In true lottery fashion, we used HIGH-END DIGITAL means to choose our winner (no we seriously printed out all of the pages with the names of our contestants, cut them up and did the random drawing for the headphones out of a Taylormade Golf “Driver Love” Tour Hat!
[in no way, shape or form did Taylormade Golf have anything to do with this contest. It was just the hat that I was wearing today]

If you aren’t a developer and won’t be able to pick up a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha for yourself, you can still check out this unboxing video from forums member SCrid2000. Registered developers who attended BlackBerry 10 Jam were able to pick up their devices early this morning so they can start porting their apps to BlackBerry 10. Keep in mind that this is not the final BlackBerry hardware or software – it’s just a prototype device for developers to use to ensure their apps work on BlackBerry 10 devices.

No More Mr. Nice Girl

The tech world is buzzing about Carly Foulkes aka the T-Mobile girl… Now she didn’t release a sex tape. She hasn’t been found toting guns around NY. She simply got a make over. To showcase that they’re still a cutting-edge mobile provider, T-Mobile gave Carly her wardrobe change along with the new tag line: “No More Mr. Nice Girl.”
Still haven’t seen it?
Below you can check out the commercial.
<----THAT WAS THEN...

This is Now

Check out the new T-Mobile Commercial of Carly… I’m sure dudes were drooling on Tuesday when this ad debuted.

Toshiba Announces All-In-One Computer w/ Intel Ivy Bridge

To Bite or Note to Bite?

– Via Engadget –
Toshiba was fairly late to the all-in-one party, only releasing its first US model last year. Less than twelve months later, though, the outfit’s already revamping its design: the company just announced the LX815 and LX835, which will replace its current 21.5- and 23-inch offerings. Both models sport 1080p TN displays, and sport an overhauled chassis with matte surfaces and recessed ports. Spec-wise, expect “third-generation” Intel Core processors (read: Ivy Bridge), up to 3TB in HDD storage, a max of 16GB of RAM, dual USB 3.0 ports (plus four 2.0 sockets) and HDMI-in. At the high end, you’ll also be able to scoop one up with a capacitive touchscreen. Look for these starting sometime in Q3 at which point the 21-incher will go for $600 while the 23-inch model will command northward of $880.

(news) Best Buy CEO Steps Down

Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn Departs

– Via Engadget –
From humble beginnings as a sales associate in 1985 with no college education Brian Dunn climbed the corporate ladder at Best Buy, eventually finding himself at the top of the food chain in 2009 when he took over as CEO. Unfortunately, for this rags-to-riches poster-boy, his reign has come to an end. Dunn and BBY announced today that the long-time employee will be stepping down from his position as chief executive and will be replaced in the interim by board member Mike Mikan. The big box retailer said in a statement that the agreement was mutual and the decision had nothing to do with any disagreements with Dunn regarding “operations, financial controls, policies or procedures.” However, with the company struggling so mightily, it’s hard to believe that rash of store closings and poor fiscal performance are unrelated to the decision that it’s “time for new leadership.” Full PR after the break.
