The Cradlepoint Personal Hotspot 300 is a fully featured WiFi router that uses your mobile phone’s data connection as its […]
This is news- (and drool-) worthy. Intel just announced the first 10 Gigabit server adapter that will work over copper cables. They’re teaming up with Dell to have these adapters offered in PowerEdge servers. These 10GBe adapters will work over Cat 6 & 6a cable.

It took a while, but now DSL is starting to compete with cable modem service on speed, as Qwest announces that they’ll be offering 12 and 20 Mbps DSL service in 23 markets. When you call up, just ask for Qwest Titanium, or Qwest Quantum, as the services will be dubbed.

This turns the traditional long-distance market on its head. I still remember paying over $1/minute for long-distance calls (made in the same […]
Remember back to late Dec 07 when we announced the launch of text-to-web service, kwiry, which gives you a great way to add items (kwirys) to your Remember or To Do lists.
Well, kwiry is currently running a promotion at least until Jun 28, 2008 where you stand a chance of winning one of your […]
In the ‘really?’ department, the University of Chicago’s Law School has decided to block Internet access in classrooms, in what appears to be the first such school-mandated restriction.

The ink had barely dried on the agreement to buy Skype before analysts were criticizing eBay’s $3.1 billion decision. Yes, that’s ‘billion’ with a ‘B’. Now, it looks like eBay is pondering selling it off.
