Sprint hosted a “Take the Edge” off event in New York City the other day. There wasn’t too much mystery, especially when one got there and saw the Sharp logo all over the place. As predicted by almost every website, the new Sharp/Sprint device was a no-bezel device dubbed the Sharp Aquos Crystal. You might […]
Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla Motors, has taken a huge step by releasing all the patents behind the electric roadster. That means the tech that built one of the biggest tech shifts in car history is now open source. Anyone can build a car this way (having the skills to do that though is […]

It turns out that BlackBerry and T-Mobile’s little public spat back in February has had real repercussions for both parties. BlackBerry has announced that effective April 25, 2014 the Magenta Network will no longer have the right to sell BlackBerry devices.
