    Sprint ships dual-model 3G / 4G 250U USB WWAN modem, invites Mac to the party

    Remember that cute-as-a-button 3G / 4G dual-mode WWAN stick that Clearwire outed a few days back? That little guy just made its way over to the Sprint side of things, giving folks yet another option when it comes time to pull the trigger on a device to get you onto the WiMAX superhighway. The Sierra Wireless-built 250U is available now through Business Direct and Business Solutions Partners followed by full channel availability by mid-July, with this bugger being the first in Sprint's arsenal to offer native dual-mode support in OS X as well as twin antenna ports. Naturally, Windows machines are also compatible, and the minuscule design sure makes it more attractive than those prone-to-snapping alternatives. It's available for precisely nothing so long as you sign a two-year data plan.

    FoxSoccer.tv learns that Web sites work best when they’re actually online

    Call me crazy, but Web sites usually work best when they're online. Nobody knows this better than we do here at CrunchGear, where the site is down a good 20 percent of the time. But at the very least you're not paying for our crummy service, unlike the poor FoxSoccer.tv customers. Fox wants $45 per season for online access to a whole host of content, including live games from all over the world. It's really not a bad service when it works, but when it doesn't work people freak out, and rightfully so.

    Messi: You know you’re good when people compare you to a PlayStation!

    How do you know when you're a great athlete? Oh, I don't know, maybe when the top-tier manager of the opposing team calls you a PlayStation! Like, you're so good it's almost as if someone goes into Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer or EA Sports' FIFA, creates a player, than gives said player 12 out of 10 in all the key stats: speed, attack, technical skill, etc. Leo Messi is like a PlayStation.

    Apps of the Month: Best iPhone Apps of October 2009

    100,000. That's the number of iPhone apps that have been approved to be sold on Apple's App Store. So how the hell do you decide which ones to buy? Well, you could surf through the App Store's featured list, but that means you're only buying the ones Apple wants you to buy. Or, you could scour through the App Store's Genius recommendations - which are still not perfect in my opinion. To help you with this problem, we're going to create a "best of" list of the iPhone apps we enjoyed the most each month.
