New iPhone Prototype Found and Exposed
The "alleged" new Apple iPhone prototype was lost and found at a bar in Redwood City. It had a case camouflage so it resemebled a iPhone 3GS. Once plugged in, it was read as an iPhone.
Eventually, the techs at Gizmodo got their hands on it and made a thorough assessment.
We're still not sure if it support mini HDMI and if the new camera shoots 720p.

ESPNDeportes.com Gets A Facelift
In our opinion, a great website just got better! Its no secret Mouse Media loves football or soccer (as known in the United States), so we like to track internet endeavors regarding the beautiful game.
ESPN has been a pioneer in website development with sports and their presentation is flawless. Ever see their gametracker? They employ ample flash, video streaming, and great use of ajax.
Their new site will upgrade all Web 2.0 whizbang technologies, social networking, 16:9 video streaming, and more juicy advertising solutions.
Read more below and congratulations to the ESPNDeportes.com team:
Looking to super-serve Latino sports fans with the latest technology, personalization and social networking, ESPN Deportes is putting the finishing touches on the newest version of www.espndeportes.com. The redesigned website goes live May 12.
In addition to a simpler design and navigation, the site includes enhanced video and search capabilities as well as a 16:9 video player. Not forgetting the advertiser, the website offers the ability to geo-target video ads, explains Carlos Cabán, senior director of espndeportes.com. "It’s a lot more than a redesign because we’re not just changing the look," says Cabán. “We’re introducing new products and new technology. Users will be able to do things they couldn’t do before.”
A new real-time scoreboard that runs across the middle of the homepage lets fans customize game scores via their favorite teams or by sport. The site’s home page will now be regionalized into five offerings – covering the U.S. Hispanic market, Mexico and Central America, Southern Cone (Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay), the Andes (Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Chile) and Venezuela and the Caribbean. This, explains Cabán, allows for national and r egional news as well as the latest sports scores to be targeted to local fans. Enhanced personalization features allow users to tag news, scores and information about players based on their particular favorites. Baseball will be introduced first, with other sports being added throughout the year tied to the seasons’ debut.
Driven by Hispanics’ increased use of social networking sites, the team at ESPN Deportes developed a “Perfil del Fan” section, which allows users to create a profile, upload photos or video and interact with other fans. Toyota is already on board as the sponsor.
Recent data from Mintel indicates that online Hispanics spend 90 minutes longer than non-Latinos using social networking websites or chatting via instant messaging. A new “Opiniones” page, featured on the main navigation bar, will feature postings from columnists and bloggers. Multimedia components will include video and podcasts.
Although the focus of the redesign is clearly on the fans, executives at ESPN Deportes are also paying close attention to advertisers’ needs. The new homepage will feature capacity for eight ad executions; the current site only allows for three. "That throws us into a new category, one with creative, rich media opportunities," says Cabán. He explains that some of the new offerings for advertisers are centered around the top stories and headlines section of the homepage. Advertisers can use pencil unit banners to walk users through various messages. An animation feature allows for something like a truck driving across the screen. Even a movie studio could feature a trailer from an upcoming feature film. "There’s a lot of technology and new concepts behind the new website," says Cabán. “And we injected some of our flavor too.”
ESPNdeportes.com debuted in 2000 targeting the U.S. Hispanic and Latin American markets. The site covers Latin and European soccer, the NFL, NBA and South American basketball, major league baseball and motor sports, tennis and golf.

Transcendence Release New Album: City of Lost Children
SEVEN YEARS after its recording, rock group TRANSCENDENCE release the September 11th tribute song Rebuild America for sale on a new rare and unreleased tracks collection entitled The City of Lost Children. The song Rebuild America was recorded in October of 2001 just after the World Trade Center attacks in New York but never officially released. The song was eventually turned into a music video. Watch it here. Now the song is finally being released for sale with all proceeds to benefit September 11th victims’ families through the Robin Hood Foundation. The album also features 13 other rare or never before released tracks from all five of the band’s previous albums.
In anticipation of two new studio albums this year comes first this compilation of unreleased outtakes and rarities from TRANSCENDENCE that offers fans access to many of the band’s most hard to find hidden tracks and studio gems for the first time ever. The City of Lost Children is a compilation of studio outtakes from all five of the band’s officially released albums that spans eight years. The album also includes unreleased favorites such as the R&B flavored Whenever I'm with you -- a familiar staple on various MTV shows over the years, and the September 11th tribute song Rebuild America; as well as two Brazilian-classic covers sung in Portuguese when singer Ed Hale was at the peak of his Tropicalismo obsession. From irresistibly catchy commercial pop (Jacquie) to psychedelic alt-rock (Kill the monkey), raw, urgent indie-rock (All is lost) to Beatlesque Brit-pop (Andrea’s Fault) and avant garde experimental instrumentals (Nothing is cohesive part II) The City of Lost Children offers a revealing glimpse behind the curtain of the creative and prolific musical collective known as TRANSCENDENCE with 14 never before released tracks that is sure to be a treasure chest for those who want a to take a deeper look into the ever-eccentric group’s past musical explorations. As diverse and eclectic as the song selection is, fans should find it a special collection that sounds like it could be an album in and of itself. And indeed now it is.
