Rumor Has It: Instagram video is so cool, we’re already over it

Instagram video is so cool, we’re already over it

It was a slow week in rumorland, but a couple stories managed to make their way onto the scene.

HTC’s long-rumored HTC One Mini is back, now with leaked pictures and specs. The miniature version of HTC’s flagship would be thinner, shorter, but still sporting that unibody aluminum design. And now it’ll fit into your pocket!

Samsung could also be hopping aboard the mini train, possibly announcing a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini at an event in London on Thursday. This version of the Galaxy will have a 4.3-inch screen, and will fit nicely into smaller hands.

Also on Thursday, Facebook is hosting a supersecret event, where it might unveil its answer to Twitter’s Vine: Instagram videos. What do you think? Is Facebook just being a copycat, or is it really onto something here? Leave a comment below and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for watching, and check out Rumor Has It’s new YouTube channel.

30 Years Ago, the Next Silicon Valley Could Have Been in Vermont

There’s Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area, Silicon Beach in Los Angeles, Silicon Alley in New York, Silicon Hills in Austin and lately tech boosters in New Orleans have been trying to get the name Silicon Bayou to stick. Everybody wants their region to be the next destination for science and technology-oriented companies to set up shop. But guessing (and promoting) the next big tech region is nothing new. After the rise of Silicon Valley in the late 1970s, it was really anybody’s guess.

Vevo music video app comes to Windows 8

Vevo comes to Windows 8 as part of a preBuild warmup

Although Vevo has a presence on seemingly every platform, it hasn’t done much of anything special on the desktop: so far, it’s been either the web or nothing. That’s changing — the company has just launched a native app for Windows 8 and RT devices. The software puts all of Vevo’s core music video features into a touch-friendly format, including Vevo TV, live concerts and playlists. While we suspect that many will still be content with the web interface, those who just have to watch Selena Gomez on a Surface can grab the Vevo app for free at the source link.

Watch How Much the Earth’s Vegetation Fades Away in a Single Year

Take away all of the water, cities, and roads on Earth’s surface, and you’re left with nothing but patches of lush, lovely green. These are exactly the kinds of pictures that the Suomi NPP satellite from NASA and the NOAA, produce. The satellite tracks only the planet’s vegetation, and the video above covers the shift in one full calendar year. It’s amazing how much change takes place in such a short period of time.

HTC Butterfly S: So close, yet so far (away)

HTC’s original J Butterfly was a phone of firsts for the company, most notably the 1080p display. It may not have been the only phone to feature Full HD resolution, but it pushed HTC back into the limelight and helped us forget devices like the Sensation XL, which got the big-display part right but then
