This is of primary interest for Sprint and US Cellular since all Verizon 4G devices are inherently unlocked due to its agreement with the FCC over 700Mhz spectrum. AT&T has let you unlock 5 out of contract devices per year for a several years. T…

The apps themselves are relatively simple and do not cost much to develop. Decent requirements and some smart Ukrainians can create some whizzbang stuff for a few hundred thousand dollars. Where IBM will make billions is the implied and required dat…

Agreed with the first 2 posters. Vastly worse. Those deals are always/usually available and not even the best prices for those things. The app is terrible and far less efficient in managing large lists etc. Were you paid to write this?

Which Cape Cod BB is closed? Hyannis still seems to be open? Not sure there have been any others on the Cape in a long time.

Still not available for me either. Error. Try again later.

Not looking that good. Underpowered base model (like a MacBook Air but without the benefits of the SSD) plus more expensive mid and high-end models with dual core i5 vs. quad core i7 before. Iris graphics at the top end. All a bit meh. All in, I'm …

I got the base quad i7 2012 model, put in an SSD and 8GB and that thing rips. 8 threads, 1.25GB fusion drive for $850+tax. The SSD is the most amazing upgrade and homemade fusion drive is best of both worlds. Just salvaged a 2008 MacBook from sluggi…

I agree though you clearly aren't aware that since the 4S all the iphones have basically been the same. The carriers use different frequencies/bands but the phones are the same. A Verizon 5S would work on AT&T if they didn't specially lock it. V…

I assume the ETfs are all still in force but they can't just hold your device hostage as well. The contracts will all still work the same way. The situation was already much better than it has been but this will allow a lot of orphan devices to be …

C'mon, this whole article was design to allow the author to bring the words RIM and Jobs next to each other. See last paragraph... Lol. Back from the gutter, QNX may be cool but it is a small software company and offers no chance at supporting a…
