Study: Smartphone Users Wasting Hundreds Of Dollars Per Year On Unnecessary Contracts
Telecom companies charge way too much for their services anyways. Signing up for one of these over-priced contracts wastes even more money and makes the filthy bastards running these companies even richer!
:mad002:
A new study says that smartphone users are overpaying for their service by several hundred dollars each and every year. The study, put together by Billmonitor, notes that people are overspending primarily because they’re on contracts that wildly overshoot their needs. People have a habit of signing up for contracts with far more voice minutes than they use, and it’s primarily for this reason that smartphone users are paying much more than they need to. In other words, double-check your statement to make sure you’re on the right contract.

Apple Facing Class Action Lawsuit Over In App Purchases
Here's an interesting problem with Apple products for parents. Supposedly Apple has solved this problem, but as anyone who uses iTunes knows, Apple is always looking for a sneaky way to make a buck!

Why are iPhones Tracking Users' Locations?
My guess is that this same thing happens with other phones too. I wouldn't be surprised if thumbnails of the pictures you take get uploaded also. If they can collect the info, they will! :pacman:

Android, Chrome OS, and Ubuntu United in One Platform
Great idea. It looks like it needs a little work, but hopefully it will continue to be developed! :pacman:
Recently, however, Always Innovating has created an option that allows users to avoid choosing altogether. A new platform demonstrated recently by the company on YouTube (video below) combines Canonical's Ubuntu and Google's Android and Chrome OS with its own, custom Linux-based operating system to offer a quad-boot alternative. Yes, that's four operating systems in one, downloadable for free from Always Innovating's site in just 2.04GB.

Why 4G May Not Be as Great as You Think
It's a matter of how much bang do you get for your buck!
:yup:
With every major mobile internet provider busy launching and touting their new brand of 4G service, even if some of them are actually just jumped up 3G networks with a bit of marketing sheen added to them, it’s easy to fall into the sort of easy optimism shiny new technology usually entails. Mobile providers always put out incredible theoretical numbers that should blow away even the DSL you’re currently reading this on. Some even put on elaborate demonstrations designed to garner word of mouth and positive press. But we’re rather skeptical of the utopian visions of broadband-beating mobile speeds 4G is being counted on to bring about.

The Physics of Angry Birds
A lot of math and physics goes into many video games. :pacman:
Galileo discovered the language of nature. Einstein questioned the color of rainbows. Today's physicists ponder the vertical acceleration and horizontal velocity of an angry bird in flight. Cell phone owners from all walks of life have flocked to popular, affordable mobile game Angry Birds for its bite-sized entertainment, quirky humor and cheerful art style. Physicists, however, are taking to the game for an entirely different sort of reason.
