We don’t know what everybody else in the phone business has been doing lately, but Inbrics has just unveiled what looks to be the near-ultimate Android phone. The Inbrics M1 is a slider handset with a (great) 3.7-inch WVGA OLED display, 3 megapixel camera, front-facing VGA camera, 16GB of built-in storage, microSD slot and all the other usual trimmings, but what’s particularly stunning is that the phone is not only half an inch thick, but it has a full QWERTY keyboard that’s surprisingly clicky and typable. The phone is running Android 1.5 right now, but it should be up to Android 2.0 by the time it hits the market in March. The biggest concern is the 800MHz Samsung processor, the same chip that’s in the Samsung Moment, but the interface (as demonstrated in the video after the break) is smooth as butter, and they demo’d it playing back 720p video just fine.
Inbrics actually has a lot of custom UI and software running on top of Android, but the most interesting part is what they’re doing with video calling and beaming media from handset to videophone to TV to laptop over DLNA or through an access point device that plugs into the TV over HDMI. Inbrics also has a Cover Flow-style media browser that isn’t super deep in functionality, but still puts the stock Android stuff to shame, and some rather sexy custom widgets.
The plan is apparently to get a carrier to bite and rebrand this phone in the US, so price and availability are still pretty hard to pin down, but if this phone can hit the market soon it sure could give the rest of the QWERTY Android sliders out there some body image issues.

Even the most exuberant fan of 3D displays and tablets has to admit to feeling a tiny bit jaded at this point. To sate the need for variety we went off exploring the quirkier booths and located this head-mounted video and stills camera being demonstrated by Liquid Image. We laid hands on a non-functional prototype, but as far as feel and comfort go, the few seconds we had these on led to no complaints. There’s an overwhelming amount of padding around the eyes, probably kinda important when you’re flying down the hills, and a tint to the visor keeping sunlight at bay. Recording can be done at 720 x 480 resolution and up to 5 megapixels for snapshots. The Summit Series will be available in July (perfect timing for a winter sports product!) for $149.

One large study that was done in Australia showed that the prevalence of mid-frontal hair loss increases as people age and affects 57% of women and 73.5% of men aged 80 years and over. Each hair on the scalp grows less than half an inch per month. Interesting bit of trivia: the word alopecia is formed from the Greek word meaning fox; the origin comes from the fact that the fox sheds its coat twice a year.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder also known as “spot baldness” that can result in hair loss ranging from just one area to every hair on the entire body. Temporary loss of hair can occur in areas where sebaceous cysts are present for one week to several weeks in length. Correcting a hormone imbalance may prevent further hair loss.
Many women notice hair loss about three months after they’ve had a baby; during pregnancy, high levels of certain hormones cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall out and when the hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels that hair falls out and the normal cycle of growth and loss starts up again. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance; correcting the hormone imbalance may stop the hair loss. In the past it was believed that baldness was inherited from a person’s maternal grandfather; while there’s some basis for this belief, both parents contribute to their offspring’s likelihood of hair loss.
Wearing a hat generally shouldn’t cause baldness, though it’s a good idea to give your scalp a rest and let it breathe for several hours a day. Tumors and skin growths can also induce localized baldness. Hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes.
Go a more natural way with treatment if possible; taking hair loss drugs require many months of exposure to chemicals. Immunosuppressants applied to the scalp have been shown to temporarily reverse alopecia areata, though the side effects of some of these drugs make this therapy questionable. Minoxidil is a drug that’s used daily to prevent hair loss but may create heart problems; the hair it grows is very fine, only on the top of the head and may fall out again soon after the drug is stopped.
The surgical methods used include hair transplantation, whereby hair-producing follicles are taken from the back and sides of the head and injected into bald or thinning areas. There are prescription drugs, herbal remedies and topical applications for hair loss. Surgery is another method of reversing hair loss and baldness, although it may be considered an extreme measure.
Propecia is available with a prescription; comes in pill form, is only for men and may take up to six months before you can tell if it is working. Very little testing has been done on the long-term effects of Minoxidil on women. Hair loss remedies and treatments with prescription drugs are long term commitments; not short term exposure.
Vodka and cayenne remedy for loss – mix one jigger of vodka with a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (test on skin first for sensitivity) and rub it on the scalp; blood rushes to the hair follicles stimulated by the vodka and cayenne pepper – be careful if you try it. Massage the scalp nightly with an oil made of one part rosemary oil and two parts almond oil. Garlic for hair loss remedy – an hour before bedtime, slice open a clove of garlic and rub it on the hair loss area, wait for an hour then massage the scalp with olive oil, put on a cap, go to bed, shampoo your hair in the morning, repeat for a few weeks, and hopefully hair will stop falling out and regrowth will be showing.
Circulation to the scalp is important. Garlic oil remedy for hair loss – at bedtime, puncture a couple of garlic pearles, squirt the oil on the scalp, massage, cover with a cap, shampoo and rinse in the morning. Polygonum Multiflorum is a traditional Chinese cure for hair loss; whether the plant itself is useful, the general safety and quality control of herbs imported from China can be questionable.
Resveratrol, from grape skins, is a lipase inhibitor and by decreasing the body’s ability to absorb fat through the intestine walls, it reduces the total fat and calorie content of a person’s diet. Make sure to test remedies on a small area first and check with your hair loss doctor or skin doctor before trying any natural home remedy if it includes any irritating ingredients. Olive oil and rosemary remedy for hair loss – use equal amounts of olive oil and oil of rosemary; combine them in a bottle, shake vigorously, massage into the scalp, put on a cap and shampoo in the morning.
Beta Sitosterol, which is a constituent in many seed oils, can help to treat BHP (benign prostatic hypertrophy) by lowering cholesterol; but consuming large amounts to get at small quantities of beta sitosterol is likely to exacerbate male pattern baldness. Saw Palmetto is an herbal DHT inhibitor often claimed to be cheaper and have fewer side effects than finasteride and dutasteride; unlike other 5alpha-reductase inhibitors, saw palmetto induces its effects without interfering with the cellular capacity to secrete PSA (protein specific antigen). Apple cider vinegar used as a hair rinse may stimulate hair growth.
Consider picking one of the least harmless, topical, natural home treatment remedies (the kind you whip up at home), and try it on your scalp for at least 30 days. If large amounts of hair are lost it’s important to see a doctor or skin doctor to rule out an underlying disease. To prevent further hair loss, consider a healthier lifestyle – eat a more plant-based diet, and get plenty of exercise; be good to your immune system.

2.25 cups of water, coffee for about 4 cups of coffee ground to a powder. 8 servings of stevia and 2 cups of Vodka.
Boil the pulverized coffee in the water (at least 1 minute after it hits a rolling boil). Let the coffee settle a bit and then pour about 2 cups worth into the 8 servings of stevia. Let cool and add to 2 cups of vodka.
For a first attempt, it was not bad, but I found it a little too sweet and a little too strong on the coffee flavor. Next time I will try about half the coffee and 2/3s the stevia.
Does anyone one else have a recipe they like?
On what should have been a quiet Saturday, a pair of reviews/articles showed up online that provide an interesting counterpoint to Ray Walters’ The Android Army is Rising post.
On the one hand, we have Jason Kincaid’s The Switch From iPhone To Android, And Why Your First Impression Is Wrong, appearing in TechCrunch. Mr. Kincaid makes what should be an obvious point, but one that gets overlooked a lot — your past experience has an impact on your view of the present. The crux: long-time iPhone users will need some time to get used to Android, and off-the-cuff reviews don’t give reviewers that kind of time. This is no different than if, say, I were to try a Palm Pixi for a day or two and offer up a review, as it would take me more time than that to truly appreciate the differences between WebOS and Android.
On the other hand, we have “Boy Genius” (not sure his real name) and Google Android Personal Thoughts, appearing in his Boy Genius Report blog. This article shreds Android to bits. Some of his complaints are valid and oft repeated in Android-land, such as the limitations of the Android Market. Some of his claims are unprovable (e.g., “No one gives a crap about their Android phone, there’s zero emotional attachment” with nary a sign of a statistically-valid survey to back up the point). Some of his claims may be provably false (e.g., much of his rant on the icon sizes is false for Android 2.0.1, and I can replicate the experiment on the 2.1 SDK once it arrives).
The thing that struck me the most about the two pieces, though, were their respective tones. The pro-Android TechCrunch article was calm, professional, and fairly succinct. The anti-Android screed comes across like the worst of the “Android Army” rants that Mr. Pogue complained about — I can almost feel the spittle coming out of my monitor. Had the tones been reversed, I would have been upbraiding Mr. Kincaid. As it stands, Boy Genius is welcome to reach his target audience however he wishes.
The point is that, for Android to succeed, we need more sane discourse and fewer rants and diatribes. This is why I railed against those launching personal attacks and spamming Android Market comments in the Cyanogate mess from 2009. I know that the “Android Army” modus operandi is sexy, and I’ve been known to brandish a verbal gun myself from time to time — I am trying my level best to improve. But ordinary people will not be impressed with an unruly mob, if that’s what Android fans come across as.
We can do better than that. We have to do better than that.
Jeremy Green came into Saturday’s contest against UCLA with a sore ankle, a bruised finger bone and a pulled back muscle. The sophomore guard then proceeded to play one of the best games of his career.
Green scored 30 points in 37 minutes for the Cardinal, who earned a solid 70-59 win over the Bruins at Maples Pavilion Saturday afternoon.
“It’s all good,” Green said in regards to his injuries. “I’m all good.”
Green was definitely good—the sophomore guard went 11-of-18 from the floor and seemed to make big shot after big shot when the Bruins were trying to get back into the game. He banked in a running three-pointer as time expired at the end of the first half to give the Cardinal a 34-33 lead going into the locker room.
“That was just a huge performance by a great player,” sophomore center Jack Trotter said. He’s really come into his own.”
Senior forward Landry Fields overcame a slow start to finish with 16 points and 7 rebounds. He didn’t have the best shooting night of his career, but he found a way to get his points, both inside and out.
“I was as proud of any kid as I’ve ever been,” Coach Johnny Dawkins said of Fields. “He takes everyone’s best shot every night. He’s never once backed off a challenge. He got off to a slow start tonight, and the toughest thing for any good player to do is to be able to turn it around in that same game. For him to turn it around in the second half says a lot about who he is.”
Overall, it was a solid performance by the Cardinal, who led for nearly the whole game and pulled way from the Bruins in the final minutes.
“I thought we played well,” Dawkins said after the game. “I thought our guys worked hard, followed the game plan and were prepared.”
Dawkins also had plenty of praise for Green.
“I give the young man a lot of credit,” he said. “He’s played through a lot of injuries. He contributes, he’s competitive, and I’m starting to think he [plays well] so he doesn’t have to practice for me,” Dawkins joked.
“He’s got a big heart, he’s a big competitor.”
The unheralded Cardinal big men—Trotter and fellow sophomore Andrew Zimmerman—also gave solid performances, finishing around the basket and making a number of hustle plays. Trotter, a walk-on, finished with ten points on 4-of-7 shooting.
“I thought our big men were terrific,” Dawkins said. “They grew even more tonight.”
UCLA shot 54.6 percent from the field while Stanford only shot 47.2 percent, but the game was won by turnovers and free throws: the Cardinal shot 13 more free throws and turned the ball over ten less times.

This year at CES, Windows Mobile was not well represented, but we are seeing more and more phones with WM6.5.3 ROMs. The SE X2 and Traveler are two devices that were not said to get the .3 update, but it seems that is more and more likely on the way for these two devices. The recent wave of images is telling me that MS has looked at the original 6.5 and shook their head in disgrace, and so they might start pushing out this new version to devices like we are seeing here at CES. This is a sign that CES was not a total Android show, now we have some Windows Mobile their and representing the future of our Proud OS.

Howard Finster was born into a family of thirteen in 1916. He attended school only through the sixth grade, by 13 years old was a born again Christian, and by 16 he was preaching. Finster claims to have had his first spiritual revelation at the tender age of three, and said he witnessed his deceased sister coming down from heaven to let him know one important message.
“Howard, you’re gonna be a man of visions.”
In the 1940s Howard, evangelist and pastor, began to work on a new type of vision, a different way with which he intended to spread the word: art.
He began work on a garden-art environment in Summerville, Georgia in 1961, after leaving behind his first undertaking in Trion, Georgia. Howard called this new project and garden “The Plant Farm Museum.” Made of recycled materials, broken glass, concrete, painted objects, rust and other discarded materials he built it to celebrate what he called the “intentions of mankind.”
The site quickly grew to monster proportions, with Howard building multiple buildings on the site, including the “Bible House,” “the Mirror House,” “the Hubcap Tower,””the Bicycle Tower,” “the Machine Gun Nest,” and the astonishingly large, five-story “Folk Art Chapel.”
As Finster’s work began to gain notoriety an article published in Esquire magazine dubbed the garden “A Garden of Paradise” and the name stuck and evolved into what is now “Paradise Gardens.” In 1976 Howard began another art undertaking after he experienced being been called by God to “paint sacred art” which he began to do with great zeal.
You may be familiar with Finster’s work and not realize it. Fans of his work included both REM lead singer Micheal Stipe and Talking Heads singer David Byrne and both worked with Finster and had him create cover art for their albums — the album Reckoning in the case of REM, and Little Creatures for Tlaking Heads.
Howard’s Paradise Gardens remains today, the place for thousands to enjoy for a quiet stroll or for art and music festivals as well as educational research and workshops. Finster died in 2001. The last item Howard Finster put up in his ever evolving Garden was this request, reading:
“Help save the Garden Chapel.
Thousands enjoyed it.
A place of free weddings
and many school groups
Last 40 years.”
Today the Chapel Restoration Fund is attempting to raise money to do so.
At CES, Covington Creations announced new decorative designs for their Earbud Yo-Yos. These audio cable organizers not only keep your wires tidy, but they also add some flair to a drab pair of earbuds. Some of the new designs include a leopard print, a soccer ball, a camouflage print, a tie-dye print, a zebra print and more. Each of them cost $16.99.

Dave Zatz stopped by to meet with the folks at Hauppauge at the end of CES and confirmed something I had reported on this past summer, but had since lost hope on: Hauppauge is in fact working on a CableCard device!
Not much additional information on that front, but good news nonetheless for MediaCenter fans who have gone from seeing non CableCard tuners available to several. Hauppauge will be joining SiliconDust and Ceton as new, small companies developing CableCard tuners for MediaCenter HTPCs.
Lets hope this device will be multistream like the ones from SiliconDust and Ceton coming this year.
The X2 was one of the devices that I was not expecting at CES, after it being delayed for ever, I am surprised the phone made it in time for its flight(joke). The recently released and recently dropped Sony Ericsson device made it to CES and BGR is reporting that it looks good. The device if you are not aware has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, DLNA media server support and TV out, too, with a 8.1 megapixel camera sensor with auto focus. This device is a good phone, but the wait time is just too much and now Pocketnow is reporting that the USA will have to wait till summer to get some X2 love, which is just too much, so I am not sure about this device anymore.
