Twitter has moved far beyond just being a network you use to tweet about your lunch, and along with the many useful services it’s a platform for, it can also be a tool for terrorism and violence. At least that’s how seven House Republicans see it, and that’s why they’re asking the FBI to shut down Hamas-related Twitter accounts. More »
Custom ROM fans were briefly teased with the prospect of Verizon loosening its anti-modding stance when the HTC Droid DNA first arrived: in the pre-release days, the official HTCDev portal allowed unlocking the DNA’s bootloader. While the carrier unfortunately clamped down and denied the option by the time the giant smartphone was in stores, that hasn’t stopped Android Police and Sean Beaupre from keeping the dream alive through very unofficial means. A special backup file, a carrier ID generator app, a shell script and judicious use of ADB tweak the carrier information to trick HTCDev and let the unlock work once again. To call this a risky procedure would be an understatement, however — venturing past a certain point raises the real possibility of bricking the device, and HTC’s bootloader tool already puts limits on post-unlock support even when it’s blessed by carriers. Should the urge to liberate the Droid DNA overwhelm a sense of caution (or a wait for the Deluxe), you’ll find both the hack and unofficial help through the source links.

These are awesome action figures of the player’s avatar in Minecraft. If you play the game then these are also action figures of yourself. Although you can’t customize Steve’s skin, he – or she – does have a ball-jointed head and poseable arms.
Steve comes in two variants, both 6″ tall. The simpler version comes with Steve in his default clothes, along with his trust pickaxe and a 2″ dirt block. Then there’s the more experienced and battle ready Steve, who’s wearing diamond armor along with removable diamond sword and diamond helmet.
You can buy both Steves from J!NX for just $30 (USD) each. The store also sells the Creeper action figure seen in a couple of shots in the gallery above.

Get ready for a lot of drama on “Revenge.”
As Nick Wechsler, aka Jack Porter, told HuffPost TV last week, the Amanda does get shipwrecked, as the season 2 premiere revealed — and someone goes down with the beloved boat. But, much like the first season with Daniel’s (Josh Bowman) beach shooting, creator Mike Kelley likes to keep the fans and cast guessing.
“That’s the thing: We don’t know who this is on the boat,” Wechsler told us.
