In an interview with the Independent, Scott said he hoped Ford would take a guest role in the planned project. "I don't think it'll be Harry [starring]," he said. "But I've got to have him in it somewhere. That'd be amusing." It emerged earlier this year that Ford was in talks for the new Blade Runner film, which has since been revealed as a sequel with a female protagonist at its core. The actor, now 69, played the lead role of replicant hunter Rick Deckard in Scott's classic 1982 future noir. Scott's involvement was revealed in March last year and followed his decision to return to science fiction film-making after three decades with Prometheus, a film "set in the same universe" as 1979 futuristic horror Alien.http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/18f29fcd5c288169af925a37445241dchttp://www.talkandroid.com/114027-engineer-uses-htc-one-x-display-as-a-hammer-and-drives-actual-nails-video/?utm_source=feedburner-ta&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums+%28Android+News%2C+Rumours%2C+and+Updates%29&utm_content=Google+ReaderlinkagenathanchantrellWed, 30 May 2012 11:44:29 PDThttp://www.delicious.com/url/deaa384cdbe1dec11bc11bf7b89e79b5#nathanchantrellBesides serving as a phone and a mobile computing device, have you ever wondered what other purposes the HTC One Xcould serve a user? How about a hammer for those annoying times you may want to drive a nail into some wood and you just so happened to be without and actual hammer? Well sure, this HTC engineer wants to show you that that is completely plausible. Not recommended, but plausible.http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/deaa384cdbe1dec11bc11bf7b89e79b5http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-05-28-bbc-news-mistakes-halo-unsc-logo-for-unlinkagelnathanchantrellTue, 29 May 2012 15:27:26 PDThttp://www.delicious.com/url/9e6ba4f6a2b780bec3b4678023fc58d1#nathanchantrellThe BBC has responded to its broadcast of a Halo logo during Thursday's News at One, admitting its mistake and apologising to viewers.

I was hiding out at a start-up called Virgin Internet, trying to work out how to bring Usenet to the masses, or something. I added people to the mailing list by hand, but stuck “-l” at the end of the subscribe email address to make it sound like it was a proper listserv. I still hear people say “listserv”, occasionally, and it sounds like they’re saying “thee” or “gadzooks” or something. People usually say at this point that it doesn’t seem like maxint years ago, but, to be honest, it does. It feels exactly fifteen years ago. What’s weird for me is that the three years before NTK came out feels even longer. 1994-1997 involved me going from being on the dole, to appearing in a one man show in the west end, doing TV, working at Wired, joining a startup. That, and the Internet went from being this funny little squeaky gopher thing to having internet addresses on adverts. On adverts!

During this period it has been used by thousands of users world-wide, who published tens of amazing projects. IOIO has become the first and leading product for interfacing Android with external hardware. Several software / firmware upgrades have been successfully rolled out, which added new features and fixed bugs. Two different manufacturers (SparkFun, Jaycon Systems) currently make IOIOs and an alternative form factor boards from SeeedStudio are just starting to sell. A book has been published on making Android accessories with IOIO. I've given a few workshops on IOIO, one of which at the MIT Media Lab, which has always been a dream place for me. Quite a trip! I was expecting something much more modest when I started, but happily jumped on the train.http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/7014200592083488648360dbc77f0adehttp://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/05/26/us-climate-germany-solar-idUKBRE84P0FI20120526linkagevia:packrati.usnathanchantrellSat, 26 May 2012 17:09:37 PDThttp://www.delicious.com/url/d0d1b92b2d6a3870dcf69a4677ea6389#nathanchantrellGerman solar power plants produced a world record 22 gigawatts of electricity per hour - equal to 20 nuclear power stations at full capacity - through the midday hours on Friday and Saturday, the head of a renewable energy think tank said. The German government decided to abandon nuclear power after the Fukushima nuclear disaster last year, closing eight plants immediately and shutting down the remaining nine by 2022. They will be replaced by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and bio-mass.http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/d0d1b92b2d6a3870dcf69a4677ea6389http://www.talkandroid.com/113457-schmidt-says-a-lot-more-focus-on-android-with-the-future-of-motorola-mobility/?utm_source=feedburner-ta&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums+%28Android+News%2C+Rumours%2C+and+Updates%29&utm_content=Google+ReaderlinkagenathanchantrellThu, 24 May 2012 12:47:31 PDThttp://www.delicious.com/url/bf770781f3d34a250d827a1a5ce8c4e0#nathanchantrellThe world is eagerly awaiting to see what Google does now that the company has successfully acquired Motorola Mobility, especially OEM’s like LG, HTC, Samsung and more.  Who can blame them for thinking there’s a possibility that Motorola could gain the upper hand if they obtain inside access to Android’s latest builds of the operating system?  And while though Google’s plans are still unknown to the masses, there are still rumors afloat that the search giant may consider selling off the handset portion to Huawei as well as the cable box portion to another lucky bidder.  In recent news, The Guardian has quoted Google’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, stating that Motorola will have “more investment in products and a lot more focus on Android and the tools even than they have today.”  This seems to be corroborated with what newly-appointed Motorola Mobility CEO, Dennis Woodside, stated when the deal was final.http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/bf770781f3d34a250d827a1a5ce8c4e0http://www.talkandroid.com/113260-the-verdict-is-in-google-did-not-breach-oracle-patents/?utm_source=feedburner-ta&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums+%28Android+News%2C+Rumours%2C+and+Updates%29&utm_content=Google+ReaderlinkagenathanchantrellWed, 23 May 2012 17:01:28 PDThttp://www.delicious.com/url/d8ec4ab167f7a0adcead13ea6723867a#nathanchantrellNot Guilty. Finally the two words that Android fans worldwide were waiting to hear have been uttered, bringing and end to lengthy court case . After a week long deliberation the jury in California ruled in favour of Google declaring that the search giant did not infringe on Oracle’s patents with Android. Earlier this month we brought you the news that the jury had concluded that Google had infringed on 37 separate API’s. The jury has since concluded that Google adequately demonstrated that it felt it was acting within the law due to its belief that it didn’t need a license to utilise java,http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/d8ec4ab167f7a0adcead13ea6723867ahttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18182280linkagevia:packrati.usRaspinathanchantrellWed, 23 May 2012 11:10:04 PDThttp://www.delicious.com/url/0ee9214636c1d529261c6a35a826975c#nathanchantrellDozens of teachers specialising in computer science are to work in English schools thanks to a partnership between Google and the charity Teach First. Google's chairman Eric Schmidt said money would also be provided to buy "teaching aids, such as Raspberry Pi's or Arduino starter kits". He said that without investment in the subject, the UK risked "losing a generation" of scientists. Mr Schmidt had previously criticised the country's ICT curriculum. He had said the UK was "throwing away [its] great computing heritage" by focusing on using software rather than how it was made.http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/url/0ee9214636c1d529261c6a35a826975c
