The 4-Inch iPhone: Why You Should Take This Rumor Seriously
This morning iLounge released some mockups of what they say the next iPhone is going to look like, according to its own unnamed sources. The main differences in appearance between the next iPhone and the current iPhone 4S? A metal back, a smaller dock connector, a 20 percent decrease in thickness ? and a longer, 4-inch display. Concept designs for future iPhones are a dime a dozen and usually look like something Syd Mead might have slapped together after a glue-induced aneurysm, But iLounge's concept looks pretty good. It may not prove to be an accurate prediction in the end, but it's a sensible proposal.

Logitech unveils its Solar Keyboard Folio for the new iPad and iPad 2, we go hands-on
There are all sorts of ways to go green these days, from driving an EV to installing super efficient light bulbs, and now Logitech's given us an environmentally friendly way to type tactilely on a tablet. It's a new iPad and iPad 2-friendly case called the Solar Keyboard Folio, which packs a Bluetooth keyboard powered by ambient light using the same solar cell tech found on the firm's computer keyboards. Once topped up with photons, Logitech claims its battery will keep you typing for over 1,000 hours even in complete darkness. The case is crafted of black, soft-touch, faux leather embossed with a small Logitech logo and has perforations for the iPad's speakers, plus a portal for the tablet's camera.
Its keyboard is made of gray plastic, and pecking at the grid is a similar experience to using the one found on Logitech's other recently released iPad typing peripheral, the Ultrathin Keyboard Cover. Buttons are short-throw and provide satisfying clicky feedback, but the space bar and shift keys have a hollow feel when pressed. Perhaps the Folio's most intriguing design feature is the feet on the corners of the cradle in which the iPad is placed. Those little nubs allow for two viewing angles -- your slate can be seated in a more upright position behind the keyboard for typing, or in the notches outside the two shift keys for a more obtuse viewing angle when the keyboard isn't needed. What's this bit of green gear cost? It goes on sale in the US and Europe this month with an MSRP of $130.

Angelina Hates The Ring!
It?s only been a few weeks since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced their engagement. But as she met with the foreign minister of Ecuador on April 22, the ring finger on her left hand was noticeably bare. While some claim she thought the $500,000 sparkler wasn?t appropriate for a serious meeting, everyone knows that engagement rings are meant to be worn always. So why did Angelina really ditch the ring that Brad, 48, helped design himself? ?She isn?t fond of it,? a friend confides to In Touch. ?Nothing against Brad?s design. She?s just never been enamored of white diamonds.?
Indeed, the friend says picky Angelina, 36, had been hoping for a less traditional stone. ?Emeralds are her favorite.? And she?s been complaining that Brad?s choice of the 10-carat diamond, rather than an emerald, ?shows how little he knows her.? Of course, her hissy fit over the ring shows a lot about her, as well. ?She?s so demanding,? an insider says. ?She?s acting like a bridezilla.?

Helicopters scour Indian river for ferry survivors
Helicopters searched the banks of the Brahmaputra river in northeast India on Tuesday as hopes dimmed of finding survivors after a ferry sank, leaving more than 100 dead and about 100 missing.
Police said 105 bodies, including many women and children, had been recovered so far from the fast-flowing river in Assam state, where the ferry was split in two during a sudden storm late Monday afternoon.
Despite an operating capacity of 225, some 350 people were believed to be on the two-deck boat when it broke up mid-river in torrential, pre-monsoon rains.
Police said some 150 people were rescued or swam to safety. The ferry carried no lifeboats or lifebelts and the chances of picking up more survivors after a night in the water were remote.
Many bodies are thought to have been washed far downstream by the Brahmaputra, which flows into Bangladesh and then out into the Bay of Bengal.
Two helicopters scoured the river from above as soldiers and police reinforced rescue teams, but continued heavy rains severely restricted the search operation.
"The weather is inclement and the river is rough so the rescue efforts are being hampered," state police chief J.N. Choudhury told AFP.
Taleb Ali, a 35-year-old villager who survived the sinking, said passengers had begged the skipper to anchor the ferry at a sandbar when the storm hit mid-stream, but he refused.
"Then the storm became more intense and the boat split into two parts before sinking," Ali told AFP.
Local fishermen, who live with their families in tiny hamlets stretching along the Brahmaputra -- which has a reputation as a treacherous waterway -- combed the shores for survivors.
Arun Kalita, a 30-year-old road construction worker who swam to safety, said, "I could hear many people screaming for God's help but it was a turbulent river and the storm was very severe."
"No one could come and rescue them," he said.
Strong winds had uprooted trees, blocking roads leading to the disaster site and preventing some rescue teams from reaching the area.
The death toll could make the ferry sinking one of the worst in recent memory in South Asia, where such disasters are common due to lax safety standards, recklessness and overloading.
Survivors said many passengers had continued to board the ferry even after the last tickets had been sold.
The bodies of the victims were being kept at a local hospital.
The boat was on its way from Dhubri, some 300 kilometres (190 miles) from the state's main city Guwahati, to Fakirganj.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called the sinking a "tragedy" and announced compensation would be paid to the victims' families.
He said in a statement that he was "shocked and grieved to know about the loss of lives" and added that he had given instructions "for all possible assistance to the government of Assam in relief operations".
Assam state chief minister Tarun Gogoi told the NDTV news channel that the final death toll was not yet known.
"The priority is the rescue work," he said. "We will then have a full inquiry."
In one of the last major ferry disasters in India, at least 79 Muslim pilgrims drowned when an overcrowded boat carrying 150 people sank in the eastern state of West Bengal in October 2010.
In March this year, some 138 people died in neighbouring Bangladesh when an overloaded ferry carrying 200 people sank in the Meghna river southeast of the capital Dhaka.
