U.S. Carrier Branded HTC One Will Receive Android 4.3 Update Slightly Late

U.S. Carrier Branded HTC One Will Receive Android 4.3 Update Slightly Late

It goes without saying that a lot of HTC One users are waiting for the Android 4.3 update. The update has already begun rolling out across different regions for users who have developer edition or unbranded units, in time to meet HTC’s self-imposed deadline of rolling out the update before the end of September. However, those who possess U.S. carrier branded HTC One will have to wait for a bit longer, says HTC executive Jason Mackenzie.

A few weeks ago HTC said that it was working hard to roll out Android 4.3 as well as a HTC Sense update to users, it said that the roll out would be completed by the end of September. The month has nearly ended yet there’s no sign of the update for customers with carrier branded units. Mackenzie confirmed via Twitter that the update has already started rolling out for unlocked/unbranded units, adding that carrier models will “slightly miss” the September deadline. He assures everything that they’ll be kept updated on the process. Mackenzie mentions that U.S. carriers are all “very supportive,” but doesn’t say exactly how long will it take for the Android 4.3 update to hit customers. One can only hope that it doesn’t end up taking a lot of time.

    Palo Alto to require wiring for fast EV chargers in new homes

    Palo Alto to require wiring for EV fast chargers in new homes

    Palo Alto is an ideal place for electric vehicles when it’s full of wealthy, tech-savvy executives. It only makes sense, then, that the city council has voted in favor of a proposal requiring that new homes include wiring for speedy Level 2 EV chargers. The mandate should add less than $200 to a home’s price, and could represent a bargain for future residents — they’d have to pay four times more for a retrofit, Mayor Greg Scharff says. Established locals may also catch a break, as the council wants to simplify the process of getting an EV charger permit. The moves aren’t very bold — many in the area could buy a Model S with spare change — but they may start a trend that spreads to less affluent regions.

    ChallengeDyson publicly puts Dyson engineers to the test

    Teched-out vacuum cleaner salesmen Dyson have begun displaying their engineers’ willingness to take on extra-curricular engineering projects in a video entitled “Challenge Dyson 2013: Airborne.” The challenge was to “design a machine that can fly, navigate the course, and try not to burst the balloons” using nothing but spare Dyson parts. The results were varied: […]

    Star Wars Battling Fighters Slot Car Set Lets You Relive the Death Star Trench Scene

    At last, a toy that lets a TIE Fighter chase an X-Wing, just like during the big Death Star battle scene in A New Hope! A Trench run that is never-ending, thanks to its figure-eight slot car track. The Star Wars Battling Fighters Set is a slot car set where the “cars” are space ships that we all know and love.

    star wars slot cars 1 620x530magnify

    One player pilots Luke Skywalker’s “Red Five” X-Wing, while Vader’s TIE fighter gives chase. Apparently this set takes some skill to play with because the ships are slightly wider than the track. Therefore it should be challenging for either player.

    The ships have LEDs that light up when racing too. And like any good kids toy, the 12-foot figure-eight track has glow-in the-dark striping for nighttime play. It will cost you $99.95 over at Hammacher Schlemmer. Completely worth it as far as I’m concerned.

    Rearview Bike Camera makes riding safer on the roads

    rearview-bike-cameraThere is a reason why we call it an “accident” – you simply do not plan for it, and neither do you go sniffing out for one. When it comes to an activity like cycling, apart from following all of the road rules to the letter and wearing the relevant safety gear, there is still the inherent risk of some driver who failed to notice you and ploughs into your lane, giving you a near heart attack at the same time. Hence, it is important to have eyes even at your back – and this is where the $199.99 Rearview Bike Camera comes in handy.

    The next time you are about to head out for a ride, do not forget to go along with the Rearview Bike Camera so that it offers you an increased awareness of your surroundings. The rear-facing camera and LCD viewing display will give you the ability to monitor approaching vehicles constantly without having to take the risk of losing your balance simply because you have to turn your head to the back. Not only that, the Rearview Bike Camera will also increase your visibility on the road to other motorists thanks to 10 flashing red LEDs which will turn themselves on in low light conditions automatically. A full charge would be able to deliver approximately 10 hours of operation time for this weather-resistant system.

    Sprint To ‘Wait And See’ If It Will Drop BlackBerry Devices From Stores

    Sprint To Wait And See If It Will Drop BlackBerry Devices From Stores

    A few days back T-Mobile announced that it will no longer be offering BlackBerry devices in its retail stores. Apart from keeping only one unit in a store for demonstration purposes, T-Mobile will only sell BlackBerry devices online to its customers. The move came amid uncertain times for BlackBerry, which is nearing a $4.7 billion acquisition and possibly losing its manufacturing partner. Sprint chief financial officer Joe Euteneur has said that the carrier will “wait and see” before it makes any decision regarding dropping BB devices from its retail stores.

    Verizon, the largest network in the country, doesn’t seem to be following T-Mobile’s strategy as well. Its CEO, Lowell McAdam, said recently that the carrier’s decision about BlackBerry would depend on the wishes of its customers. It warrants mentioning here that the Big Red is one of the first carriers in the U.S. that is expected offer BlackBerry’s new Z30 smartphone. Times have been tough for BlackBerry. It recently announced a nearly $1 billion operating loss for its second fiscal quarter, much of it was accounted for by unsold Z10 inventory. The company’s new BB10 devices were supposed to turn things around, but they haven’t been able to bring back a fraction of the market share this Canadian company once commanded.
