New specs indicate HTC may change front camera on HTC One M9 Plus
Amongst the images of the HTC One M9 Plus that have started to float around, showing both the back of the device and the front with a physical home button, Twitter leakster @upleaks has updated the purported specs for the smartphone.
The change that was recently made is with the front camera. Previously, it was thought the device would have a 4MP Ultra Pixel camera. HTC has been moving away from that technology and it appears they have dropped it completely from the HTC One M9 Plus. The front camera is now believed to be a standard 13MP sensor, which is quite impressive itself for a front-facing camera.

The Big Picture: NASA’s vintage propaganda poster from 1965
Back when the US was in a race against Russia to send the first humans out there, NASA actively toured schools to spread word about what it does. That traveling unit of NASA employees is called the Spacemobile, and the image above is one of its posters. Yup, this really was from the golden age of space travel and not part of the agency’s vintage poster project. It was dated February 26th, 1965 to be exact, and it was used during the Spacemobile’s tour of New Zealand, as co-sponsored by the country’s Department of Education.
The National Archives placed this copy under a collection called “Propaganda Posters Distributed in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, ca. 1950 – ca. 1965.” And the image, with its 1960s aesthetic, fits in perfectly, doesn’t it? It has an Uncle Sam poster vibe to it, though it looks like it could also have been a movie banner or a book cover from that era.

This is the HTC One M9 Dot View Case
One of the most innovative cases of 2014 is back with a new model for a new flagship phone.
Here’s a quick look at the new Dot View Case for the HTC One M9. If you used the case on the M8, you pretty much know what you’re getting here. It’s a sort of rubberized case that protects the back of the phone as well as the front. But the display has holes in it that allow images to show through. So you get some cool designs, and information such as the time and weather, missed calls and other notifications. And if that’s not enough, you’ll even have a game or two to play this time around.
We’ll take a deeper look once we’ve got retail units and finished software. And most important is that we’ll see if the case is a little more usable this time around — a number of us took issue with the front flap trying to spring back around when it was folded to the back, making it a little tough to type.

You could stream Jennifer Lawrence’s new movie before it’s in theaters
But you probably won’t — we’ll explain. Can’t wait for the day when you have a real choice on when and where to watch new movies (legally)? A new movie featuring some of Hollywood’s hottest stars is actually giving you a taste of that, as Serena is available on iTunes, Xbox Video, Google Play, Vudu and other VOD services right now, before it hits theaters in the US on March 27th. It features Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, so why the unusual treatment? As its 27 percent Rotten Tomatoes score indicates, this period drama apparently isn’t very good and has been on the shelf since it was shot in 2012. It debuted overseas late last year and is only now getting released in the US at all. It’s backwards release schedule is at least an effort by the studio, as we recall Miley Cyrus’ LOL being unceremoniously dumped into a few theaters back in 2012. There’s a trailer embedded after the break if you’d like to judge for yourself, but at $10 a pop for a rental, we’re guessing it’s a Netflix/Amazon/Hulu night instead.

Dive into a sci-fi game anthology full of stars and weird games
Game jams are marathon sessions where game makers put together a game in a short period of time, typically just one or two days. Naturally they’re unpredictable — as likely to conclude in quick interactive jokes as they are substantive games. Sometimes 48 hours of game development ends with Broforce. Other times it ends with Kitty Punch. Rather than invite all game makers to come together for a non-stop creative session, Antholojam founders Zoe Quinn and Alex Lifschitz invited creators to pitch ideas based around a theme and then gave them a month to complete their vision. Now there’s Antholojam 1: A Golden Age of Sci-Fi Anthology, gathering together 15 beautiful and strange games resulting from the first of these curated jams.
How strange is the set? Consider Killing Time at Lightspeed by Gritfish, an old-style adventure game that has you traveling from Mars to a distant planet on a commercial ship over 30 years. You pass the time reading email, news stories and talking with other passengers to fill in the gaps on who you are and why you’re making a trip that requires you to live a third of a life in transit.
If you still want to ponder how space and time travel go hand in hand, you can also check out The Lost Chrononaut. Watercolor illustrations and ambient electronic music straight of a ’70s sci-fi movie count among its charms. Chrononaut‘s story, meanwhile, sends you to the year 2060 to explore and the whole thing is presented as card game. Once you’ve wrapped it up there are still 12 more games to explore in the anthology. It can be played for free at the Antholojam homepage.

More leaked photos of the HTC One M9 Plus appear sporting a… physical home button?!?!
Earlier today, we got our first look at what is tentatively being called the HTC One M9 Plus. Essentially a normal M9 with a Quad HD screen, there wasn’t much the previous photos gave us in terms of information, apart from the fact the camera module looked different.
