Earlier today we reported on spilled shots of the HTC Kingdom and Rider phones, and now full specs for the rumored T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide – also known as the HTC Doubleshot – have been dropped. According to Pocketnow, which analyzed the phone's ROM, the device will run a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8660 processor and pack a 3.7-inch WGA display, an 8-megapixel camera capable of (possibly) recording 1080p 3D video, a forward-facing VGA camera for video chat, FM radio, and more. Support for 3D playback also hints that the myTouch 4G Slide could sport a 3D display, although that hasn't been confirmed.

The song does not flinch from disturbing words, saying that the dealer may "sell sweet dreams" but is ultimately destroying people's lives (communicated effectively through the line, "he'll leave your mind to scream"). Musically, the band starts out with just the guitar riff, but ends with a pounding beat, turning the song into an intense six-minute jam that drives home the painful, wrenching subject. When released as a single, "The Pusher" drew controversy not from its harrowing subject matter, but for its inclusion of the words "God damn." According to Kay, when Steppenwolf played a concert in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, authorities made the band promise not to sing the profane line.

Maksim Gelman arrested on suspicion of killing his stepfather, ex-girlfriend and her mother, and a pedestrian A graffiti artist armed with five knives was arrested in New York after a bloody 28-hour rampage in which he fatally stabbed his stepfather, ex- girlfriend and her mother, hit a pedestrian with a stolen car and stabbed a subway passenger, police said. Maksim Gelman, 23, was still carrying a bloodied kitchen knife when he was taken into police custody at about 9am local time on Saturday after a nightlong manhunt from Brooklyn into Manhattan, according to officials. "It's so horrendous and bizarre. We have no reason to know why he did this," said police commissioner Raymond Kelly, who held up a photo of the knife that he said Gelman had used to slash the subway rider on the head and neck. The man survived. "I don't recall seeing anything like this," said Kelly, who has spent decades working for the New York police department. He said charges were pending against Gelman. The stabbing spree started just after 5am on Friday when, police say, Gelman fatally stabbed his stepfather, Aleksandr Kuznetsov, at their apartment in Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay neighbourhood.

Taking corners at upwards of 100mph with your knee inches from the floor, opponents clustered around you and little more than a bike helmet and a padded jumpsuit for protection just isn't everyone's cup of tea. Capcom's latest contribution to the bike racing genre may not involve quite the same levels of physical danger but it is probably fair to say that, like the sport itself, this game will be something of an acquired taste. "This is the most authentic MotoGP game ever," boasts the packaging, and it is clear even from a glance at the controls that this is no lightweight arcade fare. Players can manage everything from separate front and back brakes to adjusting their rider's body position: allowing them to tuck in on straights, or shift their body weight forwards and back on the bike as the course demands. All these options can be set to automatic, but even on its gentlest setting, MotoGP 10/11 requires some patience at first. The handling is – as you would expect – very different to car ...
