So, here we are on your actual brink. My agency’s going to become a part of the military, I’ve got a president with his finger poised on the button, and you want me to walk across the park and tell him we want to hitch a ride with those very same Russians. Have I missed [...]

I missed Qualcomm’s announcement last week, but it’s pretty impressive, if a little freaky.
Qualcomm’s new “HandSolo” technology allows consumers to get implantable baseband-transceiver SoC chips right in their fingertips. They can then initiate and receive calls with their fingers and thumb, even transfering calls through a high-five. Qualcomm’s WirelessLife.com has the latest.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the new particle accelerator built to probe the origin of the universe, is the largest scientific instrument on the planet. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will generate so much data that a Global Grid will be activated in Cern to capture the data it generates.
The “red button” day, when [...]
The CTIA is aligning with television broadcasters, and urging FCC to license — and auction — TV white spaces, reports RCR Wireless News.

Adopting a “white spaces” vision, Google is resurrected the 700 MHz band this week with a letter to the FCC presenting its plans to provide wireless Internet access to the entire U.S. (FCC pdf).
Google and other technology companies including Intel, Philips and Microsoft have pressed the FCC to open up the unused TV airwaves [...]
While at an RV show this weekend, I saw a mobile WiFi router with a cellular booster amp for WiFi access in remote places. The $795 kit delivers a solid cellular signal where regular phones can’t and the WiFi router is smaller, cheaper and faster than satellite connections.
I talked to Rob Taylo whose [...]
