Radiolab releases Android, iOS app, invites you to join the sound collage

We're not going to go so far as stating conclusively that Radiolab is the best program on your dial right now, but it's certainly a prime contender for that title. The Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich-hosted WYNC show frames scientific topics in a fascinating and understandable manner accessible to even the most unscientifically minded among us. The program now joins the ranks of public radio shows that crossed over into the world of mobile apps, arriving on Android and iOS. For $2.99, you get access to every episode of the show, audio and video bonuses and news pertaining to the program.

Windows Phone 8 to use Nokia map data with built-in turn-by-turn navigation

You won't have to use a Lumia phone any longer to get Nokia's mapping expertise: Microsoft just announced that Nokia's map technology is being built into Windows Phone 8. Along with the requisite NAVTEQ map information, it'll carry many of the things that Nokia Drive users love so well, including offline map support, developer control over maps, and (you guessed it) turn-by-turn directions. That makes three major mobile platforms that have or will have driving directions baked in from the start — it's now becoming par for the course rather than an advantage to lord over others.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean confirmed in the Google Play Store

Rather unintentionally, Google has just let the name of the next Android release slip. As expected, it's going to be called Jelly Bean and will carry the 4.1 version number. The leaked information can currently be seen on the US Play Store when purchasing a Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ smartphone described as "soon the first phone with Android 4.1 Jell..." You get the idea.
Additionally, there's also an image showing just a bite of the visual changes present in Jelly Bean. That's a new wallpaper and a visually refreshed Google search bar on the homescreen.

Women embezzles $10M from car dealer, buys 2011 Honda Crosstour

You almost have to feel sorry for Patricia Smith, the former controller at Baierl Acura who embezzled over $10 million from the suburban Pittsburgh dealership. Despite having stolen roughly $4,000 a day, seven days a week, for seven years, Smith's personal automotive aspirations extended no further than a new Honda Crosstour. Apparently being a criminal mastermind does not ensure good taste. According to Automotive News, Smith did buy the requisite fleet of vehicles normally associated with so much dirty money but she gave away nine of the ten – including a ragtop Shelby Mustang for her husband.

HTC eyes space between Apple's ‘closed' iOS, Google's ‘open' Android

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta wags its tail all over Fiorano

Forgoing the usual succession of variants and upgrades, the launch of an all-new Ferrari is typically a momentous occasion. Particularly when you're talking about Maranello's top-of-the-line V12 supercar. And yet, since the Prancing Horse marque unveiled the new F12 Berlinetta several months ago in Geneva, we've heard and seen little of the 740-horsepower monster. Which could be why we took notice when we came across this new video clip of the F12 lapping the Fiorano test track for which its predecessor was named.

Instantaneous Deodorizer by Kanto Gakuin University, Useful for Diaper Changing

In an industrial-academic project with a chemical engineering research group at Kanto Gakuin University, Ando has developed Nurscal, a system for removing the odor that arises when changing diapers. “This system uses activated charcoal to absorb odors. This material is called mesopore activated charcoal. The activated charcoal sold by retailers is the micropore type; that has very small pores, and it can only absorb a certain substance; it could be ammonia or formaldehyde. But this mesopore activated charcoal has slightly larger pores, which absorb odor constituents.

Apple and Liquidmetal hug it out, lengthen their pact until 2014

The deal between Apple and Liquidmetal was originally supposed to be a short-term fling. Technically, it expired in February this year, less than two years after the couple first met. There must have been a spark, as the two have just decided to extend their licensing deal through to February 2014. Of course, simply having a deal isn't the same as putting it to use, and there's no certainty that we'll see anything exotic materialize out of it: the last time Liquidmetal's extra-sturdy alloy was used in an Apple product, it wound up in a SIM card ejector tool.

Ikea UPPLEVA TV for Europe to get 8GB DVR add-on

Those of us living in the US will be getting the Ikea UPPLEVA TV sometime next year, but for our friends living across the pond, they are already able to waltz in to the nearest Ikea and pick up the UPPLEVA TV – except that this display-TV bench combination will be accompanied by an 8GB DVR add-on. Now, the question is this – will or will not the US version feature the 8GB DVR add-on. That remains open to speculation, as you have to consider the general climate Stateside, where most cable operators loathe DVRs, so DVRs aren't having a great time in this part of the world at the moment.

Multiprotector Air Cast

In many physical injuries suffered through accidents, immediate first aid is crucial. In cases where arm or leg fractures happen, being able to stabilize them is just as important in order to minimize further injury to the affected area. A company in Japan has recently developed an Air Cast called the Multiprotector that will allow first aid attendants to stabilize an injury immediately. The Multiprotector is developed by Japanese company Kinoshita Kogyo and can be used as a temporary cast for injuries that need to be stabilized immediately. It is a durable plastic inflatable device that can be placed on the injured area in the arm or leg.

Dead man walking: Nokia brings 41-megapixel 808 PureView Symbian phone to U.S.

. Nokia on Tuesday announced that its “unique” 808 PureView smartphone will soon launch in the United States. Nokia's new smartphone is indeed unique in a number of ways: it's the first Nokia phone to use a 41-megapixel “PureView” camera that oversamples pixels and combines up to seven pixels at a time to create one “PurePixel,” which the company says helps to eliminate noise. The device is also unique because it is powered by the Symbian operating system, which is currently in the midst of a long, drawn-out walk down the green mile, having been replaced by Windows Phone.

Diablo 3 1.0.3 patch released

Yes, we did hear that Blizzard will be patching Diablo 3 to 1.0.3 earlier this morning, and I guess we did not have to wait too long for the House of Blizzard to keep to their promise – with the latest 1.0.3 patch made already available to the masses. That was not too long for you to wait in between announcements and updates, no. This patch is available in the Americas at the moment, so do not fret that your game will not prompt you to download the 1.0.3 patch before it goes live in your home region. Folks who are logging in from an Asian or European client will just have to play the patience card at this point in time.

Kodak sues Apple, citing patent sales interference

Ah well, back to the matter at hand – Kodak has sued Apple, claiming interference in patent sales.

IBM's water-cooled supercomputer saves energy and helps with your heating bill (video)

IBM's SuperMuc has had a good week. Not only has the three petaflop machine been listed as Europe's fastest supercomputer, but it's also apparently the first high performance computer that's entirely water-cooled. Rather than filling rooms with air conditioning units, water is piped around veins in each component, removing heat 4,000 times more efficiently than air. The hot water is then used to heat the buildings of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre where it lives, saving the facility $1.25 million per year.

Apple extends exclusive deal with Liquidmetal by two years

Apple has used liquidmetal sparingly so far - just for the SIM ejector tool for iPhones and iPads - but the company behind the material announced that the exclusive deal between them and Apple has been extended for two more years. The deal gives Apple exclusive rights to use liquidmetal for consumer electronic products (the material is also used in various sport equipment). The original deal ended on February 5 2012, but it has been extended until February 5, 2014.
With many leaks pointing to a metal back on the upcoming iPhone 5, the extended deal might mean that Apple will be using the tough alloy for the back of its new smartphone.

According to the rumors, Google's Nexus tablet is expected to be made by ASUS and will be 7" in size, thus lending credence to the rumor.

That's 48GB in addition to the usual 2GB you get after creating an account.
