HTC HD2 hands-on and impressions... on video!
by Joshua Topolsky posted Oct 6th 2009 at 6:07PM
We had a chance to give HTC’s newest darling device — the Windows Mobile 6.5-sporting HD2 — a more thorough hands-on today, and we wanted to share our impressions. Firstly, we must say that HTC has done perhaps its most ambitious skinning job ever here. So while this does run atop Windows Mobile 6.5, you rarely see the OS poking through the gorgeous new Sense user interface the company has created. If you’re used to TouchFLO 3D (or Sense on Android), this should seem old hat to you, but keep in mind there are some major changes here that dramatically affect the Windows Mobile experience. As you probably already know, the Snapdragon-based device sports a 1GHz MSM8250 CPU, a massive, 800 x 480 capacitive display (with multitouch functionality thanks to more tinkering from HTC), a 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flashes, a 3.5mm headphone jack, FM tuner, and GPS chip on-board. We were frankly blown away with how slick this phone is. Mind you, WM 6.5 still shows its not-so-fresh colors here and there, but the general experience of using the device is handled mainly through the Sense interface, and it blows the hinges off of any other Windows phone experience we’ve had. Ever. From the lag-free gestures which get you around the device, to image pinching and zooming with that aforementioned multitouch, the hesitation-free jumps in and out of applications, and typing on the sprawling, HTC-ified onscreen keyboard, using the HD2 is a joy. There’s no getting around the fact that the phone is still very much anchored to Windows Mobile, but what HTC has done here is nothing short of a revelation. Why Robbie Bach didn’t bring this up on stage today at Microsoft’s open house event is anyone’s guess — though we have to imagine that when your OS is this heavily gutted (HTC has even completely removed stock apps like calendar and contacts and replaced them with its own versions, and the company had to hand-roll the capacitive / multitouch interfacing), it might not be the best example of what you’ve done. We’ll be waiting with bated breath till we get more hands-on time with this phone, but until then, we can all enjoy some lengthy video of the device in action… so check it out after the break.

Study: OMG Women Have Faces!?
Sep 9 2009Study: OMG Women Have Faces!?
MORE: always check for a dipstick, body, boobies, cause i’m a boy and i’m a man, face, first impressions, human body, interesting, man, men, news, not gonna lie — i love those things, om nom nom, report, study, womens
In a unshocking report released by the New Zealand’s University of Wellington, researchers found that most men don’t know that women have faces. Only breasts. Haha! But seriously — what’s a face?
Researchers found that virtually half - 47 per cent - of men first glance at a woman’s breasts. A third of the “first fixations” are on the waist and hips, while fewer than 20 per cent look at the woman’s face.
Not only are breasts often the first thing men look at, they also glance at them for longer than any other body part, the experts discovered, the Daily Mail newspaper in the UK reported.Hey, different strokes for different folks (I always check for a penis first).
Scientific proof that men look at women’s breasts first and their face is almost last [dailytelegraph]Thanks to deadbodyman, who’s still not convinced women have faces. OR BREASTS (foot fetish).

Illumine, by iKon, is a WinterBoard theme that that contains 2,537 icons, 2 docks, status bar, 6 wallpapers, badges, lock screen battery, page dots… etc. There a quite a few things to note about this theme.
First off, once you install the theme, you get a few options in WinterBoard including; the theme itself, a weathicon mod background, an SMS icon for 3.x firmware, the option for the no-glow dialpad and the option for a green dialpad.
Second, this theme “mods” all icons (except web clips). It makes all icons small with a glow below them. Not every icon is necessarily designed specifically for the theme (though, it does contain 2,537 icons!) but, at least they all have the same shape and look! I love when themes do that!
Third, the theme does contain an icon template. The .psd file is located in the Library/Themes/illumine.theme folder.
Forth, the designer of the theme updates it quite often. To get updates and support you can head over to his website.
You can get Illumine via the modmyi source.
How to Install
1. Your device must be jailbroken. (how?)
2. Make sure you have WinterBoard installed via Cydia.
2. Make sure you have the modmyi source installed in Cydia.
3. Search for Illumine in Cydia, run the install.
4. Open WinterBoard and activate the Illumine Theme.ScreenShots
