CAIRO — CAIRO (AP) — The panel tasked with amending Egypt’s suspended constitution is voting on a first draft of the charter amid deep divisions over portions on the effect Islamic law has on legislation and the powers of the military.
Panel spokesman Mohammed Salmawy told reporters Sunday that only three articles passed by consent by midday. The panel is amending a total of 189 of the constitution’s more than 230 articles.
Earlier this week Apple announced the iPad Air, its brand new tablet that’s thinner and lighter than all of its predecessors. Apple will begin selling the new tablet on November 1st online and through its retail stores in select locations around the world. This time around, T-Mobile is also offering the new iPad with cellular support and it appears that that’s just one part of Apple’s broader roll out on cellular network. U.S. Cellular and a number of other regional carriers have announced that they’ll all be selling the iPad Air.
Out of the bunch, U.S. Cellular is actually the only one that has confirmed that it will also be selling the new iPad mini with Retina display. Though it is not known when that will happen, seeing as how even Apple hasn’t provided a concrete release date for the Retina display touting iPad mini as yet. The iPad Air will be available from U.S. Cellular come November 8th. Regional carriers such as C Spire and Bluegrass Cellular both say that they’ll begin selling the tablet in the coming weeks. While regional carriers aren’t big enough to contribute a significant bump in Apple’s balance sheets, its a good move on the company’s part to ensure that they have as many carriers onboard as they can, both regional and national.

A man was arrested and charged with two counts of battery after allegedly physically assaulting two Hebrew-speaking men he believed were speaking Spanish. The man will be subject to hate crime penalties.
According to a police incident report on the early Saturday morning altercation, Dylan T. Grall, a 23-year-old from Janesville, passed the two victims on the street and confronted the men when he heard them speaking Hebrew:
He swore at the men and demanded they speak English. This led to a confrontation where the victims were both struck in the face. One fell to the ground. The other had an eye that was nearly swollen shut.
Before the invention of timepieces, our ancestors aligned their schedules with the rising and setting of the Sun. Mammoth hunting when the Sun goes up, then chill at Hairy Guy 34′s cave when the Sun goes down. Designer Jon Liow’s concept clock will let you partake in this ancient tradition of guesstimating with the Solar Light.
The Solar Light isn’t solar-powered. It gets its name from its function, which is to mimic the amount of sunlight in a particular timezone. By default, if it’s noon in your chosen timezone, the Solar Light will shine brightly, while its LEDs will probably be completely off at midnight. You’ll be able to select a timezone from a mobile app. You can also invert the light’s function (it’ll be brighter at night, darker during the day) and even turn it to a normal lamp from the app.
I think I’d love to have a Solar Light. It’s a nice way to imagine what your loved ones are doing if they’re abroad. It would be more useful though if it could also show you what the weather is like in that area.
Back in September, Samsung unveiled its much rumored smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear. Up till now the device has only been compatible with two Samsung products, both of which were announced alongside it. The Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 2014 currently support Galaxy Gear, but Samsung is going to add support to S3, S4, S4 Active and Note 2 through a software update that rolls out in the near future. Apparently customer returns of the Galaxy Gear particularly at Best Buy are climbing, trending above 30 percent.
A memo, apparently meant for Samsung employees working at the Samsung Experience Stores within Best Buy retail locations, has leaked which reveals the over 30 percent return rate of the Galaxy Gear. Apparently the memo asks employees to weigh in their opinions as to why the return rates are so high. Does this mean that despite the initial reviews, the device isn’t doing as well with the customers as Samsung would have hoped? The company has marketed it as a companion to its high-end smartphones and tablet, and it is already rumored to be working on a Galaxy Gear successor. Is the smartwatch bubble bursting already or does Samsung really need to improve upon its existing wearable gadget? Time will tell.

The Android 4.3 update is slowly making its way around the world, it is being rolled out in different regions by different carriers, as per their own schedules. Its no different in the U.S., carrier branded devices usually receive the update a little late. If you own a Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 and have been wondering when the update is going to be rolled out by your carrier, this leaked document just might provide the answer.
The leaked document, originally received by Droid-life, lists the Android 4.3 update release date for these devices on Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. It goes without saying that one can’t entirely be sure about these dates until the carriers make an announcement, they’ve yet to say when the update for these devices is going to be rolled out. As per the document, Galaxy S4 owners on Verizon should receive Android 4.3 on October 28th, which is tomorrow. AT&T and T-Mobile subscribers might have to wait until 13th and 18th of November respectively. The Galaxy S4 Active is exclusive to AT&T and is likely to receive the Android 4.3 update on December 24th. There’s no harm in marking your calendars, but keep in mind that there’s always the possibility of changes being made to the release schedule at the last minute.

There’s been a lot of speculation about Google’s next generation Nexus smartphone. We’ve seen leaked images, renders and even heard about the specifications it is supposed to tout. What we don’t know up till now is when the internet search giant is formally going to unveil it. If a new rumor is to be believed, the smartphone just might be made official on November 1st. Moments ago, @evleaks tweeted a press render of the white Nexus 5 with “11/1,” which may possibly be an indicator of the announcement date.
Both Google and LG have not made any official announcement as yet regarding this smartphone, so it is still best to digest rumors with a grain of salt. Just earlier this week we picked up on a rumor which claimed that the announcement is going to be made on October 31st. It was also rumored that the smartphone will become available a week later in Canada. Google is obviously going to sell the device through the Play Store, and we’ve already seen an image of the device being pulled off the Store. There doesn’t seem to be any confusion about the design of the Nexus 5 anymore, or its existence for that matter. It is now just a matter of waiting on Google to make an announcement, hopefully it’ll do that on November 1st and we’ll not have to deal with the rumors anymore.
