Two Sony compact digital cameras, both of them of the high-end variety, have surfaced in a couple of leaked pre-announcement press shots: the RX100MII and the RX1R. Also leaked was what appears to be a truncated press release detailing the two cameras, something that has since been pulled from the original source but preserved for

Social media is very much about keeping up with what’s happening right now — but not everybody consumes live media simultaneously. What happens when you watch a time-shifted sporting event four hours late, but still want to see what your peers had to say in the heat of the moment? Twitter CEO Dick Costolo has an idea: social media DVR. Speaking at a moderated panel at at the Center for Technology Innovation, Costolo envisioned a system that would allow users to jump back in time and look at a snapshot of the social network at a specific moment.

“It would be nice to see things like a graphic of spikes in the conversation,” he said. “And be able to scroll back to that time and see what happened at that particular moment.” The CEO continued to suggest that such a feature could be designed around planned events, describing it as “Twitter in a DVR mode.” Although it was suggested that these features are in testing, Costolo stopped short of saying if they were actually something users could expect to see soon. Naturally, we reached out to the company for further comment, but haven’t heard back just yet. Still, it’s at least clear that the company hasn’t abandoned its television-based ambitions.

Several months after his “butt fumble” conquered the Internet, Mark Sanchez’s own backside is on display. Odds are, Sanchez will remember this latest incident more fondly, provided he can remember it.

In the video above, the New York Jets’ 26-year-old quarterback can be seen dropping his pants as he dances around with two women. One of those women, Alana Kari, began the circulation of dancing Sanchez footage on Tuesday by sharing a Vine on Twitter, purportedly of some fun in Napa. Described by Deadspin as “some kind of SoCal-based socialite,” Kari deleted the Vine after it began garnering widespread attention. According to NESN, Kari also tweeted pictures with Sanchez at a wine tasting, a fancy dinner and in a limo. Once that initial Vine was pulled, the brief video below (this one without a cameo from Sanchez’s bare butt) soon resurfaced on YouTube.

Less than 24 hours after an epic abortion bill filibuster propelled her into the national spotlight, Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis (D) went directly after Gov. Rick Perry (R) on national television.

Perry ordered the Texas State Legislature Wednesday to meet for another 30-day special session on a plan that would impose severe abortion restrictions, including the closure of nearly every clinic in the state. Part of Perry’s official statement cast Tuesday’s events as a “breakdown of decorum and decency to prevent us from doing what the people of this state hired us to do.”

In a Wednesday interview on MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes,” Davis was asked to respond to Perry’s “decorum” remark. She struck back at the governor and Lt. Gov David Dewhurst, panning them as the ones who “led the charge” on the decorum breakdown.

Instead of using your typical cartography methods of mapping the world, James Davenport created a world map using just airports, runways and helicopter pads. That way you can see which countries are dotted and outlined with airports (hint: it’s the rich ones) and which countries just disappear into the vapor (hint: it’s the poor ones).
