Taking “Unlimited” to the max with the iPad/AT&T torture test
Posted on May 5, 2010 | No Comments
Zach Epstein from Know Your Cell has managed to burn through 30 gigabytes of data on his iPad in two days, just to test AT&T's claims that the iPad plans are truly unlimited.
30 gigabytes! Two freakin days! AT&T! Unlimited! Fire!
Ok, I made the fire bit up... basically, the upshot is that, yes, when AT&T say "unlimited", they actually mean it this time.

Study: Americans consume 34 gigabytes of information per day
Posted on December 9, 2009 | No CommentsThere's a pretty interesting report that was just published today entitled “How much information?” It was put together by the Global Information Industry of the University of California at San Diego. It looks at the year 2008 and tries to quantify how much information the average American consumes across all forms of media: TV, newspaper, Web sites, radio, you name it. When you crunch all the numbers, it looks like the average American consumes 34 gigabytes of data every single day. (That's 3.6 zettabytes in total.) That's a lot, yes.

Brute forcing success: load any operating system onto your TI-83+ calculator
Posted on August 17, 2009 | No Comments
It's been a very long time since I last used a Texas Instruments graphing calculator. I thought it was cool to write programs on the TI-80 I used in college. It seems that in the time since, things have gotten a little more complex: TI calculators now have cryptographically signed operating systems! Ostensibly this is to prevent clever hackers from loading their own operating systems onto the calculators (the horror!). Leave it to the hackers, though, to find a way to do what they want!

Don’t expect to see World of Warcraft on consoles any time soon
Posted on June 25, 2009 | No CommentsA bit of World of Warcraftnews for you this Thursday afternoon. If given the chance, how many of you would play the game on your Xbox 360 or PS3? It doesn't even matter, as Blizzard's executive vice-president of game design, Rob Pardo, said that producing a console version of the game would run into a whole host of challenges that would need to be overcome. Chief among them: an input device. Do you go create a specially designed WoW controller, or leave it up to people to bring their own mouse and keyboard?
