Most of John Legere's time spent on stage dealt with T-Mobile's bid to play nice with businesses, but average consumers just got a few bones here, too. First up is Carrier Freedom, a new spin on the company's Contract Freedom initiative that'll see T...
It took less than four hours for jurors to agree that Ross Ulbricht was the man behind the persona of Silk Road kingpin Dread Pirate Roberts, responsible for running an infamous online drug empire. It takes Deep Web, a new documentary about the Silk Road trial, less than two hours to poke apart the narrative prosecutors used to put Ulbricht behind bars.
Despite denying it would ever do such a thing, Nintendo will start creating new games for mobile devices via a partnership with developer DeNA. The emphasis is on the word "new" -- you won't necessarily be getting Super Mario Bros. ports on your Andr...
It should come as no surprise to hear that Nintendo is working on a new console. Fresh hardware takes years to develop, so engineers are always working on future systems while the rest of us play on the current generation of consoles. What we didn't ...
For the past 30 years, if you wanted a masterclass in video-game level-and-objective design you needn't look any further than a Mario title from Nintendo. That didn't change any with 2013's stellar Super Mario 3D World or last year's spin-off Captain...
Seeding and star power is worthless. Has any "expert analyst" ever picked a perfect bracket? Has even the president ever picked a perfect bracket? No.
If you really want some edge to your office pool, take an unconventional approach. Luckily ESPNU has you covered. With Round One of March Madness nearing closer, the network invited three toddlers to give their expert advice on which team has the strongest chance at victory.
Situé en Ouzbekistan, voici une centrale de panneaux solaires gigantesque. Le miroir parabolique principal mesure 54 mètres et forme un diamètre de faisceau focalisé de 1,2 mètres pour créer des températures allant de 800 à 3000 °C. Pour l’anecdote, ce lieu est considéré comme confidentiel et les photos ci-dessous prises par Nikolay Rykov sont rares.
Super Mario Bros 3 quickly became a fan favorite when it came out in 1988 because of one main thing- the Tanooki Suit! The addition of a suit that allowed Mario to glide through the air and look like a cute raccoon at the same time made gamers grin with glee, and gave Mario a unique sense of style he never had before.
The Frog and Hammer suits are pretty cool too, but did you know Mario was originally going to have access to a Centaur suit?
Apparently the game designers felt Mario dressed up like a raccoon and a frog was all the horsing around gamers could handle! *kneeslapper*
Get in the mood for St. Patrick’s Day with this rich, chocolatey, moist, out-of-this-world chocolate guinness cake, adapted from Nigella Lawson by Simply Recipes contributor Garrett McCord. And for more ideas, see our St. Patrick’s Day recipes section. ~Elise
I’m not a big chocolate person. Nor am I a huge stout drinker. Yet, combine the two together in this cake and you’ll have my attention.
The two ingredients have a lot of dark, husky flavor notes in common and combined with a bit of flour, sugar, and sour cream they blend into a rich as old money dessert that’s perfect for any St. Patrick’s day party. A simple cream cheese frosting blends perfectly with the slightly bitter crumb and makes it all the better. This cake is best served with a pint of stout or porter beer, such as Guinness, so be sure to buy a six pack so you have enough to drink with your slice of cake.
I like food that's as close to being alive (or fresh, depending on your perspective) as possible. That's partly because it tastes better but also because it's tingly to see food move when you don't expect it too. This blooming chocolate dessert is a mover, all right. As you pour the cream onto the dish, the chocolate strip opens up like a flower.
The good news? The latest report by OpenSignal indicates that T-Mobile has the fastest performing LTE network in the United States. The bad news? That same full report (pdf) found that average LTE speeds in the United States dramatically lag behind LTE performance in other countries.
The full study tracked LTE performance in 29 different countries, and found that while the US ranks well in terms of the amount of time that customers are able to connect to LTE networks (read: reliable availability), the country is ranked 25 out of 29 when it comes to LTE speeds.
This same report last year found US LTE offered the second slowest average LTE speeds globally (behind the Philippines). So while the country has seen improvement, being ranked twenty sixth in average LTE speeds isn't exactly something to write home about, and the findings run contrary to the conventional wisdom that while US fixed-networks may be lagging, we're a clear wireless leader.
Back to a specific examination of US carrier performance, T-Mobile logged the fastest LTE network in the States with an average downstream speed of 9.98Mbps overall. That's compared to an average downstream speed of around 6.5 Mbps for AT&T and Verizon. A good portion of the poor US showing is courtesy of Sprint and Cricket, which offered average LTE speeds of 4 Mbps and 2.9 Mbps, respectively. read comment(s)
With Android, Google managed to build an open standard for mobile operating systems, daring anyone and everyone to build upon and adapt it. Now, with an ambitious project dubbed “Project Ara,” it hopes to do the same for mobile hardware. Specifically, Google wants to create the world’s first completely customizable smartphone. You’ll be able to choose what ‘modules’ are most important to you, and — if necessary — pop them out and replace them. If having a high-end smartphone camera is important to you, you’ll probably want to have a nice camera module. But let’s say you’re running low on battery...
The most expensive peanut butter in the world is sold by the U.S. government. The $761 jar of peanut butter, created to calibrate machines in food science labs, went viral last month. But "Standard Reference Material 2387," aka peanut butter, is only the tip of the iceberg of a strange and fascinating world.
