San Mateo County police now looking into the lost iPhone prototype
Posted on April 23, 2010 | No Comments
About eighteen seconds after word got out that a prototype of Apple's next iPhone had been lost, found, and then subsequently sold to Gizmodo (for somewhere around $5,000), commenters and pundits everywhere started asking: is all this legal? There are a bunch of complicated laws involving the ownership and selling of lost goods -- not to mention lost top-secret intellectual property -- and this iPhone seemed to be sitting in a pretty nasty gray area.
Turns out, the people of the Internets aren't the only ones interested -- police in the county of San Mateo are curious, as well.

The best comment ever
Posted on April 8, 2010 | No Comments
I knew we'd probably get plenty of comments on the iPad Review and I honestly enjoy the back and forth. But there's one type of comment we always see and it basically says "Why is this on my browser?" Clearly, commenter Krugeri knows the answer: our commenters have been kidnapped by an international group of terrorists and are being forced to read reviews against their will.

New Google Mobile App adds Voice Search support for iPod
Posted on February 20, 2010 | No Comments
Google has submitted a new version of its Google Mobile App for the iPhone platform (iTunes link), and the fresh app now finally boasts built-in support for Voice Search on iPod touch devices (2G or newer).
Version 0.4.5.3281 also brings improved stability when using Voice Search on 'restrictive networks' and is also said to make Search by Voice completion detection function a bit better. Other than that, the update brings a number of bug fixes, one that fixes pasting into the search box and one that should prevent the app from crashing when you do a search for '@'.

RCA Airnergy promises usable power generated from Wi-Fi signals. Possible?
Posted on January 13, 2010 | No CommentsI’m a simple man. I understand certain things. How ambient Wi-Fi signals could be converted into enough energy to charge a BlackBerry is something I do NOT understand. However, RCA not only showed off the technology at CES but the device will apparently be available by the summer and it’ll only cost $40. OhGizmo! tells us [...] -
Achtung! Motorola Milestone now free on contract in Germany, sort of
Posted on November 17, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, Motorola, O2, Android
Already jealous of the multitouch functionality afforded by Motorola Droids (or Milestones, as it were) sold outside the United States? Well, you might just want to look away for this one -- it seems that that O2 is now practically giving away the phone in Germany. Specifically, it's selling it for a mere €1 with a 2 year-contract, which itself can be had for as little as €20 per month. As with other non-US carries, however, you'll have to make do without Google's own free navigation service, but you will at least get a 60-day Motorola's MotoNAV service in its place, and the endless joy that comes from telling your American friends that you got a free Droid.
[Via MobileTechWorld; thanks Bob]
Update: As some commenters have helpfully pointed out, that €20 a month for two years is actually on top of a standard contract, which certainly makes the deal a tad less attractive -- although you can technically still walk away with a Droid for just a handful of Euros.Achtung!

Feel free to drink your shower water, kids
Posted on August 26, 2009 | No CommentsNormally, you probably wouldn't consider drinking your own shower water after you had used it, but throw a couple of plants in there and you may well reconsider. Or, perhaps you'll react like the Drudge-ushered Daily Mail commenters and say stuff like “WHAT IS THIS GARBAGE, I EARN THE RIGHT TO WASTE WATER AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF SOME EGGHEAD SCIENTIST SAYS OTHERWISE.”

Rumor: Nokia orders its first batch of netbooks
