LikeBelt concept encourages a very physical kind of Facebook liking (video)

Here are the latest reports on LikeBelt concept encourages a very physical kind of Facebook liking (video)
This is the LikeBelt: a concept device that inserts an NFC chip into a belt-buckle. Instead of tapping your mobile device on a “check-in” tag, you get the belt buckle close enough to do the same. There are only two downsides: how close you have to get and where most people’s belts are situated. Suffice to say, the Quagmire-style movements required to ensure a connection aren’t the sort of thing you’d do in front of your parents, priest or spouse. The creators provide instructions on how to build your own at the source link, but before you consider it, we insist you watch the video of it in action after the break. No, seriously.

Innergie Magic cables wed USB and 30-pin connections, let you break ‘em up on the fly

Here are the latest reports on Innergie Magic cables wed USB and 30-pin connections, let you break ‘em up on the fly
Apple’s 30-pin connection got you feeling down in a world filled with USB? Wish your iDevice cable worked with more of your gizmos? Fret not, as Innergie recently introduced its effort to solve this dilemma with its Magic Cables. The idea is simple, one end is fitted with a standard connector and the opposite side terminates into a mini-USB plug that can be fitted with different tips. Twenty bucks will snag you the Duo variant with a 30-pin adapter and for $5 more you can pick up the Trio if you also need a micro-USB tip. All told, we’re not sure that keeping track of minuscule adapters will prove much better than having a few cables, but if you’re ready to consolidate your cords it may be worth a short. Full press release just past the break.Innergie Magic cables wed USB and 30-pin connections, let you break ‘em up on the fly originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 08 Dec 2011 08:42:00 EDT.

Cisco, Telia to activate ‘world’s fastest internet connection’ at 120Gbps, sounds pretty Swede

Here are the latest reports on Cisco, Telia to activate ‘world’s fastest internet connection’ at 120Gbps, sounds pretty Swede
If the Swedes can dry a load of laundry on a 40Gbps internet connection, just imagine what they could do with 120Gbps. Melt polar caps? Solve the debt crisis? Dry three loads of laundry? The possibilities may be limitless, but we’ll all find out soon enough, because Cisco and Telia are aiming to break the 120Gbps barrier by the end of this weekend. It’s all part of this week’s DreamHack, a Swedish digital festival that the Guinness Book recognizes as the “world’s largest LAN party.” This year, the two companies will attempt to set up a 300 kilometer-long connection from Jönköping to Stockholm, serving an estimated 750,000 people at blazing speeds. The project has been in the works since last summer, with Telia constructing the fiber network, and Cisco handling hardware duties with a pair of power-packed CRS-3 routers. The companies say that the connection, if successful, would set a record for network “capacity utilization,” allowing all 750K users to stream music simultaneously and to download an entire movie in just .047 seconds. It’ll take us a lot longer to pick up our jaws from the ground.

Verizon to offer APIs to give your data rate an on-demand boost, for a price

Here are the latest reports on Verizon to offer APIs to give your data rate an on-demand boost, for a price
There’s a ton of data-dependent apps these days, and with services like iCloud and Spotify gaining steam, your precious bytes of data can get bogged down with all the additional traffic. Help is on the way for Verizon customers, however, as the company plans to release an API that will allow users to speed up their connection at will from within apps. This network optimization API will be joined by a microtransaction API (developed in conjunction with Vodafone) to make sure Big Red gets paid for every bit of bandwidth nitro you ask for. Work on the APIs is ongoing at VZW’s Innovation Center in San Francisco, but neither API will be ready for prime time until next year. That’s a long time to wait, but the idea of improving our data connection at the press of a button has us positively giddy. What about you?

Poll: What’s broken (or working) for you in iOS 5?
Oct 30th
Here are the latest reports on Poll: What’s broken (or working) for you in iOS 5?
If you haven’t updated to iOS 5 by now, let’s face it: you never will. It’s cool. We get it. Some of us are still using Netscape, too. For the rest of the iOS universe, though, iOS 5 has almost certainly been installed, and now that you’ve had a few weeks to tinker with it, we’re interested in seeing what quirks are being found. We’ve received a number of reports surrounding call connection issues (on both Verizon Wireless and AT&T), “invalid SIM” warnings, a bug that shows an inbox as being full (when it clearly isn’t) and iCloud refusing to load email altogether. Oh, and then there’s that pesky Siri pincode bypass — tsk, tsk! Toss your vote in below, and converse amongst yourselves in comments. Sharing is caring!
