DNP White Nexus 4 no longer available on Google Play

If you've been putting off buying a white Nexus 4, be ready to wallow in regret: you've missed your chance to get one straight from Google Play. Both the 8GB and 16GB versions are "no longer available for sale," a little more than a month after the company's online store started carrying them. A Google spokesperson told us that the alabaster phone has indeed sold out, and that the Play Store won't carry it again, as it was a limited edition release. All's not lost, though -- T-Mobile still sells the white Nexus 4, but you'll pay a slight premium for it.

FCC approves Google's white space wireless database

Google may have been on pins and needles while the FCC scrutinized its white space wireless database over the spring, but it can relax this summer -- the FCC has given the database the all-clear. The approval lets Google serve as one of ten go-to sources for white space devices needing safe frequencies in the US. It also lets those with interference-prone devices, such as wireless microphone users, register the airwaves they consider off-limits to white space technology. The clearance won't have much immediate effect when very few Americans are using the spectrum, but it's a step forward for rural broadband rollouts and other situations where long-range, unlicensed wireless comes in handy.

White House

The White House has long been calling for smarter use of spectrum among federal institutions, and it's translating some of those words into deeds through a new Presidential Memorandum. The new set of guidelines requires that agencies wanting spectrum prove that they've both explored alternatives and will make efficient use of the airwaves they'll get. The NTIA also receives an expanded role under the mandate: it should offer wider access to government-owned frequencies and work more closely with the private sector. Not much changes for the FCC, though. The White House wants it to largely stay the course and prevent carriers from hogging spectrum. Accordingly, we're not expecting a sudden surge in wireless capacity as a result of the memorandum; it might, however, cut back on some waste.

White spaces forum paves the way for formal wireless broadband across Africa

I've traveled to remote islands in the South Pacific where wireless internet is proving to be the go-to technology for broadband, and increasingly, it's looking as if tether-less connections will be what brings millions upon millions of Africans online. Google's own Eric Schmidt has confessed as recently as March that the most exciting part of the web's future isn't any one technology or product, but the "next five billion people looking to get connected." So, it figures that Google was a major constituent at the recent TV White Spaces & Dynamic Spectrum Africa Forum in Dakar, Senegal. It -- along with 15 African nations, Microsoft, the Association for Progressive Communications, Afrinic and others -- recently convened in order to discuss the opportunities that are currently facing the continent. Indeed, the fact that there is over 90MHz available in Dakar alone to be used for wireless broadband deployment puts Africa in a unique spot -- one of the most disconnected regions of our planet could become a pioneer in bringing the next wave of humans online.

ICASA, the South African regulator, will reportedly use various trial outcomes to evaluate possible rules for use of the TV white spaces. And, as Steve Song of Village Telco points out, it's pretty astounding to have Microsoft and Google working in some fashion towards a similar goal. As it stands, a lot has to happen -- final standards have to be agreed upon, equipment makers have to decide that it's a profitable enterprise, and individual nations have to place a high priority on getting their populations connected. That said, the amount of momentum that's already happening is supremely compelling, and I'm hoping to report back in the coming months on how a smattering of these very trials are impacting communities across Africa right now. Stay tuned!

Pentax's WG-3 ruggedized camera scores a white paint job

PENTAX Adds White WG-3 to its Family of Ruggedized Cameras

Performance meets photographic demands with fast F2.0 lens, in-camera shake reduction, and increased waterproof, crush-proof and shockproof ratings.

Denver, CO (June 3, 2013) - PENTAX RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS CORPORATION today announced the addition of a white WG-3 to its ruggedized lineup of compact cameras which launched in March 2013. The WG-3 line of cameras is now available in five colors including the new white, black and orange or in green or purple in the GPS version. The WG-3 and WG-3 GPS line of cameras offer worry-free shooting for active families and adventurous individuals. Pulling from long standing expertise in the rugged camera category, PENTAX upgraded the features on this new and improved line of waterproof cameras, now in its 15th generation.

Included in these upgrades are a feature-set that has been optimized to meet the rigorous and demanding needs of the adventurous photo enthusiast, whose travels and exploits can take them into a variety of scenarios too challenging for the traditional point-and-shoot.

For the unplanned adventure, the WG-3 offers a worry-free shooting experience with an increasingly ruggedized body that is shockproof from drops of up to 6.6 feet, coldproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit and crush-proof, waterproof to 45 feet, and can withstand up to 220 foot pounds of force. The WG-3's rugged design is enhanced by its folded optical zoom lens that reduces its vulnerability to moisture and dust while ensuring a compact and pocketable size without the protrusion of a lens barrel. Finally, the sturdy construction and sharp design, unique to the WG-3, features a textured grip for a controlled ergonomic grasp and colorful grip accents to further enrich its rugged styling.

"The addition of white to the existing line of WG-3 cameras is a timely inclusion for upcoming summer activities," said John Carlson, Sr. Marketing Manager, PENTAX. "The WG-3 is a great, worry-free camera to keep with you for a day at the beach, a long hike or even on the slopes in the winter. Regardless of season, climate or weather the WG-3 was built to withstand the elements and capture great images."

Pricing and Availability

The white WG-3 rugged compact camera will be available online and with limited distribution to retail outlets in July 2013 for a suggested retail price of $299.95.

LG officially reveals the white Nexus 4, launches May 29th

Finally, the Nexus swan arrives. LG has just announced that the white iteration of its Google phone will make its first retail appearance in Hong Kong at the end of May, rolling out across Asia, North America and Europe over "the next several weeks." As a reminder, the Nexus 4 packs an admirable 320 ppi 4.7-inch HD IPS display, 8-megapixel camera, Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and the very latest version of Google's mobile OS, which, for the time being, is Android 4.2. No pricing has been formalized yet, though we expect it to match the black original. Interestingly, Hong Kong's May 29th release date is one day before LG's Optimus G Pro launch soiree at Macau -- practically next door.

Hilarious 'House of Cards' Spoof Opens White House Correspondents' Dinner

Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai2013-04-28 15:30:10 UTC

Kevin Spacey reprised his House of Cards character in a hilarious six-minute video that opened the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, also known as "Nerd Prom," Saturday in Washington, D.C.

In the skit, Spacey uses his character's Machiavellian maneuvers to complete the seating chart at the dinner and, in the meantime, pokes fun at a long list of personalities attending the dinner. A number of them even participated in the spoof, including Sen. John McCain and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Spacey even makes some tongue-in-cheek criticism. Referring to the night's host, comedian Conan O’Brien, he says that "it must be so hard to write jokes about a town that already is one."

"Democrats, Republicans, the White House, Congress, you all came together to make this spoof. That's what real bipartisanship looks like," he says at the end, addressing the camera. "I may lie, cheat and intimidate to get the job done, but at least I get the job done. So I hope some of you are taking notes."
