UFC 137's Bart Palaszewski 'disrespected' when opponent missed weight

LAS VEGAS – Prior to their fight at UFC 137, Bart Palaszewski issued an edict to opponent Tyson Griffin to "come and fight."

Concerned Griffin (15-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) might try to turn the bout into a wrestling match, Palaszewski (36-14 MMA, 1-0 UFC) used his pre-fight interviews to goad the fellow featherweight into a standup fight.

Steelers defeat Patriots

PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers had made the Super Bowl twice since New England's last trip, yet they in some ways still felt like the kid brother looking up to Tom Brady and the big, bad Patriots.

The Steelers finally got the best of their AFC nemesis yesterday with a 25-17 manhandling at delirious Heinz Field that appeared to expose the Patriots -- particularly Bill Belichick's hand-picked defense -- in the process.

Hardwareluxx - Kein Android 4.0 für das Nexus One

Seit einiger Zeit wird darüber spekuliert, ob auch das in 2010 von HTC vorgestellte Nexus One ein Update für die vierte Version des Smartphone-Betriebssystems Android erhält. Nun ist das Rätsel gelüftet: HTC gab heute bekannt, dass man nach ausgiebigen Untersuchungen zu dem Ergebnis gekommen sei, dass die Leistung des 700 Tage alten Smartphones mit 512 MB RAM und 1 GHz Prozessor nicht für ein "Ice Cream Sandwich"-Update ausreiche. Ziel war es eigentlich, alle Geräte, welche auch Android 2.3 unterstützten, auch mit der Version 4.0 zu versorgen. Dieser Plan scheint nun allerdings gescheitert. Anders als die Konkurrenz hielt sich HTC aber von Beginn an sehr bedeckt, was Updates für die eigenen Geräte anging. So kündigte das Unternehmen an, dass man vorerst das Smartphone-Portfolio auf Kompatiblität zu Ice Cream Sandwich überprüfen wolle, um so eindeutige Aussagen über mögliche Updates treffen zu können.
