NBC renews Community for a fifth season, possibly thanks to Amazon, Netflix
Author: Heather Brown
Tonight NBC revealed it is bringing back comedy Community for a fifth season. While NBC has been criticized for shifting the premiere date for this last season and dumping showrunner Dan Harmon, Variety suggests its renewal may be related to something apart from the show. The Sony Pictures-produced show could have followed the path of Cougar Town to cable but there’s also new competition for content from sources like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. All are willing to pay for quality original content and would love to snatch up the audience that’s already watching on NBC.
One needs only look at Arrested Development or the Kickstarter for Veronica Mars to see how much hype “saving” a show brings in the digital realm. Another boost for the show is likely to come from reruns on Comedy Central, all of which adds up to a renewal order which at one time seemed unlikely to happen. Finally, NBC has other elements that are certainly in play, like stabilizing a Thursday night lineup with familiar shows as it prepares for the Winter Olympics early next year. When the show comes back it will unfortunately be without Chevy Chase’s Pierce Hawthorne character, so a Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne 2 is probably not on the table. If you’re not familiar with the show’s pursuit of “six seasons and a movie” and wonder what all the hype is about, check after the break for one man’s theory of Community as a “postmodern masterpiece.”

Possibly The First Passover E-Book Created By A Dating Site
Author:
JDate Haggadah is an eBook version of, well, the Haggadah. It also answers the question you never knew you had: what would Moses' online dating profile look like?
JDate Haggadah is an eBook version of the Haggadah, the text containing the story of the Jewish exodus from Egypt and traditionally read at Passover Seder.
The free eBook is meant to be used as a functional, “modern” Haggadah (read, as it were, from a smartphone or tablet), but also provides, as their PR pitch puts it, “a steady stream of punchy jokes.” Mostly this means lamenting the lack of technology present in ancient Egypt (“Look around and appreciate all you have, for we were once Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt where there was no cell reception and very few taxi cabs.”), but in the middle section, there are also a few pages dedicated to mock-up JDate profiles for the Pharaoh, his daughter, the slavemaster, and Moses himself. (Username: “GunsNMoses.” “You should message me if you: want to get out of Egypt.”)
They're only a little weirder than the type of profile you can currently find on any modern-day dating site on the internet.

Nokia Lumia 928 possibly seen in Verizon’s system, spoils few surprises
Author: Randy Miller
We know that Verizon is adding at least one more Nokia Lumia to its stable in the near future. However, there’s been little in tangible evidence to suggest just what’s coming to the carrier’s Windows Phone line. A purported leak to Phone Arena from Verizon’s internal product listings could help fill in that picture. It mentions a Lumia 928, and not much else — but Nokia’s naming customs immediately suggest that this will be Big Red’s rumored variant of the Lumia 920, which is currently limited to AT&T in the US. The device isn’t necessarily connected to the RM-860 we saw at the FCC, although it does support murmurs that Verizon wants at least some kind of improvement over the strictly middling Lumia 822. If the 928 is real, we’re mostly left wondering whether or not it will come quickly enough to remain relevant.

Sony Alpha A58, NEX-3N press images possibly caught making the rounds
Author: Rod Sutherland
We have actually currently seen hints that Sony wants to revitalize its entry-level interchangeable lens cameras. Supposed press images snagged by Digicam Details, nonetheless, support talk what can be an evolutionary yet significant refresh. The Alpha A58 you see above appears to only have minor ergonomic tweaks, however introduces a truly common hot shoe and a new 18-55mm, f/3.5 -5.6 II kit lens. The sighting backs earlier Sony Alpha Rumors claims, which also had the A58 carrying a roughly 20-megapixel sensor. A second set of photos from DI (an example of which seeks the break) also validates a previous live leak of the NEX-3N mirrorless cam, whose focal point is still its motorized zoom control. Neither Sony camera has actually a leaked launch date, although the raising flow of details recommends there isn’t a lot more of a wait.

Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N5100 possibly seen testing, may put quad Exynos in a small tablet
Author: Randy Miller
Feeling that Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 could utilize some even more grunt? There’s an opportunity you’ll get your wish. An unannounced Galaxy Note GT-N5100 has actually turned up in benchmark scores with exactly what looks to be a 1.6 GHz Exynos 4412, much better referred to as the Exynos 4 Quad variant that’s made use of in the speedy Galaxy Note II. We don’t know that it’s a small tablet, however the 1,280 x 800 resolution matches that of the Galaxy Note 10.1– it’s not most likely that Samsung wishes to duplicate its recent design efforts. Whatever the measurements, the testing shows that the slate is using Android 4.1.2, and it might be a cellular-equipped design with that “kona3g” codename. If the GT-N5100 is even more than just a set of benchmarks, the real question could be when we’ll see it; there’s no assurance of a tinier Galaxy Note in Las Vegas.

Get Out!: Hubble Possibly Spotted Furthest Galaxy Ever
Author: Buck Howard
Astronomers believe they could have simply spotted the furthest galaxy previously, a little cluster named MACS0647-JD (his parents need to have actually disliked him), between the Big and Little Dippers. That’s right, like THE furthest one. What’s beyond it? The bistro at the end of the galaxy? A wall? God?
Scientists integrated data from the Hubble space telescope with NASA’s Spitzer Area Telescope to make the discovery. MACS0647-JD would have existed about 13.3 billion years ago, or approximately 420 million years after the Huge Bang. This would place it around 200 million years earlier than previous candidates for a lot of distance things ever before identified.
The galaxy is small, appearing to be about 600 light-years around, or 250 times smaller sized than our Milky Means. Small, early galaxies are thought to have actually crashed into one yet another and combined over billions of years to form the huge cosmic framework we see in the present-day world.
Would not it be cool if we could such as, simply go there and KNOW just what was going on? I wish to stay in a time when we can easily do that. That’s why I’ve decided to be cryogenically frozen this weekend while I’m still in average wellness so they could deliver me back when we have the modern technology to get off this rock. Hopefully it’s quicker than later on however since I just have sufficient cash to stay frozen till New Years.
Thanks to legendaryxatdx, who’s so legendary also the aliens staying in MACS0647-JD have heard about his deeds.

HTC Droid Incredible X possibly spotted with Verizon badging intact (Update: international variant could be ‘Deluxe’)
Author: Margo Tipton
It’s about time. The HTC DLX has most often been rumored carrying a Verizon-style 6435LVW or Droid Incredible X name, and yet it was unveiled first in Japan as the J Butterfly; we really needed the photos just now surfacing at Android Central to remind us that the 5-inch, 1080p gigantophone could still come to Big Red. While nothing’s confirmed yet, the black-with-red-trim design and all too prominent Verizon labeling make a convincing case for the DLX’s ultimate US destination. A helpfully provided phone profile screen might be more interesting to some, as it hints that we might get the same quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro, 2GB of RAM and 8-megapixel rear camera as in the J Butterfly — Verizon won’t pull a Droid Incredible 4G LTE and tone down the hardware, if this is true. Without any more details, we’re still left wondering just how soon Verizon could commit to launching the smartphone. There’s no guarantees that Verizon will follow KDDI’s schedule and ship in early December.
Update: We’ve been wondering whether the odd name was meant to be short for Droid Incredible X, i.e. “DIX” instead of “DLX,” but our friend evleaks just showed us a list of device PIDs that mentions DLX. evleaks also suggests that it might be short for “Deluxe” for the international market, just as “ENR” is short for “Endeavor.” Check out the list right after the break.

No Comments »Nokia Lumia 822 for Verizon possibly caught stopping by the FCC
Author: Jon Mitchell
Just in case you thought Nokia’s Lumia 822 for Verizon was an impression, the FCC has actually offered us great (if not fairly smoking gun) evidence that it’s tangible. A filing at the agency shows a device that’s only noted as the RM-845 on the area, but has Verizon’s CDMA and LTE bands, dimensions extremely near those of the GSM-based Lumia 820 and a microSD slot that you wouldn’t discover in a Lumia 920 variant– except a surprise new style, there’s little past the 822 that would presently fit the expense. Those dissatisfied that it’s not a higher-end Lumia might take some consolation in seeing both the expected NFC along with quad-band HSPA 3G for world roaming. Between the FCC and earlier images, followers are actually simply left awaiting Verizon to make this brand-new piece of its Windows Phone revival official, whether it’s on October 29th or some other date.

Amazon Report Roundup: Faster And Cheaper Kindle Fire, Kindle Touch With Better Screen And Possibly A Phone
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Amazon is a company that simply can easily not stop leaking info about its new items. Before the live coverage of Amazon ’ s press conference on TechCrunch at 10:30 in Santa Monica, it is now a really good time to jot down exactly what we understand about Amazon ’ s schedule.
New Kindle tools are highly expected and the major focus of the conference must be on hardware. The Nexus 7 has actually proven to be a beautifully-designed economical 7-inch tablet and an update to the Kindle Fire would be a welcomed announcement. The Kindle Touch has lost its edge in the e-reader landscape with the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight. Furthermore the Pearl E Ink display has actually not been updated given that 2010. Finally, there are some rumors that Amazon might finally be ready to release a Kindle-branded phone.
Kindle Fire
Also though Amazon claims that the Kindle Fire is now sold out, exactly what it actually indicates is that Amazon stopped production of the existing Kindle Fire– an unit can easily not be offered out because it is the business that determines to stop production. Seeing just how Amazon is desperate for attention, a brand-new Kindle Fire is therefore plausible.
Some photos of the tool leaked. It still sports a 7-inch display with a narrower matte bezel and maybe a front-facing video camera on some designs. Amazon could opt to only deliver the camera on the higher-end model to keep the entry price extremely inexpensive.
A 10-inch tool could be introduced too but we are much less positive about this rumor as the cost has constantly been an essential selling point for Amazon over the years. And of course it would certainly put that purported tablet in direct conflict with the iPad.
Discussing costs, in order to keep its edge in the race to the bottom, Amazon could embrace a similar technique as its ereader strategy. In additional words, Amazon may lower the cost by showing ads– additionally understood as unique offers– when you switch on the gadget. A $ 149 device sure looks appealing when it is just a click away to include in your online cart.
Engadget received some logs that can indicate that the new Kindle Fire operating system will certainly be based upon Android 4.0.3 as an alternative of 2.2– a much required improvement for third-party developers and also individuals. A bump in specs would certainly be realistic too, with for example an improved processor and a display with a much better resolution.
Then there is the Firedock. Amazon trademarked the brand, most likely for an accessory. Will it be unveiled today?
Kindle Touch
While we are uncertain about the entry-level Kindle, the Kindle Touch is likely to get an update. It is currently not available on Amazon.com. It did not get the same PR treatment as the Kindle Fire, but the Kindle Touch is in need of an update also.
Yesterday, the brand-new Kindle Touch was teased by Amazon in an advertisement. The house button is gone and the bezel is now black.
Opponents such as the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight or the just-announced Kobo Glo have a screen that glows in the dark. Contrarily to just what it resembles, those tools are front-lit and not backlit. It uses small LEDs in the bezel to project light on a transparent film. The Kindle Touch must most likely make use of the same modern technology due to the qualities of E Ink displays.
Another enhancement would be a brand-new E Ink screen. The existing Pearl display has actually been used in Kindle e-readers since 2010. The company E Ink stated that a generation is supposed to last 2 years. Display comparison between the text and the background must be improved in addition to display refresh rate for faster web page turns– it relies on the processor too. But the more essential enhancement would be a bump in resolution. The Kindle has had the exact same 800 × 600 resolution given that 2007. The Kobo Glo has a 1024 × 768 six-inch screen. Maybe it will certainly be the exact same resolution for the Kindle Touch, possibly not.
Kindle smartphone?
Over the past couple of days, some reports of a Kindle-branded smartphone have actually arised. It is probably the next logical action for Amazon after hyping up its App Store a lot. Bloomberg has actually come to that conclusion after hearing rumors from Foxconn and the hire of Matt Gordon, a specialist in patent protection to stay clear of claims.
It is ambiguous whether the smartphone will be revealed today. The rumors come really late. In addition, specs and design stay unidentified. It would certainly be an intriguing turn for Amazon, also if it is just produceded in a few weeks. With its amazing retail presence thanks to the common Amazon.com, the tool could possibly offer well and show to be yet one more challenger in the smartphone landscape.
