Week.End @ Icrontic: Saturday/Sunday edition
The Windows 7 blog was recently updated with a look into how Windows users manage the visibility of their applications. For so transparent a task, this was actually a rather interesting read. The Nehalem-based Intel Core i7 and associated motherboards may already be for sale. Elaborate hoax, or big mistake? Google’s massive project to convert […] Add comment

AT&T not in a hurry for 4G
While Sprint is busy beavering away on their 4G XOHM service, AT&T is committed to further developing their 3G network. As AT&T currently deploys HSDPA to most US metropolitan areas, it makes sense to more than triple their per-user bandwidth by implementing HSPA+, a relatively minor infrastructure upgrade. Though AT&T, Verizon and other US carriers […] Add comment

iTunes closure brouhaha finished
The three-member Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) recently convened to discuss royalty rates for digital downloads in the music industry.

As Apple pays an estimated 70¢ on the dollar to […] Add comment
Clearwire pledges hands-off management of XOHM

Many have feared that Sprint’s heavy-handed management principles outlined in their EULA would stunt the future New Clearwire. Instead, Clearwire CEO Ben Wolff […] Add comment

[Worse than rumor] Microsoft extends XP downgrade life
The Register recently produced a poorly-sourced statement that the date Windows XP would no longer be available to OEMs has been pushed from January 2009 to July 2009. This may kinda, sorta, possibly, maybe mean that users can continue to stave off the inevitable for a nominal upgrade downgrade fee. Add comment
