Leaked more than a few times, and then being spotted in the wild earlier this month it was only a matter of time until we caught it on video. Today we have not one, but two videos showing some T-Mobile 4G speedtests and more all available after the break.</div>

Earlier this week on Monday T-Mobile officially announced the new HTC Amaze 4G, coming to the market on October 10th as their first smartphone capable of their new HSPA+ 42 Mbps network speeds. Along with a 4.3″ qHD display and a blazing fast 1.5 GHz dual-core processor this looks to be the new king of the hill over at T-Mobile. Thanks to an anonymous youtuber we now have some videos for you below.</div>

Don’t those speedtest results look impressive? That is faster than the recently reviewed DROID Bionic with Verizon 4G LTE if the tests are accurate. Quadrant results are pretty decent too racking in around 2400 although I’d expect it to be a bit faster with that new 1.5 GHz dual-core processor. Maybe he should use Quadrant Advanced.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Not only that but Ktwist311 wasn’t done with that and has also provided another video showing browser performance based on the new networks speeds and they seem quite great too. Obviously location and many other factors play a role here but it’s nice to get a few early looks of HTC’s newest Flagship smartphone headed to T-Mobile.</div>

This time with much better lighting for everyone to enjoy.</div>

BMW's been teasing us with its vision for electric motoroing for years, and today, folks, the trend continues. The German automaker has unveiled two concepts from its upcoming i sub-brand: the city-dwelling i3 and a rehashed version of its i8. This is the first time we've officially seen the smaller of the two, as the car formerly known as the Megacity had only been spied in an official render and during routine testing at the arctic circle. It'll haul four peeps with its 150km range (around 100 miles) and accelerate from 0-60mph in around 8 seconds. As for those with range anxiety, the German company will soothe such fears with an optional range-extending motor dubbed "REx." Either variant could land in your garage in 2013, where you'll be able top them up in 6 hours with a standard socket, or up to eighty percent in an hour if you're rocking a spiffy high capacity charger.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The i8, which you'll recall for its radical aerodynamic design and hybrid diesel-electric drivetrain, has received a bevy of aerodynamic tweaks and junked its oil burner, opting for a gasoline one instead. Engine swap aside, the sporty coup</div>

Many simpler forms of life on this planet, including some of our earliest ancestors, don't have proper brains. Instead they have networks of neurons that fire in response to stimuli, triggering reactions. Scientists from Caltech have actually figured out how to create such a primitive pre-brain using strands of DNA. Researchers, led by Lulu Qian, strung together DNA molecules to create bio-mechanical circuits. By sequencing the four bases of our genetic code in a particular way, they were able to program it to respond differently to various inputs. To prove their success the team quizzed the organic circuit, essentially playing 20 questions, feeding it clues to the identity of a particular scientist using more DNA strands. The artificial neural network nailed answer every time. Check out the PR and pair of videos that dig a little deeper into the experiment after the break.</div>

DARPA's XC2V FLYPMode crowd-sourced combat vehicle revealed, now in desert khaki (video)

<div><img alt="DARPA's XC2V FLYPMode crowd-sourced combat vehicle revealed, now in desert khaki (video)" class="aligncenter" height="248" src="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/86/localmotorsxc2vflypmode.jpg" style="margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: 4px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid;" width="330" /></div><br/>Okay, so perhaps the specific color here is up for debate, but one thing is clear: the XC2V FLYPMode is one imposing looking vehicle. Also known as the Experimental Crowd-derived Combat Support Vehicle, DARPA has billed this mean machine as the "first crowd-sourced, militarily relevant vehicle design." After being selected as the winning entry to DARPA's design-the-next-Humvee competition, Local Motors tricked out the XC2V FLYPMode in just 14 weeks. For now, it is but a "proof of principle project," meaning we probably won't see this thing riding dirty in the desert anytime soon, if ever. You can, however, see at least a portion of the beast's birth in a time-lapse video after the break.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/26/darpas-xc2v-flypmode-crowd-sourced-combat-vehicle-revealed-now/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>
