Purported Samsung Galaxy S3 service manual and device render leak online

Android Central

Another day, another batch of tantalizing Samsung Galaxy S3 details. Today it's a scan from the service manual for the device, along with a purported list of specs, which comes from unofficial Samsung blog SamMobile. If you've been following all the various leaks, the image above will be instantly recognizable from a handful of leaked photos we've seen over the past couple of weeks. Specifically, it's the spitting image of what one of these devices might look like with its plastic dummy shell removed. The phone's profile is also an exact match for the shape teased by Samsung Denmark on Facebook last week. So it's entirely possible this is our first look at the real, actual, final design for Samsung's new flagship phone.

What's particularly interesting is the inclusion of physical buttons -- absent in some leaked images we've seen, but alive and well in others. However, we've heard rumors that Samsung was considering both buttoned and buttonless designs for the Galaxy S3, so it makes sense that prototypes of both sorts might exist. Besides that, it looks like a thin, sleek phone, not a million miles away from the Galaxy Nexus.

As for the spec list, there's nothing too surprising there. A quad-core CPU had been rumored (and has now been confirmed by Samsung), though the 1.5GHz number seems a little off to us. The reported 4.8-inch screen is also interesting, as earlier leaks had indicated a 4.6 to 4.65-inch panel.

Despite the genuine appearance of the image, and ?SamMobile's? strong track record when it comes to leaking this sort of thing, we're still inclined to take things with a pinch of salt for the time being. With many different pre-release leaks floating around, the actual Galaxy S3 design remains shrouded in mystery, and there's no guarantee this isn't just some intermediary render. In any case, there's not long to wait now -- we'll be live from London in just seven days to bring you full coverage of exactly what Samsung unveils.

The goal, as the name implies, is to help people find nearby gyms, and to register for classes at those gyms. The interface is pretty straightforward ? you just enter your zip code, how far you're willing to travel, whether you're looking for a "spot" or a class, and in the latter case, the class type, and then you get a list of results.

LG's 5-inch Optimus Vu shipping soon in white (in Korea, at least)

white lg optimus vu smartphone

Just under two months after LG's Optimus Vu got priced for the hometown market, in flies news that another hue will soon be on those very same shelves. The 5-inch, 4:3 ratio'd Android smartphone will soon hit South Korea in white, purportedly targeting the "younger" market -- you know, folks who like "cool" things (LG's translated words, not ours). Folks can look for the device -- which should remain unchanged outside of the external color -- to hit SK Telecom as early as next week, but there's no word on when (or if) it'll spread to other markets.

The Distro Interview: Microsoft Principal Researcher Bill Buxton

The Distro Interview: Microsoft Principal Researcher Bill Buxton

Bill Buxton has spent most of his career getting between humans and computers. While his initial focus was on music and digital instruments, that eventually led to an interest in human-computer interaction, and pioneering work with multitouch systems and other user interfaces. He worked with the famed hotbed of innovation Xerox PARC in the late 1980s and early 90s, and was later Chief Scientist for software firm Alias Wavefront before claiming the same title at SGI Inc. when that company acquired the former in 1995. After a time running his own Toronto-based design and consulting firm, he moved on to Microsoft Research in 2005, where he continues to serve as the organization's Principal Researcher.

We recently had a chance to pick his brain and get his thoughts on a range of issues, including state of design at Microsoft, the future of natural user interfaces, and whether we're really entering a "post-PC" era.

Kandi rips Marlo in Atlanta 'Housewives' reunion

Bravo

Cynthia Bailey was caught in the middle as Marlo Hampton (left) and Kandi Burruss (right) fought on the final installment of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion special.

By Ree Hines

If you thought "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" got all the feuding and fighting out of their systems during the first two parts of the reunion special, think again. On Sunday night, part three proved that the ladies of the South haven't reached a cease-fire in their war of words.

In fact, they're far from it. On the heels of the battle between NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield and the blowout between Kim Zolciak and Marlo Hampton came a matchup no one anticipated: Marlo vs. Kandi Burruss.

It even came as a shock to reunion host Andy Cohen, who tweeted, "I didn't see this fight btwn Marlo and Kandi coming" as it aired.

It all started calmly enough when Kandi was reminded that Marlo once called her a "sugar mama," which Kandi dismissed as a laughing matter -- at least at first.

But when Marlo pressed the point, asking whether or not Kandi's current main man works or if he lives with her and drives her car, the calm came to an end.

"I wasn't even going to be mean ... but now you wanna come at me?" Kandi asked before swapping between bouts of defending her man and attempting to put Marlo in her place -- all while letting the expletives fly.

Check out the bleep-filled scene for yourself in the clip below:

Sinclair ZX Spectrum turns 30, gets immortalized as a Google Doodle

Image

Today's Google UK doodle celebrates both St. Georges Day and the little home computer that became a British phenomenon, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. To be competitive with the rival Commodore 64, the 16KB of RAM-packing machine retailed for just £130 ($210 in today's money), punched well above its own weight and was often the first computer bought by techno-phobic families. Designed to be as programmer-friendly as possible, the founders of Shiny, Rare and Blitz Games studios all cut their teeth on the computer that introduced the world to Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy and Dizzy. It lasted a full decade in production, selling five million units before Amstrad purchased the money-losing unit and closed it down. Despite its demise, it's still got a loyal following from a generation of fans, something we doubt can be said about the Amstrad machines that replaced it.
