Nvidia promises to ship next-gen Kepler GPU this year (not!)
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
Update (8/5): Nvidia has clarified a previous statement regarding availability of its next-gen GPU codenamed Kepler. In a nutshell, Nvidia won't be shipping any final products using the new silicon this year. "Although we will have early silicon this year, Kepler-based products are actually scheduled to go into production in 2012. We wanted to clarify this so people wouldn’t expect product to be available this year," said Ken Brown, a spokesman for Nvidia. Both AMD's and Nvidia's upcoming GPUs are slated to use a new 28nm process technology, with the likely possibility of brand new Radeon graphics cards making it into the market before the end of the year.

Netflix passes 1 million subscribers in Canada
Like UnlikeNetflix has announced it recently passed 1 million members in Canada. The streaming giant says it surpassed its own expectations for growth, achieving the milestone in just 10 months.
The 1 millionth member actually registered last month. Amanda Bell James, from Flin Flon, Manitoba, joined Netflix and instantly won a lifetime Netflix membership.
"We're thrilled that Canadians have embraced Netflix so rapidly, and we're equally proud to have welcomed one million members in such a short period," Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO and co-founder, said in a statement.

US Court: Cops Can Constitutionally Seize Your Web Domain
Like UnlikePart of ICE's super domain snatching spree is a site called Rojadirecta.com, which streamed sports programming. The owners cried foul: there was legal content on the site, and shuttering the whole thing suppressed free speech. A US judge: nope.
United States District Court Judge Paul Crotty isn't buying Rojadirecta's argument, and says the 1st Amendment stands unscathed by knocking out American domains:

HTC buys Dashwire to bolster cloud services
Like UnlikeFiled in: HTC
HTC plans to make its Sense UI much more cloud-friendly with the $18.5 million purchase of the cloud-service provider Dashwire.
“Cloud services are key to delivering the promise of connected services to our customers,” said Fred Liu, HTC president of engineering and operations, in a prepared statement. “People want access to all of their important content wherever they are on any device,” he added.
The Dashwire team was responsible for multiple cloud services for mobile phones, including the aptly named Awesome Drop. This is a cloud-based file syncing program which has the neat ability to let you drag and drop files in a browser to have it sync to your Android phone. It’s a very “Wow” moment...

AT&T to cancel unlimited data plans for users illegally tethering
Like UnlikeFiled in: AT&T
According to information obtained by 9to5Mac, AT&T is actively moving users who make use of grandfathered, unlimited smartphone data plans for tethering, switching them to a current, and more expensive, tethering plan with a data cap. Previously AT&T had only warned such users that they needed to switch.
AT&T is sending letters out to users illegally tethering that gives them two options: stop tethering, or be switched off of the unlimited data plan that they are grandfathered into and be signed up for a limited data plan with a tethering option. The switch will occur after the date noted in each letter sent to the user, so AT&T is giving just a little more time for users to clean up their a...

Additional details about Sony's two tablets S1 and S2 revealed
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSonyTablet STablet P
Sony never really went into details when it announced its two Honeycomb tablets – S1 and S2. Now we have few additional tidbits of information to share, though we still don’t have the complete picture.
First of all, we know that the S1 — which is the one with a single 9.4-inch IPS LCD display with the TruBlack and BRAVIA technologies — will be available in 4 versions. Users will get to choose between 16 and 32 GB of built-in storage and whether they want the 3G+Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi only version. Moreover, we’ve heard the S1′s battery life will be comparable to that of Apple’s iPad 2, which is about 10 hours.
As for the S2, at least initially it will only be available with both 3G and Wi-Fi connect...

Dell Venue Pro now available for 199 Euro without contract!
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesDellVenue Pro
If you are Nokia hater like me, but you would like to get decent Windows Phone 7 device, then you can get one if you live or visit Germany:
The phone has slide-out QWERTY keyboard (or QWERTZ to be precise as it is German version) and features 16 GB and 1GHz processor. Interestingly both Dell and other online retailers still offer this phone for 399 Euro, so this discount price at Media Markt is exceptionally low, particularly considering that it is a phone without contract. It’s almost prepaid phone price!
With the new firmware update for the Dell Venue Pro fixing most of the complaints about the device, and Mango on the horizon, it may just be a great deal.

If you are one of those brave souls that are always poking around your phone despite that the warranty period just started, you might have gotten unlucky with the Motorola PHOTON 4G and hard-bricked the device, trying to go above and beyond what its creator and carrier intended.
Fortunately, if your Motorola PHOTON 4G had been lying at the bottom of your drawer after unsuccessful attempt to root or apply some other voodoo on it, now XDA-Devs have a solution.

Droid Bionic loses FCC confidentiality, gets updated with pics and user manual
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID BIONIC
When it rains, it pours, and the latest in the torrential downpour of Droid Bionic news comes straight from the FCC itself: we've got a manual. The user's guide starts by confirming the usual suspects: a 1GHz dual-core processor, 4G LTE, a 4.3" screen and a rear-facing camera capable of capturing 1080p video. The good stuff comes in on page thirteen: the Motorola XT375 supports LTE, CDMA, GSM, and UTMS, a world phone with support for over 200 countries, but unlike its WiMax cousin, the Photon, UMTS support is limited to 2100MHz only. The familial similarities are still there, however, as it seems that the Bionic uses the same connector layout (microUSB / microHDMI) as the Photon, but shifted...

Samsung Hercules confirmed as a T-Mobile Galaxy S II variant
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II T-Mobile
The picture almost says it all: the Galaxy S II is coming to T-Mobile. Except it's slightly more complicated than that. According to TmoNews, you're actually looking at the back of the new Samsung Hercules -- a handset rumored to possess godly specs, which we already knew was heading to both T-Mo and Telus, and which is now confirmed as an honest-to-goodness Galaxy S II variant. It's similar to the original superphone in many respects, but it has a slightly larger 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen like the Infuse 4G, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor that's possibly a Qualcomm instead of Sammy's own Exynos, and a 42Mbps HSPA+ radio. The rounded corners of the back cover also look distinctly simil...

Well, if you are an AT&T or T-Mobile customer and don't mind spending the money, an unlocked version of the phone offered right now by Newegg will let you use the pipelines belonging to the two GSM mobile operators (although AT&T users will have 3G only).

Screenshots of the HTC Puccini are leaked
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTC
With a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and a 10 inch display with 1280 x 800 resolution, the HTC Puccini was made to compete with the other 10 inch Android tablets like the Motorola XOOM and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The Taiwan based firm did take the Scribe Technology from its 7 inch HTC Flyer and has made the stylus a dedicated part of the larger tablet. The camera on the back will be 8MP and yes, there will also be a front-facing lens. The Android Honeycomb OS will be running the show.
HTC has certainly customized this tablet as you can tell from the screenshot of the QWERTY which shows that a numeric pad will be used for quick entry of numbers. Besides the bloatware that AT&T so generously...

AT&T ramps up voicemail security, say hello to your new pin code
Like UnlikeFiled in: AT&T
Have anything sitting in your voicemail that you'd prefer the rest of the world didn't hear? When's the last time you went about checking it, anyway? AT&T is now on a mission to save its carefree customers from themselves, and beginning today, all new subscribers will be required to set a voicemail password or affirmatively disable the security measure. Ma Bell's new policy is a reaction to the current unauthorized intrusion hubbub in the media, combined with the very real threat of caller ID spoofing. Shockingly, its current customers won't receive similar treatment until early next year, and only when they upgrade their handsets. Of course, you can easily secure your voicemail within the s...
