Whenever the rumor mill gets to chatting about the iPhone heading to another carrier beyond AT&T, it’s almost always focused around Verizon. On the off chance it’s about someone else, it’s generally Sprint. Oddly, the one most oft forgotten is the one that, from a technical standpoint, would be the easiest transition: T-Mobile.

This cool video was released almost two years ago, and I think that it still looks good. Actually, it looks pretty awesome! It features a bunch of guys having a lightsaber duel. This lightsaber duel was made by Brian Curtin , Mat Powell, and Matt Hall. It’s good enough to make your forget the two pudgy dudes in it

In response to this morning’s post about self-captioning POV ping pong paddles , a helpful commenter pointed me at this “action POV” gimmick from Flickr user zeni666 . There’s not much detail, other than that it involves an Arduino and 7 white LEDs.

Microsoft guru extraordinaire Mary Jo Foley has retweeted a company employee boasting of a commitment to hand out Windows Phone 7 devices to each and every one of Redmond’s 90,000-plus employees around the world. That’s certainly one way to spread the word — and realistically, the cost to Microsoft is a drop in the bucket if they can really take advantage of the word-of-mouth advertising effect here.

The iPhone sure knows how to stay in the news – an unnamed source at T-Mobile says that it’s 80 percent likely that the iPhone will show up on T-Mobile’s network this Fall . Previously, it was said that once the Apple-AT&T exclusivity contract ended (which has been rumored to end this year), Apple would take the iPhone on the road to Verizon . However, since Verizon uses CDMA chip-based handsets , and both T-Mobile and Apple use GSM, it seems that T-Mobile would be a better fit. Besides, Verizon is doing just fine on its own with all those popular Android smartphones ! Does this mean that if Apple leaves AT&T the iPhone would then be exclusive to T-Mobile? Find out when you read more.

More than meets the eye? Well, kinda. Standing forty feet tall and weighing six tons, this facsimile of  Optimus Prime as seen in Michael Bay’s recent live-action movies has been built in Beijing ’s Green Dream Park, just outside of the “Bird’s Nest” stadium used in the 2008 Olympics (the stadium can be seen in the picture above, in the haze behind the robot)

Chatter on the forums suggests that the latest update hitting the DROID X has not fixed the WiFi connectivity problem many users were reporting. Affected DROID X owners report that their handsets have difficulty connecting to a WiFi router and poor network performance once a connection has been established. Several users report that changing the encryption from AES to TKIP has alleviated the problem, while others note that changing your router to 802.11g instead of 802.11n has decreased the number of network disconnects. Anyone with a DROID X currently experiencing this problem?

This morning, Facebook officially made it to 500 million active users.

MAKE subscriber Todd writes in to share his Multifunctional DIY welding cart , made from a cheapo utility cart and a bunch of scrap material. It is designed to be used for MIG and oxygen-acetylene welding, as well as for plasma cutting. I converted a Harbor Freight utility cart into a multifunctional welding cart. The conversions to the cart make it easier to move about in tight places yet strong enough to support 100lbs of brick and a plate steel top

Oh, we know all about doin’ time. We watched both Oz and The Wire in their entirety, and have seen Let’s Go To Prison , like, eight times. For instance, we know that you only do two days in the joint: the day you go in, and the day you go out. And we know that tattoo guns are readily available (if you have access to an old walkman or Playstation ).We also know that cellphones are contraband, and rightfully so: you wouldn’t want an inmate ordering a hit on someone, or running their record label from in “the stir.” That’s why we stand with the CTIA in support of S.1749, or The Cell Phone Contraband Act of 2010. Approved in April by the Senate, and passed by the house yesterday, this amendment to title 18 of the United States Code prohibits “possession or use of cellphones and similar wireless devices by Federal prisoners.” And once it’s signed into law by the President, we’re sure that the no-goodniks will stop sneaking handsets in and we can forget all that silly talk of prison cellphone jamming once and for all

Qualcomm has come forward and announced their very own third quarter fiscal results, which ended June 27th. While the numbers may not be as staggering as Apple’s results, it’s still enough to show that Qualcomm is still a presence in every market they make a claim for fame, and they’re not going anywhere any time soon. Just try to ignore all those “down from” lines past the break

The Art Of The Brick is an art exhibit by Nathan Sawaya, but it’s not your typical sculpting, painting and pottery type of show, instead Sawaya has made all of his creations using only Lego. From a monopoly board to a man who’s spilling his guts, quite literally, the exhibit offers some of the coolest Lego creations I’ve seen in a while. Click on the Lego creations below to see full sized images of each piece: If you happen to be in or near Peoria, IL you can find the exhibit at the Lakeview Museum.

This is a surveillance video that was just released from a Swedish bank robbery that went down back in September. The robbers landed a helicopter on the roof, broke into the Louvre-ass looking ceiling , and proceeded to escape with over $5 million (US) in Swedish Fish kronar. Krona krona bills ya’ll. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on whether or not you view these guys as brilliant schemers or common criminals, 10 of them got caught and are going on trial next month. But now that the trial is about to begin, they’ve released the above footage of the crime itself.

Have you ever purchased some clothing online? Have you ever purchased clothing online that you had never tried on before? If so, or if not, then you probably know that it can be a bit tricky, considering you don’t get to see how it looks on you, or if it will even fit in general. So, what should you do

I am embarrassingly tardy with this review, but the reasoning is actually good news and worth mentioning. I had been playing mTanks on my iPod Touch but then the kids got out of school, we went on vacation, and I got busy getting my iPod Touch set up for my wife to use to read ebooks on vacation. Long story short, I forgot about the game completely. Before I finish the story, let’s see what this mTanks is all about: The Hype: 4 days ago NASA’s Spirit rover discovered a growing army of tanks beneath the surface of Mars.

It seems that the Droid X isn’t exempt from its own version of Antennagate , only this time it’s with the handset’s screen. Some new Droid X users are experiencing problems with the phone’s large 4.3-inch display – reports of banding (white and black strips running vertically down the display) and wild flickering are the two main issues. Although this problem seems to be contained to a small number of users, Motorola and Verizon are quick to squash any potential PR nightmares and have already issued a statement and fix

At present, Verizon only offers prepaid mobile broadband in buckets ranging from 100MB up to 1GB at prices from $15 to $50. Problem is, 1GB goes by in about two seconds if you’re YouTubin’ your way through a layover in Atlanta, enjoying a little too much Hulu and Pandora, or torrenting a few ISOs (perfectly legal ones, of course) — so to that end, we’re hearing that a 5GB option will be launching on August 23 for a breathtaking $80. Presumably, it’d be good for 30 days from the date of purchase the same as the current 1GB plan, though we don’t know that from the information we have.
