Filed under: MetaIf you've been wondering what former editor-in-chief (but current editor-at-large) Ryan Block has been up to since he left the site, wonder no more! He and Engadget founder Peter Rojas have just soft-launched their latest foray into the world of gadgets, fittingly (and simply) named... gdgt. Right now they're just getting off the ground, but they've got a new podcast up, and we expect some great content to follow. It should be noted ...

USA Today’s Ed Baig: Apple acknowledged Tuesday that a software update for the iPhone partly fixes the connection snags that have caused a global firestorm for the new iPhone 3G. Though mum on details, Apple spokeswoman Jennifer Bowcock said on Tuesday, “The software update improves communication with 3G networks.” ★

I've noticed my iPhone is working a lot better since doing the update. I've even turned 3G back on a lot more than previously. More testing ahead.

Brandon LeBlanc said:
The iPhone 2.0.2 has not fixed the 3G connectivity for me one bit. I still get better 3G connectivity in the same exact spots on my Windows Mobile phone.

That's bullshit. I've seen no improvement.

My 3G connectivity seems to be working considerably better as well after the 2.0.2 update and using the built in "long format" to whipe out the phone.

Filed under: Cellphones, Wearables There's certainly no shortage of folks working to incorporate solar cells into clothing and accessories, but a team of researchers from Iowa State University now look to have devised a way to make the wearable technology slightly more discreet, with them using digital textile printing to print fabric that matches the pattern of the solar cells. The solar cells themselves are then attached using a "liquid stitch" method, although that apparently ...

Last year, Bill Janeway really got my attention (pdf) when he noted that "over time, Wall Street 'firms began to trade against their clients for their own account, such that now, the direct investment activities of a firm like Goldman Sachs dwarf their activities on behalf of outside customers.'" As I wrote in my blog post at the time, Trading for Their Own Account, "I thought, whither Google, Yahoo! and Amazon?" At the time, I ...

When this trend spreads (and I say "when", not "if"), this will be a tax on the utility of the web that must be counterbalanced by the utility of the intervening pages. If they are really good, with lots of useful, curated data that you wouldn't easily find elsewhere, this may be an acceptable tax. In fact, they may even be beneficial, and a real way to increase the value of the site to its readers. If they are purely designed to capture additional clicks, they will be a degradation of the web's fundamental currency, much like the black hat search engine pages that construct link farms out of search engine results.-- interessabte Beobachtung

It starts out with a low-tech screwdriver hack and moves onto the electrical disembowelment of the steering column you've seen in ...

Blockbuster is a fine company with a perfectly sound business model. Problem is, the whole brick-and-mortar thing smells a little 20th centuryish. While Netflix has cornered the mail DVD business, Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes is baffled by his competitor's success. "I've been frankly confused by this fascination that everybody has with Netflix," Keyes told Rafat Ali, in an interview with PaidContent.org. It doesn't seem particularly confusing to us.
