- Nothing like an Apple IIe, an iPad, and somebody with far too much time on their hands.
- Google Android surpasses iPhone in U.S..
- Speaking of Android, HTC EVO 4G has a release date and price (finally), but it also has a mandatory plan that sucks for people who aren’t in 4G areas (like us). I’d love to get that phone next month, but not with that kind of plan (basically an additional $30/month on top of what I pay now). But it is really fast.
- You want fast wireless? The Wi-Fi Alliance is starting to look at the 60-GHz band and potentially 6 gbps speeds. Considering how long it took them to finally lay down ratification on 802.11n, I wouldn’t expect to see this any time soon.
- Five things MSIE9 is actually doing right.
- Speaking of future browser and Web specs, Tim Bray has some interesting opinions on the Web, HTML 5, and Flash.
- It’s a bug or a feature? In this case, it was a bug that ended up being a well-liked feature.
- If you haven’t heard about the dude that has far too much time on his hands and managed to get a six-million person city in Sim City 2000, read up and watch the video here.
- Sony decided to lock out the ability to install Linux on PS3s, and our military’s a bit miffed.
- A strange, strange man has been showing up on morning shows throughout the Midwest, claiming to be a yo-yo trick champion. He is not. He is actually terrible at yo-yo. Yet he keeps getting on the air. Genius!
- Eight web sites that you and everybody else need to stop building.
- Home Depot Called “Arrogant,” Must Actually Pay Inventor For Invention. The guy had a patent on the thing, yet Home Depot still said “Sue us.” So he is.

I’m getting it but I actually don’t mind paying the extra $10. I don’t plan on using it as a broadband device ..
It’s an additional forced $30, not $10, last I checked, on top of the plan I have now. You have no choice to pay it, whether you use it as a broadband device or not.
