The device on display ticks all the checkboxes we'd expect, including LTE on both Verizon's main 700MHz band and the carrier's recently acquired AWS frequencies. We also notice HSPA-based 3G, which suggests Big Red's GS4 won't be a

Piracy-Crippled Game From Hunted Cow Returns to App Store as ‘Battle Dungeon: Risen’ [iOS Blog]
Last December, asynchronous multiplayer strategy game Battle Dungeon hit the App Store. Less than a week after the game was released, an .ipa file surfaced on the internet and illicitly obtained copies of Battle Dungeon caused a huge amount of stress on the game's servers. The team behind Battle Dungeon, Hunted Cow, was forced to shut it down after the server load caused technical difficulties that the team did not have the resources to fix. Hunted Cow did not give up on Battle Dungeon and has today released a new version of the game in the App Store. Battle Dungeon: Risen is a redesigned single player version of Battle Dungeon that features a number of improvements.

Mac: Feral Interactive GRID
We can tell you about Feral Interactive’s GRID ($25), but first, just look at it. Beautiful, right? This brand new racing game from the company behind most of the big name titles in the Mac App Store is stunning, combining elements of a driving simulator with those of an arcade racer, taking you across the United States, Europe, and Japan.

HP's $169 Slate 7 tablet apparently delayed until June
Maybe it's that $169 price, or maybe it's the inclusion of an honest-to-goodness memory card reader, but we know some of you can't wait to get your mitts on HP's new Slate 7 Android tablet. Back when it was first announced, the company indicated it'd be available by April, but it would seem that plan has changed: the product page on HP's site is now saying the Slate won't arrive until sometime in June. We're not sure why there's a delay (we're asking for comment), but we do know this can't be good news for HP. By June, after all, Google I/O will have come and gone, and the next-gen

Unlikely Rumor Claims June 20 Media Event to Introduce iPhone 5S [iOS Blog]
Macotakara reports that the long-running Japanese magazine MacFan has claimed that Apple will be holding a special media event on June 20 to introduce the iPhone 5S. According to the report, the iPhone 5S will actually launch in July with the rumored lower-cost iPhone following in August. Various analysts and other sources have been indicating that the iPhone 5S could launch as soon as June or July, but MacFan's specific claim of a June 20 media event seems to defy common sense on several levels.

In-app purchases generated a record 76 percent of total App Store revenue in the U.S. in February, according to a report from Distimo, a company that tracks app performance and metrics.

1985 TV show discusses the Apple Macintosh
Ahhh, the early 1980s. Those heady days when the Mac was new, computer user groups were the way that you learned about your Mac (and made copies of software), and the Computer Chronicles was on TV. Today, courtesy of Wired, we get to take a look at a 1985 episode of the classic computer geek show that ran from 1981 until 2002. The episode highlights the Macintosh, "the computer for the rest of us."
In this episode, host Stewart Cheifet and cohost Gary Kildall discuss the first year of the Mac's reign, the 1985 Macworld Expo, and the lack of software for the device at that point. You'll enjoy the haircuts, the suits, the beards and appearances by members of the original Mac team.

MSI Slidebook S20 review: MSI's flagship Windows 8 Ultrabook has a flawed design
If you've been following our reviews of Windows 8 laptops, you know we haven't been too kind to the slider form factor. It's not like we set out to pan these machines, but time and again we've found that the propped-up display ruins the typing experience. Keep that in mind as we begin our review of the Slidebook S20, MSI's flagship Win 8 device, priced at $1,200 in the US. It's a bold move from a company whose bread and butter is not ultraportables, but gaming systems. In fact, the 11.6-inch S20 is the outfit's only high-end Windows 8 Ultrabook. So the company must have quite a bit of confidence in that form

Cryo: Megaqualle als Überwachungsroboter

Forscher an der Virginia Tech haben einen autonomen Unterwasser-Roboter mit dem Namen Cryo entwickelt. Das Vorbild in der Natur ist recht eindeutig. Wie eine riesige, glibberige Qualle wandert Cryo gemächlich durch die Gewässer, um für Militär und Meeresforscher Überwachungsbilder und andere Daten senden zu können. Aufgrund der sehr energieeffizienten Antriebsweise brauchen Cryos auch nur alle paar Monate an die Steckdose, um die Batterien wieder aufzuladen. Das erklärt auch die immense Größe dieser Roboter.

Grizzly robot EV shrugs off difficult terrain, laughs at heavy loads
Like its namesake, Clearpath Robotic's Grizzly is most comfortable in the wild. Sure, this unmanned ATV is perfectly capable of handling paved streets. But the 26-inch wheels and eight-inches of ground clearance are really built for offroad excursions. The 80-horsepower all-electric motor is capable of reaching speeds of 11 mph and of towing loads over 1,300 pounds. In short, this thing is beast. Clearpath suggests the bot would excel at agricultural tasks, but it seems to us that plowing fields would be a waste of Grizzly's skills. Unless, of course, those fields happened to be on another planet. To see this mobile monster in action check out the gallery below and the video

Microsoft allows Windows 8 to run on smaller displays: is a reader-sized Surface on its way?
Until now, Windows 8's official hardware requirements have been understandably ruthless: devices with anything less than 1,366 x 768 pixels need not apply. That policy was changed in a recent newsletter, however, to permit the creation of Windows 8 devices with a resolution of 1,024 x 768 -- likely representing a very different size and shape. Microsoft says the policy switch isn't meant to "encourage partners to regularly use a lower screen resolution", and it warns that such dimensions will be incompatible with Windows 8's split-screen feature, known as "snap". Which raises the question -- why mess with the rules?

Bloomberg hat berichtet, dass es neben dem Galaxy S4 noch ein S4 Mini geben soll, das kurz nach dem neuen Flaggschiff von Samsung erscheint. Man munkelt von einem 1,6GHz Prozessor, 4,3-Zoll Display und 8 Megapixel Kamera, darüber hinaus bleiben die Details aber im dunkeln. Samsung hält sich zu dem Mini allerdings noch bedeckt.

Apples Datencenter in Reno teilweise fertiggestellt
Wie AppleInsider berichtet, machte Apple beim Bau des Datencenters in Reno im US-Bundesstaat Nevada grosse Fortschritte. Die erste Bauphase soll bereits beendet worden sein. Momentan steht auf dem Apple-Gelände im «Reno Technology Park» lediglich ein Gebäude, welches von einem Zaun umgeben ist und von Überwachungskameras überwacht wird. Von einem Insider will AppleInsider erfahren haben, dass Apple bereits in den kommenden Wochen damit beginnen könnte, das Datencenter online zu schalten. Gerüchten zufolge hat Apple bislang erst ein Gebäude errichtet, weil man zuerst abwarten wollte, wie man die verschiedenen Gebäude auf dem Gelände platziert.

«Why You’ll Love iPad» — Apple mit neuer Kampagne für das iPad
In der Vorwoche ergänzte Apple die iPhone-Webseite um die Rubrik «Why iPhone». Nun hat Apple gestern auch die iPad-Webseite um ein entsprechendes Pendant ergänzt. Auf der neuen Übersichtsseite «Why You’ll Love iPad» zählt Apple einige Gründe dafür auf, wieso sich die Konsumenten für ein iPad entscheiden sollten. Eingeleitet wird die Seite mit dem Zitat, dass Apples iPad das erste Tablet auf dem Markt war und es noch immer nichts vergleichbares dazu gäbe.
Um die Besonderheit des iPads zu untermauern, zitiert Apple die Tester von «J.D. Power and Associates», nach welchen das iPad im Jahr 2012 dasjenige Tablet war, welches zur höchsten Zufriedenheit bei den Kunden beigetragen hat. Apple zitiert zudem verschiedene Studien, nach welchen beispielsweise 81 Prozent des Tablet-Web-Traffics von iPads stammt.

Perhaps it's because the iPad lends itself so perfectly to note-taking, but it seems like all of the really great note-taking apps are being developed for iOS. So when I heard from developer Nadim Kobeissi about the Bluenote (US$5.99) app for Mac, I asked if I could test it for TUAW. Bluenote is quite an interesting app, not only taking and securing notes, but providing a task list and a place to lock away passwords and other secret stuff. It performs all of these functions through a simple and minimalist user interface, which unsurprisingly features shades of the color blue.
The first thing that happens once you launch Bluenote is that you're asked for a password. This password is used to encrypt your data, so the app checks the length and complexity of your password
