<description><![CDATA[The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle taxis on the flight line in 2010.(Credit:U.S. Air Force)A second mysterious, robotic space plane was launched into orbit by the U.S. Air Force today, after the first craft safely returned to Earth late last year following a secretive months-long mission and speculation about its potential military or intelligence uses.The second Boeing-built X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, or OTV, left Cape Canaveral, Fla., at 2:46 p.m. PT, atop an Atlas V rocket, Boeing said.&quot;History was made in December when the X-37B became the United States' first unmanned vehicle to return from space and land on its own,&quot; Craig Cooning, vice president and general manager of Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems, said in a statement today. &quot;The success of that mission validated this reusable and effective way to test new technologies in space and return them for examination.&quot;The &amp;34'OTV-2,&amp;34' the second X-37B space plane, launches atop an Atlas V rocket.(Credit:Patrick H. Corkery/Boeing)The X-37B, which was originally a NASA project, has the potential to pick up where the space shuttle program will leave off when it winds down. And Boeing's statement suggested as much.But an Air Force statement at the time of the first craft's launch that a successful project could &quot;make our access to space more responsive...and push us in the vector toward being able to react to warfighter needs more quickly,&quot; has, for some, lent the X-37B program an air of intrigue.Some observers think the project is designed to facilitate the development of combat and weapons systems' others have suggested that the unmanned craft could be used as an orbital spy vehicle.The Air Force said in its statement today that the program &quot;has the potential to make space experiments more affordable, which would allow future experiment designers to focus resources and dollars on technology and innovation rather than on basic services, layers of redundancy, or ground operations.&quot;The present mission is scheduled to last about 270 days, but the Air Force said that might be extended. The first craft stayed in orbit 224 days.The X-37B is about 29 feet long with a wingspan of about 15 feet and looks something like a smaller, eyeless relative of the space shuttle.The extreme history of X-Planes (photos) <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tosh has an onscreen presence most movie characters can only aspire to. (Credit:Eric Franklin/CNET)With the advent of services such as Valve's Steam and Microsoft's Games for Windows Live, not to mention Blizzard's continued support, PC gaming--considered dead a few years back--isn't showing any signs of slowing down.The platform has continued to successfully offer exclusive experiences you won't find on a console, while at the same time playing host to some of console gaming's biggest blockbusters, like the Call of Duty and Mass Effect series. Editors' note: Eric Franklin is aware that the Call of Duty series was begotten on the PC. He was there, he played it with headphones and has the occasional tinnitus to prove it.While Jeff Bakalar covered the overall top 10 2010 games list earlier, I couldn't sit idly by while PC gaming got the short end of the stick. Instead, through tenacity, charm, and a bit of pleading I was able to secure a more than serviceable medium-size list.The top 5 best PC-only games of 2010 (photos) What follows is a list of the top five PC games released in 2010 that didn't also appear on a console. It was important for me to show PC gaming's unique quality, and what better way than with exclusive (for now at least) games We'll see if we're able to compose such a list next year, but with the large amount of hotly anticipated MMOs, not to mention anything from Blizzard, I'll think we'll be in good shape. Before delving into the top 5, check out the games that missed it by that much. Honorable mention:Total War: NapoleonAlien SwarmFootball Manager 2011Bejeweled 3Stalker: Call of Pipryat.Also, look for continued and expanded PC gaming coverage on Crave in the coming year. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[UpdatedVerizon today announced its long-awaited support for the iPhone. For the most part, the phone and its features look like theya4a4re the same whether you get them for AT&amp;amp'T or Verizon, but therea4a4s one cool exception &amp;8212' Verizon says users will be able to turn their phones into five-person hot spots.The idea is to turn your phone into the equivalent of a MiFi device &amp;8212' personal WiFi networks that you carry around with you. No more struggling to find free WiFi, and ita4a4s arguably an improvement on MiFi devices, since you dona4a4t have to carry around an extra device. (In VentureBeata4a4s case, we try to work on-the-go by connecting my Verizon 3G modem to Owen Thomasa4a4 MiFi device &amp;8212' now wea4a4ll just make sure therea4a4s someone with a Verizon iPhone in the car.)Verizon hasna4a4t released any details about how much it will cost or how it will work. I dona4a4t know, for example, how long wea4a4ll be able to run the WiFi feature without completely draining the iPhonea4a4s battery. But if Verizon can make this work in even a halfway decent fashion, that should give it bragging rights over AT&amp;amp'T, which struggled to support connecting one computer to the Internet via iPhone tethering.Update: We have a video of the Personal Hotspot in action.Next Story: Mobile banking firm Obopay promotes its president to CEO Previous Story: Just Dance 2 breaks the music game curse with 5M units soldPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: iPhone, iPhone 4, MiFi, tetheringCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, Verizon          Tags: iPhone, iPhone 4, MiFi, tetheringCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, VerizonAnthony is a senior editor at VentureBeat, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.
