Previous version of Laptop Cop let you remotely delete (or retrieve) files from a stolen laptop, but the newest feature makes it genuinely worth paying for: Real-time geo-location using just Wi-Fi. It uses Skyhook, the same Wi-Fi location tech used by the iPhone to triangulate your position against Wi-Fi access points. Convenient, since we're not quite at the stage where laptops have built-in GPS for lojacking (though it's probably not too far off). Unfortunately, for ...

When the G1 launched, there was an uproar over T-Mobile's 1GB-a-month soft data cap that would slow your connection down to a 50kbps trickle, and they backpedaled. Guess what? The cap's coming back. The good: The new cap is 10GB, a fairly reasonably amount for mobile data (really, that's like over 300MB a day). After you hit 10GB, your connection will be throttled down to 50kbps, just like T-Mobile's original cap plan. The bad: It ...

In a conference call earlier today, Clearwire Corporation's CEO Benjamin Wolff spoke enthusiastically about the 'new' post-merger Clearwire and the company's ambitious plans to "reinvent wireless" by developing a nationwide mobile WiMAX network (the company will retain the Clearwire name, but its products will be referred to as Clear). Wolff didn't hide the fact that the Sprint-Clearwire deal had been left for dead on more than one occasion, acknowledging that today's announcement is the culmination ...

The Sprint/Clearwire joint WiMax venture announced back in July is a done deal, as is the $3.2 billion investmentfrom Intel, Google and others. The WiMax network will branded Clear, replacing the stupid Xohm moniker. Initially, the network will deliver an average of 2-4Mbps downstream, with the first devices outside of laptops and USB modems arriving in the middle of next year—stuff like mobile internet devices and MP3 players. Another interesting tidbit: Clearwire is building the ...

At its December meeting, the FCC is expected to push forward with another major spectrum auction, one that would require the winning bidder to use a portion of those airwaves to offer a free broadband service.

When it comes to mobile phones, China is perhaps best known for its copycat handsets. You know them – looking like the originals but offering fewer features and a built quality that makes them un-recommendable. However, QiGi i6, one of the latest smartphones to come from China, is nothing like that. It’s a quite nicely-designed device. Yet the handset is not interesting due to its look, but due to its ability to run either Windows ...
