iPad mini rumored for fall, priced at $249 to $300

The latest half-baked rumors from China are suggesting once again that Apple is preparing to kick off an iPad mini this fall, with an initial shipment of 6 million units. The supposed $249 - $299 price point would compete nicely with the lower-end Android tablets that are coming out of the woodwork, and meet upcoming Windows 8 tablets head-on.

Transformer Prime's GPS fix turns out to be less of a dongle, more of a growth

ASUS Transformer Prime GPS

It's time to ask yourself a question: How badly do you need an official solution to the ASUS Transformer Prime's GPS woes? Landofdroid has snagged some pics of what they say will be the official fix -- a GPS add-on that connects to the Android tablet's data port and sure as hell shouldn't be considered a "dongle" by any definition. That, friends, is a wart. A growth. A malformation of epic proportions. On the other hand, if it actually fixes GPS, then it's a good thing. (At the very least it's increased the Prime's radar reflectivity by an order of magnitude.)

If upsetting the otherwise sleek lines of the Transformer Prime is just too much to ask, there's always that unofficial software tweak that also seems to be getting the job done.

Conn. lawmakers vote to repeal death penalty

By Reuters

Updated at 11:20 p.m. ET: HARTFORD, Conn. -- The Connecticut House of Representatives gave final legislative approval on Wednesday to repeal of the state's death penalty, moving it one step closer to becoming the fifth U.S. state in five years to abandon capital punishment.

The 86-62 vote in the Democratic-controlled House followed last week's Senate vote and sends the bill to Governor Dannel Malloy, who has vowed to sign it into law.


The House move follows a 20-16 vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate on April 5 to repeal the death penalty. Once Malloy sings the bill into law, Connecticut will become the fifth U.S. state in five years to abandon capital punishment.

Connecticut's measure would replace the death penalty with life in prison without the possibility of parole. An amendment added in the Senate provided that future felons, convicted of life sentences without parole, would be subject to the same harsh conditions as Connecticut inmates now on Death Row.

The 11 men there now would still face execution, since the law would only apply to future sentences.

A similar bill was defeated last year in Connecticut, just as the high-profile trial of Joshua Komisarjevsky was getting under way for his role in a 2007 home invasion in Cheshire in which a mother and her two daughters were brutalized and killed.

Komisarjevsky and another man are now on Death Row for the murders. The only survivor of the Cheshire attack, Dr. William Petit Jr. - the husband of the murdered woman and the father of the murdered girls - has spoken out against repeal.

Illinois, New Mexico and New Jersey have all voted to abolish the death penalty in recent years, while New York's death penalty law was declared unconstitutional in 2004. That state's legislature has repeatedly rejected attempts to reinstate capital punishment.
