The White House, on its website, will be offering State Of The Union junkies the opportunity to watch an “enhanced” version of President Barack Obama’s speech tonight. What are the enhancements? First and foremost, charts and graphs and data. Lots of charts and graphs and data. Joe Scarborough is going to just hate it.

What else is the White House offering? Well, if the preview video it released is any guide, there will be lots of dubstep, to rock all you bros’ faces off:

“The Walking Dead” has some very devoted fans, but there are some things about the AMC series that even the most loyal viewers may not know.

How many on-screen walker deaths have there been? Which living character has the most kills? Which scene led to a visit from the SWAT team on set? Who kills more: humans or walkers?

LOS ANGELES — A person believed to be the fugitive ex-Los Angeles cop sought in three killings exchanged gunfire with authorities in the San Bernardino Mountains on Tuesday, a law enforcement official said on condition of anonymity.

The officer requested anonymity because the officer was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation.

The HTC Droid DNA released this past November, and we liked it for its ability to offer a full HD screen experience right in the palm of your hand. It did have a few issues, but Verizon is planning to roll out an update for the device that will hopefully help with its growing pains.

Verizon published a blog post earlier today where they promise to update the HTC Droid DNA that will have its users benefitting from both better connectivity of its hotspot, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections and additional functions. The 2.04.605.2 710RD update will also correct time stamps for incoming texts and feature an enhanced Recent Apps functionality as well as better audio quality for wired headsets.

The update should be available for HTC Droid DNA owners, which you can initiate the update process by going to Settings > Software Update > Status on your device. Hopefully there’s enough in the update to help you forget that you’re still running Android 4.1 while Android 4.2 is rolling out on other devices today.

One company that’s looking to break into the wireless speaker market for gamers is Divoom, who just announced today a new Bluetooth gaming speaker called the ONBEAT-X1. The speaker has specially-designed suction cups on the back that allow you to easily stick the speaker onto the back of a smartphone or tablet for better audio quality.

The new speaker features force feedback, which Divoom calls “Vibration Bass,” and it essentially reacts to gaming actions with shakes and vibrations for a more realistic experience when it comes to gameplay. The ONBEAT-X1 Bluetooth gaming speaker also provides 8 hours of music playback, thanks to the built-in lithium ion battery that’s rechargeable via microUSB.

The speaker works with all Bluetooth devices, including pretty much all smartphones and tablet, but if you don’t have a Bluetooth-enabled device, you can plug directly into the speaker using a traditional 3.5mm audio cable that comes included with the package. You’ll probably get better quality through the cable anyways, since Bluetooth tends to degrade audio quality just a tad.

As far as pricing and availability, the ONBEAT-X1 will be on sale starting later this month, and it will be available in either black or white. You’ll be able to pick one up for $39 once they become available. The speaker comes with suction cups to attach to your device, a microUSB cable for charging, and a 3.5mm audio cable for connecting to non-Bluetooth devices.
