Ma.Ktober Fest

Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K) to uniwersum s-f stworzone przez japońskiego Kowa Yokoyamę w latach 80-tych. W naszym klockowym getcie zawsze znajdzie się paru miłośników wszystkiego, tak więc i Ma.K ma stoją grupę na Flickr. Ostatnio pojawiło się więcej modeli, w związku z akcją Ma.Ktober Fest. Warto przeglądnąć zdjęcia w fotostreamie grupy – pomimo wielu różnych autorów, wszystkie trzymają się tej dziwnej estetyki – brudnych kolorów i retro obłości. Wszystko to wygląda jak zapomniane wunderwaffe III Rzeszy. Poniżej kilka fotek na zachętę:

Wall Street Journal to offer free WiFi hotspots in NYC and San Francisco during September

Wall Street Journal to offer free WiFi hotspots in NYC and San Francisco during September

Oh New Yorkers and their marvelous, no-cost WiFi access points. Only a few days after Google Offers and Boingo happily announced they'd brought gratis wireless connectivity to additional underground locations within the city, The Wall Street Journal is now let it be known it too will be kind enough to gift the NYC crowd with some WiFi hotspots of its own. The nice gesture will bring around 1,300 network units to areas such as SoHo, Greenwich Village, Union Square, Chelsea and, naturally, the renowned Times Square during the month of September -- all in hopes of giving "people the opportunity to sample The Wall Street Journal." Meanwhile, folks in San Francisco can also grab the internet-friendly freebies in a couple of different places, including Nob Hill and Fisherman's Wharf. And don't worry, there won't be any donkeys involved here.

Sprint LTE makes early appearance in Bay Area

Sprint LTE makes early appearance in Bay Area

Sprint's LTE signal is well and truly out there, but it looks like roll-out is going smoother than the Now Network had predicted, appearing (though, not "officially launched") ahead of schedule in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tipsters have told Android Police that they've already managed to connect to the 4G network around both Palo Alto and Mountain View, reaching speeds of over 13MBps down and 8MBps up. Coverage doesn't yet extend across the whole of San Francisco, but bodes well for a swift roll-out -- and for Sprint fulfilling its promise of voice over LTE by the end of next year.
