Here are the latest reports on Police arrest man in killing of Las Vegas mother and 10-year-old daughter
LAS VEGAS – Police say they’ve arrested a 22-year-old man suspected of killing of a mother and her daughter in their Las Vegas home last week. The department said Friday that Bryan Clay was arrested on child abuse charges and will be charged Saturday in connection with the murders of 38-year-old Ignacia Martinez and 10-year-old Karla Martinez. The two were found dead April 16 inside their blood-spattered home on Robin Street after the woman’s 9-year-old son went to school and reported their deaths. The woman’s husband was critically…

Here are the latest reports on PlayBook controlled robo-buggy can see you smiling at it (video)
If iRobot tickled your fancy, but you don’t have the budget for military-grade technology, how about this fella? So, it’s not officially called PlayRobot, but if there was a naming convention, we guess that would be it. The buggy has a mounted camera, which relays video back to a PlayBook over a WiFi connection set up via a BlackBerry 9900. The six-wheeler is controlled by an on-screen joystick, much like many tablet versions of arcade games. It’s an entrant into this weekend’s Robot Challenge in Vienna, so thanks to that video link, at the very least, if it doesn’t win they can’t say they didn’t see it coming.

Audi A3 with MMI Touch gesture-based entertainment system hands-on (video)

Here are the latest reports on Audi A3 with MMI Touch gesture-based entertainment system hands-on (video)
CeBIT isn’t an auto show in the traditional sense, but we are in Germany after all, so we weren’t terribly surprised to see Audi roll up with a brand new car. The latest A3 made its worldwide debut today, bringing with it that wheel-based menu navigation interface we saw in its prototype phase. The touchpad sits atop the jog-wheel and shrinks things down considerably compared to the original version found in the 7-series. To keep things nice and safe, Audi devised a system that recognizes letters you draw with your finger, enabling drivers keep their eyes on the road while selecting music, making calls or setting a destination in the GPS. Also, as is apparently the norm these days, there’s Facebook and Twitter integration — the car can even read updates as you drive. If you know, you can’t wait until you’re parked.
As you might have gathered, the A3 is a connected vehicle, with a SIM slot or Bluetooth connection providing the car’s link to the outside world. It offers another curious addition, too: a “Phone Box” signal boosting system. Details are sparse, but we do know there’s an external antenna that relays the signal back to the handset. That particular feature is compatible with any phone you care to toss inside, and requires a wired connection only for charging (the box itself is amplified, so anything that sits within the enclosure will reap those boosting benefits). We managed to get the first hands-on demo with the car, and you can see all those new toys in the video and galleries below.

Live from Camp Pendleton with ViaSat SurfBeam 2 Pro Portable (video)

Here are the latest reports on Live from Camp Pendleton with ViaSat SurfBeam 2 Pro Portable (video)
There’s no power outlet, land-based internet connection or even a decent cell signal in sight, yet we’re posting this live, at fast broadband speeds. We’re miles deep into Camp Pendleton, connected to ViaSat’s SurfBeam 2 Pro Portable mobile satellite transceiver and sending data to and from ViaSat-1 located more than 20,000 miles above our heads. SurfBeam 2 wasn’t designed for us to kick back and surf the web in the middle of nowhere at speeds that we could barely achieve while tethered to a cable connection just a few years ago, but we’re doing just that, with ViaSat’s roughly $20,000 go-anywhere satellite broadband rig. We first heard about Pro Portable last month at CES, which the company is marketing towards military, emergency management personnel and even broadcasters — that’s right, the sat truck of the future fits inside a hand-carry suitcase, and sends HD video from the world’s most remote locations right back to broadcast centers at record speed, nearly eliminating that lag that makes certain CNN reports painful to watch.
Pro Portable really can go anywhere — disassembled, it fits inside a fairly modest suitcase, but screw it together and you have a full-size dish. There’s also a four-port Ethernet router and an optional battery pack, which provides up to four hours of juice. Think of it as Exede broadband for far-off-the-grid types. Sadly, Pro Portable isn’t priced low enough to make its way into your on-the-go blogger kit, but it costs a small fraction of the million dollars you can spend on a sat truck, which rents for thousands of dollars a day. It’s also far more transportable and discrete, offering consistent 12 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload speeds nearly anywhere in North America. How can SurfBeam 2 hold up during a bandwidth-intensive HD upload? See for yourself just past the break — our 230MB hands-on video made its way from the ground to space and back to Viddler in just shy of 13 minutes, and our Skype video call looked fantastic, without any noticeable lag.

LikeBelt concept encourages a very physical kind of Facebook liking (video)

Here are the latest reports on LikeBelt concept encourages a very physical kind of Facebook liking (video)
This is the LikeBelt: a concept device that inserts an NFC chip into a belt-buckle. Instead of tapping your mobile device on a “check-in” tag, you get the belt buckle close enough to do the same. There are only two downsides: how close you have to get and where most people’s belts are situated. Suffice to say, the Quagmire-style movements required to ensure a connection aren’t the sort of thing you’d do in front of your parents, priest or spouse. The creators provide instructions on how to build your own at the source link, but before you consider it, we insist you watch the video of it in action after the break. No, seriously.
