Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V Wagon breaks own Texas mile speed

John Hennessey recently returned to the Texas Mile with his 700-horsepower Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon for another shot at high-speed glory. The long-roof rocket managed to clip off a top speed of 189.7 miles per hour in the standing mile, which beat out last year's figure by a safe margin. That speed is certainly a feather worth sticking in the Hammer Wagon's cap, but it may not be the most impressive part of this story. Hennessey didn't trailer the CTS-V Sport Wagon to the track.

Sprint HTC EVO Design 4G hands-on

. We just got our hands on an HTC EVO Design 4G review unit from Sprint - the latest member of Sprint's EVO family of Android smartphones - and we were instantly reminded of the HTC Incredible on Verizon Wireless upon opening the box. Though the EVO Design 4G lacks an AMOLED display and is noticeably longer, the resemblance is unmistakable. The phone is a bit fat for a device that doesn't offer a full QWERTY keyboard though, and we can't figure out why it's so chunky. In any case, it certainly feels very solid, no doubt thanks to the metal that hugs the back of the phone and runs around its entire body.

Researchers use the iPhone 4 used as a keylogging device

There exists malware for computers that log keystrokes, which is used to determine passwords and credit card numbers. There also exists malware on our smartphones that log calls and text messages, but interestingly a team of researchers at Georgia Tech managed to use the iPhone 4 to log keystrokes from a keyboard simply by placing the device near the user's keyboard. This is accomplished through the use of the iPhone 4's accelerometer and gyroscope, which was why their attempt with the iPhone 4 proved to be more successful compared to the iPhone 3GS, which lacked a gyroscope built-in.
