Remember those faster-than-light neutrinos? Great, now forget 'em -- Engadget - 0 views

Remember those faster-than-light neutrinos? Great, now forget 'em. "A week ago the world went wild over CERN's tentative claim that it could make neutrinos travel faster than light." Now however a team of scientists at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have come up with an explanation on why neutrinos are not faster than light. The GPS satellites used to measure the departure and arrival times of the racing neutrinos were themselves subject to Einsteinian effects, because they were in motion relative to the experiment. Thus if the error was recalculated the error would have been by 64 nanoseconds, the number neutrinos supposed to beat photons by.
Google Wallet Now Lets You SingleTap That App | TechCrunch - 0 views

Google Wallet now lets you SingleTap that app. So what is Google wallet? Google wallet is basically merging your phone and your wallet, or credit card to be exact together. with the addition of SingleTap, Google wallet is now allowing you to both pay and redeem coupons at a given retailer, without having to print out paper coupons. Instead, the phone 'remembers' the offers you have saved and redeems them automatically. Also included is the ability to have a prepaid credit card which lets you load virtual money to use, in case your credit card is not natively supported by Wallet. It sounds like Google is trying to make an Octopus Card 2.0 or perhaps merging, no assimilating it into it's application. Currently however, it is not worth getting in my opinion, as its only supported on a Nexus S 4G and credit cards are pretty fast already, so i think it is a bit over rated and hyped up.
Iris Is (Sort Of) Siri For Android | TechCrunch - 0 views

Voice control has been part of Android smartphone's since "the dawn of time," and then the superior Siri came along and the android voice control is becoming history. However, an industrious team of folks from Dexetra.com, led by Narayan Babu, built a Siri-alike in just 8 hours during a hackathon, namely Iris[Siri backwards]) Iral allows you to search various subjects ranging from conversations to art. "You can ask it "What is a fish?" and it will reply with a paragraph from Wikipedia focusing on our finned friends." Although initially created as a humorous idea, the application' worth was starting to show while they were designing it and the app itself will be available to the Android Market.

Ok, so the iPhone 4S looks pretty much the same as the iPhone 4. However that can change with the company ColorWare(you know it's american when colour is spelled color) and its ability to customize Apple products. Of course these fancy modifications do not come cheap. The price to modify a 16GB iPhone is at a price of $1500. However if you send your iPhone to ColorWare, the price is reduced to $250; which is still alot.
