Could Metro PCS be getting acquired by T-Mobile, Sprint or DISH Network?

Reports of a sudden collection of meetings between Metro PCS and three companies have brought speculation of a possible acquisition or merger in the works. It is said that the regional carrier could be trying to settle a deal with T-Mobile, Sprint (which we have heard of before) or even DISH Network; but what would this mean for us? Is it even likely to happen? We have seen AT&T unsuccessfully trying to purchase T-Mobile, so how could a deal like this one ever go through? Well, there is a significant difference in any of these possible scenarios. These companies are not nearly as large as AT&T was (one of them is not even a phone carrier), and T-Mobile is significantly larger than Metro PCS. If T-Mobile or Sprint manage to snatch...

Mini Modded Nintendo 64

By Conner Flynn on Saturday 29th September 2012 9:06 am in DIY, Gaming The N64 is one of the most beloved Nintendo consoles ever, but like most consoles of the era, it was large. Too large for one determined modder. So he cut it down to size.He put the old N64 into a far more compact and slim case. This mini N64 is the work of a modder named Slipstream and he manages to get all of the design cues spot on. It looks like it was hit by a shrinking ray. It?s called the Nintendo 64 Mini, and is about the same size as the controller itself. Sadly it is not for sale at the moment. I would buy it in an instant. That is some great modding work my friend.

Antenna problems causing delay of Droid RAZR HD, RAZR MAXX HD?

There might be a hitch in Verizon?s plans to release the Motorola Droid RAZR HD and Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD. According to a rumor originating at�Howard Forums, antenna issues could have forced Moto and VZW to delay the handset. According to the report, the antenna design of the two devices puts it in contact with the edges of the phone?s casing, creating a situation not unlike that of the iPhone 4?s ?death grip.? Given that the problem pertains to actual hardware design, the fix likely isn?t as easy as a software patch, and thus could create a lengthy delay. Rumors have positioned the phones as launching towards the end of October, but if the antenna problems are real, it is more likely that we won?t see the new RAZRs until after...

Full Phrase Talking Translator

by Edwin - on September 27th, 2012 Don?t you think that language is a wonderful thing? I personally think so, and have a great admiration for people who seem to have the knack of picking up languages just like that, and they can rattle off fluently in a room full of different nationalities, speaking to them in their own heart language without nary a mistake. For lesser mortals like me, there is always an electronic device out there which could help me out in a potentially tight spot, especially when I am in an unfamiliar country or territory. Enter the $249.95 Full Phrase Talking Translator, where this model will translate and articulate full phrases and words typed on its keyboard instead of just concentrating on individual words.

American Greetings says hello to the Ultimate Mustache Party

by Edwin - on September 27th, 2012 Do you think that with the advent of the Internet, greeting cards have become obsolete? I know that the telegram has gone the way of the dodo in most, if not all countries as a mode of communication, and the snail mail (postal service) sector is not doing too hot either. This could be because of the speed and accuracy of emails, but when it comes to greeting cards, I am not quite sure whether the electronic revolution has seen electronic greeting cards make huge strides and inroads to render its paper-based predecessor obsolete. American Greetings has come up with a one-of-a-kind greeting card collection, and they will accompany that with a free app for big birthday smiles. Actually, one of the best things...

Iain Sinclair CardSharp 2 Credit Card Utility Knife Review

Whether you consider the CardSharp 2 Utility Knife from Iain Sinclair�a worthy pocket tool or just a novelty, you do have to admit that it?s one of the most unusual knife designs to come along in a very long time. Maybe the most unique ever. Let?s take a closer look. Note: Images can be clicked to view a larger size. The CardSharp has the same footprint as a typical plastic credit card. Make that 3 credit cards stacked on top of each other. The one piece�case / handle of the CardSharp�is made�of a light weight flexible polymer called Polypropylene and the knife blade is made�of surgical stainless steel. The design is pretty clever. The blade is protected�(as are your fingers) by the surrounding plastic case and the�bevel on the blade itself....
