First we got word that RIM was no more, Verizon got dibs on the white Z10, and comes word that T-Mobile will also be carrying BB’s flagship device. There’s not much to report in terms of BB news itself, the general reaction to the [...]
Remember the landmark ruling in Apple’s favor following the big Apple v. Samsung patent lawsuit last summer? Well the TL;DR version could be summed up as follows: A jury found that Samsung “willfully” infringed upon some of Apple’s patents and awarded them $1.049 Billion.

Not sure how we missed this one, but if you’re 18 years of age or older and “have a deep sense of purpose,” you could be one of the first 8 humans to live on Mars. Nope, this isn’t a joke and though I don’t expect it to look anything like (the original) Total Recall; [...]
