<description><![CDATA[Call it valley between two trade shows, but the cell phone world is having a quiet week for a change. As we're three weeks past Mobile World Congress and two weeks toCTIA, cell phone makers must have their heads down planning what's to come. Yet, there was at least one piece of news that brought out the CNET readers in force this week. Indeed, Android fans and detractors were abuzz over a ComScore report that found that Android had grabbed the largest market share in the United States smartphone market in the three months ending January. It's quite the discussion so be sure to check it out. We also reviewed the changes form iOS 4.3, Kent dissed the Motorola Flipout, and Bonnie walked us through new announcements from Samsung. And Jessica said nothing because she as on vacation. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hank Chien: This man is projecting serious swagger.(Credit:Twin Galaxies)A full 30 years after Donkey Kong's release, gamers are still holding tight to ancient arcade joysticks in a quest for the next high score.  The latest King of Kong  Hank Chien, according to video game score certification organization Twin Galaxies. The 35-year-old doctor from Queens, N.Y., has set a new Donkey Kong arcade world record by tallying up a mesmerizing score of 1,068,000 points on the classic 1981 game in 2 hours and 45 minutes. Chien beat out the previous record held by competitor Steve Wiebe (1,064,500 points).  Now the heat is on for Wiebe, a teacher, to strike back (Wiebe, true Donkey Kong afficionados may recall, was filmed in his pursuit of the DK high score in the 2007 documentary &quot;The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters&quot;).  The DK arcade scene is actually pretty fierce, with Chien competing not only against Wiebe, but others such as his predecessor, hot-sauce magnate Billy Mitchell. The fate of the barrel-tossing high score will be decided in the upcoming &quot;Kong-Off&quot; competition on March 19-20, where another player could beat Chien's latest score. In an epic battle with the top 10 DK players, the arma-kong-eddon will determine the real King of Kong. The event will be hosted at Richie Knucklez' Arcade Games in Flemington, N.J. Richie Knucklez I feel like I should go watch &quot;Out for Justice&quot; now. Hey, Richie!<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[They call it New Space, a commercial effort to send people into space as tourists. Entrepreneurs are creating startups that are flying tourists into space, for a fee. One of the companies doing so is Virgin Galactic, a startup funded by billionaire Richard Branson of the Virgin Group.We caught up with George Whitesides, chief executive of Virgin Galactic, at the recent Digital Life Design conference in Munich. He thinks that as early as next year he can send you up into space and experience weightlessness and see the Earth from a unique point of view.If these entrepreneurs succeed, they&amp;'ll be sending a lot more spacecraft into outer space than governments will. And hopefully they will create new technologies that everyone will benefit from, just as NASA&amp;'s 1960s space program led to a lot of cool new technologies that were exploited by entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley.Whitesides (below) says his company will charge a mere $200,000 for its trips. Competitors charge much more. Space Adventures, funded by Eric Anderson, charges $20 million or more to send its astronaut tourists into space. Game designer Richard Garriott flew to the space station on a SpaceX flight that cost $30 million. Space Adventures offers sub-orbital flights that are cheaper. But Whitesides says that Branson&amp;'s goal is to make it possible for anyone to go into space.Each Virgin Galactic launch will have six passengers and two pilots. They will fly up into sub-orbital space, stay there for five minutes, and then come back down again. It&amp;'s not much time, but that&amp;'s what makes it affordable. Whitesides says the company is testing its space ships now and plans on sending its first commercial flight into space in 2012. The hope is that such spacecraft could one day be used to fly from San Francisco to New York in a matter of minutes, not hours.Branson&amp;'s company has funded the creation of two space ships developed over the past six years with technology from Scaled Composites. The design is based on that of SpaceShipOne, which was piloted into space twice starting in 2004. Designed by aerospace engineer Burt Rutan, the spacecraft won the Ansari X Prize. That ship now hangs in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The two new Virgin Galactic ships are called WhiteKnightTwo and SpaceShipTwo. They&amp;'re being prepped at place called Spaceport America in New Mexico. Over time, Whitesides says, it will get cheaper to send tourists into space. So you better book your flight now.I met up with Whitesides at the Digital Life Design conference in Munich earlier this week. Check out my video interview with him below. And here&amp;'s a link to Digital Life Design&amp;'s video of Whitesides&amp;' panel with Eric Anderson of Space Adventures and Spencer Reiss of Wired magazine.Disclosure: The Digital Life Design conference paid my way to Munich so I could moderate a panel.
