Which ISP Throttles Bittorrent the Most?
Like UnlikeThe Measurement Lab program conducted a study between mid-2008 and mid-2010 to see which ISP was the least bittorrent friendly (i.e. throttling down data transfer rates for the protocol). Turns out the historically-hostile Comcast wasn't the worst.
According to TorrentFreak, Comcast has been pretty neutral towards bittorrent after the government ordered them to stop capping ports (they were limiting 49 percent of all bittorrent traffic at that time), and only limited three percent of bittorrent traffic in the two year span. In the US, Clearwire was the worst, stifiling 17 of all torrent transfers, while Canada's Rogers was the worst worldwide, slowing down 78% of bittorrent connections. And...

Verizon: 2m iPhone 4 sales, iPhone 4S demand still huge
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4iPhone 4s
Verizon has announced its Q3 2011 financial results, confirming that around two million iPhone 4 handsets were activated during the three month period, and revealing that first-day iPhone 4S sales were so strong that the carrier still lacks stock. Of the 5.6m smartphones Verizon sold in Q3, over half ran Android; that contrasts with AT&T’s figures from earlier in the week, where the iPhone continued to monopolize smartphone sales.

ASUS Zenbook gets taken apart, finds the peace within
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksASUSZENBOOK UX21E
It's certainly not very Zen, but AnandTech has pried open ASUS' 11.6-inch ultrabook to see exactly what makes it all tick. The Zenbook's innards are all tightly packed together inside the oh-so-thin casing, with the UX21's slim-line cooler covering both of the Intel Core i7-2677M processors. The 128GB model has been given an ADATA SDD, while the bigger 256GB version runs on SanDisk storage, with the WiFi card contorted to squeeze inside the aluminum alloy body. ASUS has extended its design sensibilities outside of the tightly-packed casing, with the Microsoft serial number and certificate transplanted to the power unit, which leaves the Zenbook's slick design lines and finish peacefully unta...

All Sony Ericsson smartphones announced this year will get Android 4.0
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSony EricssonGoogleAndroid 4.0
Sony Ericsson confirmed that all of its 2011 smartphones will get Android 4.0. The Dutch arm of the Swedish-Japanese handset maker turned to Facebook to announce the news, which will affect a number of devices such as Xperia Play, neo, neo V, mini, mini pro, Ray, Pro, active, arc and arc S. In other words, the new Android Ice Cream Sandwich is optimized enough to be able to run on phones with a single-core 1GHz processor or at least Sony Ericsson thinks so. The company will first release Gingerbread 2.3.4 updates, though.

Toshiba announces 6.1 inch LCD panel, 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution
Like UnlikeFiled in: Toshiba
When Apple introduced the iPhone 4 roughly 16 months ago, they couldn’t shut up about the 3.5 inch “retina display”. After having used that display for over a year, this writer has become the biggest pixel density fanboi lucky enough to have a soap box to stand on that’s read by millions of people every month. Once you break the 300 pixel per inch barrier, there’s no going back, which is why we were floored when Samsung and Google announced the Galaxy Nexus last week in Hong Kong.

Anyone with a Smart Cover Can Break into Your iPad 2
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 2
In a pretty sizable and scary (and weird!) security bug, Apple's Smart Cover can be used to unlock any iPad 2, even if there's a passcode on it. Here's how it works. And here's how to fix it.
We've confirmed the security flaw with our own Smart Covers and iPad 2s running iOS 5 and it's just like the video above—the bug easily exposes your iPad 2 to unwanted eyes. And though you have to jump through a few hoops to get there, it works like this:
• Lock a passcode enabled iPad 2
• Hold down power button until it reaches the shutoff slider screen
• Close Smart Cover
• Open Smart Cover
• Click cancel

Nexus One takes a bite out of Ice Cream Sandwich, chews slowly
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleNexus OneAndroid 4.0
The Nexus One, grandaddy of Android's latest pure-bred wonder, appears to have some fight left in it. Developer drl33tmd has managed to coax the old man into running an early port of Ice Cream Sandwich, although it's not perfect. The somewhat unstable build is a bit sluggish, and suffers from media playback issues and a distinct lack of WiFi. Check out the demo after the break to see the original Google smartphone struggle up some increasingly steep software stairs.

Samsung Stratosphere, Motorola Droid RAZR to be first Verizon LTE phones with Micro SIMs?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungMotorolaVerizon WirelessStratosphereDROID RAZR
Looks like Verizon's got a hardware-crush on teensy 3FF Micro SIMs. The carrier's two latest 4G handsets, Samsung's Stratosphere and Motorola's Droid RAZR, both appear to make do with the diminutive cards. Neither, however, would be the first, as that honor was bestowed upon the carrier's version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. If you're eager to call one of these devices your own, but already sport Big Red's LTE service, then get set to bust out the scissors for a little SIM card arts and crafts. Further pictorial proof of these itsy, bitsy modules awaits you at the source.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA800
Both Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and Microsoft chief Steve Ballmer have as good as confirmed that Nokia's first batch of Windows Phone handsets will be unveiled at Nokia World next week.
But that's not soon enough for the ever-hungry internet, as pictures of two of the line-up have made their way online.
The Nokia 800, previously known as the Sea Ray, is basically a rebadged Nokia N9 running Windows Phone 7.5 rather than the doomed MeeGo OS.
