What kind of sorcery is this? How is this egg standing whole without its shell? Apparently, the inner membrane—the thin layer that you can see stuck to the hard shell when you boil an egg—is strong enough to hold it without breaking its shape. But how can you do this? More »

A ride with a phone built-in is certainly a set of wheels that target the executive class of working folk, this we do not deny, and with modern day smartphones being far more powerful than ever before, perhaps some of us out there might think that the Voyager phone from Accel Telecom could be a step back to the age of dinosaurs. After all, the Voyager is an Android-powered smartphone that sports car-centric functions which will hope that it remains within the vehicle at all times.
For starters, the Voyager will come with a dedicated Waze launcher key so that it can perform its GPS navigation duties, in addition to having high level noise reduction and echo cancellation, which works just great with hands-free voice activation to let you concentrate on the road even better, despite having to entertain someone else on the other line. Not only that, the Voyager will feature a 3G-WiFi hotspot, a “driver-centric” design with large physical keys, multiple car-focused apps and audio quality that should keep your ears happy. There is no word on pricing just yet, but expect to see the Voyager launched across the pond as well as Stateside in due time. [Press Release]

Square Enix has just shown off a preview of their new HD remake of Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X was the first game in the series to come to the PlayStation 2 and it won the hearts of many avid fans. Now to everyone’s excitement, the game will be remastered, and brought to the portable Playstation Vita. The preview doesn’t show off much, except for the main characters, Tidus and Yuna, standing alongside Bahamut and Yojimbo. While their changes seem a bit subtle, you can notice that their colors are more vibrant, and their character’s textures are much more smooth.
For those of you with a PS Vita, you can now take a trip down memory lane as you progress through the world of Final Fantasy X again. You can help Tidus find his way back to Zanarkand, you can help Yuna collect her army of Aeons, and you can help the group destroy Sin in order to bring peace to all of Spira. All of this while seeing how Square Enix has changed the game while maintaining all of the important aspects.
The remake of Final Fantasy X HD was announced around 2 years ago, and now we’re finally seeing it come to light. For those of you who don’t own a PlayStation Vita, I would suggest holding off on buying one because it seems that there are some price-cuts going around. Japan has just cut the price of its PlayStation Vita systems to only 19,980 yen, or $212. Also, if you don’t feel like playing the game on a small 5-inch screen, the remake should also be heading on over to the PlayStation 3.
We’re still not sure when Final Fantasy X HD will be released, but we may hear more about it during the PlayStation meeting on Wednesday. What I would love to hear more about in the future is if there has been any progress made for the HD remake of Final Fantasy 7. I know that that’s something fans have been looking forward to.

If you want to be in the consumer electronics industry, it pays to remain on the cutting edge at all times. Having said that, you know for sure that LG is going to fight real hard to maintain its position at the top of the pack (or at least, fight for it) where the high end Android-powered smartphone market is concerned with the announcement of the LG Optimus G Pro that is already available in South Korea, and we also have reliable word that the LG Optimus G Pro will be making its way Stateside as well as in Canada in due time. This ought to throw a spanner in the works of the likes of Samsung with their upcoming Galaxy S4 plans for sure!
Just what kind of high powered hardware can we find packed underneath the hood of the LG Optimus G Pro? For starters, we do know that it will continue from where the LG Optimus G left off, where it is set to be a 4G LTE-equipped handset that sports the largest display size for smartphones from LG to date. We are talking about a 5.5” Full HD IPS display on the Optimus G Pro that was specially developed in partnership with LG Display, where it is capable of delivering 1920 x 1080 pixels at a whopping 400ppi.
Not only that, you will find that the 3,140mAh battery inside being able to offer your LG Optimus G Pro a whole lot of bang for your buck, letting you enjoy using the smartphone for hours on end without having to charge it up halfway through the day. Not only that, the 13-megapixel rear and 2.1-megapixel front cameras are not just there to record pretty videos, they can also be used to record High Definition videos simultaneously – something that is unheard of, although do expect to exhaust your storage space quickly in this manner.
Other key hardware specifications include a quad-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean in tow.

This week we’re getting extra pumped up for Mobile World Congress as the big events start at the end of it – it’s a 7 day count-down for some, but a 5 day count-down for your humble narrator! Before we get in to all that though, time marches on – with Destiny we’ve got a game that’s set to take place in a post-apocalyptic future with the Xbox 720, PlayStation 4, and PC set to take on the brunt of this next-generation beast. You’ll also want to see the very first-ever car backflip as made real by the Mini Countryman. Also remember that Russian meteorite? You can buy bits of it if you’re feeling like money is burning a hole in your pocket – and you’d rather that fire come from space.
The PlayStation 4 has been tipped to bring on a new Sony price slash strategy for the PlayStation 3. Might be time to get on-board with the previous generation! There’s an Obama Brain Activity Map project going on right now that you’ll be surprised isn’t actually mapping the brain of the President himself. The ISS astronaut Chris Hadfield has spoken this week about a variety of topics – fears, dangers, and advice included.
Network logs have tipped off a brand new Nokia Lumia 520 for the masses – without a doubt headed for Mobile World Congress 2013. A new interactive map of the world is showing Apple’s supply chains in detail. That same Russian meteor has been shown to blast some rather strange damage across the landscape. A new Systemic computer has been revealed with the ability to rebuild corrupted data while never, ever crashing.
A rather odd Accel Telecom smartphone has been revealed with in-car connectivity galore – Voyager Connected Car Smartphone it’s called, and you will… maybe want it? The LG Optimus G Pro will be coming to the USA in the second quarter of 2013 with a bit more of a traditional approach – giant displays and high power! Those of you on BlackBerry 7 or 7.1 will be sad to find that YouTube no longer works – the universe has left you behind!
