  • UK’s O2 to impose 3G data limits for iPhone 4 users

    UK’s O2 to impose 3G data limits for iPhone 4 users

    Posted on June 10, 2010 | No Comments
    It seems like the entire United Kingdom (at least those who aren't out partying it up with Patsy Kensit at the Met Bar) has emailed us in the last two minutes to clue us in on the fact that O2 has posted its new iPhone 4 pricing. It looks like your beloved "unlimited 3G" plans of are a thing of the past -- instead, you'll be paying for up to 1GB of data of month. As you approach the limit, a text message will notify you and let you purchase an 500MB for £5 or 1GB for £10. How very AT&T of them, eh? But don't worry, kids! Texting is still unlimited.

    [Thanks to everyone who sent this in... and we mean everyone.]

    DuPont working on cheaper ways to make OLED screens

    OLED televisions are notoriously expensive and difficult to make; but like all technologies there is always someone working on making the technology cheaper. DuPont recently announced the development of a new process that prints OLED screens in sheets, much like a inkjet prints on paper.

  • Sony sales numbers reveal surging PS3, waning PSP

    Sony sales numbers reveal surging PS3, waning PSP

    Posted on May 13, 2010 | No Comments
    Sony just released the numbers from the last fiscal year (April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010). The good news (for Sony and its shareholders, at least) is that PS3 sales were up quite a bit from the previous year, going from 10.1 million sold to 13 million this year. The bad news is that PSP sales have hit a bump in the road, going from 14.1 million in to 9.9 million. Translating those numbers into English, that means that the PS3 is doing a heck of a lot better than it ever was, and that the PSP, well, isn't.

    Ready to burn two minutes of your day? I sure hope so, friend, because after the jump is what very well could be the most exciting deconstruction video ever posted to our fine Internet. Here's hoping that this will become the standard format for the obligatory gadget teardown. I don't think I'm the only one tired of looking at a stale pic of a random device's guts. "Yup, there's a circuit board in there." Anyway, click through to watch the the PSP Go in a stop motion video.

    Review: Samsung Behold II

    Short Version: T-Mobile's 4th Android device has a lot going for it. 5.0 megapixel camera, all the smartphone basics, WiFi, 3G, GPS, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. But it feels kinda cheap, runs Android 1.5, and for $229.99? No thank you.

    Video: Wherein CBS makes a fool of itself by showing it has no idea what it’s talking about re: movie piracy

    Bias much, CBS? The network ran a report on 60 Minutes the other day (which shows how far off our radar the show is, seeing as though we just found out about it) that, according to TechDirt's fantastic report, is basically a piece of MPAA propaganda. It makes all sorts of ridiculous claims that can easily be disproven by, you know, spending two minutes looking this stuff up.

    Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 leaked all over the Internet (a full week before its official release)

    Posted on November 3, 2009 | No Comments
    As I cleverly remarked in the official CrunchGear chat room, that a video game leaks a few days before its release is par for the course. When the biggest video game of the year leaks a full week before its release date, it's worth noting. So that's what I'm doing right now: Activision's Modern Warfare 2 has leaked. It's available where you usually find such things.

    Study: Use of the Internet can help the elderly’s brain functionality

    Posted on October 20, 2009 | No Comments
    Good news, everyone. All this Internet use may be slowing the onset of dementia. So says, sorta, a recent UCLA study that I'm sure every media outlet, including this one, has oversimplified. The study looked at a group of 55-78 year-old, half of whom never use the Internet, then told 'em to go home and do a few Web searches. The findings, again, wildly oversimplified, suggest that the brain is able to adapt to this flood of new information (the stimuli, at least) and can then “alter the way the brain encodes new information.”

    Andrés Iniesta is a good footballer. Cesc Fàbregas is a good footballer. Need I say more? Yes, actually, I do for it to make sense here. Nike has some fancy new soccer boot that's it's launching aside an interactive digital training tool that you can use on a Web site, or on your iPhone or iPod touch. Very exciting.

    District 9 director hasn’t totally ruled out returning to Halo movie

    Posted on September 12, 2009 | No Comments
    Not too long ago, we gave our thoughts on the movie District 9. We did so because it was a big sci-fi movie, and that's just close enough to the tech-science nexus on which we operate that it justified a quick post. Seeing as though it's the weekend, and you really all ought to be watching La Liga or playing 360/PS3, we'll just take two minutes to highlight this interview with the movie's director, Neill Blomkamp.

  • Guess why the big ISPs have refused broadband stimulus money

    Guess why the big ISPs have refused broadband stimulus money

    Posted on August 14, 2009 | No Comments
    There's two ways to look at the story that many of the country's biggest ISPs have refused government stimulus money for broadband infrastructure investment. One, the ISPs patently don't need the money, and are more than capable of delivering broadband to as many Americans as possible with their own capital. Two, the ISPs could use the money, but they'd prefer not to accept it lest they be beholden to all sorts of government-imposed restrictions, one of which relates to net neutrality.

    When was the last time you read your AT&T contract? If you answered “never,” then may I suggest you take two minutes to look this over. That's right, unbeknownst to you, you just lost the ability to enter into a class action lawsuit against the mobile phone carrier. High five!
