AT&T now offers free Wi-Fi for iPhone users
We have known about AT T’s plan to provide free Wi-Fi access to
iPhone users for some time, but news that it actually would become
available was usually squashed by retractions. This time, however, it
appears that AT T is serious. The carrier is sending text messages
to iPhone subscribers, pointing them to a web page that explains the
free access to any of its 17,000 hotspots across the nation.
ATI 4800 series gets off the ground, snags top retail sales spot in September
AMDs latest graphics chip series looked good on paper and good in
benchmarks and it appears that it is returning good sales numbers as
well. Nvidia is still dominating the list of the ten best selling
graphics cards in U.S. retail, but 4850 and 4870 cards had a
particularly strong showing, especially if we consider that the best
selling graphics cards have much lower price points than these models.

Scientists create organic wires for use inside the human body
Research chemists at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) have developed a water-soluble, organic, self-assembling electronic wire suitable for use inside the human body. Derived from carbon materials, the lightweight, flexible wires can power pacemakers, reconnect damaged nerve tissues, while also interacting with real electronic device that could augment or stimulate organic function. But do not worry, for this is only step one of the long process of turning us all into Borg-like drones.

Study finds Text users accurately assess moods, are also more honest
A recent 88 person study conducted by Jeffrey Hancock and his team at Cornell University, found that people communicating over text messages can accurately gauge the other person’s mood and emotional state. In a previous study from 2007, Hancock found that people are more honest in email or when texting than they are when face to face or on the telephone. 37% of his test sample group lied when on the phone, compared to only 14% in texts and emails.
