• Apple’s iPhone 7 pre-order tantrum, John Legere is still annoying

  13-09-2016 18:07
  
  The iPhone 7 is so popular Apple doesn’t need to justify it to anyone anymore, apparently.
  Enough has been said about the fruity device-maker’s latest serving, both positive and negative, but now Apple has said it won’t be disclosing pre-order numbers, probably because they’re so earth-shatteringly record-breaking our feeble little human minds couldn’t possibly comprehend so many zeros.
  Apple told CNET “we are now at a point where we know before taking the fir

  Shot in the style of the most vacuous teen-targeted beauty product advert, Williams takes us on a journey through her pe

• Ericsson sets sights on skint subscribers

  13-09-2016 13:35
  
  With low-APRU, high population mobile markets like India going through massive disruption, Ericsson has launched a suite of innovations aimed improving developing world connectivity.
  For once this suite doesn’t have a collective name, perhaps because Ericsson seems to want to position this as more of an initiative than a product launch. There is lots of worthy talk about UN Sustainable Development Goals and bridging the digital divide, but at its core this announcement is about trying to l

• DT and Huawei smash 5G barrier with 1.2 Gbps LTE demo

  13-09-2016 13:21

• SpaceX explosion – if in doubt, blame aliens

  13-09-2016 12:13
  
  The spectacular explosion of SpaceX – the rocket carrying a Facebook Internet.org satellite – has yet to be explained, so we might as well blame it on aliens.
  You can’t beat a high-profile non-natural disaster to get the internet buzzing and the conspiracy theorists have left their padded cells en masse to dine-out on this one. While rocket science is difficult to the point of cliché, there’s no way anyone is going to be happy with ‘sh*t happens’ as an
