Five years of fighting and a shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration have finally resulted in Congress passing a bill that could change the experience of flying commercial as we know it. The skies are going to get a lot more tech-y, to put it very simply. More »

Microsoft Patents GPS Feature That Steers You Away From Slums
By Phil Villarreal on January 9, 2012 9:15 AM
66 Comments
Anyone who lets their GPS do the thinking for them has ended up on some uncomfortable treks through frightening backstreets and rough areas that you'd rather avoid. Microsoft has patented a feature that will teach a GPS advice to help pedestrians stick to presumably safer streets, as well as "an open area subject to harsh temperatures." More »

We get a lot of customer service complaints about Best Buy. So much so, that when a piece of reader mail comes in commending them for doing something good, well, it's an event that needs to be remarked upon. That's where James comes in. More »

TomTom Sends Mangled Warranty Replacement, Plenty Of Excuses
By Laura Northrup on November 11, 2011 8:04 AM
31 Comments
After about six months of use and while it was still under warranty, the TomTom iPhone Car Kit Mark purchased failed. The onboard GPS booster and Bluetooth that are the entire point of the device stopped working. Some highlights of Mark's struggle with the company: TomTom initially wouldn't replace it, claiming that the warranty was void since they no longer make the product. Then they sent Mark what was clearly another customer's return—a scratched-up unit without power cords. They claimed that they couldn't send a power cord because Apple makes the cable. Because Apple manufactures black car-to-mini-USB cables. More »
I Want A Smartphone That Doesn't Sneak Off To Slorp Data In The Wee Hours
By Laura Northrup on November 3, 2011 9:30 AM
78 Comments
The point of having a smartphone that can use wi-fi networks is so the device uses less data, right? Especially at night, when you're at home snoozing, enveloped in the comforting waves of your home Internet connection. Yet Anthony's phone and his father's phone sneak off, accessing the mobile data network in the wee hours of the morning and pushing them over the limits of their T-Mobile data plan. They could just turn the phones off at night, but this is far from their only problem with these phones. Far. But T-Mobile won't let them have different, functional phones or cut them loose. More »
Psychic On Trial For Theft, Tax Evasion

There's no word about what Tarot cards, life lines or crystal balls have to say about a Colorado psychic on trial for theft and tax evasion, but common sense says things don't look good for the suspect. She's accused of telling clients that their money was evil and she needed to cleanse it before returning it to them. She didn't follow through with the promise to give it back and allegedly made off with $300,000. More »

With a high concentration of bicycles and larges crowds to hide in, campuses and universities have been a favorite target for bike thieves.

Security Vulnerability Exposes HTC Smartphone Users' Info
By Phil Villarreal on October 3, 2011 10:15 AM

HTC makes some powerful Android smartphones, but owners will have to replace their smug senses of superiority with worries about their personal data. A security vulnerability in recent updates to several HTC phones, including the Evo 3D and Thunderbolt, includes logging tools that potentially allow outsiders to get a hold of GPS, encoded text message data, email addresses and other info for those who use the phones.

BP Thinks People Should Go 90 MPH On Main Street?
By Ben Popken on September 2, 2011 10:00 AM
41 Comments
This is odd. Reader Kevin spotted a sign on top of a BP gas pump that has an image of a GPS device on it. In the GPS screen, it shows whoever is driving as going 90 MPH while going down "Main Street." An attempt to subliminally encourage people to use more gas, perhaps? More »
T-Mobile Keeps Replacing Defective Phone With More Defective Phones
By Laura Northrup on August 31, 2011 8:00 AM

Some months ago, Elliot upgraded the phone on his T-Mobile plan. He chose the Motorola Defy, which turned out to be a poor choice. At least, it was for Elliot, who enjoys having a phone that actually works. T-Mobile has cast him into smartphone replacement purgatory, where he will be stuck until he gives up and changes carriers, or his warranty expires and he pays for a new phone. More »

Dog Dies After Visit To Petco Groomer, Owner Wants Hair Dryer Cages Banned
By Laura Northrup on July 28, 2011 10:30 AM
89 Comments
Sadie, a beloved 6-year-old Lhasa Apso in good health, died in 2008 after a regular grooming session at a California Petco. She became ill while inside a cage dryer, a kennel with an air blower attached (sometimes heated, sometimes not) and was immediately taken for emergency medical care. The veterinarian treating her concluded that the dog died of "severe heatstroke." But was the heatstroke caused by the actions of Petco's employees, as her owner's lawsuit alleges? More »
