Until now, Android OS software imminent honeycomb Google was reserved for only the Tablet devices. In addition, other than a color Nook, there have been quite minimalistic hacks to try to get the operating system running on other platforms. A developer of XDA accepted the challenge of trying to get the honeycomb, working on a smartphone and he managed to some extent — here's the Nexus One running Android 3.0! But don't rejoice yet.

Forum member "bypass23" uses the honeycomb SDK to build a bootable ROM on your Nexus. He stresses that the SDK has remained virtually intact, paving the way for other developers willing to improve the user interface of the comb on phones. More information other than this is sadly lacking, even though we know that the trick is still a little green, so some areas still not working, or require workarounds clumsy. You know, important stuff like using your phone to make calls or write texts. According to a member who tried the hack for himself, however, Wi-Fi, camera, bluetooth, accelerometer and good work well, so you can have a little fun with the honeycomb.

It is therefore a nice trick in development, but don't forget the main point of having a phone to make calls and texts (Yes, not just playing cool apps!). Up to Bypass23 or other developers working on this hack to give him the nod, waiting for these important functions be added before you try it for yourself.

Smithsonian calls on public to choose more than one game artistic video games (Digital Trends)

The Smithsonian is recognized as an authority on art and historical relics from past eras, certainly. But not exactly known for his expertise on digital entertainment. That might be because the Smithsonian has enlisted the help of the public for the exhibition "The Art of Video Games" next year's game.

Players, or simply those who appreciate the art of video games, you can choose from a pool of 240 titles, released 20 console and cover four genres: action, adventure, target and combat/strategy. Voters may select up to 80 titles after registering on the website of the exhibition.

Of course, as processors have gotten faster and cheaper than disk space, game developers increasingly have infused gameplay with spectacular visual effects, such as movie. But this does not mean that the Smithsonian is going to neglect the humble origins of the game. The curators of exhibitions have decided to cover the entire history of the game Pac-Man 1981 46.583 s 2010 ° s Call of Duty: Black Ops. The pool of titles have been selected for their innovations in the design, aesthetics and graphical outputs.

Online voting will continue until 7 April and the results will be announced in May. The exhibition is expected to open in March 2012 and will be held at The Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C. The exhibition should include stills, interviews with designers, as well as five playable games: Pac-Man, The Secret of Monkey Island, Super Mario Brothers, Myst, and World of Warcraft

Record phone calls to your PC

Question I'm looking for a reasonably economical for record conversations on a mobile digital cordless telecommunications (Dect). I tried Googling for answers, but the many suggestions have left me puzzled. I need to be able to hook it up to your PC for transcribing conversations. gengiscant

Response of HELPROOM DECT telephones encrypted signals (even if a weak method, 35 and 64 bits), so that any type of device sniffs out ' the signal ' is out of the question.

Most commercial telephone recording products rely on desktop phones connection using a microphone connected to the phone's speaker or a USB device that has placed ' in line ' between your phone and laptop.

Some Dect phones have a built-in call-recording option, but always these calls off the phone and the PC would be almost-impossible, I suspect. The easiest and fastest method is to buy a phone device-registration-how this device £ 12 from Maplin-and the Slave PC line in socket.
