FCC offers ’simple’ ‘tips’ for avoiding pesky early termination fees
Posted on May 26, 2010 | No CommentsThe government is just about the last place we'd look for helpful pointers on much of anything, much less when shopping for a new phone -- but that didn't stop the FCC's Consumer Task Force from whipping up a PDF of things you can to do prevent yourself from getting burned with a multi-hundred dollar early termination fee when buying the handset of your wildest dreams. There's nothing in here that isn't obvious to a seasoned phone buyer -- buy the phone at full price instead, ask about a trial period, look into proration, and so on -- but it goes without saying that these are the kinds of tidbits average consumers should know before setting foot in the store. Perhaps the more interesting thing about this effort on the FCC's part is that it indicates the feds haven't forgotten about the stink it made about rising ETFs not long ago -- and AT&T's move to hop on the bandwagon can't be helping to smooth things over in Washington. Anyhow, go get your learn on before some seedy carrier sales rep takes advantage of you, won't you?

HP To Buy Palm for $1.2 Billion
Posted on April 28, 2010 | No Comments
Breaking news, fresh off of the wire: HP just finalized agreements to buy Palm for $1.2 billion dollars.
HP's $1.2 billion dollar purchase breaks down to roughly $5.70 per share of common stock. While this is spot on with the $1.2-$1.3 billion pricetag Palm was rumored to be shopping around as of late, it's still a mammoth difference from what Palm was trading at just months ago. In October 2009, Palm was worth about $17.46 per share; by January of this year, that was down to $13.41. It has, unfortunately, been a downward spiral ever since.

Construct your own Head Mounted Display for fun and profit
Posted on February 13, 2010 | No Comments
While you jerks are wasting away watching the Olympics this weekend, I'm going to attempt to make this sweet-ass Head Mounted Display. The Instructable doesn't seem that hard. Basically I'll just be transplanting the screens from my busted Myvu personal media glasses into some utility or ski glasses. Maybe I'll make one for me and one for the wife, solving my Valentine's Day shopping conundrum.

Mountain Dew and Pepsi Throwback bring real sugar back to sodas once again

Online Holiday Spending Reaches $25 Billion; Shows Strong Growth In Consumer Electronics Sales
Posted on December 30, 2009 | No Comments
The numbers are in. And they look good. It appears that online holiday spending rose slightly this year, by 5 percent, to $27 billion for the shopping season from November 1 through Christmas Eve, according to comScore. For the time period from Black Friday through Christmas Eve, sales showed a slight uptick, rising 3.5 percent. With respect to individual product categories, consumer electronics saw yearly sales growth of slightly over 20 percent, while sales of jewelry and watches also rose.
From reports over the past few months, the numbers indicated that the total online spending would be higher this year than last, when the U.S. spending was blindsided with a crippling recession. The final shopping weekend before Christmas saw a 13 percent growth rate in online spending from the previous year, thanks to the wintry mess that hit the Eastern Seaboard. And the full week posted a 6 percent yearly increase in spending, setting a one-week sales record with more than $4.8 billion in spending. Online sales numbers from Black Friday and Cyber Monday also appeared to be stronger than last year.

Verizon’s Droid and Droid Eris going BOGO this weekend?
Posted on December 3, 2009 | No Comments
We're not saying you should do anything rash and sign up for two lines when you only need one, but we're sure there are plenty of people out there still shopping for a last-minute First Weekend of December gift -- and it looks like Verizon might have just the ticket. The rumor going around right now is that Big Red is going to pony up its Droid and Droid Eris for buy-one-get-one-free deals starting this Friday running through the following Monday. If you've already bought one though, don't fret: the rumor goes on to say that customers who've picked up their phones in the last 30 days will also be eligible, which kinda makes sense when you consider that Verizon's got a 30-day return policy anyhow. So, what do you think? Droid for the mister, Droid Eris for the missus? Vice versa?Verizon's Droid and Droid Eris going BOGO this weekend? originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Thu, 03 Dec 2009 09:12:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Yeah, Apple wasn’t integral in Light Peak transfer technology
Posted on September 30, 2009 | No Comments
So Apple wasn't so integral in that whole Light Peak thing after all. Rumors that Apple was integral in the design Light Peak process seem to be false which could put a damper on Apple's plans to implement the technology in its new hardware.

Nvidia’s wee netbook will be called the Firefly
Posted on July 23, 2009 | No Comments
Nvidia is shopping around a design prototype running their Tegra ARM processor, a chip powerful enough to run Wind CE and power a wee keyboard and screen.
Tegra was supposed to change the way we thought about smartphones a few months ago but the chipset never took off. Sadly, this doesn't seem like it will make any headway either.
