T-Mobile Adding Unlimited Data Plan Later This Year?

FILED IN gadgets 10 Comments

Thanks to Mr. Blurrycam himself we’ve just received the above image from a trusted ninja showing off what we believe is a hint toward revamped data plans later this year. While the wireless industry as of late has been leery of allowing unlimited data usage, T-Mobile will have to carefully evaluate data offerings as they prepare to launched devices capable of faster and faster speeds. Without a doubt there must be a balance between controlling speeds on the network so as to not impact the experience and yet, the needs of the users themselves must be considered as the companies provide enticements to use the faster speeds they will offer.

Our ninjas are also telling us to expect a total revamp of T-Mobile voice offerings sometime over the summer, possibly around June but as of yet we have no more information. As a quick reminder, T-Mobile is set to introduce a $79.99 unlimited offering for Even More customers on February 23rd. Stay tuned!

I’ll Take This Death Star Cookie Jar Over The Real Thing Any Day

FILED IN gadgets No Comments

By Andrew Liszewski

Sure, the real Death Star had planet-destroying lasers, tractor beams and an office with an awesome view of the galaxy for the Empire’s CEO, but you know what it wasn’t full of? Cookies. Now I’m not saying you could rule the galaxy with fear and oppression with nothing more than a ceramic sphere full of baked goods, but who would choose all that stress of having to deal with constant rebellions when you could simply sit back with a jar full of pecan sandies?

Not this guy. The only time I can see myself needing a laser capable of wiping out a planet is if I ever find the person responsible for the idea of putting raisins in a cookie. I’ve definitely got a score to settle there… Available exclusively from the StarWarsShop.com for $49.99.
