As we wrote previously, Microsoft over — and underpaid — a number of the 1,400 workers it recently laid-off. After a wave of criticism which occurred after Microsoft asked for the, ahem, overpayment back, Microsoft caved in. Microsoft human resources chief Lisa Brummel said the company had changed course. Twenty-five workers were overpaid and about twenty underpaid, Microsoft said. “I thought it didn’t make sense for us to continue on the path we were on. I have called now 22 out of the 25 impacted employees,

There are plenty of reasons to be an Xbox Live Gold member—you can game online, get demos early, etc. Now, Microsoft is now offering yet another incentive to attract new Xbox Live Gold-level members and to keep existing members: There will be weekly sales on content for Gold members.

Samsung just got done introducing four new point and shoot models last week, and now it’s already busy again announcing two more. Both new ones are 12 megapixel shooters that can easily slip into your pocket, and while the styling is classically Samsung, the features here are somewhat unique.The TL320 features a Schneider lens along with a 24mm ultra-wide angle focal length and a 5x optical zoom. Furthermore, it incorporates a three-inch, 460,000-dot HVGA AMOLED screen, which — according to Samsung — is the

As it stands right now, the GPS capabilities of the iPhone can only be used by active applications. This prohibits the iPhone from being used as a geotagging assistant or tracking device.
