- Acer Aspire V3 coming to Japan for $1,100 with right processor, wrong ppi
Want a 2.1GHz Ivy Bridge Core i7 in your next media laptop? Mmm, yes please. And a 1080p LED backlit display to devour movies on? Well, of course. Then keep looking, because the Acer Aspire V3 maxes out at just 1366 x 768 — despite being equipped with a Blu-ray spinner and Dolby Theater v4, and also despite the eye-popping competition. Then again, at 15.6-inches that resolution might not be a total deal-breaker, plus our hands-on taster at CeBIT (before we even knew about the Ivy Bridge internals) wasn’t totally unpleasant. The HD 4000 graphics should give you the odd gaming snack, even if not a full meal, while a 750GB HDD, up to 8GB RAM and a ton of I/O options take care of the back room. The V3 will hit Japanese shelves on April 29th for around $1,100 — but watch out for a 17-incher too (which will do 1080p) plus cheaper Core i5 variants coming later.

- Reuters: Apple in talks to stream films owned by Epix, no deal expected before September
It’s reasonably well known at this point that Apple is looking to line up partnerships for some sort of a streaming video service. We’ve heard again and again that it’s coming, so get ready to hum along with that ‘ol tune one more time. Reuters is reporting that Apple has been in negotiations with Epix since earlier this year, hoping to secure access to films from Lions Gate, MGM and Paramount Pictures. There’s no indication of when such a service might come to light, but Reuters indicates the company’s current deal with Netflix, which expires on September 1st, could be a conflict (though that hasn’t stopped Google TV in the past). So, no proper Apple-branded TV until the fall? Stay tuned…

Reuters | Email this | Comments - AT&T stockholders vote down net neutrality proposal
AT&T stockholders took to the ballot box today at their annual meeting and voted not only to reelect the entire board of directors, but also on a number of measures concerning how the company should conduct business. Chief amongst them was a provision that would have required the carrier to operate its network according to the tenets of net neutrality. Unfortunately for you (unless you’re an AT&T exec), the proposal was voted down by a pretty stunning margin. 94.1 percent of shareholders opposed, with only 5.9 casting their voice in favor of true network neutrality. For more info check out the PR after the break.

Realme X9's slim profile teased by company CEO
Realme will launch a new X series, and we know from internal sources it will be Realme X9. Madhav Sheth, CEO in India and Europe, has posted a photo on his Twitter, revealing a slim profile of the phone - it will be as thick as six credit cards, stacked on top of each other.

There’s also the company slogan “Dare to Leap” in big letter, and we are sure this will be the paint job we’ll see the most in promo materials. Realme...
