatic-link-iphone-driving-assistant-video/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Automatic</a>, the California-based startup which had originally hoped to start shipping its automotive dongle + app platform at the end of this month. Those (including yours truly) who pre-ordered on day one received an email last night delivering the news that things were running a bit behind schedule. The hardware itself is actually already being manufactured, but stellar components are only a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/automatic-link-hands-on-test-drive/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">piece of the total puzzle</a>. The software -- an iPhone app, in this instance -- still needs more time in the proverbial oven, and now we're being told that packages won't ship until "the end of August."</p> <p>A three-month hiccup is nothing to scoff at, and Automatic seemingly knows it. In order to sate those who were hoping to use the $70 product during their upcoming summer road trips, the company is giving early pre-orderers the option to beta test the app as it stands today. For those who agree, they'll receive their hardware in mid-June, but they'll be forced to use it with a version of the app that "lacks a few features like Crash Alert and support for multiple cars and users." We'll be keeping a close eye as the situation develops, and will definitely endeavor to pass along a review just as soon as we're able. If you're curious, we've embedded the email in full just after the break.</p> <p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/transportation/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget" rel="tag">Transportation</a></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/automatic-delay-connected-car-platform-iphone-app/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget#comments">Comments</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.automatic.com/">Automatic</a><!--//--></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=HiS4VUTCZFE:YY1OGYFSKo4:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=HiS4VUTCZFE:YY1OGYFSKo4:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=HiS4VUTCZFE:YY1OGYFSKo4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=HiS4VUTCZFE:YY1OGYFSKo4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=HiS4VUTCZFE:YY1OGYFSKo4:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?i=HiS4VUTCZFE:YY1OGYFSKo4:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?a=HiS4VUTCZFE:YY1OGYFSKo4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/engadget?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/HiS4VUTCZFE" height="1" width="1"/> appappleautomaticAutomatic LinkAutomaticLinkdelaydelayeddrivingiphoneOBDOBD IIObdIipre orderpre-orderPreOrdersmartphonevideo Fri, 24 May 2013 17:03:00 -0400 21|20583384 http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/24/automatic-delay-connected-car-platform-iphone-app/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget
