iPhone 4 antennagate sufferers scoop tiny jackpot

If you bought an iPhone 4 and had trouble with reception, you are in the money. Just not very much money. As you may recall, the release of the device in 2010 was completely overshadowed by a significant problem with the handset’s design. An attempt to creatively use space by having the antenna wrapped around [...]

Wealthy smartphone users more likely to own an iPhone, study finds

Wealthy smartphone users are more likely to own an Apple iPhone and less likely to play games or post on Twitter than average users. According to research from The Luxury Institute, 62% of U.S. consumers earning at least $150,000 per year own a smartphone. 45% of people falling to that category own an iPhone, 35% use an Android-powered device and 25% have a BlackBerry. More than 80% of wealthy smartphone owners download mobile apps, with the most popular categories being weather (63%), news (51%), travel (42%), business/finance (39%) and sports (34%). Facebook, Angry Birds and Words With Friends are the most popular apps, however higher-income consumers use far less entertainment apps than the average smartphone user. “As you get older

MetroPCS Announces New Throttling-Free $70 LTE Plan

Add MetroPCS to the list of carriers throttling data speeds on their LTE plans. This morning, the company said subscribers to its $40/250 megabytes, $50/2.5 gigabytes and $60/5GB plans will find their speeds reduced once they exceed those data caps. For MetroPCS customers who find that idea unappealing, there is another option, though: A new $70-per-month unlimited LTE data plan, $10 more than the carrier previously charged for the same service.

Teacher?s aide fired for refusing to hand over Facebook password

A teacher?s aide at an elementary school was fired last year for refusing to give her Facebook login credentials to her supervisors, ZDNet reported on Sunday. In April 2011, Kimberly Hester signed on to Facebook while she was not at work and jokingly posted a picture of a co-worker?s pants around her ankles, with the caption “Thinking of you.” A parent and Facebook friend saw Hester’s photo and complained to the school. A few days later, the superintendent reportedly requested three times that she hand over her user name and password. Hester refused each time, and was put on paid administrative leave and eventually suspended as a result. She is now at the center of a legal battle with the

Bacteria is perfect for carrying nanotech inside our bodies

We’ve all heard talk of nanorobots and their future promise of “living” inside our bodies repairing damage or staving off infection as they go. But such machines bring with them a number of inherent problems. For example, how do you stop the body rejecting them as foreign objects? What is their power source and how [...]

Sprint won?t launch any new WiMAX devices, exec confirms

While speaking at the Competitive Carriers Global Expo, Sprint’s senior vice president of networks Bob Azzi said that while the company has experienced success with its WiMAX handsets, it will not launch any additional WiMAX devices. The announcement comes after Sprint previously confirmed that it would continue to offer 4G WiMAX devices through 2012 and support the service through 2015. Instead, the company plans to focus on its Network Vision project and upcoming 4G LTE netowrk, Fierce Wireless reported on Thursday. “We are wrapping up final field integration tests,” Azzi said. “The technology works and delivers more benefits than we expected.” The executive noted that the company’s Network Vision project will result in a 50% reduction in cost-per-gigabyte to deliver
