- Nervous 24-year-old Steve Jobs prepares for first TV appearance (video)
The Steve Jobs we’ve come to know in recent years isn’t just a fan of the camera, he seems to excel in front of it. The tech world stops and listens when he appears, and his presence at Apple, and as the public face of Apple, can’t be overstated.
But when Jobs was just 24-years-old he […] - Verizon will begin pumping many of its voice calls through LTE soon
It won’t mean much to you right now, but future phones you buy on Verizon’s network will make calls over LTE, turning most of the actual telephone duties of your smartphone over to Verizon’s 4G data connection instead of its aging CDMA cellular network.
Called VoLTE, or Voice Over Long-Term Evolution, the new technology will dispatch […] - AT&T offers new plan for unlimited free calls to any cell phone in the country
Tomorrow is officially the day that the first iPhones will be sold by Verizon Wireless shops, and by most analyst estimates, it’s going to be a windfall weekend for the carrier, with some analysts suggesting Verizon could sell a million units in the first week alone.
Needless to say, though, other carriers are panicking. T-Mobile has […]

Firefox 4.0 Beta 11 Released
Last Updated on Wednesday, 9 February 2011 08:29 Written by Naota Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:32
Firefox has released Beta 11 of Firefox 4.0. Recently confirmed by Mozilla, there will be 12 Betas total. If you have not updated lately and are a Firefox 4 Beta User then I suggest you do. It usually takes a few days for all of Mozilla’s download mirrors to update, but you should be able to get it now.
You can download Firefox 4.0 Beta 11 here. If the download doesn’t load or redirects to a “Page Not Found”, go back and try again. There are literally a ton of different mirrors that the page will automatically try to pull from and not all of them are updated.
Despite Mozilla claiming that they will not “add” anything… they went ahead and did. In this new iteration you will find a “do not track” option. You can find this capability and enable it by going to the “Advanced” screen of Firefox’s Options.
As you know, this has been a very hot topic lately because advertisers and publishers are worried that they will receive less income as a result. This essentially stops ads from finding how what other sites and items you might have visited, prompting ads related to you.
Personally, as long as this is not enabled by default, people who would go out of their way to find this option are more than likely to have an ad blocker anyway.
What is new in Beta 11
- Support for the proposed Do Not Track (“DNT”) header
- Connection status messages are now shown in a small overlay
- WebGL has been re-enabled on Linux
- The default homepage design has been refreshed
- Firefox no longer switches into offline mode automatically

- T-Mobile giving away all handsets free this Friday and Saturday
T-Mobile seems to be freaking out about the imminent arrival of the Verizon iPhone: in order to prevent prospective customers from having their eye caught by Verizon’s multi-million dollar advertising campaigns and sexy new handset, the third-place wireless carrier is going to give their phones away for free this weekend.
Starting on Friday, T-Mobile will be […] - Majority of prostitutes favor Facebook over Craigslist, Blackberry over iPhone
Late last year, Craigslist bowed to public controversy and eliminated the erotic services of their website, which was a well-known place for prostitutes and escorts to advertise themselves online. Now that Craigslist is out of the prostitution game, what’s a poor working girl to do? Join Facebook, apparently.
