HTC Touch Pro now available for purchase online, as promised
Filed under: Cellphones
We heard last week when Sprint launched the HTC Touch Pro at "select national retailers" that the device would be available online on November 2nd. Well, it's November 2nd, and they've kept their promise. The base retail price of the QWERTY smartphone is $579.99, but an "instant savings" of $180 combined with a $100 mail-in-rebate brings the price down to palatable $299.99 (with a 2-year agreement, needless to say). Of course, if you're really starved for human contact, you could always head over to

BlackBerry Storm 9530 user manual leaked, totally not boring
Filed under: Cellphones
Can't get enough info on the BlackBerry Storm? No detail too granular? Well, then you'll surely be interested in the fact that the user manual has appeared -- and from the looks of it, it's a serious page-turner. It's not quite as long as War & Peace, clocking in at 249 pages, but just as action-packed, so cozying up with it might fill the void until the actual device appears.BlackBerry Storm 9530 user manual leaked, totally not boring original

Circuit City to shutter 155 stores, locations to go public tomorrow
Filed under: Misc. GadgetsAccording to a slew of tips we've received, Circuit City will be closing down 155 of its retail locations, possibly even before Black Friday. Right now details are sketchy, but it seems that the company's traditional "holiday kickoff" meeting was actually a "holiday layoff" discussion instead. Apparently, a full list of store locations getting the axe will be revealed. In the words of a current employee:"I'm an employee @ Circuit City and today there was a mandatory store meeting for the holiday season and to welcome all the seasonal employees. There was also some tension as rumors were rampant the days before that we were all going to find out we were out of a job today. Luckily, but still somehow unfortunately, I'm still an employee of Circuit City. The

Filed under: Home Entertainment, Media PCs
Mac owners who have been waiting for Netflix to open up the 'Watch Instantly' option just got a little something to light up their day -- the service is now available to the public; or at least members of the public who opt in via a web form. It's all based on Microsoft's Silverlight, so you'll need to download and install the plugin for your web browser, but please mind the six device limit if you've got a

Prototype artificial heart unveiled, expected to cost $192k
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
From from being the first artificial heart we've seen, the latest iteration unveiled by a team of French scientists is easily the most sophisticated. Built from technology used in satellites and airplanes, the prototype heart is said to "beat almost exactly like the real thing using electronic sensors to regulate heart rate and blood flow." Reportedly, the device boasts "the same tiny sensors that measure air pressure and altitude in an airplane or satellite," enabling it to theoretically react in an instant if the patient suddenly needs more or less blood. Thus far, th

Anti-Diskriminierungskampagne im Get-a-Mac-Stil
Parallel zum Präsidentschaftswahlkampf läuft im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien derzeit eine weitere politische Debatte, die die Lager spaltet. "Proposition 8" will die gleichgeschlechtliche Ehe verbieten und ruft damit Aktivisten auf den Plan, die dies mit gezielten Kampagnen verhindern wollen. Selbst Apple mischte sich bereits mit einer Stellungnahme ein und genehmigte nun auch eine TV- und Kino-Werbung die sich kreativ und überzeugend an die "Get a Mac"-Spots anlehnen.

Neuer Chef bei Microsofts Mac Business Unit
Etwas holprige MS Office-Versionen, der Internet Explorer oder MSN für den Mac - für diese Software gibt es bei Microsoft eine eigene Abteilung, die nun einen neuen Chef bekommt. Nachdem der bisherige Rädelsführer Craig Eisler in die Redmonder Entertainment & Devices Abteilung wechselte, ist es nun Eric Wilfred, der in der Entwicklungsabteilung etwas zu sagen hat. Ob sich die für den Macintosh entwickelte MS-Software damit verbessern wird, lässt sich jedoch nicht sagen.

As part of the mentioned $800 million expenditure cut planned for 2009, 3,000 (more) of Moto's employees will be looking for work elsewhere. According

Western Digital quietly intros WD TV HD Media Player
Filed under: Home Entertainment
Well, what do we have here? With no fanfare whatsoever, Western Digital has apparently strayed from its platter-based roots and delved into the wide, murky world of HD media streaming. The WD TV HD Media Player purports to "turn your USB drive into an HD media player, allowing you to watch your favorite HD movies on your TV." For those still befuddled, look at it like this: it enables you to plug in your USB key or USB hard drive and play back multimedia clips up to 1080p on your HDTV via the HDMI / composite outputs.
