HTC Speedy a Knight in Sprint armor coming January 6th?

We were just getting used to HTC Knight when along comes more supposed details of the still-unconfirmed slider. Boy Genius Report has what it claims is a leaked accessories list from Sprint that reveals a case for the Knight is due on January 6th, 2011. Does that mean the phone itself is launching on the same date? Would that date have something to do with the start of CES? Oh, and BGR also claims from a source the Knight is getting a new title. What do you think about the HTC Speedy -- descriptive, eh? As far as we can tell, there isn't really much else to go by at this point, so our jump to conclusion will just have to stay under the bed for now.

Circular Chopping Knife Great for Herbs, Murder

This donut-shaped mincing knife is meant to be used for finely chopping herbs or anything else that has to be cut down to an almost paste-like texture. It’s pretty, has a blade-cover that protects you from the sharp edge and the sharp edge from the other knives in the drawer, and it is most likely [...]

Evernote strikes it rich, secures $20 million in funding

Filed under: Productivity

If you're an Evernote fan, their official blog has some good news this morning: the wildly popular cloud-centric note taking app has secured a cool $20 million in funding.

That's a big chunk of cash, and Evernote plans on putting it to good use. "Things are moving pretty quickly at Evernote," Phil Libin writes. "They're about to start moving even faster." Count on seeing more features and support for more devices coming in the very near future.

But Evernote isn't stopping there. Libin mentions a lofty new ambition for the app: to become "the global platform for human memory." Evernote wants to be the app to use when it comes to preserving your memories digitally, and it will be interesting to watch its evolution going forward.

Wolfram Alpha in a Nutshell helps you explain Alpha to non-geeks

Filed under: web 2.0, Education

Wolfram Alpha is fantastic, but it has one big problem: it's not intuitive. I mean, the interface is intuitive enough - it's a Google-esque single text field where you type anything you want. However, the average Web user has become so conditioned to search engines that what Alpha does is not always fully apparent. After all, when you search for something in Alpha you don't get a page with links. You get a bunch of tables, graphs, facts, and figures - the results are right there.

When you use Alpha for the first time, it all becomes quite apparent. But how can you explain Alpha to someone who doesn't know what it is -- and who isn't nerdy enough to try it out on their own? In this new video (also embedded after the fold), the Wolfram crew tries to provide a definitive answer.

The video doesn't feel as polished as similar explanatory videos from Google, but then again, I guess the amount of resources Wolfram has doesn't really compare. Still, it is a good effort and it's an easy way to illustrate the concept.

Now, if they could just come up with a tagline that's a bit less clumsy than "computational knowledge engine"...

Simures lets you see and share websites in specific resolutions

Filed under: Design, web 2.0

So, what does your site look like on a tiny mobile device? And what does it look like on a 1024x768 display? Sure, if you're a nerdy Web developer you probably already have a Firefox add-on that resizes your window to the pixel-perfect viewport in the exact dimensions that you require. That's great, but how do you show it to your boss?

Simures is the answer. This link leads you to a 570px by 320px version of Download Squad, and it's very human-readable - simures.com/570x320/downloadsquad.com. I just love it when things have human-readable URLs. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, like the Web is becoming a friendlier, simpler place every day.

Warm and fuzzy feelings aside, Simures is a very valuable tool. I just wish it had a little button for changing the user agent so that I could quickly test Download Squad's mobile website on the desktop. That's really the only missing feature.

T-Mobile LG Optimus T breaks cover, gets benchmarked

We still don't have a firm sale date for the LG Optimus T (see our hands on here), but it's showing up in some T-Mobile locations, and even getting benchmarked.  It's clearly no speed demon, but our tipster says "Overall real-world system performance isn't too bad, though it obviously lacks horsepower."  We also are told the soft-touch coating feels pretty nice in the hand, and it's not full of nasty surprises in the app drawer.  It's clear that this one has entry level written all over it, but it does have some perks we can't overlook --  it ship with Froyo on board (nice work there LG), and my wife reminds me that it comes in purple.  Thanks to you-know-who!
