A lot of people got double-screwed when there were all those 360s failing. Not only did your damn console die, but if you had downloaded content like XBLA games, chances are it wouldn’t be on your new console when you got that. Until now, recourse has been difficult, but the license transfer tool lets you […]


A lot of people got double-screwed when there were all those 360s failing. Not only did your damn console die, but if you had downloaded content like XBLA games, chances are it wouldn’t be on your new console when you got that. Until now, recourse has been difficult, but the license transfer tool lets you consolidate any licenses you had on your last four systems that died. However, I recommend reading the FAQ, otherwise you might miss stuff like this:

How often can I use the tool?
The tool can only be used once each twelve months.

Why can I use the tool only once per twelve months?
The tool is intended to grant consumers to consolidate their licenses they purchased on multiple consoles to a primary console. It isn’t intended to continually move content between multiple consoles.

Right. Because everybody likes artificial limitations on content they’ve paid for.

Google headquarters has installed some super-sexy Japanese Toto toilets that feature front and rear cleansing along with a dryer and some sort of insane energy saver timer that ensure you don’t sit there washing yourself all day. SFist has some creepy pictures of the whole set-up. The real question: is there an API?

We know that T-Mobile has signed on to pick up the MOTOROKR E8, and last we’d heard it might be dropping some time between… oh, now and August. MobileBurn is now reporting that the music-friendly candybar is slated for announcement tomorrow, though it’s not clear whether it’d be available immediately or they’re just planning on getting customers hot and bothered for a release down the road. The lack of 3G still isn’t much of an issue on T-Mobile’s network, and we were pretty impressed with the device in our hands-on testing, so this’ll be a solid addition. It’s entirely possible (and far too common) for devices like this to get delayed clear into irrelevance, so let’s hope this particular rumor holds up.

MetroPCS Communications Inc, a Dallas-based wireless carrier, is allowing customers to bring phones from other carriers to its network.

MetroPCS Communications Inc, a Dallas-based wireless carrier, is allowing customers to bring phones from other carriers to its network. Supposedly this is one of the largest carriers to do such a thing. Analysts state that this will be the trend as the US wireless market starts to open up.

That stated, if you think you can activate an iPhone on MetroPCS Network, it’s not going to happen. They use CDMA, so only phones from Sprint, Verizon, and Alltel Corp will work.

A pre-release version of iTunes 7.7 includes this little gem: Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later.

A pre-release version of iTunes 7.7 includes this tiny gem:

Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home — a free download from the App Store.

The real question, however, is whether this will work with Apple TV. Desktop iTunes might be a “nice-to-have” but an Apple TV remote would be astonishing.

As anyone with an iPhone and some unshielded speakers is likely well aware, the two don’t exactly get along all that well together when they’re in close proximity, with the fight for your desk’s air space often resulting in an annoying buzzing sound. Now, one enterprising individual has thankfully come up with a solution in the form of the iPhone anti-interference shield, which consists of nothing more than a carefully cut Red Bull can and some always-handy double stick tape. The shield’s creator does warn that there could possibly be some hindrance to your reception, however, although that apparently hasn’t been noticeable so far. Of course, then shield would no doubt be just as effective with another 2G GSM phone, and you can probably find a suitable alternative for the Red Bull can if its not to your taste either.

The fact that the iPhone doesn’t securely erase user data when you select “Erase All Content and Settings” has prompted a lot of hand-wringing (and given rise to a lot of complicated manual workarounds) as people get ready to flip their old phones and upgrade to the iPhone 3G, but it looks like there’s a simpler solution coming: AppleInsider says the iPhone 2.0 software now securely erases user data. The process is apparently similar to Leopard’s Secure Erase Trash feature, and it’ll unlink data and overwrite it with random bits, making your personal info impossible to recover. Of course, that’ll take some extra time — you’re looking at an extra hour of progress bars in your life. That’s not so bad — and if it keeps anyone from checking out our super-embarrassing 80s pop playlists, we’re all for it.

[Thanks, Mark]

Oh, those naughty bloggers. How hardworking PR people must hate the rumors incessantly bubbling up based on each offhand remark or misspoken word. In this case the buzz has been around the much-anticipated Blackberry Bold being delayed until August, though if you ask them, August was the target all along. RIM PR guy Erik van Drunen says:

We didn’t say anything about ‘July’ or ‘August.’ It will become available in August. So we’re still on track for [availability] this summer,

Well, there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth.
