CSIRO’s patent fight targets more victims: AT&T, Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile
Posted on May 21, 2010 | No CommentsIs anyone safe from the wrath of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization? It's looking unlikely, with the company expanding its patent lawsuit furor to cover three more major players: AT&T, Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile. These three are the latest cherry-picked to be on the receiving end of CSIRO's mighty 802.11a/g patent hammer. Companies like Dell, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony all chose to settle rather than challenge this patent bully, giving it the encouragement (and cash) to bring the fight to these three new players, apparently named simply because they sold WiFi devices. Sadly, there are more to come according to Executive Director Niger Poole:
Ever pass on an old WiFi-equipped gadget on eBay or gave it to a friend in exchange for a case of beer? Lord Humongous is coming for you next.I'm not going to be exposing what the legal strategy is to a journalist. There's a legal strategy here that has been thought through very carefully and to a lay person it looks like a pincer movement. You've got court action against upstream chip makers and you've got court action against downstream carriers.

eBay Sells 5,000-plus iPads, UAE Buyers Pay Highest Prices
Posted on May 10, 2010 | No Comments
Since iPad's launch, eBay has sold more than 5,300 units across the world, 65% abroad and 35% at home, according to data from eBay that spans from mid-March to mid-April. The UK dominated international sales, with 550 units sold, or roughly 15% of foreign sales. But buyers from the United Arab Emirates were willing to shell out the most cash, with the average buyer paying a hefty premium of $537 (!) for the 64GB version (more than enough to buy a bare bones 16GB Wi-Fi model). Cool infographic from eBay ahead.

If you've got lightning-ninja skills, and a spare $750, you could be the first kid on the blockanywhere to own the new MyTouch Slide. One of the not-to-be-released-for-another-3-weeks-yet phones has been put up for auction/sale on eBay, with a starting price of $750, and a "Buy It Now" price of only $1200. A small price to pay for immortality, right? -
Original Apple TV prototype sells on eBay for $46
Posted on May 5, 2010 | No CommentsBack in the olden days, Apple tried, just like most companies, to make a set-up box. Using Motorola chips and plenty of crazy ports, the iTV was the precursor to something like WebTV and used a Macintosh Quadra 605/LC475 processor and a crazy OS. It wasn’t a really DVR or video player, per se, but [...] -
This iPad clone packs Android 2.1, 10-inch screen, and a 1Ghz Cortex-A8 CPU
Posted on May 3, 2010 | No Comments
iPad clones are hitting the scene at such a rapid pace that we simply can't keep track of all them. Most of them aren't worth your time but this boy is turning heads with specs to die for. Within the clearly iPad-inspired bezel is a 1Ghz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, 512GB or RAM, 10-inch 1024x600 display, and a 2400mAH battery. All that power should run Android 2.1 without breaking a sweat.

This is just sweet. There's no other word for it. Ignore the comical knees and slightly more bulky build, that's the TF2 Spy. He has everything from the smirky grin to his cigerate to his various masks. It's classic.

Are third-party cell phone battery manufacturers deceiving their customers?
Posted on April 21, 2010 | No Comments1400mAh. 2500mAh! 10 million mAh! Ah-ah-ah! The vast majority of consumers don’t have a clue as to what those little numbers on their cell phones battery mean.

More Stargate props up on ebay for nerds like me
Posted on April 15, 2010 | No Comments
I love me some Stargate, but I still can't justify dropping cash on some props. I guess I don't love it that much. But if you do, jump over to ebay where there's another group of Stargate props available. There isn't anything really fun this time around like O'Neill's sunglasses or Teal'c's staff, but there might be something in the group that strikes your fancy. The Stargate Atlantis laptop stickers are available along with Bill Nye's seat back from one of the last episodes and Teal'c's hat.

DIY: Convert a disposable camera into a slave flash
Posted on March 29, 2010 | No Comments
Buying a flash unit can be expensive, but here's a cheapskate alternative that will do the job, at least for a while. Plus, you're recycling a disposable camera into something reusable, and saving all those bits from the landfill. Besides, once you use all of the flash out of one disposable camera, you can always build another one to replace it, and recycle the first one.

iPadDownloads.com on ebay for $1,000,000
Posted on March 22, 2010 | No Comments
Just think how much iPadDownload.com would go for if the iPad was an open device that allowed 3rd party downloads? $1 million would be the opening bid. But because you really can't actually download anything directly to the iPad outside of the App Store and iTune's gated community, iPadDownload.com will probably end up being some malicious wares site that will rake in more cash in a week than most of us will ever see over our lifetimes.
