As evidenced by the photo above, the folks at TmoNewsand YouTuber BigRicksChannel have confirmed that the service provider is now selling iPhone 5-compatible Nano-SIMs. Of course, these'll work just fine with the Verizon-variant of the the 4-inch device, as it's technically unlocked out of the box.

Missing The Genius: Apple Pays Video Tribute To Steve Jobs!

Missing The Genius: Apple Pays Video Tribute To Steve Jobs!

Companies are looking for innovation, the kind of innovation that Steve Jobs would have wanted. There's a profound saying that Steve has made the world a better place - a fact that even Apple's biggest rivals would agree without hesitation. A year after his absence, the force that drives Apple has seemingly weakened. There's celebration about the newest iPhone, but there's no joy. There's excitement about Apple's events but the exhilaration that once prevailed during Steve's reign is no more.

Vic Gundotra post hints Snapseed for Android may be close, bring Google+ integration

When Google bought Nik Software, there was some worry that Snapseed would go the proverbial dodo's route and fade into obscurity as part of a larger Google app. We won't see that ignominious end anytime soon if Senior Engineering VP Vic Gundotra's photography is as valid a clue as it looks. On an evening flight to Baltimore, Gundotra posted a view of the setting sun to Google+ using Snapseed - a rather unique achievement given that the existing, iOS-only app doesn't know the social network exists.

Dubbed the "Detachable wireless listening device", it basically describe a pair of earphones that does not require wires and will pair with devices via Bluetooth.

Alongside its Super Hi-Vision TV demonstrations, Japan's national broadcaster had some 3D goggles also taking advantage of that 8K resolution. With 16 times the pixels of typical 1080p content, these prototype binoculars provide the same multiple of zoom from an 8K feed - that is 16x zoom without losing any of original data. We got to grips with a the master model here at CEATEC, and were able to pan up and down, as well as manipulate a lever to close in on views of both Mount Fuji and Tokyo's very recent Skytree tower.

Boston Dynamics' LS3 seems to be Star Wars inspired

Truth is stranger than fiction after all, and it seems that the latest iteration of Boston Dynamics' LS3 (Legged Squad Support System) has taken a page out of George Lucas' Star Wars book, where it definitely brings back memories of the AT-AT (All Terrain Armoured Transport) Walker that debuted in Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back, although there is a far closer resemblance to the AT-TE (All Terrain Tactical Enforcer) Walker that appeared in Episode 2: Attack of the Clones.
