Is this RIM's BlackBerry 10 development device?

Image

You know the drill -- grab yourself a spoonful of Morton's and get ready for another supposed leak of a gadget. This time around, you're looking at what's claimed as being of Research In Motion's BlackBerry 10 "Development Alpha" devices that will be handed out during next week's BlackBerry Jam -- just like the company promised a month ago. Images of the device first surfaced over at Crackberry's forums and, as the site points out, the touchscreen candy bar seems to share its design DNA with the PlayBook. Keeping in mind that it's likely to remain a testing device for devs, don't bank on it ever hitting store shelves. That said, we're now curious how pivotal a roll RIM's famous tactile keyboards will play on its next-generation phones -- if any. Head over to the sources links below if you'd like to catch more photos from Mr. Blurrycam and extra information in the meantime.

Acer Aspire V3 coming to Japan for $1,100 with right processor, wrong ppi

Image

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.

Wiz Khalifa: Arrested For Marijuana Possession


Rapper Wiz Khalifa tried and failed to hide a bag of weed in his room at a Holiday Inn in Nashville, Tenn., according to police officials who arrested him.

According to a police report, Metro Nashville Police responded to Wiz's room on April 21 after someone complained about "a strong odor of marijuana."

When the officers arrived to the scene, Wiz (real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz) allegedly tossed a "marijuana cigarette" out of the window. Clever move!

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa

Cops say they recovered the item tossed by the rapper, and that "inside the rolling paper was a green leafy substance consistent with marijuana."

According to the report, Wiz (seen above with fiancee Amber Rose) admitted the joint was his and said he had 3.7 grams of weed in his pocket.

Khalifa is typically very open about his marijuana use - not sure how he didn't make our 4/20 celebrity stoner tribute - and was hit with a citation.

No word if the rapper smoked more after the police left, but if he did, he probably made sure to turn the fan on at least. Small victories, cops.
