First Look At The Motorola Xoom Tablet

With a 1 GHz processor and 6.6 in x 0.5 in x 9.8 in in dimensions, the Motorola Xoom is said to be the more powerful, capable alternative to Apple's Ipad.

The good: With Google's next generation of Android, Motorola's knack for great hardware, and Verizon's promise of 4G network compatibility, the Xoom tablet technically offers a more powerful, more capable alternative to Apple's iPad.

The bad: It's expensive, slightly heftier than the iPad, and novice users may balk at Android 3.0's read-the-manual attitude. Adobe Flash not yet supported.

The bottom line: The Xoom's spec sheet is enough to make any tablet tremble, but the price is high and Google still has some work to do before its tablet software experience is as fleshed out and intuitive as Apple's.

Design and hardware features

With a 10.1-inch screen, you'd think Xoom would feel larger than the 9.8-inch screen-wielding iPad, but it actually comes off as slightly smaller. As tablets go, the Xoom carries its weight in its hips, stretching its screen area out to a more wide-screen-worthy 1,280x800-pixel WXGA aspect ratio.

This wider screen, coupled with the landscape-oriented positioning of the Motorola and Verizon logos, makes the Xoom a natural fit for use in a landscape view. This is fundamentally different from the original iPad, which prescribes a portrait orientation with its placement of the Home button. Of course, either device will reorient its apps and home screens for however you prefer to hold it, but nonetheless, the Xoom is ostensibly made for landscape view, whereas the iPad's design is naturally geared for portrait.

Video: Eminem and Dr.Dre Explains "I Need A Doctor" Video

Eminem says that when he presented “I Need A Doctor” to Dr. Dre, he had one simple goal in mind. It’s the same goal many fans have had for the better part of the last decade.

“Obviously, my whole career, especially in the beginning but even until this day, is always to get a reaction out of Dre,” Eminem explained in an interview with “Extra.” “The reaction I wanted was to spark him even more than he’s been sparked lately and get him to finish the album.”

After the pair performed the collaboration at the Grammy Awards earlier in February, the big-budged video for “I Need A Doctor” premiered on MTV Thursday. The clip, which is nearly eight minutes long, features Eminem helping Dre recover from a coma caused by a near-fatal car accident.

Eminem confirmed that the scenes featuring Dre in a coma represent both himself and Hip Hip attempting to wake up Dre. While laughing at his protégé during the ”Extra” interview, Dre said the song did indeed spark him to move forward with his swan song, which has been nearly a decade in the making.

“This song and this video is like the rebirth of something,” Dre added. “Maybe the rebirth of me going to whatever the future holds. It’s weird because that’s how I started feeling during the making of this video. With the rehabilitation and everything it really just feels that way.”

Russel Simmon Sells New Jersey Mansion for $10 Million

One of Simmons' symbols of wealth sold this week, for an eight-figure sum.

IPAD 2 Rumor. Will it last...

Apple's iPad 2 won't have two key features that some folks have been hoping for, a new report claims.

Citing unnamed sources, Engadget reported late yesterday that the iPad 2 won't launch with a high-resolution display or with an SD card slot. Apple initially planned on delivering those two features in the updated tablet, Engadget said, but apparently "engineering issues" caused the company to modify its plans at the last minute.

Earlier reports suggested that the iPad 2 could feature the Retina Display, Apple's high-resolution screen found in the iPhone 4.

Apple updates MacBook Pro for 2011

After ongoing rumors, Apple has announced that they will have new updates for the new 2011 line of MacBook Pro. This new line of MacBook Pro's will be the first product to feature Intel's new Thunderbolt Technology (formerly known as Light Peak).

The Thunderbolt tech is envisioned as a sort of unified successor to USB, FireWire, and DisplayPort, allowing peripherals to hypothetically carry data and video at 10Gbps. The Thunderbolt port on the MacBook Pros looks identical to (and is backwards-compatible with) existing DisplayPort connections, and--with the proper adapter cable--should also be able to interface with HDMI connections as well. (Also, note that Intel will be hosting a press event at 10 a.m.

The new MacBook Pros also get a new higher-resolution FaceTime HD camera. As the name implies, Apple is also bringing the iPhone's FaceTime video-calling software to the Mac.

Video: BMW set to release new line of "I" sub-brand

These future cars appear to be on opposite ends of the electric spectrum, with the i3 being a small commuter vehicle intended for densely populated cities and the i8 being something of an exotic sports car, with the brains of Tesla matching the brawn of a Viper. Both cars will make generous use of carbon-reinforced plastics to keep the weight down and improve fuel efficiency.

Motorola Atrix 4G (AT&T)

Motorola has finally released the Atrix 4G for AT&T and we're not complaining. Equipped with a dual-core processor and sharp quarter HD display, the Atrix has a sleek design with a 5.0 megapixel camera along with a camera on the front for video calls and an HDMI port. Bottom line, this phone packs speed and great features. Only upside is that this phone does not offer 1080p HD video recording or playback and you can not install non-market 3rd party apps (which is not all that bad). It is available for $199.99 with a new 2 year contract or eligible upgrade.

Nike Air Max NM Retro shoes

The Nike Air Max NM made its original debut in 1996, and were made for then Los Angeles Dodgers Pitcher, Hideo Nomo. Nomo was the rookie of the year in 1995, and was also the first Japanese pitcher to record a no-hitter in MLB. The Air Max NM features a Varsity Red nubuck and Black mesh upper, signature "cut-out" teeth design, baseball logo on the tongue and outsole, and Maize-colored visible Air-Sole unit. There is no doubt that these are from the 90s.


The Nike Air Max NM Retro's are available Varsity Red/White-Black-Varsity Maize and is retailed at $140.00
