Google and Verizon deal aims to destroy Net Neutrality

Posted in Google by Conner Flynn on August 5th, 2010

Google and Verizon are discussing a partnership(Made in hell) that could result in American internet freedom taking a few backward steps and destroying net neutrality as we know it. This would go against all that Google and Verizon have stated in the past about keeping the net neutral and open to ‘ensure the openness of the web around the world.’

The agreement could give Verizon the ability to do whatever it wants when it comes to managing wireless broadband, through mobile hotspots or Android handsets.

Samsung sending free Galaxy S handsets to unhappy iPhone 4 users on Twitter?

Posted in Samsung by Conner Flynn on July 24th, 2010

Samsung has been quietly giving out free Galaxy S handsets (the European version) to a few lucky British Twitter users. Apparently four of them were complaining about their iPhone 4s, while the fifth guy needed help to choose between the Desire, iPhone 4 and Galaxy S.

It looks like they are only picking certain ones though for some cheap publicity. For instance, Tiffany works in Digital Marketing for Condé Nast. The other ones also appear to be involved in marketing or publishing, with the exception of one student.

Can you believe WoW is still going strong after all these years? And StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is on it’s way now too. And WoW players need every edge they can get, even if it comes in the form of a foot pedal that looks like your grandma’s sewing pedal.

This one-button pedal will help players perform macro actions using just their feet, freeing up both hands for other important uses. For just $30 you can get your feet in the game and gain some extra advantage on screen.

iMovie hits iTunes App Store

Posted in iTunes by Conner Flynn on June 24th, 2010

So you don’t have an iPhone 4 yet, unless you were lucky enough to have it delivered, but if you did receive Apple’s latest handset, you probably noticed that it doesn’t come with a tool to edit all the 720p footage you just shot.

That’s where iMovie for iPhone comes in handy. It just went live. So feel free to hit up the App Store and buy it for $4.99.

Posted in T-Mobile by Conner Flynn on June 15th, 2010

T-Mobile has announced that it will offer a Father’s Day promotion on Saturday, June 19 where all phones in its stores will be free. That should make dads happy. The phones are free as long as customers sign up for a new family plan or add a line to an existing family plan on a two-year contract. They can get both regular and smartphones without any cost beyond the service.

Handsets will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. T-Mobile also says that there won’t be any rainchecks or exchanges after Saturday. To be clear, a family plan is made up of at least two users, and up to five free handsets can be put under the deal, each with its own two-year contract.

HP set to offer printers with email addresses

Posted in HP by Shane McGlaun on June 7th, 2010

HP purchased Palm not too long ago as a way to get its hands on webOS. Shortly after the purchase was finished, we learned that HP had bigger plans than smartphones for webOS with an eye towards devices like web connected printers and tablets.

I thought webOS in a printer sounded weird at first. The New York Times reports today that HP will have a new line of web-connected printers that will have their own email addresses. I would bet several of these will be running webOS.

Ford adds free new features to Sync platform

Posted in Automotive by Shane McGlaun on May 27th, 2010

I have mentioned how cool the Microsoft Sync system in my Ford car is. At first glance, it seems to just be a hands free system for mobile phones, but closer inspection reveals a very robust system that lets the driver do lots of things using their voice.

Ford has announced that it is adding new features the Sync platform for drivers of 2010 and 2011 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. The new features work with cars equipped with the Sync Traffic, Directions, & Information (TDI) app installed.

Velcro makes the iPad even more versatile

Posted in iPad by Conner Flynn on May 23rd, 2010

This is the kind of forehead slappin duh innovation that we love to see around here. It’s so simple, we wish we had thought of it. When you attach velcro to your shiny new iPad, it turns Apple’s portable tablet into a wall-mountable hands-free display, but that’s not all.

With velcro there are probably hundreds of new ways to use the iPad. How about as a GPS unit mounted on your motorcycle’s gas tank? Risky for your iPad, but it works. Jesse Rosten demonstrates some interesting uses of velcro in the below video.
