Football, a recognized XDA-Developer member who seems to have pretty free access to HTC?s ROMs has just posted this picture of what he calls the HTC Accord.

The HTC Accord is one of 3 leaked HTC Windows Phone 8 handsets and this device has, according to Football, the following specs:

HTC Accord- WP8 MSM8960 ? 1.5 Ghz Dual Core ROM 8gb/16gb HD Screen 720?1280 Camera 8mp NFC support microSD card support Previous rumours have pegged the handset as having a 4.3 inch screen and 1 GB of RAM and set for an October release.

The picture sports the Windows Phone 7 start screen as it is merely a render.

Another HTC Accord schematic leaks, confirms central USB sync and charge port.

Football has leaked another image of the HTC Accord, this time a schematic showing the various buttons and ports.

The image does not reveal anything dramatic, but does confirm the placement of the USB sync and charge port in the bottom centre of the handset, as per yesterday?s rumour that Microsoft is standardizing the position in the interest of more 3rd party accessories.

The HTC Accord is expected to have a dual core 1.5 Ghz processor, 1 GB RAM, 4.3 inch 720?1280 HD screen, 8 megapixel camera, 8gb/16gb storage with microSD port and NFC.

Current rumours suggest HTC will reveal the HTC Accord some time in the 3rd week in September.

A light is nice, true, but as far as WP8 goes, it seems you can place a number of your more important apps notifications on the lock screen itself, so you know if you have new stuff without unlocking the phone. The only difference here is that you do have to turn the screen on for a bit to check. I dunno what the number of lock screen notification slots there is though, Windows 8 has 10 iirc? WP8 might have less because of screen size.

I know. The Lock Screen notifications are great. But a simple and unobtrusive LED can help you avoid reaching and unlocking the phone to check if there's something waiting for you or not. Manufacturers can put one on their phones and allow us to turn it on or off as we like.

It would be great to have a notification LED. They are great for knowing when you have a message, an email or just another kind of notification.

With (I think) the vast majority of phones, you need to unlock it just to see if there's a notification for you.

I know that is the case with the Nokia Lumia 800, but I don't know of any other Windows Phones that don't have a notification LED. I know my HTC HD7 had one, and I'm pretty sure the Samsung Focus and HTC Surround do too. I was really surprised when the Lumia 800 didn't.

My first-gen LG Optimus 7 doesn't have one. I didn't recall that the HD7 had one, my bad.

Samsung Focus and the Focus Flash doesn't have LED notifications, it's one of the few complaints people have with Samsung WPs. :(

HTC's HD7 and Surround does have it, however.

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
