“This new Leo hotness from HTC sure is making the rounds, and we certainly can’t get enough of it. Its latest appearance shows the handset from some sexy angles, but also gives us a new tidbit to chew on: the Bluetooth menu identifies the phone as the HD2.”

The Leo is one hot little device, and apparently it now has a new moniker all of it’s peeps are calling it (Side note: if a peep is short for person, would other devices be deeps? Anyway…). HD2 isn’t any shorter, but perhaps it hints to it’s eventual role in the HTC Handset lineup?

“…new render of the mid-range HTC Mega along with a handful of screenshots. The UI mask is looking good, and a little Sense UI-ish, but it doesn’t look anywhere near as thorough or sexified as Samsung’s efforts. Now to be fair, we know that the Mega is going to be part of HTC’s mid-range crop so we’ll have to wait and see how Windows Mobile 6.5 is looking on the company’s higher end handsets before reaching any real conclusions”

Mid-range HTC Mega seems to be getting some interesting design details if these posts from ai.rs blog and Boy Genius Report are to be trusted!

“Sure, the Samsung i760 may be getting a bit long in the tooth, but there’s nothing like a little OS refresh and added functionality to breathe new life into an aging dinosaur. Originally scheduled for a June launch, Verizon has officially released the Windows Mobile 6.1 update for is i760 handset. There’s nothing as sexy as EV-DO Rev. A support in there, but if the following list of improvements don’t get you excited about your oddly-shaped slide out QWERTY mobile companion, then we’re pretty sure there’s no hope left for you”

ROM Updates are always exciting times. If you’re feeling like a change (and a re-setup of your phone), download the update for the i760 and enjoy the new features outlined in this Boy Genius article!

7 target=_blank>After years of decline, syphilis on rise in Virginia
“Some of these men are involved in relationships with women who are
unaware of their partner’s bisexuality, Mason said. This behavior causes
an increase in infections among men and puts women at greater risk for
contracting the disease, he said. Mason described the case of a man who
lives in Hampton. Officials conducted a confidential interview with him
to discover where his syphilis infection originated and whether other
sexual partners were at risk. The patient was a single man in his 30s
who went to clubs in Washington, D.C., where holes in walls allowed men
to have anonymous intercourse. “He never saw the people,” Mason
said.”
While I’m just as happy as the next person that Syphilis is in it’s
upward cycle, the point of this SPA LOE (The second in as… Continue reading

Ok, so about a month ago, I finished reading “The Mothman Prophecies” by John Keel. It was a very good book, and I was excited to see the movie, as my friends had seen it and remembered it being ok. Let me tell you – the movie SUCKED. It was worse that worst… Hollywood deffinetly picked the ‘juciest’ parts of the book and put an (almost) entirely different plot around it. A big disappointment.
Other books / movies have been like that too. The Lost World (the sequal to Jurassic Park) was pretty horrendous as it tacked on a whole “hollywood-esque” ending of a dinosaur rampaging through a city at the end. About the only decent book -> movie that i’ve seen was Andromeda Strain (The 60’s version ) It was… Continue reading
