Manta rays , a species close to the heart of every diver and every individual who cares about the future of our ocean, are increasingly threatened with extinction. They have roamed the ocean for 150 million years and yet  we are witnessing their ecocide before our eyes . Demand for manta ray gill rakers – or the internal feathery structures that strain plankton – has risen drastically, driving untold numbers of deaths for the Asian medicine market. The gruesome and cruel destruction of these gentle creatures is needless, tragic and extremely alarming. As the environmental voice of the global dive community, Project AWARE is working at every turn to ensure that  mantas will not disappear on our watch . Help us ensure maximum protection for these animals before it’s too late. The time is now.  Make an urgent donation today  to support critical conservation efforts to protect mantas globally. FACT : Manta ray catch has nearly quadrupled  in seven years acco...

10,000 miles = 10,000 books in the Mongol Rally : Mongolia Rally. Photo by: Leon Logothetis Leon Logothetis will be covering this year’s Mongol Rally for Matador. THE TRUTH IS, I probably shouldn’t be here. Events happened last year that conspired to nearly rob me of my life. Inches I tell you. Inches. Things happened. Bad things. I had signed up for the famed Mongol Rally; an arduous trek across 10,000 miles of desert, treacherous mountain ranges, and inhospitable territory. All attempted in a car that only your granny would be proud of. At the hospital. Photo by: Leon Logothetis The aim was to drive from England to Mongolia. The reality was that I found myself lying on a hospital bed in a distant land. A broken collarbone and bruised ego in tow. Violent car crashes can do that to you. I never did reach Mongolia. My adventure ended on a Romanian road. My life, did not. This year I’m trying again. Something inside just won’t give up. I guess I’m still chasing the sense of advent...

From RedmondPie.com Despite HP giving up on the HP TouchPad a long time ago, the  Android  development community continues to support it in the form of regular updates, stability upgrades and bug fixes to CyanogenMod – the premier custom ROM for the discontinued tablet. CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 2 is the latest version of the ROM and is, to be honest, a small upgrade over Alpha 1 but, understandably, a pretty big one over CyanogenMod 7 since they are both based on different versions of Android.

If you’re already on  CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 1 , you can simply follow our step-by-step guide below to update using ClockworkMod Recovery. However, if you’re installing CyanogenMod 9 for the first time on your HP TouchPad, you will have to check out the  official guide  on RootzWiki, which invo...

How To Install Android 4.0.3 ICS MIUI ROM On Galaxy S II [Tutorial] : Ever since the source code for Ice Cream Sandwich was released some two months back, many talented developers have been tirelessly experimenting in order to bring a range of custom ROMs for those running certain Android devices. One such ROM is MIUI, which, based on CyanogenMod, is one of the more popular custom builds due to its smooth and distinct interface. More than being just a pretty face though, it features a better notifications menu as well as enhanced Camera/Gallery/Music apps. Last month we showed you how to install MIUI on your HP TouchPad device, and courtesy of adyscorpius over at XDA-Developers, you can now install it on your Samsung Galaxy S II. It’s a pretty well-tuned build, thus you won’t have to sacrifice any basic functions in order to enjoy it, and while we’d usually advise against performing such mods on your daily runner, this particular ROM is at version 2.1, so many of the usual cav...
