Star Trek hasn’t been on television since Enterprise went away in 2005, but that’s not for lack of trying. Not only did Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies) pitch a show, but so did past stars William Shatner and Jonathan Frakes. More
Just in case you’re still dissatisfied after taking a peek at one leaked Verizon screenshot today, well… here’s numero dos. The folks at Droid-Life managed to get their paws on a couple of monochrome sheets that look more like VZW promotional material than anything else, and if Sprint’s Simply Everything plan thought it had the whole market locked down, it might just have another thing coming. Best we can tell, the impending (?) ‘Unleashed’ pricing options will allow customers to choose a contract-free $50 / month unlimited calling and texting plan, with “Mobile Web” access thrown in as well for featurephones. ‘Course, you’d have to pony up extra for legitimate data on a legitimate smartphone, but it’s hardly a bad place to start — particularly for those who are growing increasingly tired of locking themselves into two-year agreements. Hard to say if the carrier is planning to actually implement any of this, but why waste the intern’s time mocking it up, right?
[Thanks, Mio]

What happens when you put the powertrain from a Tesla Roadster into an SUV? You get the Toyota RAV4 EV, an early prototype of which PluginCars got a chance to drive. It referred to a “sophisticated proof of concept,” basically a drivable show car, and the performance is reasonably stout: 0 – 60MPH in nine seconds — not bad for a 3,900lb car. Range is estimated to be 100 miles in real-world conditions, but that’s liable to change between now and when the car is expected to hit dealers, sometime toward the end of 2012. We’re guessing the Roadster-style pushbutton gear selector will be gone by then, too.

In 2008, Sandra Critelli shot this excellent photo of Golden Rays off the Mexican coast:
She said: “It was an unreal image, very difficult to describe. The surface of the water was covered by warm and different shades of gold and looked like a bed of autumn leaves gently moved by the wind.
“It’s hard to say exactly how many there were but in the range of a few thousand.
“We were surrounded by them without seeing the edge of the school and we could see many under the water surface too.
Golden Rays grow up to seven feet across and migrate within the Caribbean.
