The Nexus One (a very creepy name I must say) has been leaked that under contract will be $180 through T-Mobile, and for an unlocked version will be a whopping $530. I’m not kidding.

First off, I am not a gamer. When I do play a game, I prefer classic arcade style games or turn based strategy games. That said, if the games you like to play are not hardware intensive then using a netbook as a gaming machine might be an option. By design, the netbook is lightweight and small (albeit not as small as a dedicated portable gaming machine) with a...

Thankfully we don’t have to deal with that anymore, right? Wrong. A...

Wireless carrier provider giant Verizon has announced that as of November 15, 2009, those who get a one or two-year service agreement and use an "advanced device" will be subject to a whopping $350 ETF (Early Termination Fee) if they cancel early. "Advanced Device" in plain English: Smartphone. If using a non-Smartphone, you don’t have...
