Motorola Defy | Petite Android Seeks Partner for Adventure

While other phones are going large, Motorola is taking things in a different direction: small and tough.

The new Motorola Defy is a compact Android phone that wisely eschews the gigantism of other smartphones. Instead of the HTC Evo’s 4.3-inch screen or the Dell Streak’s 5-incher (please!), the Defy, which is available now from T-Mobile in the United States, has a cute little 3.6-inch display with 480 x 854 pixels. It’s small and pocketable — shorter (but thicker) than an iPhone 4 and it’s light, weighing just 4 ounces.

Despite its diminutive size, the Defy goes big in one important area: its resistance to water and grit. The case is water-resistant and the screen is made of scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass, a hardened material found in a few other recent phones. If you’ve ever dropped your phone in the toilet, spilled a beer on it or pulled it out of your pocket along with half a pound of sand after a day at the beach, you’ll understand the appeal of these two features.

ihome Colortunes Dual Alarm Clock – iPod iPhone iPad

This is the only docking station that transforms an iPad, iPhone or iPod into a versatile bedside alarm clock. An app lets users wake to the music they prefer at snooze intervals from 1-29 minutes–played through the dock’s built-in speakers–while displaying weather reports, personal reminders, and overnight updates from Facebook and Twitter.

If the app isn’t running, the dock’s failover alarm ensures you’re still awakened on schedule. A digital signal processor and an equalizer produce exceptionally full, rich audio from your iPad or the dock’s FM radio with 10 pre-sets. The dock also functions as a wireless speakerphone when paired with a Bluetooth enabled cell phone and it holds and charges most iPhones and iPods.

Just In Time For The Holidays!

The once-Great British navy has put the aircraft carrier HMS Invincible up for sale on an eBay-like website. It’s a sad end for a proud 690-foot warship that sailed Her Majesty’s seas from 1980 to 2005, and took part in the Falklands, Balkans and Iraq campaigns.

Its crew of more than 1,000 piloted the ship’s two-dozen aircraft up to 7,000 nautical miles from home. It steamed at speeds topping out at 28 knots, thanks to its four Rolls-Royce turbine engines.

Mark Hamill Confirms Himself For Batman Arkham City

MARK HAMILL, the 59-year-old American actor and producer best known for his role as ‘Luke Skywalker’ in the original STAR WARS trilogy, has confirmed himself to provide the voice of ‘The Joker’ in the forthcoming ‘Batman’ video game ‘Arkham City’, reports Screenrant.com

Hamill has worked as a voice actor on a number of high-profile projects in recent years, including a cameo in ‘Futurama’, and he voiced ‘The Joker’ in the highly successful Batman game ‘Arkham Asylum’ in 2009. Speaking about his reasons for working on the game’s sequel, the 59-year-old admitted that he had originally planned to “go out on a high note” following the ‘Asylum’s’ massive success, but suggested that the “powers that be” in Hollywood did not take kindly to him wanting to walk away from the project.

What the length of your index finger says about you

The idea that the shape of your hands indicates something profound about your sexual proclivities, the films you like, your athletic ability and your prowess on the stock market seems bizarre.

And yet for many decades now, scientists have noticed an extraordinary link between the ratio of two digits on the hand — the ring and index fingers, known in scientists’ jargon as 2D and 4D — and a whole host of seemingly unrelated traits. Evidence is growing that this ‘digit ratio’, especially when applied to the right hand, is a fundamental indicator of sexuality, aggression and ­diseases suffered by men.
