iPod Shuffle Owner Files Lawsuit Against Apple For Not Being Sweat-Resistant

Imagine being so angry at your $59 iPod Shuffle conking out, that you’d file a lawsuit against Apple. He must have a serious lack of shame too, as his reason for the Shuffle breaking? It wasn’t immune to his sweat. Fair enough, the Shuffle is marketed as being the ultimate MP3 player for those of…

Storing Your Data For a Billion Years

As concerned as we are about memory, we haven’t done much to preserve it. Most of our hard drives don’t last past 30 years. But soon, using diamond-like carbon nanotubes, even your Gizmodo comments could last practically forever.

Astro A30 Headset Works on PCs, Consoles and Phones

The Astro A40 headset is an expensive set of cans designed for professional gamers. It’s not really for you and me. The A30 takes what made pro nerds love it and brings it down to our level. https://gizmodo.com/astro-a40-chat-headset-review-5412762 The A40’s cost $250, which is completely nuts for a gaming headset.

First Windows Phone 7 Code Dump Might Reveal Some Secrets

Windows Phone 7 OS code, pulled from the emulator image—build 7.0.0.6077 to be precise—has been dumped on xda developers, meaning it’s being torn apart as we speak.

T-Mobile HSPA+ Speed Test: 3G Gets Pumped Up to 21Mbps

But T-Mobile’s beefed up HSPA+ network, which I tested recently in the first city to launch, handled these tasks beautifully. Simultaneously.

The Nexus One Is a Total Sales Flop

74 days after the iPhone was introduced at $600 a pop (six hundred dollars), one million were sold. The Droid, at $200: 1.05 million. The Nexus One? An estimated 135,000 units. By any measure, that’s a total sales flop. These numbers don’t add up because the phone is good. The Nexus One is only sold…
