Bill Maher: Ted Cruz Reminds Me Of Miley Cyrus

Ted Cruz and Miley Cyrus have one key thing in common, at least according to Bill Maher.

“He reminds me of Miley Cyrus, Ted Cruz, because he is not afraid to incur the wrath of even some of his fans for the greater good of drawing attention to himself, Maher said on his HBO show Friday night.

“I really think that a filibuster is the political version of twerking,” Maher said. (Perhaps this is especially true if your filibuster includes a dramatic reading of Green Eggs And Ham and a mediocre Darth Vader impression).

HTC One Max Launch Rumored To Be On October 17th

Rumors about the new HTC phablet have been going around for quite some time now. In fact, it was initially believed that HTC might unveil the device at the IFA trade show in Berlin, but it didn’t do so. Hype surrounding the device has diminished a bit since then, it was aided by chatter that perhaps the new phablet might not come with the quadcore Snapdragon 800 processor as many had hoped. There’s no word as yet from HTC regarding the launch of One Max, but there have been a few rumors about its release date. The latest one suggests that the phablet may arrive on October 17th.

It is believed that HTC will make the One Max announcement on October 17th, the company itself hasn’t confirmed it as yet. As per the rumor, the phablet will come with a price tag of 23,900 NTD in Taiwan, which in U.S. dollar terms is around $810. Though this can’t be taken as a measure of what the One Max will cost in the U.S. Furthermore, it is not known right now exactly when this device will be released outside Taiwan, particularly in the North American and European markets. The One Max is expected to tout a 5.9 inch full 1080p HD display, a fingerprint sensor, 2GB RAM and 32GB of onboard storage.

    Nokia Asha 502 Leaked

    Nokia Asha 502 Leaked

    Nokia already has its Nokia World 2013 event scheduled to take place on October 22nd in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The Finnish manufacturer is expected to launch as many as six new devices at the event, though there hasn’t been any confirmation on this by Nokia just yet. Still, we’ve seen a number of devices being rumored over the past few weeks. All of these devices are expected to be unveiled at the event. Today, the Nokia Asha 502 has been leaked. It appears to be a low end device which will be available in a variety of colors.

    No further information about the Asha 502 is available at this point in time. It does look a lot similar to the Nokia Asha 500 which was leaked a few days back. Perhaps they’re different variants, one with dual SIM and the other with 3G? We can only speculate at this point in time. The Asha 502 appears to have a “dual shot” design, which basically means that the colorful polycarbonate shell is enclosed inside a clear shell. Pricing and availability details are not yet available. Only yesterday it was rumored that Nokia might also unveil a low end Lumia device that is going to be focused on music. Other devices rumored to be unveiled on October 22nd include Nokia’s new tablet and its hotly anticipated phablet. [Image via @evleaks]

    Steam Controller in use game developers sound off on the beta version's highs and lows, how it feels

    We’ve only known about the Steam Controller for 24 hours, but it turns out a variety of developers already got a chance to put the controller to use ahead of the lucky 300 beta participants later this year. The devs we spoke with didn’t use the final format of the controller, but the non-touchscreen beta form seen above: four large buttons stand out in place of the clickable touchscreen panel (planned for the final version of Steam Controller). It’s the version that will ship to those aforementioned 300 beta participants later this year, and it’s the version that Valve is showing game developers ahead of anyone else. Follow us beyond the break and find out what they had to say.%Gallery-slideshow99391%

    Hilary Duff Wears Leggings And A Floral Jacket Post Pilates Workout

    We don’t know about you, but when we wrap up a workout session, be it Pilates or otherwise, we look pretty sweaty and gross. Not Hilary Duff though. That girl can work up a sweat and still maintain that healthy, no effort glow.

    Duff was spotted in L.A., Calif., leaving the gym after a Pilates session and looked as beautiful as always wearing black leggings, a white top, flip flops and a floral jacket. Granted, she could’ve taken a shower afterwards to achieve this gorgeous look, but we’d much rather think life just come easily for this one.
