Verizon To Sell Subsidized 3G Netbooks

Cellphone operators around the globe have now been offering up WWAN-enabled netbooks for months now, and while AT&T has been doing so in the United States with HP’s 2133 Mini-Note, Verizon Wireless is hoping to grab some of that excitement here soon. Essentially, carriers are selling netbooks for even less than retail; the catch is that you have to agree to stick to that bundled 3G data plan for a full two years. In other words, the netbook ends up costing you far more in the long run, but you do get a cash

MySpace Meets Reality TV

Social networking site MySpace hopes to attract Internet users with a new reality TV-style show called Married on MySpace. The show will chronicle one couple’s journey to their wedding day. MySpace members will drive much of the decision-making in the planning event. The process begins with users voting on videos submitted by couples to determine who should be featured. After a couple has been chosen, MySpace users vote on other aspects of the special day, such as selecting what the couple will wear, the location

Jailbroken iPhone Used in Apple Patent App

You’ll remember that Apple has previously called jailbreaking iPhones illegal. Yet a recent patent application submitted by Apple uses images of a jailbroken iPhone to make their case. The attorneys at Kramer, Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, who submitted the application in Apple’s behalf are probably red-faced; I wonder if Steve Jobs has called them to the mat for this yet. You can see the image above has an icon for Installer.app, SMBPrefs and the iWood Realize theme, all stuff you need a jailbroken iPhone

Netflix Adds Facebook Connect, Personalization

It’s pretty amazing, really. While Blockbuster has withered as the world shifted from in-store DVD rentals to by-mail rentals and now to streaming rentals, Netflix has managed to keep itself relevant by staying one step ahead of the curve. Rather than pushing out its own proprietary “Netflix box,” it instead created software and an API that could bring Watch Instantly functionality to a whole slew of devices already in the home — pure brilliance, we say. The mega-successful rental company is making intelligent

Tesla Intros Gorgeous Model S Electric Car

It’s still far, far away from production (Q3 2011, best case scenario), but Tesla Motors is looking to turn the automotive industry on its side. Not that said industry isn’t already upside-down, but we digress. The company has just revealed its stylish 4 door sports sedan, the Model S. The vehicle is 100% electric and can purportedly travel up to 300 miles on a full charge. We’re told that it can be fully recharged in around four hours, but a 45 minute “quick charge” option should give you enough power to get

Disney Reportedly In Talks with Hulu

The Walt Disney Company is discussing a deal with Hulu in which Disney could take an equity stake in Hulu in exchange for providing the video portal with ABC programming, according to multiple sources speaking with paidContent. The media giant would provide at least ABC’s TV programming such as Lost and other popular shows. It’s possible the deal could also involve the Disney Channel, ESPN content, and other networks that aren’t heavily dependent on cable and satellite TV. At this point, it’s uncertain how close
