| Five Ways That Mobile Apps Can Save Your Valentine’s Day Posted: 12 Feb 2012 02:39 PM PST Five Ways That Mobile Apps Can Save Your Valentine's Day  Five Ways That Mobile Apps Can Save Your Valentine's Day Editor's Note: This post is written by guest author Andreas Bernstrom, a former Goldman Sachs alum who has worked at TradeDoubler, was COO of Taptu, and in 2009 joined Rebtel as CEO. You can follow him on Twitter @AndreasCB here. It's that time of the year again and if you haven't started thinking about what to get that special someone in your life, better start thinking fast, or Cupid's arrow might just... |
| Force Flyer accelerometer-controlled RC helicopter, we go gloves-on Posted: 12 Feb 2012 02:38 PM PST Force Flyer accelerometer-controlled RC helicopter, we go gloves-on  Force Flyer accelerometer-controlled RC helicopter, we go gloves-on Being able to wave your hand through the air and control a physical object -- as if by magic -- is everyone's dream. And if you say it's not yours, then you sir or ma'am are a liar. That's why we had to stop at the Regal Elite booth on the floor at Toy Fair.... |
| Think may be bankrupt, but cars are still available Posted: 12 Feb 2012 01:57 PM PST Think may be bankrupt, but cars are still available  Think may be bankrupt, but cars are still available Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Th!nk (Think), USA, BYD If you were smitten by the little electric Think City and thought the company's recent bankruptcy put the kibosh on your chances of ever owning one of the plastic-paneled car, then *ahem, think again. It seems there are still some of the city runabouts to be had if you look in the right place. One such location is Green Wheels in Chicago, IL.... |
| LG Miracle appears in real life, we start to believe Posted: 12 Feb 2012 01:57 PM PST LG Miracle appears in real life, we start to believe  LG Miracle appears in real life, we start to believe LG's smartphone workshop is keeping itself busy. Alongside the manufacturer's attempt to out-Note Samsung, its latest Windows Phone has resurfaced. A kindly mole has offered some better focused (but unfortunately watermarked to heck) shots of LG's first Mango-laced Windows Phone. Skinnier that we expected, we can now make out a front-facing camera, paired up with a rear-facing five-megapixel primary shooter on the back.... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2012 12:33 PM PST zAPPed board games hands-on  zAPPed board games hands-on Alright, zAPPed is no GameChanger but, where Hasbro's line of iOS-integrated board games falls short in the pun department, it shines in cleverness. The Game of Life launched just a couple of days ago with a special edition designed to be used with an iPad app, while other classics Battleship and Monopoly are scheduled to follow later in the year.... |
| Microsoft Store hacked in India, passwords stored in plain text Posted: 12 Feb 2012 11:50 AM PST Microsoft Store hacked in India, passwords stored in plain text  Microsoft Store hacked in India, passwords stored in plain text Frequenters of India's online Microsoft Store were briefly greeted with the suspicious visage of a Guy Fawkes mask this morning, following a hack that compromised the site's user database. According to WPSauce, Microsoft Store India's landing page was briefly taken over by a hacker group called Evil Shadow Team, who, in addition to putting a new face on Windows products, revealed that user passwords were saved in plain text.... |

| Posted: 12 Feb 2012 11:07 AM PST NERF Lazer Tag hands-on  NERF Lazer Tag hands-on We just came from Hasbro's off-site Toy Fair show room and, needless to say, we made them take us straight to the NERF Lazer Tag installation. The guns are still clearly in the early prototype stages and hand made -- with plenty of hot glue and header pins serving as evidence.... |
| Nokia Public Transport for Symbian shows you the way, can't guarantee a seat Posted: 12 Feb 2012 09:42 AM PST Nokia Public Transport for Symbian shows you the way, can't guarantee a seat  Nokia Public Transport for Symbian shows you the way, can't guarantee a seat Nokia's free turn-by turn navigation is great when you're lost, but what if you need to negotiate an unfamiliar train or bus system? Perhaps Espoo's new Public Transport app with its journey planning information for nearly 80 cities and urban areas (including London, Helsinki, Austin and Toronto) will see you right.... |
| YC-Backed SendHub Lets Businesses Text Their Customers, And Teachers Text For Free Posted: 12 Feb 2012 08:17 AM PST YC-Backed SendHub Lets Businesses Text Their Customers, And Teachers Text For Free  YC-Backed SendHub Lets Businesses Text Their Customers, And Teachers Text For Free Y Combinator and Start Fund-backed startup SendHub, which offers a simple SMS solution for businesses, is killing it…and it never "officially" launched. Instead, the company soft-launched a couple of months ago with zero fanfare, and already has several hundred customers, 40% of which are active monthly users, sending some 30,000 SMS text messages per month. Although generating revenue through its premium services for businesses, SendHub is also making teachers' lives easier, by... |
| AT&T prepares internal systems for shared data, launch date still TBD Posted: 12 Feb 2012 07:34 AM PST AT&T prepares internal systems for shared data, launch date still TBD  AT&T prepares internal systems for shared data, launch date still TBD We've known AT&T's had shared data plans in the works for a healthy amount of time, as the GSM carrier let the cat out of the bag many seasons ago. And while Ralph de la Vega hasn't hid his company's aspirations from view, the network hasn't exactly been forthcoming about when the party is going to get started.... |
| Infiniti takes us behind the scenes in World's Fastest Hybrid vid Posted: 12 Feb 2012 05:26 AM PST Infiniti takes us behind the scenes in World's Fastest Hybrid vid  Infiniti takes us behind the scenes in World's Fastest Hybrid vid Filed under: Hybrid, Infiniti Nissan clearly wants to get as much mileage as it can out of the "duel" it staged between its Infiniti M Hybrid and the Porsche Panamera S Hybrid. You'll remember the spot, showing the M35h ripping through the quarter-mile in less than 14 seconds, ahead of the hybrid Porsche.... |
| Acer Aspire One D270 netbook up for pre-order Posted: 12 Feb 2012 04:44 AM PST Acer Aspire One D270 netbook up for pre-order  Acer Aspire One D270 netbook up for pre-order Still not convinced by the whole Ultrabook thing? Well neither's Acer it seems, as it refuses to pull the tubes from its netbook division. The latest such offering for your pre-order delight? The Aspire One D270. Sure, there's no HSPA+ like the recently revamped Aspire One 722 -- a fact reflected in the rather friendly $279 price tag -- but you do get 1.6GHz of Ivy Bridge, a 10.1 inch 1024... |
| Spark pre-orders delayed, but here's a video instead (video) Posted: 12 Feb 2012 01:57 AM PST Spark pre-orders delayed, but here's a video instead (video)  Spark pre-orders delayed, but here's a video instead (video) We had hoped that the Linux-based open-source Spark tablet would be up for pre-order already, but the logistics gods have decreed it not to be. Order registrations are now simply said to go online "ASAP". In the meantime, the developers hope to whet your appetite with this video of the 7-inch budget-slab in action.... |
| Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 leaked, says it'll arrive later this month Posted: 11 Feb 2012 11:12 PM PST Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 leaked, says it'll arrive later this month  Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 leaked, says it'll arrive later this month Whoa there, another phone leak? It could only be the run-up to Mobile World Congress. This time, it's Samsung that's let slip, and the not-particularly high-end Galaxy Mini 2. Mini in size, minor in specifications, it will purportedly arrive with a 3.3-inch display at 480 x 320 resolution, running Gingerbread on an 800MHz processor.... |

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, here's the outlet to do so.

| Provisioning for prepaid Google Wallet cards on hold while PIN-related security... Posted: 11 Feb 2012 05:00 PM PST Provisioning for prepaid Google Wallet cards on hold while PIN-related security hole gets fixed  Provisioning for prepaid Google Wallet cards on hold while PIN-related security hole gets fixed Remember that Google Wallet exploit from a few days ago? The one that would allow 'brute-force' PIN attacks, but only on rooted Android devices? Well, another PIN-related security hole was discovered soon after, putting even non-rooted Androids at risk. As Android Central points out, should your phone make its way into the wrong hands, your Google Wallet PIN number could be reassigned, allowing access to the prepaid account attached to the... |
| Agencies Show Their Age On Mobile Posted: 11 Feb 2012 03:36 PM PST Agencies Show Their Age On Mobile  Agencies Show Their Age On Mobile Editor's note: David Hewitt is VP, global mobile practice lead at digital agency SapientNitro. Mobile strategy is about more than just phones. Mobile platforms and engagement strategies in our digitally enabled world need to support all marketing initiatives, both offline and online, and be truly multi-channel. Mobile maturity is one area, however, where brands and agencies are playing catch-up with consumer demand. A siloed approach to mobile has been commonplace over the past... |
