HTC Sensation XE, Sensation Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs Leak

When HTC officially announced the white HTC Sensation at the beginning of this month the company said the phone will be available in Europe on March 1 running Android Ice Cream Sandwich out-of-the-box. The announcement also contained information about the ICS update for all European Sensation models to arrive soon.

On that note, two "release candidate" Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs have been recently leaked for the HTC Sensation XE and the HTC Sensation. This means that HTC is working hard to roll-out the official updates soon but it also means that those techy among you who understand the risks can take the leaked ROMs for a spin. RC means it's close to the final version but there might be some bugs (though you know that already). Check out the source link below to grab them (seem to be European versions) only if you know what you're doing and acknowledge the risks.

Google+ Launches “What’s Hot” Volume Slider[+VIDEO]

Scott Zuccarino from Google has just posted about a new feature on Google+ that lets you “control how many ‘What’s hot’ posts appear in your main stream on Google+”,The What’s hot post is a post that shows you what’s being shared like crazy around the world — which is why some people may not want to see it too often in their news feed.  It’s a smart way of blending news at large with personal news, which seems to be Google’s positioning of Google+ in general.

The feature will look like a volume slider and will be rolling out in the next few days.  It will be very similar to the existing volume sliders that let you control the blend of feed information from your various circles.  It was just a hop step to use this feature to also blend in the amount of “What’s Hot” information streaming in, too, Check out Scott’s post over on Google+.
Take a look at more information about “What’s Hot” in the video below :
