If the iPhone was the catalyst for human evolution, it probably would have looked something like this 2001-inspired iPhone dock, which combines Lego, Apple and Stanley Kubrick in a single, glorious entity. Consider it your alpha and omega, [Reddit via Wired Design]

Sure the specs on the phone are amazing but it seems that there are antenna challenges that just about kill any positive comments about the new phone. As an owner of an HTC EVO 4G (the original) I can tell you that I have never really been able to take advantage of its WIMAX 4G service. I went with Sprint because of the plan they offered… at the time it worked great for my needs. I do not believe that my needs have changed yet I feel like the service I am getting has, or more to the point my coverage has gotten worse.

When I first heard about the new EVO I actually got excited but as the reviews begin to circulate I think it’s time to explore my options. Do I get a different phone that will play nice on the 3G only or do I look at moving my service to someone like AT&T?

How about anyone into the early 20th century Arts & Crafts movement in architecture? If you are, then you likely know about Ward Wellington Ward and his contributions to the Arts & Crafts movement in Central New York. These photos are of the Ziegler House in Syracuse built in 1915. Along with other Ward Wellington Ward-designed homes, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Some unique features of the home include a garage which included a turntable so that vehicles would not have to be backed out of the driveway and a Mercer tile fireplace in the living room. As of the 1997 listing, the kitchen was one of very few original kitchens in a Ward-designed home. Sadly, the house sits vacant and is starting to show signs of decay.

Today, Sony revealed that PS Vita in particular would be getting a firmware update, one which will be “released soon.”

Update 1.65 has four minor updates. A new “Notification Alert” option can be found in the Vita’s settings menu, allowing you to turn on and off alerts as you see fit. Power Save settings will get an “After 10 Minutes” option. LiveArea will be updated with a new “arrow icon” that will point out new activities. And the PS Vita’s keyboard will now support a caps lock option.

Nothing exciting, we know… but we figured you should be informed, anyway. Now go play!

… or is it just a real life Blaster Master game?
