Android Central international round-up - April 14, 2012

Android CentralWith the HTC One series launch buzz beginning to settle down, the past seven days have been a little quieter than usual. Nevertheless, the steady stream of device updates and announcements has continued, even if the pace has been a little slower.

Sony Mobile is kicking off its Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update project, with Scandinavian countries being the first to get a taste of ICS on the Xperia Ray, Xperia Arc S and Xperia Neo V. Meanwhile, long-suffering Galaxy S II owners in Vodafone UK finally got their ICS update, as did Nexus S users on Wind Mobile and Videotron in Canada.

There were also a couple of interesting new device announcements -- Vodafone and Huawei announced the Ascend G 300, a surprisingly high-specced entry-level phone, while Korea got a bright pink Galaxy Note.

And later in the week, HTC addressed reports that some One S phones were experiencing chipped edges on their ceramic coating -- owners of affected phones can return their handset for a refund, or have it replaced under warranty. The manufacturer also says it's making small changes to ensure the problem doesn't crop up again.

Snowflakes began to fall down from the light cerulean sky. The air slightly chilled, yet nowhere near the temperatures it had been for Christmas Eve just days before. The sun was just starting to rise for the last time this year, getting ready for the upcoming fireworks and celebrations happening later that evening. It was almost 9 o'clock in the morning, but businesses were already starting to reach its peak as people rushed to the stores for plates, spoons, fireworks, and everything else they needed for tonight's celebration. It was New Year's Eve. Stirred awake from the bustle of car horns and noise outside, Gregory was greeted a good morning by his dog Sandy. Sandy was a cute little thing, a pure breed golden retriever that he'd gotten for his 16th birthday. Really, saying the dog was 'little' was quite the understatement. The dog was huge, almost as big as Gregory himself. "Mom left for work already?" He spoke groggily, when his dog greeted him with a slobbery kiss on the check. Yawning slightly, he sat up on the bed, causing Sandy to jump back on the floor. The dog scampered off as soon as his job was done, and probably went outside to the living room.

It took Gregory a few moments to realize that it was New Year's Eve. He was half reminded by the noise outside, and, a few seconds later, with a text from his best friend Eric. There was a party today at his house, Gregory remembered. Ten o'clock that night a whole group of them were supposed to meet up at Eric's apartment. Eric was filthy rich; with a flat screen television, pool, pool table , Jacuzzi - pretty much everything. He lived in the far end of the city, near all the manors and large houses. It was 45 minutes away from where most of them lived, but none of Gregory's friends really cared. Eric's house was the place to be. Eric's father was some sort of well-known doctor in Europe, while his mother was an extremely successful lawyer. His parents were almost never home, so Eric had the house to himself. Usually he'd joke around saying that was perfect for other reasons, but Gregory knew that it could get pretty lonely. He looked at his friend's text, throwing his phone off the side of his bed. "New Years, huh?" Gregory said almost to himself. It was weird. Last night, he had a weird dream about a girl. He could really only remember bits and pieces of it, but it was rare for Gregory to have dreams at all. Well, everyone had dreams, but a dream that he'd actually remembered. He couldn't see the girl's face in the dream, but he remembered she was calling his name. Calling his name in a way that seemed familiar. Her hair was blocking her face, but she was running towards him in an almost desperate manner. The closer she got, the more Gregory was able to realize that the girl wasn't happy at all. The girl seemed to be crying. And then the New Year's ball dropped and it was over.

Shrugging off the thoughts as simply as a dream, Gregory let himself collapse on his bed once more. He hated the fact that his mother told Sandy to wake him up so early in the morning. Who wanted to wake up this early on vacation? He had a pretty messed up family if they wanted him to wake up this early. Well, really just his mother because his father had left them when Gregory was a baby. Head first on the comforters of his bed, Gregory fell back asleep. This time, he didn't have any weird dreams.

Gregory had woken up a few hours later, this time at a more reasonable time, to the sound of the apartment doorbell. He groaned lazily, glancing at the clock in his room. It was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Three o'clock with no breakfast or lunch? Gregory was starving. But, he decided not to move. He was starting to realize that spending the whole day sleeping was pretty satisfying. His bed was soft, comfortable, almost alluring him to stay. The odds seemed to not be in his favor, however, when the doorbell kept on ringing. Ding, Dong. Ding, Dong. It was like a broken record. The fact that he lived in a small apartment, and not a large mansion like Eric did, made it even worse. He could hear Sandy barking loudly as the door continued to ring repeatedly. Slowly, Gregory started to get up. He walked out his bedroom still in pajamas, his hair disheveled, and eyes tired. The house was still dark because no one had opened the blinds this morning, and rays of sunlight struggled to beam through the gaps. He walked sloppily to the door, which had finally stopped ringing. He looked through the small glass hole drilled on the door.

"What's your problem?" He muttered angrily, finally opening the door. "What?" He growled as soon as the door opened. To his surprise, it was Eric.

"Nice outfit." Eric snickered at his appearance, and made his way inside the small apartment without Gregory's permission, "Did you just wake up or something? It's like pigsty in here. And it smells like shit." He complained, lounging around his friend's living room and made himself comfortable on the couch. Eric was a relatively short guy, he had curly hair and an air to him that very easygoing and relaxed. He was nice guy, but can get on the annoying side pretty easily. Like now.

"What are you doing here?" Gregory looked at his friend, still standing by the door. "Don't you have a party to get ready for?"

"Ricardo's preparing for all that. " He replied simply, referring to his butler. To him, in wasn't exactly that big of a deal. "There are, only like - what, thirty? - people coming anyway. It's not that much." Sandy went up to Eric, sniffing him a little, before going back to his spot on the floor. Even the dog was used to him by now. Eric yawned, "Anyway, since you didn't answer your texts I came by to tell you that Isabelle's bringing this hot chick with her. " Isabelle was one of their friends, who was also Eric's girlfriend, "I mean I haven't met her but I've heard she's got a rockin' body." Eric made a face, looking at Gregory pointedly. He was obviously referring for him to hook up with her.

Gregory wasn't interested, but if it made his friend go away, he was willing to do anything. "Alright, okay thanks. Can you leave now?"

Eric didn't make any signs of moving, "Talk about rude." He got up slowly, "I came here to tell you that because I thought you might be interested. You know, since you might feel a little left out at the party." He hinted slightly.

"I don't need your sympathy." Gregory cut him off shortly, now almost pushing him out of his apartment. He didn't exactly want to talk about his love life right now. "Goodbye, Eric. I'll see you later." He pushed his friend the door. He liked Eric, but, really, sometimes Gregory wished he could just stop talking to him.

European Commission outlines plans for Internet of Things regulation

European Commission outlines plans for Internet of Things regulation
The Internet of Things is on the rise, and when things get big, they tend to get regulated. The European Commission has spotted this trend, and has decided to get its rubber stamp ready, in a bid to protect individual rights from all the data that it collects, as well as "unleash the potential economic and societal benefits." While this may seem like bureaucratic party-pooping, the Commission points out that much of the information carried includes personal location, preferences and behavioral patterns. There will be an initial consultation to determine the required privacy and security of an IoT infrastructure which will then be fed into the Commission's recommendation -- expected to be presented in summer 2013. The good news is that there's a survey open to citizens and businesses to have their say on how on how the regulation should be administered. Check the more coverage link below to make your opinions heard.

bolero exterminator: Fitness is More than Just Exercising But You ...

Everyone can get fit. There is no reason that you shouldn?t be able to get reasonably fit if you are patient and willing to do the work involved to change. More and more people are concerned with their health every year. Take a moment and think: how much do you think something like ?I really need to be healthier?? How many times do you think to yourself ?I need to exercise more?? Health and fitness are very real concerns all over the world. If you have been thinking about trying to get fit, here are a few hints that can help you out. Also, in case you?re interested, an effective way to build some additional muscle is with Bodylastics bands.

Work your entire body. Don?t listen to people who tell you that you only have to concentrate on the parts of your body that you want to improve. To be successful you will need to put together a routine that will work your whole body and all of its systems. You will need to train in endurance, strength and cardiovascular systems. All of your muscles need to be worked on if you really want to make your body healthy. Concentrating on just a few areas will only ?beef up? those same areas which will make you feel bigger than you felt before you started working out.

Seek help from a personal trainer. By now you are probably flirting with the idea of joining a gym or might have even already joined one. Your gym probably has a personal trainer on hand to help you put together and perfect a workout routine that you can use to increase your fitness. Your personal trainer will teach you how to use the machines and gym equipment, tell you which fitness classes you should take and help you decide just how much time you should be spending working out each day. Perhaps most importantly of all, a personal trainer will cheer you on when you need it. Putting together an exercise routine of your own can be scary. A great confidence booster is working with someone who is not only well versed in fitness but who is also very interested in seeing you succeed.

Use Wii Fit! Whether or not you want to believe it, this game is a godsend for people just starting out on the road to fitness. You can use this game to get in a full exercise routine right in your living room. It also teaches you some basic maneuvers so that, if you do decide to move to a public space to do your workout, you will have some knowledge under your belt. Working out in public is something that scares many people. Wii Fit helps you avoid this problem.

Getting in a full fitness routine has never been easier. Even if you don?t like the idea of Wii Fit there are plenty of other options available on the Wii system.

Fitness involves your whole life. There is more to fitness than going for a jog a few times a week. Fitness involves a healthy diet, healthy choices and a regular exercise routine. You have lots of options when it comes to finding success at fitness. Don?t forget that there is more to fitness than simply working out on a regular basis! Before you go, be sure to read our Bodylastics review.

88% Miss Bala

Miss Bala (Mexico's foreign film entry for 2011) is an unwavering, startling, and deeply tense movie about one woman's tragic and unwilling association with a powerful drug cartel. Laura (Stephanie Sigman) wants to be the next Miss Baja California, but she's unwittingly pulled into a life of crime after she witnesses a gang hit. The cartel ensures that Laura wins the beauty pageant and becomes a courier for them. The movie takes a Lars von Trier approach to storytelling, putting its heroine through a torture chamber of anxiety and terror. This woman only wants to escape the hell she has accidentally found herself a part of, but every attempt to escape, be it going to the police or confessing assassination plots to the intended targets, gets her corralled back into the fray. For Laura, there is no escape. The movie packs a near-constant surge of paranoia, as we fear that at any time something awful will happen. In fact it's usually only a matter of time. Laura is more a symbol of the collateral damage of Mexico's billion-dollar drug war than a character, and she kind of becomes a numb zombie by the movie's latter half, perhaps accepting her doomed fate. Director Gerado Naranjo favors long unwinding takes and handheld cameras, which add a gritty realism and sense of compounding dread to the picture. The movie has an unflinching level of realism to it that makes it all the more haunting, stripping the romanticism from a life of crime. Much like Italy's heralded crime film Gomorrah, this bleak but impassioned movie shows the inescapable tentacles of organized crime and gives a face to innocents caught in the middle. Miss Bala is a testament to the hidden toll of a nation at war with itself. Nate's Grade: B+
