SAR rating, The new must for cellphone buyers

When Gaurav asked for a mobile phone, with all his classmates showing off their smartphones, his mother was unwilling to spend too much on something she believed was only good for making calls. She bought him a smartphone from a lesser known brand, for just upwards of Rs 4,000. But, did she consider how safe it was?

One key aspect of mobile phone safety that most people are unaware of is its SAR or Specific Absorption Rate value. It is a measure of the amount of energy absorbed by the body when exposed to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic waves such as those emitted by mobile phones.

Game review, EA s sci fi shooter Fuse

If you discovered an energy source as potent as Fuse -- a combination of alien and human technology that promises unlimited power -- how would you use it? Would you deliver electricity to poor countries? Or try to end humanity's dependence on polluting fossil fuels? Or just build a decent cellphone battery? 

Don't be silly. You'd use it to kill other people.

Each of the four protagonists in Fuse (Electronic Arts, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $59.99) has a different Fuse-based weapon that can disassemble human flesh in creative ways. Jacob's Arcshot sets enemies on fire, while Izzy'sShattergun turns them into crystal.Naya's warp rifle sucks the bad guys into black holes. And Dalton'sMagshield can blow them off their feet while protecting his partners. 

HTC One Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5.0 update detailed

The update to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on both the HTC One and the HTC Butterfly (international version of the DROID DNA, that is), has been a long time coming. Today it’s appeared only on some international models of the HTC One with a bit of a boost to Sense 5.0 as well (without the name change) – and the aesthetic changes are what’s heading the pack. While we’re expecting this change to hit carrier models in the near future, right this minute it’s just popping up on a select few models across the sea.

Several relatively minor changes have been made to the user interface here with Android 4.2.2 coming to the HTC One – and to the Butterfly in a similar manor, we must expect soon. The first of these is the addition of an option to change what happens when you hold down the Home button in the lower right of the HTC One’s front panel – now instead of only being able to access Google Now, you’ll be able to set a long-press to access the long-lost “menu” key.
