T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42Mbps network faster than Verizon's 4G LTE in 11 cities
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon WirelessT-Mobile
In speed tests conducted by PC Magazine, T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42Mbps 4G network beat Verizon's 4G LTE network in 11 cities. What does PC Magazine think about T-Mobile's HSPA+ service? "It’s really fast, covers a lot of the country and is inexpensive," says the publication. Taking it even further, PC Magazine says that with this type of speed available to its customers, the nation's fourth largest carrier doesn't really need an LTE network except to have the additional spectrum and for marketing purposes. Anyone who thinks that T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42Mbps network doesn't belong in the same conversation as LTE should probably take a look at the numbers

Linus Torvalds: 'fuck you, Nvidia' for not supporting Linux
Like UnlikeLinus Torvalds isn't someone you'd accuse of excessive diplomacy and his answer to a question about Nvidia's lack of support for Linux with its Optimus technology has been far from compromising. When posed with that query during a Q&A session at Aalto University in Finland, Torvalds begins by identifying Nvidia as "the single worst company we've ever dealt with" and goes on to give his assessment of its actions with a resolute "fuck you" and an accompanying middle finger gesture to the camera.
