Nokia experiments with location-based white space services in Cambridge, UK (video)

Following news of the first successful white space trials in Cambridge, UK, Nokia is now touting its research in the area with a demonstration of location-based services for the unlicensed spectrum. Traditionally, proponents of white space usage have positioned this unused portion of the airwaves as a viable, low-cost method of data transmission, but the Nokia folks have now demonstrated its ability to pinpoint one's location with much greater accuracy than either WiFi or cellular networks. Think of it as a counterpoint to NFC, if you will, but in the following clip, we're shown how an individual might move throughout a museum, and as they approach various exhibits, one's smartphone could provide supplemental information for the nearby artifacts. Beyond its use in museums, Nokia also foresees the technology as useful in the retail space, where businesses may provide consumers with promotions as they walk by. Currently, the necessary equipment to make this all possible is much too large to fit within a typical smartphone, but Nokia hypothesizes that the necessary chipsets and industry standards may be in place by 2015. Until then, you can dream of what might be with the following video.

Adam Levine Responds to "Aggressive" Jennifer Love Hewitt

Adam Levine appeared on Ellen yesterday and the host wasted little time getting to the important issues with The Voice judge.

"Let's talk about the women that love you," DeGeneres said to cheers from the audience, specifically referring to Jennifer Love Hewitt's recent appearance on the show when she made it clear she'd be open to dating/doing Levine.

Is the artist, who recently split from Anne Vyalitsyna, interested?

"That was aggressive," Levine said, politely declining.  "It was really sweet and flattering. Beautiful life, you know, when a beautiful woman says nice things about you."

Note to Adam: Have you seen Jennifer Love Hewitt's breasts? You might want to reconsider.

Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan to Dine at the White House... Together

Fox News is determined to prove the Mayans right.

For reasons that defy comprehension - even more than how Gretchen Carlson still has a job - the network has invited two guests along with it for Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner: Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan. Moreover, they will be seated at the same table.

Yes, readers. Prepare for the Apocalypse.

Sources tell TMZ that Kim and Lindsay actually get along well, so don't expect any fireworks at the event.

But will Kardashian and Lohan actually meet President Obama?!? Will their photo op equate to this amazing one of a bar patron and Obama?

"No way. The President almost never mingles with the guests," an insider says.

Other stars, with actual talent, expected to attend on Saturday include: George Clooney, Reese Witherspoon, Viola Davis, Charlize Theron, Eva Longoria and Daniel Day-Lewis.

LG Optimus True HD LTE's European assault begins in Portugal, Germany and Sweden

While the latest LTE and HD equipped addition to LG's Optimus line has already landed across Asia (Korea, Japan) and North America (US - AT&T, US - Verizon, Canada) under a few different names, the newly rebranded Optimus True HD LTE is finally prepared for a European debut. As seen by the flags flying above, this week LG will begin rolling out to Portugal, Germany and Sweden, with Britain and France on deck for the second half of the year when LTE service is available. The other flags present represent further Asian rollouts in Hong Kong and Singapore. The plan, described in the Korean press release linked below (Update: English PR after the break), is apparently to make LG synonymous with LTE, although we can't see how renaming its current dual-core standard bearer every other week is helping.
