Angry Beaver Causes 20-Hour Internet Outage In New Mexico

Angry Beaver Causes 20-Hour Internet Outage In New Mexico

Nowadays, having an uninterrupted Internet connection in your home is crucial when you consider just how dependent we've all become on communicating with everyone we know through social media, instant messaging and emails. If something goes wrong, I know I personally run around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to figure out what could be the problem. Some residents of Northern New Mexico went through a 20-hour Internet and cellphone outage last week, and it wasn't due to their providers screwing something up. Instead, it was due to a beaver.

Just a couple of days ago, we did bring you word that Foursquare now allows your friends to check you in, which makes the app all the more social. Well, at the second day of the Microsoft BUILD conference, Microsoft has not quite run out of tricks and rabbits to pull from their magic hat, having announced that Foursquare is currently working on its first native tablet app, and it will be released for tablets that run on Windows 8 as well as Windows RT tablets. So far, Foursquare already has 35 million subscribers, and as you can see in the video above, the interface as well as design of the new app is certainly pleasing to the eye.

MIT Researchers Invents Wi-Vi Vision

Superman has his X-ray vision which certainly ought to have him figure out just what Lois Lane is wearing as a surprise for him later in the night, but none of us are children of Krypton, right. Hence, to achieve X-ray vision somewhat could prove to be an extremely challenging task even for the most brilliant minds in the world. Still, researchers over at MIT have been working on a system that they call Wi-Vi, where they claim is able to track moving objects that are behind walls through the use of an inexpensive, nearly ubiquitous wireless system.

T-Mobile schedules July 10th press event, prepares to show you their "boldest moves yet"


Better hold onto your butts, boys and girls. Seems T-Mobile is getting ready to unleash a world of hurt on the mobile industry if this press invite is any indication. You'll notice from the invite that, of course, not much information was given (not a device silhouette, nothing) — only something T-Mobile is teasing as their “boldest moves yet.”. New devices? Probably. New rate plans? Maybe. No one can say for sure, but after reports that T-Mobile will soon post their first subscriber gains since 2009, they're probably feeling pretty good right now. Let's just hope Carly will be in attendance and there's lots of leather.

iPhone 5 owners on a number of online forums are claiming that 14.2 carrier update for T-Mobile and AT&T iPhone 5 has been rolled out today.

Some T-Mobile users are also saying that 14.2 update is not option like 14.1 was, they claim that this update was automatically installed on their devices, they only came to know of it when they went in the About menu.

Sony Refunding PS3 Owners After Inflating Deadpool Price

Sony Refunding PS3 Owners After Inflating Deadpool Price

A video game featuring everyone's favorite completely psychotic comic book character, Deadpool, was announced last summer. One year later, the game was released this week for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, both in traditional retail boxes as well as digital downloads for $49.99. But an error on Sony's part accidentally listed the digital download version of the game for $59.99 on its PlayStation Network. As a result, Sony has said they will reimburse those PlayStation Network users who purchased Deadpool for the inflated price of $59.99 by giving them $10 in credit.

In case you haven't been keeping up with the CyanogenMod team (by following their blog or Google+ account), the team has released CyanogenMod 10.1.0 stable for a plethora of devices. Nearly all of the devices which got release candidates and milestone releases have gotten a stable version, so if your device fell under that category you'll want to check Get.CM for your download. Unfortunately, one big group of users is being left out of the fun. Specifically, those with phones based on Exynos 4 are being told that builds for that suite of devices will remain at nightly status indefinitely.

Stock Camera App Of Galaxy S4 And HTC One Google Edition Smartphones Leaked

Yesterday, we looked at the introduction of the HTC One Google Edition and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition, where both handsets would arrive unlocked, meaning you do not need to be tethered to a 2-year contract, while there is also the added benefit of the device running the stock Android operating system. Not only that, the camera app itself would have arrived with an updated interface, where it presents the shooting modes on a curved line whenever you decide to press and hold the screen, allowing one to gain quick access to HDR and exposure adjustments among others.

NuForce HP-800 headphone review

NuForce HP-800 headphone review

Can a headphone ever be too comfortable. Or too smooth sounding. These are unusual questions to consider when reviewing headphones, but that's how I felt listening to the NuForce HP-800. Maybe NuForce has achieved a near perfect balance between comfort, price, and sound. Or have they?

NuForce has created some unique products that fill specific niches. In many ways, they just “get it.” Take the HP-800 headphones as an example: They are extremely comfortable from the first time you put them on, and they adjust to the listener's head with no effort on his or her part.

Korean Movie Trailer Accused Of Being A Battlefield 3 Rip-off

Korean Movie Trailer Accused Of Being A Battlefield 3 Rip-off

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, although when it comes to intellectual property, flattery usually has a price attached to it. According to Korean website, ThisIsGame, the rest of an upcoming movie titled "The Terror Live" is said to share some similarities to Battlefield 3, with some even going as far as calling it a rip-off. We have not seen the movie for ourselves, so perhaps the trailer is the only portion which shares some similarities, but naturally some people aren't that pleased about it. According to the accusations, the music style and build up are said to be too similar to that of Battlefield 3.

HTC One is now available in 24-carat gold and platinum

When the HTC announced the One, many people were impressed by the craftsmanship that went into making the smartphone and its cool aluminum look. So imagine how much more impressive the phone would look like if it was literally covered in gold. That's exactly the thought that crossed the minds of the jewelry experts from Goldgenie, who have done a premium edition of the popular smartphone. The HTC One is now available with 24-carat gold plating, and, as expected, isn't what you'd call affordable. Not that the rest of the recent Goldgenie makeovers are.

The 24-carat gold edition of the 32GB HTC One costs £1895.

The Leef Bridge brings something new to the table where USB flash drives are concerned, where apart from having a full sized USB connector, it also has a microUSB connector that makes it a snap for you to hook up the Leef Bridge into a smartphone or tablet.

Cody Loveland's Corvette-powered NSX claimed by Pikes Peak

Let there be no doubt – racing automobiles can be very dangerous. This unfortunate fact of life has been proven once again today by Cody Loveland, owner of LoveFab, who crashed his Corvette-powered tube-frame Acura NSX on the second turn of the Pikes Peak hill climb course, apparently after a rear upper control arm failed. Cody hit a wall of boulders at high speed, after which the racecar caught fire. Cody was able to escape the blaze unhurt – minus some missing hair that was singed off in the fire – but the car appears to be a complete mess, as you can see from the image above.

At €729, Sony Xperia Z Ultra is bound to be the most expensive phablet on the market. Sony SmartWatch 2 priced at €199

Announced earlier today in Beijing, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra is certainly an interesting device. Sony calls it a smartphone – yet its massive 6.4 inch display makes it look almost like a tablet. So it's safer to include it in the increasingly popular “phablet” category. While the press release announcing it didn't contain pricing details, Sony France is saying that the Z Ultra has an estimated price of €729. Needless to say, that's very expensive. But I've been expecting a high price anyway.

"Goodbye Moto" - is Motorola's new identity with the Moto X being unveiled August 1st?


By now, I'm sure we all know the Moto X is real — Motorola itself admitted that much. The only problem is we still haven't gotten a look at the device or any confirmed information about what it will bring to the table. What we do know is that Motorola Mobility is looking to change its image up under the direction of parent company Google, and it will do that with the first device Motorola has made with the Mountain View company's influence. So when can we expect it? Well, new rumors are suggesting the previous “August” window was accurate.

YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home. Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory.
