- TWCable TV app update brings captions, search, and parental controls
Time Warner has been streaming live TV to the iPad with its TWCable TV app since March and the most recent update brings even more traditional TV standbys to the tablet experience. Now live in v2.5.0 is a basic search function (titles or episode name only, keywords, cast and crew are coming soon), support for closed captions and the ability to block certain channels on the app for parents. There’s also a few bug fixes for those experiencing audio issues or not seeing their HD channels in the lineup — subscribers can check out the official blog for more details or just grab the free app on iTunes.

Time Warner Cable Untangled, iTunes | Email this | Comments - Samsung Stratosphere lays it all out with spec sheet treatment
The upcoming Samsung Stratosphere for Verizon Wireless is hardly a secret, but other than a few rumored details, the specs for this LTE-equipped QWERTY slider have remained a bit of a mystery. Now, all that has changed, thanks in large part to its leaked spec sheet from Big Red — just take a peek after the break. It’ll be packing a 4-inch Super AMOLED display with WVGA resolution, a (presumably) single-core 1GHz processor, along with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a 4GB microSD card that’s pre-installed. Curiously, it’ll be the first of Verizon’s LTE phones to incorporate a Micro SIM in place of the larger, traditional offering. Other than that, it looks as if the speculation of Android 2.3, along with its 5MP rear / 1.3MP front cams were dead on. There will also be an LED flash in tow, although video capture will be limited to a rather mundane 480p. That said, if you’re thirsting for speed but are needing a keyboard, the Stratosphere is looking like your obvious (albeit only) choice.

- Boston Dynamics Alpha Dog makes Alyx Vance’s pet look like a toy (video)
Boston Dynamics’ BigDog is one of our favorite insane-level DARPA projects; a robotic pack-mule that can carry 400 pounds of kit for troops. At some point, the Massachusetts mechanics decided the bot would be far better if it was the size of a bull, or, you know, an SUV. The Alpha Dog loses the un-stealthy buzzing noise of its predecessor, has a range of 20 miles and can take much more punishment. If you check out the video after the break, you’ll see two people unsuccessfully attempt a takedown on the monster — Half-Life 2 diehards might experience a combat flashback at the mere sight of it. AT-AT Jr is expected to see field testing sometime next year when it won’t have a test bed of rocks to contend with, but the US Marines. Mark our words: we expect ’em to appear in every nightmarish dystopia of the 2020s, and take a starring role in the forthcoming Robopocalypse.Continue reading Boston Dynamics Alpha Dog makes Alyx Vance’s pet look like a toy (video)

Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Lite 5G and Mi 11i get an enthusiastic reception
Last week’s poll shows that camera features and 5G connectivity are key factors when choosing a new phone these days – especially an expensive flagship. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has impressive camera hardware, which earned it a very positive reception by fans. The €1,200 price tag is going to be tough to swallow, though, which is why many were asking about the Mi 11 Pro. Currently, Xiaomi has seemingly no intention to launch the Pro globally, so for most of the world it is not an option. The Mi 11 Ultra is €450 more expensive than the vanilla Mi 11. That one has a fairly large sensor of...
