    Many countries like Japan and those in the European Union are banning electronics made with lead. This is bad news bears for those companies still using lead-based solder. But there's a new kid in town that seems to have a solution while addressing a few other issues surrounding stacked computer chips. The key is magnets.

    HTC patent shows a new, spring-loaded clamshell design

    Posted on February 5, 2010 | No Comments

Looks like they’re at it again, if this just unearthed patent is any indication. The graphic above may be a bit confusing, so here’s how it works: Imagine a clamshell phone, like the [...]

  • AT&T ‘hits’ back at Verizon’s Map for That campaign with an ‘ad’ of its own

    AT&T ‘hits’ back at Verizon’s Map for That campaign with an ‘ad’ of its own

    Posted on November 18, 2009 | No Comments
    Boy, AT&T sure isn't taking Verizon's Map for That campaign too well. After losing a request for an injunction (for now), the company seems to have decided that the only thing to do in the short term is to start advertising right back at Verizon. Unfortunately, it looks like AT&T threw this one together in a hurry, grabbing a bucket of magnets and a board and sticking them into some abandoned warehouse with Luke Wilson and some Apple-ad-style music. Luke didn't even have time to shave! As for the claims made by Luke's magnetic board, it's hard to take issue with them since they don't really say lot. So AT&T's present and accounted for in this newly minted ad war, but Verizon clearly still has the upper hand... though this is clearly just the beginning. Check out the 30 second spot after the break.

    [Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
