Internal AT&T Memo Details Contract Free Rate Plans, Handset Must be Paid for in Full
One of our sources at AT&T has leaked to us an internal document; the memo details the process for obtaining a contract bundle without the obligatory 1 or 2-year commitment term. The basis for the non-commitment bundles is the customer must pay for the handset in full, losing the subsidized rate that is offered with fixed contract terms. The memo pins the start date of the non-commitment bundles as November 2007, but we have heard no word on any such contractual freedom previously. UPDATE: This entire document, another source tells us, is meant to inform ill informed employees of an existing thing. AT&T has done this for years.More »

Huzzah! I've discovered why XviD files didn't work in the PlayStation DivX Playback test. Apparently, streaming over Windows Media Player 11 does not work for any XviD files and most DivX files, but it does work fine if you load the files onto an external USB drive or burn it to a DVD. But there's a workaround, kind of.

PlayStation 3 XviD Playback Update: It Works, Kinda

PlayStation 3 DivX Playback Tested
The PlayStation 3 2.10 update is here, bringing with it not only Blu-ray Profile 1.1 support (which adds picture in picture among other things), but DivX and WMV playback as well. Unfortunately, DivX support means DivX support, and doesn't include XviD as some of us hoped according to readers includes XviD support, but the files we have tested don't work at all. We threw our normal battery of files at our PS3, and came to the conclusion that it's not quite as good as the Xbox 360 implementation. Here are our notes.
Update: We've found that XviD playback does work, but only on burned DVDs and external hard drives. See here for an update and a workaround.

Latest by Plaka: Hi :) I'm new in this PS3 WiFi streaming, I wonder if it is possible to get the DivX/XviD movie with subtitles on PS3? Subtitles would be in MicroDVD, Substation Alpha or other popular TXT-subtitle format... Does somebody know how to get it done? Best Regards, P. more »

More Details on Zune Social Networking Features
This is not text messaging and it's not even on the Zune itself. This is just a document illustrating how the Zune Social networking features will work in the software on your PC. You're sending messages—pointers to songs or albums—with your own notes to your friends, which are shown in the inbox portion of the software. No new features we haven't seen yet, just a doc showing how it'll work. We've sent Haroon to remedial reading comprehension school in the mean time. -J.C. More »

Apple Confirms October 26th Leopard Ship Date, Preorders Start Now
The horse has spoken: The eagerly anticipated, occasionally delayed Mac OS 10.5 Leopard is finally shipping. It will be available in 10 days, on Friday, October 26th, at 6pm in Apple Stores and at authorized resellers. Leopard may be the most ambitious MacOS update since the switch to OS X, with new features such as Time Machine, Spaces and Quick Look, plus updated iChat and Mail and a snazzy new Dock with Stacks. The upgrade will cost $129 for a single-user license, and $199 for five-user "family pack." Meanwhile, if you've bought a Mac anytime on or after October 1st, you'll get an upgrade for the cost of shipping ($9.95). Today's announcement has a few surprise features that we check out here, but we'll have an interview where we can dig for more. (Oh, and preorders start today at Apple's website.)Apple also confirmed the simultaneous shipping of the Leopard Server software, and unveiled a new utility, Podcast Producer, "the ideal way to automatically publish podcasts to iTunes or the web."

Woz and Kathy Griffin NOTMAYBE Hooked Up?
[UPDATE: I took a pass, noting inconsistencies. - B.L.]Turns out the rumor of Kathy Griffin fondling Woz's apples were a bit off, according to Adario Strange. He's proudly skeptical of the whole thing, pointing to a Page Six post that he claims says the two have never met. But reading the Page Six page actually says the contrary. Adario, which is it?

Along with that news is the Disney Flix Video Cam that includes Disney Director software, packed with storyboards, sound effects, character voices, and music, guaranteeing your rug rats are able to cobble together movies of at least the same quality as the straight-to-video kind of Cinderella IV or whatever.
Along with this, there are the already-covered Disney iPod Dock and those 15-inch TVs with high def tuners and 1024 x 768 Sharp LCDs.
