Control Your TV From Your Couch With The Xoom 2 And Dijit

We knew that at least one of the new Xooms would be able to double as a (rather large) remote control, but Motorola surprised us yesterday when they revealed that both of the Xoom 2 models featured IR transmitters. With their new tablets, it looks like Motorola may be looking to wage a war for control of your couch.

Cain lashes out at Perry campaign (Politico)

Herman Cain lashed out at rival Rick Perry on Wednesday, accusing the Texas governor?s campaign of orchestrating the original report about allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior.

In separate appearances Wednesday evening, both Cain and his campaign manager, Mark Block, asserted that the Perry campaign was behind POLITICO?s report Sunday that, as head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained about inappropriate behavior by Cain and ultimately signed confidential agreements that gave them financial payouts to leave the association.

Block: Perry camp behind story

Graham: Cain 'needs to chill out'

?We?ve been able to trace it back to the Perry campaign that stirred this up in order to discredit me,? Cain said at a tele-town hall held by TheTeaParty.net. ?The fingerprints of the Rick Perry campaign are all over this, based on our sources.?

Cain campaign manager Mark Block delivered similarly pointed criticism to Fox News?s Bret Baier. ?The actions of the Perry campaign are despicable,? he said. ?Rick Perry and his campaign owe Herman Cain and his family an apology.?

Cain and Block also attacked POLITICO for printing the story. The GOP presidential candidate said POLITICO had no documentation and made ?anonymous accusations.?

?Both Rick Perry and POLITICO did the wrong thing by reporting something that wasn?t true,? Block said.

Block?s claims came after Cain said in a Forbes online piece Wednesday that he had told strategist Curt Anderson, who?s now working for the Perry campaign, about one incident of a settlement involving a female employee while he was running for U.S. Senate from Georgia in 2003.

As his evidence, Block noted that Anderson was hired by the Perry campaign roughly two weeks ago.

?What else happened two weeks ago?? asked Block, who mostly read from a prepared statement as he sat in the seat. ?POLITICO began this smear campaign.?

?It?s an outrage and as I said before, Rick Perry needs to apologize to Herman Cain and, quite frankly, to America,? he said.

Perry?s campaign and Anderson have both flatly denied the assertions.

Ray Sullivan, Perry?s spokesman, forwarded a previously released statement from Anderson saying he had nothing to do with the story. And he added that Block?s claim was totally untrue.

?No one at our campaign was involved in this story in any way,? Sullivan said. ?Any claim to the contrary is patently false. The first we learned of it was when we read the story in POLITICO.?

US brigade in Iraq likely heading to Kuwait (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Senior U.S. officials say the Pentagon is poised to move at least 4,000 U.S. forces from Iraq to Kuwait at the end of the year.

The 1st Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division would move within weeks as part of a still-developing Pentagon strategy that ends the Iraq war but positions a strong U.S. force just across the border.

U.S. officials say the idea is to reinforce America's military commitment in the Middle East and prevent a power vacuum when the tens of thousands of U.S. forces who have served in Iraq are gone.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Defense Secretary Leon Panetta hasn't given final approval.

All but a handful of U.S. forces will leave Iraq by Dec. 31 under terms of a deal with Baghdad.

HTC Rezound ad pays Verizon stores an early visit, soonish launch likely

The above image isn't a leak -- it's a dye-in-the-wool, true-blue LTE poster that a few Verizon stores have preemptively hung up. We're pretty sure these adverts aren't supposed to be displayed for our eyes to see since they feature the HTC Rezound, a forthcoming 4G device that hasn't even been announced yet. Oops. Additionally, the handset -- featured front and center on the ad -- shows off a pair of Beats headphones dangling out of its 3.5mm jack. Are there any naysayers that still think the Rezound won't get its official outing at HTC's event this week? Count us amongst the believers.

?I Really Want You To Do My Vice-America President.?

Probably the biggest goof in this sentence was Huntsman?s self-introduction, ?I am Mr. Jon Huntsman.? It is even more bizarre to refer to oneself as ?Mr.? in Chinese than in English because of the Chinese cultural emphasis on humility. For example, Americans respond to compliments with ?Thank you? while Chinese will typically answer ?Nali, nali??literally, ?Where, where?? (A joke I?ve heard in China is that Americans claim to ?speak? Chinese no matter how few words they understand, while Chinese claim to be unable to speak English no matter how many words they understand.) Calling oneself ?Mr.? in Chinese sounds as jarring as calling oneself ?the esteemed Mr.? in English.
