Netflix agrees UK streaming deal with the BBC
Like UnlikeSpooks, Torchwood, Top Gear, and the eternally popular Doctor Who — all these BBC shows will be available to stream as part of your Netflix subscription when the American entertainment service launches in the UK and Ireland early next year. Netflix and the BBC just revealed their agreement for streaming of previous series of those and other programmes produced by the British broadcaster. No financial details are being disclosed and, unlike most of Netflix's other UK deals, this is not an exclusive, but it's still a major scoop for the US newcomer. The BBC's own TV catchup service, iPlayer, keeps some prior episodes of most shows, but they tend to have an expiry period after their terrestrial...

Installing Google Wallet on the Nexus Just Got Way Easier
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Nexus CDMA
erizon thought it was sooo slick, blocking Google Wallet on the new Galaxy Nexus in order to promote its in-house alternative. Too bad Verizon didn't count on the Internet.
Thanks to some kindly souls over at the XDA-Developers Forum, Google Wallet is now available on the Nexus—without hacks or roots. They were able to modify the app to work on the Nexus and install as an APK. Nexus users will need a file explorer to locate the app once its on the phone but that's about it. The APK is available for download...

Only at Google Music: millions of tracks for 49 cents each
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Right after the 10-day 10-cent app extravaganza, Google is at it again with another blowout sale. This time, it is music that is being discounted – Google has slashed the price of over half a million albums down to $4.99. That also means that about ten million tracks can be purchased for a mere 49 cents, or about half their original price. And what makes things even better is that the hottest, most popular titles and the best oldies are both included in the sale.
It is not quite clear, however, how long the promo will run for. It could be just a holiday special, so it would be a good idea to act fast and grab all your favorite tunes on the cheap before it is too late. Just click the source ...

Nokia's CES 2012 press invite confirms Windows Phone device launch
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7Windows Phone 7.5
Next month thousands of people will convene in Las Vegas, Nevada to attend the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. If you’ve never been to CES, it’s worth checking out. If you’re a member of the press however, CES is about as terrifying as being diagnosed with testicular cancer. It’s three days of pushing, shoving, running to meetings, networking, drinking, and eating stuff that’s called food, but really it’s just a cocktail of cheap highly processed chemicals. After my fourth or fifth CES I made a promise to myself to never, ever, go there again. It’s honestly that bad. Anyway, why is CES so freaking important in the first place? It’s where nearly every company on the face of the planet announc...

Huawei Honor lands in America on Cricket Wireless for just $250
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHuaweiHonor
No one in living in a rich Western country takes Huawei seriously because of their reputation for making cheap low end Android smartphones. All that’s about to change thanks to the Honor. Announced back in late August, we got some hands-on time with the Honor earlier this month and came away impressed. Make no mistake, it’s no where near the fit and finish of something like the Samsung Galaxy S II or Apple iPhone 4S, but it’s a huge step up from previous Huawei devices. Best of all, it’s still priced well within most people’s budgets. When we played with the Honor we were told it would come in at less than $300 unsubsidized. Today we can finally confirm that the Honor is indeed coming to Ame...

Apple acquires Israeli flash memory firm Anobit for $500 million
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Apple has reportedly completed its acquisition of Israel-based flash memory firm Anobit in a deal worth up to $500 million. Hebrew-language financial newspaper Calcalist on Tuesday claimed that a deal had been reached after reporting earlier this month that Apple was in late-stage talks to buy the fabless chip maker. Apple has not confirmed the acquisition. Anobit’s website says its proprietary technology “significantly improves endurance, performance and cost of flash storage products and systems,” and Apple already uses Anobit’s chips in a number of its mobile devices and notebook computers.
