What is the No. 1 dream job of British men? Well the answer is related to the photo below

Our world has changed a lot, and we know that. We used to write on papers, send slow mail, and travel by rocky paths, but now people uses tablet for schools, and send emails, and travel by high speed bullet trains. But what's funny is this news. Kids used to dream of becoming doctors, engineers, well probably some will say Indiana Jones and Rocky Balboa. But the peeps these days are slightly different, in a big way.

Apparently being a presenter on the hit TV BBC show Top Gear is the dream job of nearly a third of British men isn't surprising in the least.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Within images get leaked

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Within images get leaked

We've known for quite a while that the Samsung Galaxy S II was headed to the big US carriers. It was pretty obvious just from looking at the original Galaxy S and its distribution stateside, but we also got a leak stating as much back in May. As with its predecessor, the Galaxy S II would also get a different name on each carrier. Sprint's Samsung Galaxy Within will be one of those. And it may be released later this month, if a previous rumor is to be believed. Today's leak certainly gives credence to the fact that the Within is coming soon.

This is my next allegedly received a couple pictures of that device.

The 10.1-inch Acer Iconia Tab Android-powered tablet comes in two versions, the A500 which is Wi-Fi-only, and the A501, which also features mobile data connectivity. The most widely spread internal storage capacity for both models is 32 GB, but we recently saw a 16 GB model launch in the UK. And now it looks like Acer is prepping to add yet another storage capacity option, to the A501 at least. An Acer Iconia Tab A501 with 64 GB of storage has recently passed through the FCC.

The HP Pre 3 was announced all the way back in February, yet unlike the HP TouchPad and the HP Veer that were also announced at the same time, HP's flagship smartphone still isn't available anywhere. In the UK, we heard that it would launch on July 8, but that obviously hasn't happened and there were rumors of a delay until the end of this month. Now we know what the cause of that delay may be. It turns out that an important spec has now changed, at least according to HP's own product listing for the Pre 3 in the UK.

Samsung Galaxy S II is heading into space, LIVE

Samsung is right this very moment sending one of its Galaxy S II phones up into orbit, by tethering it to a space balloon and setting it free. At the time of writing, the S II is just over 23km above the planet and relaying back live video (of a sort). It's all very exciting. There's an interactive web thing charting the balloon's progress and height online here, which promises to relay select tweets and possibly display them on the phone screen. WHILE IN SPACE! Here's a slightly ropey grab from the live video stream:

Images of purported iPad 3 parts emerge, reveal design changes

Images of what are claimed to be parts from an unreleased third-generation Apple iPad have been posted on the Web by Taiwanese tech site Apple.pro. The site has a history of accessing authentic parts from China-based Apple product manufacturers and publishing images of the parts before the related devices are made official by Apple. The part obtained in this instance is a new connector cable with a tip that is white in color, thus leading Apple.pro to speculate that the new iPad 3 will launch in both black and white like the current iPad 2 model.

OMA's Monarch loudspeakers look pretty unique

OMA's Monarch loudspeakers look pretty unique

When it comes to speaker systems, usually the more "out there" the design, the more likely it will cost you a pretty penny, since it's more than likely that exotic woods and metals are used for the construction, along with the hours of labor put into it. So if you're looking for a pair of unique looking speakers, these butterfly-shaped speakers, dubbed the Monarch (after the actual Monarch butterfly), will probably not disappoint in the looks department. The speakers are made of OMA's proprietary cast aluminum alloy and their compression driver is said to be able to cover midrange to high frequencies with ease.

Judge denies Apple's request to speed up its suit against Samsung

Apple's lawyers in its lawsuit against Samsung are an impatient bunch. First, they asked the court for an accelerated discovery process so they could get their hands on Sammy's forthcoming products ASAP. Then they filed a motion to trim the time until trial and asked for an order shortening the time to file the briefs for that motion. Yesterday, the court told Apple to slow its roll by denying its request to compress the briefing schedule.

Someone managed to be a screen ninja for the day, sending Kotaku an image of what could very well be the replacement model for the 160GB PlayStation 3. In this image are wordings of rumored replacement model, known only as the “K” chassis. What makes the K chassis so different from current models would be to have customers make compulsory use of an HDMI cable to play a game or enjoy a Full HD movie. To put it in a nutshell, component out will no longer be part of the game, leaving HDMI as the only avenue to get your High Definition viewing fix.

DiaForce film could possibly provide an alternative to electromagnetic guitar pickups

Have you ever wondered why is it that you can never recreate the guitar solo of your favorite song despite practicing for months. Musicians would like to tell you that perhaps it's because you lack the "feel" of the song, which is unique to the artist who wrote it. While that sounds plausible from an artist's perspective, in terms of science, perhaps you have not managed to bend your strings to the exact pitch or give enough vibrato.

After letting what seemed to be the proverbial cat out of the bag via their Romanian Twitter yesterday, Samsung is backtracking on comments posted that indicated the company would manufacturer the next Nexus device and it would feature a Super AMOLED HD display. It turns out that the tweet wasn't intended as an announcement and was rather meant to engage in a conversation on current Nexus 3 rumors.

Back in May, when the new platform was announced, Microsoft said that it would be available "this fall.". However, speaking at a Microsoft event (Imagine Cup 2011) recently, Steve Ballmer didn't use "fall" when discussing about the arrival of the second generation of Windows Phone handsets. He only said that they're "coming out this Christmas."
