This is an Outrage!
– January 19, 2012Posted in: Current, Current Event, Press
So just after the largest internet protest in history, the US government gives us all the middle finger and takes down MegaUpload. This is what SOPA/PIPA will do. We MUST KILL BOTH BILLS NOW! Please read the following from Demand Progress. Also SPREAD THE WORD ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA SITES!
Yes, we know — another email. But this news is urgent UNBELIEVABLE:
One day after history’s largest online protest, the U.S. Government nonchalantly responds with the middle finger. The Wall Street Journal reports:
The FBI shut down Thursday one of the world’s most popular file-sharing websites, MegaUpload.com, and announced the arrest of four of the people behind it in a global crackdown against the suspected online pirates.
Please click here to tell your lawmakers to cut it out: No SOPA, no PIPA, no more website seizures.
Here — check it out: If SOPA and PIPA pass it’ll just broaden the government’s power to do things like this: MegaUpload.com. (And make it illegal for us to link to sites that are seized — like we just did in the last sentence.)
As MegaUpload’s website notes — er… noted:
The fact is that the vast majority of mega’s Internet traffic is legitimate, and we are here to stay. If the content industry would like to take advantage of our popularity, we are happy to enter into a dialogue.
Thanks,

Updated: Motorola XOOM WiFi Receiving OTA to ICS NOW!
Looks like our Managing Editor and Android Correspondent Nicolas Wiggins just was OTA’d ICS (Android 4.0.3) to his Motorola XOOM. I however have not been so lucky. Start hitting that “check for updates” button. We’ll be back with our first impressions soon.
NOTE: Nicolas is not a member of the Motorola Users Forum which leads us to believe the first wave of ICS is rolling out on a large scale.
All Images Credit To: Nicolas Wiggins.
Update: We decided to ask Motorola what the deal was. So far now official reply, but some of their fans are commenting in.
Update 2: My tablet finally was able to pull the ICS update about an hour ago. So far I’m love it, especially the option to force GPU acceleration, it just makes everything run very smooth. However I’ve noticed I chew through battery a lot quicker, this could be because of GPU acceleration, but I’ll have to do some test’s to be sure. Tell us, do you have the update? How’s it running for you?

[Updated]Gaming: Xbox Live Down?
– December 6, 2011Posted in: Current, Current Event, Gaming
Service Alert in Test Connection Page.
As many gamers know, today is the day that Microsoft rolls out the new Dashboard. Well, it’s causing a few problems. I went to sign into Xbox Live pre-update and got “unable to connect”, I went to “Test Connection” and was prompted to download the update. I was able to download and install the update, but am unable to sign in. More and more repports of this problem are coming in (as well as a rumor the the entire network is down, though that is only a rumor). We will keep you up to date with information as we get it. Follow @majornelson on Twitter and keep your eye’s on this status page to learn more.
Update: I personally have made it into XBOX Live. Just keep trying. As always, we will let you know more, as it becomes available.
Update 2: Everything should be fine now, let us know if you are still having problems.

Then new Motorola Lapdock 500 Pro.
– October 18, 2011Posted in: Android, Apple, Cellular Carriers, Current, Press, Smart Phones, Verizon
The Lapdock was something Motorola first showed off to us back when the Atrix was announced, it also launched with the Droid Bionic. It was not really a great device. Not Motorola has decided to try again, this time adding a 14 inch more MacBook Pro style Lapdock 500 Pro to the line. The 500 has a much larger track pad, what appears to be a bettery keyboard and of course a larger 14 inch screen. No word on pricing yet.

[QUICK HIT] Android 4- The XOOM Calls “Firsties!”
Remember earlier this year how the Motorola XOOM was the first device to run on Android 3.0 Honeycomb? Well, the XOOM will also be the first tablet to run Ice Cream Sandwich. Android 4, as it will be officially known as, will be showcased along side the Galaxy Nexus on Wednesday morning in Hong Kong (it will be 6pm Tuesday night here in Seattle), and the XOOM should be the first device to get it OTA within the next few weeks, but it isn’t clear whether it will have it before or after the Galaxy Nexus drops in early November on Verizon.
Stay tuned for more ICS info, tomorrow night on Google’s Android YouTube page they are expected to have a live stream of the event and you can expect us to do a live blog of it all.
