Screen Grabs: Vampire Diaries uses Galaxy Note to scratch out sinister signals
Author: Jade Kim
Screen Grabs chronicles the uses (and misuses) of real-world gadgets in today’s movies and TV. Send in your sightings (with screen grab!) to screengrabs at engadget dot com.
The residents of Mystic Falls, Virginia are the most tech-savvy bunch of supernatural creatures we’ve ever seen. If Edward Cullen and Bella Swan bothered to email each other, then we’d have been spared the horrors of New Moon. Quite the opposite here, as The Vampire Diaries folks have their fingers close to the undead pulse of gadgets, with one character in last night’s episode refusing to type a text message so they could write out their response with an S-Pen. Fans of the show that keep score should know that it currently stands two to Microsoft, two to Google and the fate of humanity all to play for.
[Thanks, Mark]

California demands manufacturers ditch inefficient vampire chargers
Author: Natalie Wood
You’ve probably had it drilled into your head that your gadgets are doing terrible, terrible things to the environment — and not just ’cause they end up as toxic landfill in poorer countries. Many of your chargers and electronics continue to draw power even when they’re off or your device is disconnected. We’ve seen some ingenious solutions to the problem but, perhaps it would be best to avoid the issue all together. Starting next year California will require manufacturers to ship efficient chargers with their products, potentially saving $ 306 million in energy costs and cutting power usage by up to 13 percent in the state. The new rules are set to go into effect on February 1st, 2013, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the law faced some road blocks before then.

Screen Grabs: Atrix 4G cameos in Vampire Diaries, Klaus utilizes webtop for evil deeds
Author: Conrad Thomas
If Vampire Diaries holds any sway, the fantasy-drama based in “Mystic Falls, Virginia” suggests that vampire / werewolf hybrids clearly prefer Android superphones. In this screen grab, you’ll find antagonist Klaus keeping tabs on his shape-shifting captive from the comfort of the Atrix 4G’s 11.5-inch webtop. Fans of the ethereal series will note we’ve previously caught the troubled character, Jeremy, logging some time with LG’s Quantum, but this marks the first attempt we’ve seen of a Motorola handset playing a supporting role in breaking a witch’s curse.
[Thanks, Andrew]

Screen Grabs: Jeremy on Vampire Diaries uses LG Quantum to find the undead, look dreamy
Author: Nancy Kennedy
What’s a major corporation to do when it’s trying to bring its stake in the smartphone world back from the dead? Why, call in the help of some vampires, naturally. Character Jeremy Gilbert from CW’s Vampire Hunters looks like he’ll be tapping away on an LG Quantum in the next episode, calling up Bing Maps and then getting an aerial view of some mysterious compound. Vampire hideout? Werewolf den? Factory where they make really great hair product? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

Comics Spotlight On: Spider-Girl
Author: Mark Jeffries
Spider-Girl is not a character in regular Marvel continuity. She’s not a male hero. And she’s been canceled twice.
But she keeps coming back. Though no longer in print, she currently has a series of digital adventures, though those are coming to an end soon and her original stories may cease.
Still, May “Mayday “Parker is good at beating the odds.
When my eldest daughter was younger, Spider-Girl was her favorite comic because it was a cool mix of action, high school drama, and a teen dealing with slightly overprotective parents.
The First Appearance of Spider-Girl
Summary:
May Parker is the daughter of Peter Parker, the now-retired Spider-Man, and his wife, Mary Jane Parker. Â In regular comics continuity, this child was stillborn. In the alternate reality, she grew up to be a teen hero known as Spider-Girl. In many ways, the comic reminds me of the first few seasons of Buffy: the Vampire Slayer. There’s the high school setting and the focus on social issues, along with a strong supporting cast, plus angst as the character seeks to both be a hero and have a normal life. Mayday first takes up her father’s mantle at age fifteen. Over the series, she becomes a more experienced hero and eventually gains acceptance not only from her father but from other Marvel heroes.
What Kids Will Like About It:
Girls interested in Spider-Man may be drawn to the more relatable Mayday, especially pre-teens. The series features a nice mix of action and humor, with the writers getting a lot of mileage as Spider-Girl struggles to juggle being a regular girl and a superhero. My daughter particularly enjoyed a sequence where Mayday has trouble finding a costume that’s not torn to wear for crimefighting. In a way, this series is closer to the early Peter Parker Spider-Man stories because of its emphasis on learning to become a hero.
What Parents Will Like About It:
This is a fun series for Spider-Man and Marvel Universe fans, as it gives readers a glimpse at a cool alternate reality. Peter Parker has a cybernetic leg, which caused him to retire as Spider-Man and has become a police scientist. The next generation of Osbornes is around, as are a set of new Avengers, the villain known as Caine, and Venom. It reminds me of how much fun I used to have reading about the adventures of DC Comics heroes on Earth-2.
Best Panel:
I really like the cover to Spider-Girl’s first appearance. The rest of Spider-Girl’s adventures can be found in the digest form popularized by manga. The series kicks off with Spider-Girl, Volume 1 Legacy. There are twelve volumes of the series available on Amazon, and five volumes of her second series, The Amazing Spider-Girl.
About the Creators:
Spider-Girl was created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, and her costume was created by Mark Bagley. DeFalco was also the creative force behind four other titles set in the same alternate universe but only the interest in Spider-Girl was enough to sustain a regular series. DeFalco has had a long career in comics and served as Marvel Editor-in-Chief from 1987-1994. Frenz also co-created the young adult superhero team, The New Warriors, for Marvel. His website indicates he accepts commission requests.

No Comments »‘The Vampire Diaries’ and Microsoft team up, try to add ‘Binged’ to the lexicon
Author: James Cliff
If you were watching last night’s episode of The Vampire Diaries (believe us, we were not), you probably saw something a little… strange. Yes, with the opening credits still running, two women (sorry, we have never seen a frame of this show so we don’t know who these broads are) sitting in front of a laptop converse about a runaway teen named Isabelle Peterson or something like that. Unsure of whether or not this suspicious Peterson character was using a fake name or not, the ladies needed… well, they needed a tool that would allow them to search the vast and beautiful world wide web of information. “But where’d she get Peterson? Classmate? Best friend?” the blond sitting at the terminal wonders. “So…” she says, turning to the computer, “… I Binged it.” Wait, what? You Binged it? Hmm… we’ve never heard that one before, though we have to say in this case, it seems like Bing really came through for the ladies, nailing down the information they were looking for with ease. It’s quite an extended piece of advertising, really. But seriously… Binged? Guess it’ll have to do. Video is after the break.
[Thanks, Eva]

Ventev EcoCharge’s whacks vampire draw, charges two devices for the price of one – Updated
Author: Tech Blogger
Thought AT&T’s Zero charger was going to cruise along with no competition? No sirree. Ventev has shown up here in Las Vegas to launch its (seemingly superior) competitor, the EcoCharge. Designed to (nearly) eliminate vampire power draw when no device is connected, this here charger one-ups those "other guys" by having room to invigorate a pair of mini-USB / micro-USB devices (one of those, plus a full-size USB at the top), and best of all, it won’t take up 1.5, 2 or 2.5 slots on your power strip. The company claims that its approach to cutting down on vampire power drain — the energy that’s wasted when you leave a charger plugged in with no peripheral connected — is better than other solutions out there, as a unit that completely kills the power when it’s left alone requires an on / off switch or a "wake up" period before it storms into action. The EcoCharge continually pulls 0.025 watts, while Energy Star chargers can go up to 0.3 watts when not in use. Oh, and did we mention that it’s shipping right now? Indeed it is — in micro-USB or mini-USB flavors for $29.99 a pop.
We stopped by the company’s booth tonight at CTIA’s MobileFocus event, and we learned that an Apple-centric version is just weeks away from shipping. As you’d expect, the bottom plug will be a dock connector, though the USB port behind the flip panel will remain all the same. We’re told that the company will be doing its best to get the charger into Apple’s sales channels, but you’ll be forced by pay $5 more for that version over the other guys. Guess that 10 percent Made for iPhone tax hasta be paid by someone, right?
