FORT BRAGG, N.C. — The Fort Bragg court martial of a U.S. Army general facing assault charges has been postponed.
The trial of Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair had been scheduled to begin next Monday. A statement from Fort Bragg on Tuesday said the judge overseeing the case rescheduled the trial for Jan. 7 after a request from Sinclair’s defense team.
BEIJING — Disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai has appealed his guilty verdict, a person close to the case said Tuesday, in a rare move that is consistent with his defiant stance but unlikely to change the outcome.
The person with direct knowledge of the case, but who did not wish to be identified, said the former Politburo member made the appeal orally upon the delivery of the verdict issued by the Jinan Intermediate People’s Court in eastern China on Sunday.
Eight days after their boat tossed them into the sea, Mike Russell lost all hope.
Anthony Douglas already had to save his friend several times. Clinging to the slippery fiberglass hull drained their strength. Neither man had slept. They had no water, just seaweed to suck on.
Russell told Douglas it was over.

It’s time to set the record straight: the original Xperia Z, launched back in February, was a decent phone. A solid phone. It was as if Sony had suddenly paused its chaotic schedule of handset releases in order to take stock of what Android users actually want: things like 1080p, microSD and a premium look and feel. And yet, the Xperia Z failed to be compelling. It wasn’t just its subpar battery life that held it back. It was also the lack of a standout feature, which caused the phone to be buried amidst all the news of the GS4 and the HTC One — and also by the announcement of the Lumia 1020 Windows Phone, whose camera suddenly made Sony’s pokey, 13-megapixel module look like old technology.
That’s why today, just seven months later, we’re looking at a new flagship: the Xperia Z1 (codenamed Honami, and not to be confused with the Xperia ZL), with a far more boast-worthy camera and some other subtle-but-important enhancements. Buyers of the Xperia Z may understandably be displeased at being left behind so soon, but — as much as we feel for them — we’d hazard a guess that they don’t constitute an especially large population anyway. In contrast, the Xperia Z1 should have much greater mainstream appeal. Read on to discover why.%Gallery-slideshow84026%

Attention Internet! Please ignore the above and carry on.

If you’ve heard somewhere on the Internet that iOS 7 makes your iPhone magically waterproof, please put your phone down and step away from the edge of the pool.
A fake Apple ad has been making the rounds on social media and (possibly) leading to the destruction of some iPhones by the more gullible among us.
The faux promo convincingly mimics the look and feel of an iPhone ad, but also makes the bold declaration that:
In an emergency, a smart-switch will shut off the phone’s power supply and corresponding components to prevent any damage to your iPhone’s delicate circuitry.
This is apparently possible because iOS 7 upgrades your iPhone to be able “to instantly detect sudden changes in thermodistribution.” Uh-huh.

Back in 2012, Apple unveiled their new iMac computers which featured a newer design that made the computer even thinner than before. Intel then announced their new processors which not only featured an improved integrated graphics card, but would be more energy efficient, and we’re sure there are some of you guys who have been holding back on getting the iMacs just to wait for the new Intel processors. Well the good news is that your wait is over as Apple has since announced refreshed iMa computers that will sport Intel’s latest fourth-generation quad-core processors, 802.11ac WiFi, and faster PCIe storage options.
For those who don’t need a monstrous 27” display, the basic 21.5” model will feature a 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 quad-core processor, while there are higher-end options for the 21.5” and 27” models that will sport Core i5 processors clocked as fast as 3.4GHz and come with NVIDIA GeForce 700 graphics in case you needed a little extra graphics processing power. As it stands the basic 21.5” model will be priced starting at $1,299, but expect the prices to go up with better hardware. The iMac models are now available for purchase via Apple’s website.
