In fact, according to numbers that Green Car Reports is reporting - and Ford is not denying - only 10 units have been sold since the car went on sale late last year: seven in December, three in January and none in February. Now, we knew that widespread sales were pushed back until... |
HBO in talks to relax iCloud ban on Universal, Fox movies for Apple TV Posted: 13 Mar 2012 02:58 PM PDT HBO in talks to relax iCloud ban on Universal, Fox movies for Apple TV ![]() HBO in talks to relax iCloud ban on Universal, Fox movies for Apple TV Remember when it was revealed that Fox and Universal's movie libraries wouldn't be able to stream via iCloud to your Apple TV? The reason was that both studios were locked into an exclusive window with HBO. Fortunately, the cable channel is already entering into negotiations with the studios to relax that rule for people who have already bought their movies -- having already done so for stablemate Warner Bros.... |

Anywhere. Any time. Those were the fighting words behind the BlackBerry Mini Keyboard promo shots we showed you a few days back. Now, backing up what we'd heard, RIM's officially (and very quietly) taken the wraps off its new PlayBook add-on, with a shipping date of March 23rd and a $120 price tag.... |

Don't bother looking at your calendar, we fact-checked it for you. It would make sense, then, that the seven-inch sequel to the Samsung Galaxy Tab, slated for a March UK release, should work its way through the proper FCC certifications before its inevitable launch. The docs don't say much about the GT-P3100's specs, aside from the fact that it sports AT&T 3G radios.... |

The lawsuit filed on Monday by Yahoo against Facebook over alleged infringements of certain "method" patents was a high profile step for Yahoo to take in the lead-up to Facebook's IPO. But although Facebook has seen patent suits against it double in the last year, don't necessarily take this as a sign that Yahoo will necessarily extend its fight to more jurisdictions, nor that social media will be come the next battleground,... |

For those unfamiliar, Onesheet is, as its name would suggest, a one-page dossier for bands. We originally referred to (and have continued referring to) Onesheet as the "About.me for bands/musicians," but that analogy is annoying in the way all tech media analogies are short-sighted — and also because it just doesn't really fit anymore. Case-in-point: Onesheet is... |

In the piece he talks about being thrilled and humbled by his recent Knighthood, the importance of his London upbringing and why Apple's competitors can't win. Pointing to a desire not to make "genuinely better" products, Cupertino's unnamed rivals instead are "interested in doing something different, or want to appear new," which he says... |

Intel: Optical Thunderbolt cables arriving this year Posted: 13 Mar 2012 12:41 PM PDT Intel: Optical Thunderbolt cables arriving this year ![]() Intel: Optical Thunderbolt cables arriving this year Intel's Dave Salvator has been talking about Thunderbolt's future, promising that optical versions of the high-speed interconnect will arrive this year. The copper version currently available is cheaper and can carry 10 watts of power, but it can only be run a maximum distance of six meters. While the fiber version loses the ability to power devices, it's reportedly far faster and capable of running to the "tens of meters." Dave... |

Sony's been bringing it lately, with a trifecta of monosyllabic Xperia goodness at CES and MWC. I personally believe that a key ingredient in the secret sauce may be Sony's ability to keep the new phones classy — the Xperia S, U, and P all got high marks from us in terms of build, feel in the hand, and overall aesthetic quality.... |

If you believe TAG Heuer's latest marketing hyperbole, that's set to change with its upcoming Racer smartphone. Just like its bespoke contemporaries, there's a flashy (and arguably gaudy) carbon fibre and titanium exterior, but underneath that veil is a "high speed" processor and the "latest... |

Fan as I am of Google Wallet (and all the Wawa coffee I bought with the included $10 prepaid card), I can't help but want something more immediate, something more widely-usable. The big sticking point that comes with the NFC-based payment systems that companies like Google and Visa love with is they require buy-in from the... |
