And then there were three. What you see above is the Moto X along with its SIM tray and a matching nano-SIM. According to GSM Insider, this picture (which we’ve enhanced) recently popped up in Hong Kong. We’ve checked the left side of Motorola’s upcoming flagship in other leaked images, and the dimensions of the SIM tray opening appear to be correct. A such, the Moto X is poised to follow the iPhone 5 and PadFone Infinity as the third-ever handset to adopt the nano-SIM (4FF) standard. It’s unclear why the company chose the new SIM form factor (the phone isn’t particularly small), but we’ll be sure to ask at Thursday’s launch event.

Posted in: Today's ChiliThere’s a new boss in town on “Covert Affairs.” After finding some incriminating photos of Senator Pierson during an investigation at Henry Wilcox’s apartment, Joan saw an opportunity. She used the evidence she’d gathered to basically blackmail her way into becoming the new chief.
“Can I just say that it’s such an honor to be working for the first woman to be DCS. I feel like I’m part of CIA history,” her secretary told her, bringing in a bottle of wine.
“And I suppose we are,” Joan agreed.

If window shopping through Google Catalogs is your go-to lunch break pastime, you might want to sit down. Mountain View has proclaimed that the service’s Android and iOS apps will no longer be supported when August 15th rolls around. Not all is lost, however, as the search giant will keep the digital product tomes alive online. Although Google Catalogs is meeting its end much like Google Reader did, something tells us we won’t see replacements for this particular platform cropping up left and right.

MacBook Air gets gaming credentials through home-built external GPU (video)
Posted in: Today's Chili
The MacBook Air’s integrated graphics all but rule it out as a serious gaming machine. However, Larry Gadea at the Tech Inferno forums has found a way to make the Air a powerhouse through an ad hoc external GPU. His design mates a PCI Express video card to the Mac’s Thunderbolt port through a combination of two adapters, a Boot Camp installation of Windows 7 and third-party software. The performance improvement is appropriately dramatic, leading to frame rates up to seven times faster than what Intel’s HD 5000 can manage. Just don’t expect to buy a pre-assembled version anytime soon — the peripheral needs a desktop-class power supply just to run, and Intel won’t issue the licenses needed to commercialize Thunderbolt GPUs. If you’re absolutely determined to get a Crysis-worthy ultraportable, though, you’ll find Gadea’s instructions at the source link.
