While I've had a decent amount of time with Kid Icarus Uprising's main game, my exposure to the multiplayer modes was limited to just a few, rushed minutes with an early demo on the crowded E3 2011 show floor. What I saw there didn't leave a strong impression on me at the time, but after my recent demo, it seems evident that the developers have put quite a bit of spit shine into these modes since I last saw them. In fact, Uprising's multiplayer component may just be the game's greatest strength....]]> http://feeds.ign.com/~r/ignfeeds/all/~3/DbsPssjpNP0/1219198p1.html http://feeds.ign.com/~r/ignfeeds/all/~3/DbsPssjpNP0/1219198p1.html 22 February 2012, 8:30 am

Malaysia may not be on the tip of anyone's tongue when wireless comes to mind, but that's not stopping local outfit DMD Mobile from attempting to make its mark. Set for an official unveiling at next week's Mobile World Congress, the M3 Android NFC Communicator is the outfit's clumsily titled stab at the prepaid market in South Asia and the Middle East.

SanDisk has developed a chip that earns it membership in the exclusive 128-gigabit club. Not content with simply matching the Micron / Intel effort, SanDisk and its partner Toshiba claim their new memory uses 19- rather than 20-nanometer cells in the production process. Shrinking the size is one thing, but SanDisk's new chips also use its X3 / three-bit technology. Most memory stores just two bits per cell; cramming in another means fewer cells, less silicon, more savings, cheaper memory, happi...]]> http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/adafruits-internet-of-things-printer-combines-your-love-of-info/ http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/adafruits-internet-of-things-printer-combines-your-love-of-info/ 22 February 2012, 5:01 pm

Chinese manufacturer Malata is relatively unknown in the tablet universe, as it hasn't been in the spotlight since showing off its SMB-A1011 back in 2010. Now, the outfit's quietly unveiled a roadmap that's got more than a handful of noteworthy slabs in sight. The company plans on launching a variety of Tegra 3-packing slates dubbed SMB-B1023, including a 7, 9.7 and 10.1-inch version, all of which are said to be sporting ICS. Furthermore, Malata plans to rollout port-heavy variants of the afor...]]> http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/hulu-may-be-headed-to-playstation-vita/ http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/hulu-may-be-headed-to-playstation-vita/ 22 February 2012, 4:13 pm

Well, the folks from Chaotic Moon went back to the lab to make it even better with a new control system, swapping out the Kinect sensor bar for an Emotiv EPOC headset and re-christened it the Board of Imagination.

HTC and Huawei are both expected to bring their A-game to MWC. What exactly that entails remains a mystery, thanks to both companies keeping their lips sealed.

Sparrows, blackbirds and the great tit are all birds known to sing at a higher pitch in urban environments. It was previously believed that these birds sang at higher frequencies in order to escape the lower frequencies noises of the urban environment. Now, researchers have discovered that besides noise, the physical structure of cities also plays a role in altering the birds' songs....]]> http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/uGhwuftnrL0/120222132741.htm http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/uGhwuftnrL0/120222132741.htm 22 February 2012, 12:27 pm
Researchers have recently studied the response of human NK cells against porcine chondrocytes. The results of the research indicate that these cells, characteristic of the innate immune system, play an important role in the rejection of xenotransplantation of porcine chondrocytes....]]> http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/X0pT5Ds8I4g/120222132737.htm http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/X0pT5Ds8I4g/120222132737.htm 22 February 2012, 12:27 pm

It's well known that the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, a swirl of stars in an extended, many-armed disk . But the structure of the galaxy is far from two-dimensional. Above and below those familiar spiral arms is a lesser-known feature, a spherical swarm of stars that makes up a halo around the disk.

Dawn Higginson thought it was strange when she learned that some diving beetles produce sperm that fuse together at the head like Siamese twins. But when the postdoctoral researcher from the University of Arizona began asking why such conjugate gametes form, things only got even stranger. The sperm of the diving beetle, which gets its name from its ability to swim underwater, occur in many shapes and forms. Whereas a few species make standard tadpole-shaped swimmers, others generate sperm that s...]]> http://rss.sciam.com/click.phdo?i=55f264ff1049cfa4c9fd2657b793569f http://rss.sciam.com/click.phdo?i=55f264ff1049cfa4c9fd2657b793569f 21 February 2012, 6:00 am

The courthouse in L’Aquila, Italy, on February 15 hosted a highly anticipated hearing in the trial of six seismologists and one government official indicted for manslaughter over their reassurances to the public ahead of a deadly earthquake in 2009 (see  "Scientists face trial over earthquake deaths " and "Scientists on trial: At fault?
