Honda test house features Smart Home System for controlling energy usage
The term "smart home" seems to turn up in tech circles every so often, only to fade into the background again without much sign of ultra-connected dwellings becoming a reality. Honda's at least putting one foot forward, with a just-unveiled test house in Saitama, Japan featuring a system for controlling and monitoring energy usage. The Honda Smart Home System (HSHS) consists of thin-film solar cell panels, a rechargeable home battery unit, gas and hot water supply systems and the Smart e Mix Manager. The latter is the central part of the energy-control system, and it keeps track of all the other components in addition to monitoring the home's use of power supplied by the grid. In emergency situations, it can also provide electricity via the home battery unit. On the day-to-day level, however, the system is there to let home owners know what sources of power they can kill. Honda also integrates its Japan-only Internavi system for controlling home appliances remotely. The car maker hopes to use the house for extensive demo testing, with an ultimate goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 50 percent. No word on how many decades till we actually call this sort of place home, though. Click on past the break for a look (in Japanese) at the test home's features.

Miley Cyrus or Demi Lovato: The Next X Factor Judge?!?
With Britney Spears already on board, might Simon Cowell be giving up all notions of The X Factor as a singing competition?
It's hard not to think the producer is simply aiming to rake in the ratings, considering the latest name reportedly on the table to join season two as a judge: Miley Cyrus.
Simply put, “there have been talks with Miley,” an X Factor insider tells Celebuzz, a rumor backed up by E! News.
Both outlets also report that Fergie, Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato are in the running to join Cowell, Spears and L.A. Reid on the panel. A decision will need to come within a month or so, in order for auditions to begin and The X Factor to premiere season two in September.
What do you think of Miley Cyrus as a judge? Would she be a good choice?
UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter now claims Lovato is the one to beat and is in "final negotiations" for the gig.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus unboxing and hands-on
It's been many months in coming, but the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is finally available on Sprint. For all intents and purposes, it's the same Galaxy Nexus we've come to know and love over the past five months or so. Same 4.65-inch Super AMOLED display at 720x1280 resolution. Same 32GB of storage. Same 1GB of memory. And, like the other versions of the Galaxy Nexus, it's running the latest version of Android, aka Ice Cream Sandwich. (For those of you who worry about such things, it's running the latest version, Android 4.0.4, out of the box.) It's also got the same 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with zero shutter lag. Huzzah.
The big seller here, of course, is that the Galaxy Nexus is one of Sprint's first LTE-enabled phones. That's the good news. The bad news is that Sprint hasn't yet turned on its LTE network. So it's 3G-only for now. But once that switch is flipped, we're expecting to see some impressive data speeds. Oh, and because we're talking Sprint here, it's also got Google Wallet built in from the outset. So there's that.
Check out our official unboxing and initial hands-on above.

Things to Know Before You Purchase Bird Cages ? Bird Articles
Having a pet bird can be a wonderful experience but it also implies a lot of responsibility. Keeping a pet bird does not only mean that you feed it and change its paper as required. You will also have to make sure that the bird is healthy and happy. A comfortable and safe bird cage is one the basic requirements for your pet bird. A bird cage should provide an environment closest to the natural habitat of the bird. There are four main factors that you need to take into consideration while purchasing a home for your beloved pet: functionality, durability, modern style and effective service. You will find several types of cages for birds in the market, including:
Wooden Bird Cages: These cages are like beautiful pieces of furniture. Usually there is a metal cage within a wooden cage. The wooden cages are handcrafted in quality woods like solid oak or cheery wood. These cages are available in various shades.
Small Bird Cages: These cages are perfect for small birds like canaries, budgies, parrots, lovebirds, java sparrows, and so on. The cages should be spacious for the little birds and should have one or two wood perches for comfortable seating. A round cage is good if your birds like to climb. The cages should have a half inch or less bar spacing.
Medium Bird Cages: These cages are meant for birds like weavers, cockatiels, conures, and senegals. A Victorian bird cage is good if your bird like to climb. The spacing of the cage should be 1/2 to 3/4 inches.
Large Bird Cages: These cages are prefect for birds like Amazons, cockatoos, or macaws. The bar spacing of the cage should be 1 1/4 inches or more.
There are several features of a bird cage that requires consideration. The paint used for the cage should be safe for the bird. High levels of toxic elements like zinc, lead, should not be used for the cages. The nonporous finishes and removable trays or drawers are good and useful for the daily cleaning of the cage surface and the removal of the food and other waste from the cage. There should be ample dishes for food and water.
You can find a wide selection of bird cages in online stores. It is recommended that before you make a purchase, make sure you have sufficient information about the shipping policies, guarantee, and return and exchanges policy of the store. You should compare prices and consider all the different accessories offered as a part of the package by different companies.
