”Sprint's Shared Plans Also Getting the Unlimited Treatment
Sprint's sort of following in T-Mobile's unlimited family plan footsteps when they rejiggered their plans to include unlimited options for shared plans. Now, if you add an additional line onto one of their $99
call plans
Sprint Call Plan Only $89.99, Loses Inclusive Data
We seemed to have missed this in the recent unlimited call plan-gasm, but Sprint is apparently offering a call plan that rings in at $89.99/month and includes unlimited voice, messaging and push to talk. The plan is cheaper because it does not include any data usage in the price. Still, it is $10 less than Verizon and AT&T offerings, both of which will only give you unlimited voice for $99/month. If you don't need data access via your handset, checkout our awesome cheat sheet to see why this really is exceptional value for money. [Mobileburn]

We've been playing too much Mass Effect, but these Sputnik Subwoofers look like mounted turrets that shoot lasers at you. Instead of lasers, these ceiling-dangling units shoot sound; deep, deep sound. Inside is a 12-inch passive subwoofer that can handle 1000 watts of continuous power directly at your face, provided your face is in its line of sight. Looks deadly, sounds deadly, and goes perfectly with the Venus loudspeakers from Everything But the Box to make a Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker themed living room. If we weren't poor as balls, we'd pick up one of these for $2950. [Audio Junkies]

Scientist Declares Beer as the Source of Civilization and Technology, Nobody Is Surprised
This is a post that Gizmodo's resident hops philosopher Travis should have written, but as he's sleeping one off it's been left up to me. Charlie Bamforth, a British academic who holds the most fabulous of titles—the University of California's Anheuser Busch Endowed Professor of Brewing Science—claims that without beer, we would be without computers, the iPod, Silicon Valley and the space program.
