Verizon Mobile Hotspot on webOS devices now free, Pre Plus and Pixi Plus fall to $49.99 and $29.99

@iCello Ah, yes, but consider what day it is. You're right. It IS big news. I hope Sprint will follow suit, although that would put Aonic and myTether out of business.

@weedalin I've learned to deal with Verizon with a healthy dose of skepticism. I guess on this point I'm wrong. First time it's ever happened to me...

@jmikelittle My comment is now gone, so someone is mad.

@sawtx The app itself may be free, sure, but there is (possibly used to be) a monthly charge for using it.

Reggie courts core devs, questions motivation to Move

Bluetooth is going to motivate people to buy a PS3, huh? Certainly the Wii doesn't have a feature that is so advanced. How do you think the Wii talks to it's controllers? Farts and Fairy Dust?

NintendoWare Weekly: Mega Man 10, Fatal Fury Special

@Zertoss: MM2 was a joke, difficulty-wise. MM3 wasn't much harder, just longer. MM1 was quite tough. In my opinion, just about the hardest a game like that should get. There's still a dent in my parents' wall from the outlay of rage that the iceman stage caused.

Green Day: Rock Band won't be the only Rock Band in 2010

PSA: Scrub your gaming console's memory before selling

Jan 21st 2010 4:58PM (Joystiq)
I'd like to thank the gentleman that returned the used Wii that I purchased. He didn't erase the internal memory, and the girl at the checkout counter couldn't figure it out, either. Turns out the guy had bought $50+ of virtual console games (good ones). I politely erased his credit card info and account info from Wii Shop Channel, and am enjoying the fruits of his labor. So, thank you, kind sir!

Parrot AR.Drone hands-on: a quadricopter for the rest of us

Jan 7th 2010 2:05PM (Engadget)
@hajihill Read up on exactly what electronics were present in the lunar lander. Most graphing calculators have "more intelligence on board than a lunar lander". Now then, if you're including the intelligence of the pilots themselves in that arguement, then, yes, you are right. If you're talking about the power of the electronics on board, then you'd be very surprised at how underpowered the equipment they used was.

12 sexy Gnome themes for Ubuntu that are easy to install

Pretty! I still wish these artists would cater their backgrounds to us dual-screen-using folks. I run 2 20" monitors at 1680x1050. Nothing ever seems to fit quite right.

rTorrentWeb bolts a sexy(ish) web UI onto the popular Linux torrent client

Jan 6th 2010 10:48AM (Download Squad)
There's not much documentation on their site at all. This could be great, in the future, but has a LONG way to go. Even after you get this installed, I don't see any options to configure the nitty-gritty of rTorrent, so, if you want to enable some of rTorrent's more advanced features, bust out your text-editor, cause you've got a few config files to edit.

My personal preference on Linux is Vuze (Azureus). Yeah, I know, "big, bloated, slow, Java", but, I've got the extra CPU cycles to spare, and it's got all the features I need, there are several very powerful plugins for RSS feeds (which I use heavily), and it gets updated quite a bit.
