T-Mobile Ad Draws Flak Over Alleged False Claims

It seems that the folks over at T-Mobile seem to have run into a little bit of an issue here, as they have now caught the attention of folks over from the National Advertising Division.

The NAD (as they are known in short) are not too happy with a bunch of T-Mobile's claims concerning AT&T's network in its ads, where one of them claimed that T-Mobile's network delivers 50% additional bandwidth compared to AT&T.

Go back to the future with this retro TV

I'm on a mid-century modern furnishings kick right now.  We got new living room furniture this summer, and I went with reproductions of a design from the 1950s.  I'm trying to make the rest of the room fit in, and my giant HDTV looks really out of place in there now.  If only this TV from SEIKI was available in a 65″, it would fit perfectly in my new retro decor.  The SE22FR01 LED TV has a styling that reminds me a bit of those gorgeous old Predicta televisions.

Just last week, we spotted a device that we believed to be the often rumored Nexus 5. The image that was leaked seemed consistent with what we previously saw, and today we're seeing what appears to be a set of brand-new leaked photos and a video. The supposed Nexus 5 was caught in the wild as a Google employee happened to leave the device unsupervised at a bar. The device seems to fit with what we've seen in the past through the recent FCC filing as well as in Google's KitKat unveiling video.

As you can see from the image, the device has the horizontal Nexus branding located at its rear as well as its large camera that we've seen before.

Tokyoflash Kisai Maru Wooden Timepiece

Normally, when it comes to timepieces, most of us would eventually arrive at a point in our lives where we splurge a wee bit of dough that will certainly go some way in making ourselves look good in front of the mirror. In such cases, the watch would be made out of stainless steel and other precious metals, with those who have deeper pockets featuring precious gems embedded within to boot. Having said that, Tokyoflash has churned out weird looking timepieces in the past that does require a fair amount of brain power in deciphering the current time.

It is not known right now how many iPhone 5C pre-orders were made in the first day, Apple hasn't revealed any official numbers like it used to do in the past. Some analysts are of the view that the absence of official figures indicates weak demand, but such speculation must always be taken with a grain of salt. On September 13th Apple and its various partners started accepting pre-orders for iPhone 5C. Several models of the new “unapologetically plastic” iPhone have sold out at Apple, which has caused shipping times to slip.
