HTC One vs. Samsung Galaxy S III: Spec Showdown
HTC has certainly grabbed everyone's attention with the One, its newest top-of-the-line Android smartphone. It's not out just yet, but if you're in the market for a new high-end handset, it's impossible to ignore.
Our current favorite smartphone on AT&T is the Samsung Galaxy S III. Even though it's been around a while, it continues to be a great choice, thanks to its ultra-fast LTE data connection, fast performance, and oversized screen.
Underneath the hood, the Galaxy S III features a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5-GHz, dual-core CPU. The HTC One has it beat, though, thanks to its quad-core, next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU. In terms of build quality, it's also going to be no contest. The HTC One is a solid piece of aluminum, with beautifully machined edges and detailing. The Galaxy S III, by contrast, is made entirely of plastic, with rounded, tapered edges and chrome buttons.
Both feature a glass screen, but beneath it the similarities end. The Samsung Galaxy S III's 4.8-inch 1,280-by-720-pixel (720p) panel, while sharp and a tenth of an inch larger, is no match for the HTC One's ultra-dense, 4.7-inch, 1,920-by-1,080-pixel (1080p) display. Interestingly, HTC didn't put in a 5-inch panel, like it did with the Droid DNA on Verizon, so the One is still firmly in smartphone rather than phablet territory.

HTC revamped its Sense UI to include BlinkFeed, which fills your home screen with new updates automatically using a Flipboard-like series of tiles. Otherwise, the HTC One runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Samsung's Galaxy S III also runs a heavily skinned version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, though Samsung's TouchWiz UI looks a lot different, and has more dedicated apps for improving specific functions. Both phones should have little problem running any of the 700,000+ apps in Google Play.
The HTC One features a pair of Beats Audio-enhanced stereo speakers bracketing the screen, along with dual-membrane microphones. The Galaxy S III is known for its excellent voice quality, thanks in part to Samsung's custom EQ tuning, but music doesn't sound all that great coming out of its mono speaker.
The Galaxy S III's 8-megapixel rear-facing camera is excellent, and gives the iPhone 5's class-leading 8-megapixel shooter a run for the money. But the HTC One includes what it calls an UltraPixel camera?four, to be precise?that emphasizes larger, fewer pixels that capture more light, and therefore offer more detail and less noise than before. We'll know for sure once we conduct our own tests. The HTC One also offers more internal storage, and an ever-so-slightly better front-facing camera, at least on paper.
HTC said the One will be available across 185 carriers globally beginning in March, but for the U.S., the number is three: AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. That pales in comparison to the Galaxy S III, which is about as ubiquitous a smartphone as they come. In addition to those three carriers, you can also get the Galaxy S III on Verizon, MetroPCS, and U.S. Cellular.
In short, the HTC One looks like it will claim the mantle of best Android phone on the market, but we won't know for sure until we test it. But with the rumored Samsung Galaxy S IV just around the corner, it's easily possible Samsung will maintain its position as the top-selling smartphone vendor. Which one do you like more? Let us know in the comments section below.

Defense attorney says unschooled Calif. mayor couldn't know salary was illegal
LOS ANGELES - The unschooled and illiterate former mayor of the scandal-ridden suburban city of Bell had no training that would have alerted him that his huge salary was illegal, his lawyer told a jury in closing arguments Thursday.
Former Mayor Oscar Hernandez didn't have a college or high school degree and didn't even finish elementary school, defense attorney Stanley Friedmand said.
Hernandez is among six former Bell city officials on trial for allegedly misappropriating funds. He was earning just under $100,000 a year for the part-time job.
Friedman argued that financial advisers hired by the city could have informed Hernandez that salaries being paid to council members were illegal, but no one did that.
"They didn't say, `Stop in the name of the law. These salaries are illegal,'" he said.
Hernandez was known around town for having a big heart and being willing to listen to everyone's problems, and like many other politicians of simple backgrounds, he wasn't required to be scholarly to be mayor, the lawyer said.
"We elect people who have a good heart. Someone who can listen to your problems and look you in the eye," Friedman said. "There are a lot of elected officials who may not be the most scholarly. We had a vice president of the United States who didn't know how to spell potato."
Friedman said former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's main qualification was "he portrayed a killer robot in the movies. And (former Minnesota Gov.) Jesse Ventura was a professional wrestler."
In prosecutors' closing arguments on Wednesday, they said the six officials facing charges of misappropriating funds felt they were above the law and collected paychecks for jobs that didn't exist.
Legally, the officials could have paid themselves $673 a month for what was a part-time job, since they didn't actually run the city, Deputy District Attorney Ed Miller said. But in addition to their inflated council salaries, the officials appointed each other to commissions that did nothing and often met yearly just to increase their pay, he said.
In the midst of a national economic meltdown, the council members were drawing salaries 3 1/2 times that of the median income of a resident in the blue-collar town, he said.
If convicted of various counts of misappropriation of funds, they could face sentences ranging from 11 to 20 years.
Later Wednesday, lawyers for two other former officials claimed their clients were victims of a city attorney who never told them what they were doing might be illegal. Lawyers for the other three defendants ? former council members George Mirabal, Victor Bello and Luis Artiga ? were to present closing arguments later Thursday.
After disclosure of the scandal in 2010, Bell residents revolted and turned out in the thousands to protest at City Council meetings. They ultimately staged a successful recall election in 2011, throwing out the entire council and electing a slate of new leaders.
An audit by the state controller's office determined Bell had illegally raised property taxes, business license fees and other sources of revenue to pay the salaries and ordered the money repaid.
Former city manager Robert Rizzo and his assistant city manager, Angela Spazzio, face a trial later in the year.

Computers Shown To Be Better Than Docs At Diagnosing, Prescribing Treatment
... is that the computer doesn't have, literally, hands-on experience.
For example... you have stomach pain. Okay. Where? Does this hurt? Does it hurt if I poke this? Do you have a fever? How high? ("Oh, I don't know, maybe XX"
In other words, you still need someone who *knows* what to do to help diagnose simply to *get* the information. You need someone trained to know where to poke, where to tap, where to see if something hurts. And then, of course, to try to wheedle the real information out rather than the confusing answers patients (note that I am not a doctor, I am a patient) give.
As a diagnostic tool, I think it would be a huge benefit. An individual simply can't keep up to date on everything, don't know everything, and can't research everything. Having a diagnostic tool that *does* do all that would be a huge benefit. There would be options and diagnoses that perhaps the doctor had not thought about. Additionally, the diagnostic tool - I hope! - would not just say "Oh, it's this" but would perhaps say "Well, it could be this, and you need to find out this information first
The idea that a patient, combined with a non-trained non-doctor, can somehow come up with all the right answers/information and a machine can simply diagnose it on the spot seems like a very simplistic view. Perhaps that works with colds, the flu, or warts... but for more complex things... it seems diagnoses tend to work on a "it could be this; let's do more specific tests to find out if it is" type of investigation.

Minding Your Steps Can Determine if You're All There Upstairs ...
Walking is one thing. Walking and thinking is entirely another. In fact, doctors think they?ve discovered a rather simple way to early detect Alzheimer?s. That?s right. By watching you walk.
According to the new research, the way you walk can tell a lot about your cognitive function . . . slowed or altered gait, for instance. And by having you do some basic brain work while walking, such as counting backwards as you walk, it?s possible for the trained observer to pick up changes in your walking pattern. For some people that change could be easily screened to help figure out the presence and, to some extent, the severity of Alzheimer?s.
As one doctor put it,??It may be that the brain is already so compromised that it cannot coordinate its circuits to efficiently manage such ?dual tasks.?
Notably, the worse the walking pattern, the worse the presence of Alzheimer?s.
