HTC One X Review

We know that The HTC One X brings the best processor, an HD screen and a sublimely thin chassis as the Taiwanese firm looks to recreate the success of the original Desire.

The One X is a phone that's had us intrigued for a while – running a quad core CPU (Nvidia's Tegra 3) plus one of the largest screens on any HTC… and that's without being given a gargantuan name like the Titan.

It's clear from the outset what HTC is trying to do with the One X: shake off the slight doom and gloom surrounding the brand's fall in profits, and bring out a slick, powerful and, more importantly, useable handset that only costs £36 per month (about $57) on a two year deal.

Check out the HTC One X video below to find out the main features it's packing in that slim body.

With Ice Cream Sandwich running from the outset, this is the phone that really takes HTC to the next level – but is it a case of too much, too soon for a brand that's still really just over a decade old?


Design

HTC's phones have been slowly moving towards sleeker design ever since the purchase of One & Co (which may have had more than a little to do with the new naming strategy) and the release of the HTC Legend.

Obama-Bush Bagai Langit dan Bumi


INILAH.COM, Washington – Jika membandingkan popularitas Barack Obama dengan George W. Bush bagai langit dan bumi. Apalagi setelah Obama terpilih sebagai presiden AS, popularitas presiden Bush makin tenggelam.

Beberapa catatan buruk memang mewarnai pemerintahan Bush. Mulai dari kritik dan hujatan dunia mengenai Perang Irak, tragedi WTC New York, badai Katrina, hingga yang terparah adalah krisis finansial global.

“Para sejarawan melihatnya sebagai kombinasi dari semua faktor negatif,” ujar Julian Zelizer, dosen sejarah dan hubungan masyarakat di Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University.

“Bush terlihat inkompeten dari caranya menangani kebijakan domestik dan luar negeri. Ia seperti memaksakan agenda yang ia inginkan kepada bangsa pilihannya dan berkuasa dengan demikian eksekutif tanpa memperdulikan popularitasnya,” sambungnya.
