Sony VAIO Z Series: Core i7 CPU, four SSDs, 13.1 inches at 3.2 pounds
Posted on January 19, 2010 | No Comments
Carbon fiber, people. That’s the ticket right there. It’s the miracle substance that allows Sony to stuff super fast components into a 13.1-inch laptop while keeping the weight at around 3.2 pounds. And while most ultraportable notebooks favor style over substance, the impending VAIO Z Series due from Sony in March will feature an Intel Core i7 CPU, NVIDIA graphics, 1920x1080 screen resolution, and the ability to stack four solid state drives in a Raid 0 configuration. Again, all at just over three pounds.

Juniper wants to make the “iPhone of networking”
Posted on October 30, 2009 | No Comments
So Juniper Networks makes network hardware. And they want to make an "iPhone of networking?" What could that be? A small networking device that's insanely possibly and considered polarizing? Nah. It's just a new logo, faster chips, and new software. This is all the beat Cisco, which is kind of futile.
Essentially what Juniper is doing is creating an app store for their routers, which is actually kind of cool. Sadly, things are a little rough for developers right now:

AT&T ponies up $60 unlimited GoPhone plan
Posted on October 9, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: ATT
It may not be the cheapest unlimited around -- Boost, Cricket, and MetroPCS have all gone lower -- but AT&T figures that it can throw its network and brand recognition around as bargaining chips to get customers to pay $60 a month for pay-as-you-go unlimited voice and messaging through the company's GoPhone prepaid brand. The zinger here is that the plan also includes texting to Canada, Mexico, and 100 other countries, so it's actually a pretty good deal if you've got a lot of buddies chilling in Calgary or Cancun. It'll be available starting October 12, but there's nothing stopping you from lining up now outside your AT&T store -- just be prepared for some odd stares.

Video: Nokia’s product testing labs in 3 minutes, 42 seconds
Posted on October 7, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Nokia
We had a chance to take a tour of Nokia's research and development facility in San Diego this week -- and while we're afraid to say we didn't see any Maemo 6-powered devices or Symbian^4 emulators lying around, we did see some pretty cool stuff, particularly in the product testing laboratories where engineering samples and final products are put through pure hell. The idea is to simulate years' worth of real-life product use in just a few days -- individual tests last anywhere from a few hours to three weeks or longer -- by pressing buttons, sliding sliders, actuating hinges, heating, cooling, wetting, drying, dropping, whacking, shaking, rubbing, bending, and generally defacing the phones in every way imaginable. Once a phone finally breaks, they look for obvious reasons -- cracked plastic, broken springs, and the like -- but if that initial analysis fails, they've got a well-equipped lab on site complete with a scanning electron microscope and CT scanner for taking microscopic looks at failed components in both two and three dimensions; from here, they can find broken connections on chips, incorrectly-fabricated materials, and the occasional ant eye magnified a couple thousand times (it's posted on the wall in the lab, and yes, it's scary). Follow the break for a cheerful montage of a few Nokia phones getting mercilessly beaten beyond recognition.

Rogers confirms inexplicable 8GB iPhone 3GS – UPDATE
Posted on August 10, 2009 | No Comments
Rogers Canada has let the proverbial ninja out of the dojo by posting a "comparison chat" of multiple iPhone models, including the elusive 8GB 3GS. Why are they selling the 8GB? Who knows. Maybe it's a little bit cheaper and maybe Apple just had extra 8GB chips. Or maybe Canadians, being socialists, don't like digital media.
UPDATE - This was a website mistake. It's being fixed right now. There is no 8GB 3GS.
