T-Mobile HTC One S Android 4.1.1 update now available

T-Mobile HTC One S Android 4.1.1 update now available

The Android 4.1.1 update for the HTC One S is finally being pushed out by T-Mobile. We're not sure if it's a coincidence that the update has been released 24 hours after T-Mobile's HTC One retail launch, but it does look a little suspicious. If you have not received a notification on your HTC One S to download the Jelly Bean update, you can manually ping T-Mobile's update servers by going to Settings > About > Software updates > Check now.
With HTC One S Android 4.1.1 update weighs in at 675.49 MB. Due to the size of the update, T-Mobile has made the decision that the update can only be downloaded over Wi-Fi.

Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock Now Available For $299

We caught a glimpse of the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock at CES 2012, and since then, the company has run the product through a redesign to make it appear a lot slimmer while also adding USB 3.0 ports to it. After much waiting, it looks like Belkin is finally ready to set its Thunderbolt Express Dock into the world as it's now available to purchase. As you probably already know, the Thunderbolt Express Dock comes with dual Thunderbolt ports with support of up to five Thunderbolt-supported devices, FireWire 800, Ethernet, a 3.5mm audio input and output and three USB 3.0 ports.

Rockstar Giving Fans A Chance To Be Part Of GTA 5

Rockstar Giving Fans A Chance To Be Part Of GTA 5

We know that Rockstar has officially announced GTA 5, and if you've ever wanted to be part of a video game, the developer is giving gamers the opportunity to have their likeness incorporated into the upcoming game. Rockstar has recently announced their Epsilonism website where gamers will be able to enter their details as well as upload a photo of themselves to be given the chance to be in the running to be part of GTA 5. Unfortunately only 5 people out of everyone will be chosen to be put into the game, meaning that considering the huge fan base that the GTA franchise has, your chances of getting picked could be very slim.

Piquet Jr. spins Scott, post-race altercation leads to kick in the jewels, arrests (video)

Piquet Jr. spins Scott, post-race altercation leads to kick in the jewels, arrests (video)

It seems as if NASCAR drivers are hellbent on blurring the line between their sport and pro wrestling. Nelson Piquet Jr. and Brian Scott got into a little scuffle after a Nationwide Series race at Richmond International Raceway recently. The two drivers have had a running rivalry for some time now, and when Piquet spun Scott in a bid for 15th place, Scott stopped by Piquet's car post-race. Some shoving ensued, and Piquet decided to kick for Scott's groin in an attempt to put an end to the argument.

Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo Achieves 1st Rocket-Powered Flight

Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo Achieves 1st Rocket-Powered Flight

Virgin Galactic has certainly come a long way since it announced its intention to the world a few years ago, where even Sir Richard Branson himself would fly into space to conduct a wedding ceremony for a couple who would want a truly unique wedding, and here we are in 2013 with the SpaceShipTwo that has managed to achieve its first rocket-powered flight, dripped in success, of course. The test flight that happened on April 12, 2013 proved to be a key milestone in advancing the SpaceShipTwo's first rocket powered flight, having arrived at supersonic speeds to ensure a smooth journey toward commercial flights sometime down the road.

Google Now for iOS hands-on

Google Now for iOS hands-on

While there are few data sources missing, in our brief time with the app, we didn't discover any that we'd consider dealbreakers. (Honestly, the nearby events card has never actually resulted in us running out to buy tickets to something.) Where Google Now for iOS falls short, though, is in its convenience. On Android, Now is just a swipe or a long-press away; on an iOS device, you need to first launch the Google search app, then swipe up from where your cards are peeking out at the bottom of the screen. You also can't simply say "Google" to launch a voice search from within Now. Worst of all, there are no alerts or notifications.

Paranoid Android shows off their implementation of mutli-windows

Paranoid Android shows off their implementation of mutli-windows

Over the past few months, I have fallen head over heels in love with Paranoid Android. While I certainly hold the work of each ROM developer in very, very high regard (let's face it, Android would be a very frustrating platform without them) I love the creativity and functionality that PA adds. Their latest goody. Multi-window support for apps. The team behind Paranoid Android have shared a post giving some early details regarding their implementation on Google+, along with a video demoing it.
