Google Earth helps sheriff's department find stolen car (video)

Google Earth helps sheriff's department find stolen car (video)

A stolen-vehicle case opened back in March was recently solved with the help of a property owner using Google Earth, a virtual globe and mapping service similar to Google Maps, ABC News reports. The man, who remains anonymous, found the stolen GMC Yukon while he was surveying his property in George County, Mississippi, using the map service and, judging by the top-down satellite image, thought he found a "shooting house" on his hunting grounds. When he drove out to the suspicious structure, he realized it actually was a sport utility vehicle wedged in thick brush about 70 yards from the nearest road, so he called the police.

Sony Not Concerned By Xbox One's 7-day Head Start In Europe

Sony Not Concerned By Xbox One's 7-day Head Start In Europe

As gamers are probably acutely aware by now, the Xbox One is expected to see a release on the 22nd of November. The PlayStation 4, on the other hand, will see a release on the 29th of November in Europe, but a 15th of November release in North America. Essentially what this means is that over n Europe, the Xbox One will have a 7 day head start. This might seem like a big deal to some, but to Sony they don't appear to be too concerned about that fact.

Surface Mini Allegedly Delayed Until Spring 2014

Surface Mini Allegedly Delayed Until Spring 2014

There's been a lot of talk these days about a Surface Mini tablet from Microsoft. The company recently unveiled its next generation Surface tablets but did not mention a toned down version at all, so at this point in time it can't be said for sure if Redmond really does intend to releasing a “mini” variant of its tablet. The latest rumor suggests that the tablet has been delayed until Spring 2014 as it will come with a Windows 8.1 update, called “Spring 2014 GDR,” pre-installed.

BMW M3 and M4 will rock 430 hp from twin-turbo six with standard manual (video)

BMW M3 and M4 will rock 430 hp from twin-turbo six with standard manual (video)

We're not sure which spec we're most intrigued by for the new BMW M3 and M4: the twin-turbo six-cylinder with 430 horsepower and "far beyond" 369 pound-feet of torque, the 3,300-pound curb weight or the standard six-speed manual transmission with automatic throttle blipping on downshifts. That engine is fitted with both Valvetronic and Double-Vanos, twin-wire arc-spray coating in the cylinders instead of liners to save weight, a track-ready cooling system with additional radiators, a forged crankshaft, dry-sump lubrication and a magnesium oil sump. BMW says its "high revving concept" has a redline beyond 7,500 rpm.

RealNetworks Launches RealPlayer Cloud

RealNetworks Launches RealPlayer Cloud

Remember how popular RealNetworks was with its RealPlayer media player back in the late 90s and early 2000s. It seems there were a high number of videos online that were transcoded into the RealPlayer format, making it nearly impossible to not have a version of the media player on your computer during its peak in popularity. It looks like RealNetworks is attempting to rather big comeback with a new piece of video software as well as storage solutions that will make it possible for its customers to share videos across different devices.

The slate, like its predecessor, comes in 7- and 8.9-inch configurations - this time out sporting much higher resolutions, at 323 ppi (1,920 x 1,200) and 339 ppi (2,560 x 1,600), respectively. Compare that to 221 and 254 ppi for their predecessors and 264 ppi on the iPad 3; quite brilliant in conference room lighting. For by-the-pool readers, there's also a dynamic image contrast feature, which one exec pulled out a flashlight to demo. The feature works by shifting the display's contrast, rather than brightness, to compensate for external changes in lighting.

Hyundai, Mazda and Ford offering support to victims of Colorado flooding

Hyundai, Mazda and Ford have initiated programs to aid victims of the recent floods across Colorado. Hyundai is stepping in to give help directly to drivers, offering those with flood-damaged vehicles a $750 credit on a new Hyundai. "At this stressful time, the last thing flood victims should be concerned with is how they are going to replace their water-damaged or destroyed vehicles," Dave Zuchowski, executive vice president of Hyundai's American sales, said. The Hyundai program will run from September 18 through the end of October, and will cover all citizens in counties declared disaster areas by FEMA.

Jeep idles second shift it hired a month ago for 2014 Cherokee

In an unusual move, Chrysler is idling its recently hired second shift of 2014 Jeep Cherokee builders because, Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement, it already has built the "critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released," Automotive News reports. After the "critical" 9,430 Cherokees were built, the layoff was enacted so as not to strain the automaker's logistics partners before the Cherokee is actually released.

Android phones come and go, but only one phone has survived for almost 4 years. Funny thing is, it wasn't even designed to run Android (was meant to be a Windows Mobile device), yet it is one of the most supported devices of all times. It keeps getting the latest ROMs, sometimes before flagship smartphones. Yes, we are talking about the legendary HTC HD2 .
If you still have your hands on one, congrats… and you can now test Sense 5 on it! A new ROM brings a Sense 5 port to the HD2, courtesy of senior XDA developer gilbert32. It's important to note that this ROM is nowhere close to being finished.

Apple's Touch ID Sensor Can Register Nipples And Toes As Well

Apple's Touch ID sensor for the iPhone 5s was designed to be used with fingerprints, but it seems that it can also be used with other body parts as the folks at Japanese website, Rocket News, have found out when they attempted to lock and unlock the iPhone 5s using  their nipples. One person locked and registered his nipple with the Touch ID, and successfully managed to unlock it by putting it against his chest. When another person attempted something similar with his phone, it did not work, proving that nipples can be one way to lock your iPhone 5s if fingerprints are a little too obvious.

Unfortunately for the rest of the world, this joint venture looks set to be limited within the shores of China itself.

Android 4.4′s more more neutral theme is making another appearance, this time in Google's Play Store listing for their official Korean keyboard app (it's since been removed).

Here we are with DukePad, touted to be a rather interesting invention in the form of a Raspberry Pi-powered tablet.

It is expected to be the successor to the LG Vu 2, and sure enough the Korean company has announced the handset, corroborating the rumors that the device could be announced this month. Interestingly enough LG has decided to stick to the 4:3 aspect ratio which gives the handset a boxy kind of look, versus a more rectangular feel compared to devices like the LG G2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but we guess there must be a reason behind it.

Now the question we're sure many are wondering when will the device be announced. According to a previous rumor, the handset could be due for a 14th of October announcement (which if true would make it a day before Apple allegedly unveils their new iPads), and now a report from DigiTimes has "confirmed" the October timeframe as well.

It has been a long story with BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). The messaging service has been rumored and expected to come to Android for a very long time. BBM's expansion to other mobile operating systems became official about 4 months ago, though, and the wait is almost over. BlackBerry has just announced the app will be available for Android (and iOS) this weekend! Android will be getting some BBM love starting Saturday, Sept. 21st at 7 AM EDT, a day before iOS gets to access the legendary messaging service.

What is BBM?

Many knew BBM since its very beginnings, but BlackBerry has been going downhill for a while.
