SFPD says it helped Apple in iPhone hunt, says SF Weekly

By Wilson RothmanSF Weekly's deep investigation of the alleged hunt for a missing iPhone has another twist to it: The San Francisco Police Department previously told SF Weekly that it was not involved in a hunt for a missing iPhone, giving the assumption that Apple investigators were impersonating officers. Now the SFPD says it did indeed accompany Apple and stood by while company officials searched a man's home. aIn what sounds like a complete reversal, SFPD told SF Weekly that "three or four" officers did in fact accompany two Apple security staffers to a home in search of a missing iPhone. However, this is where the tale gets even more sinister: According to the SFPD representative that SF Weekly talked to, the officers did not accompany the Apple investigators...

Get theater-quality sound from one speaker

Bowers & WilkinsaBowers & Wilkins PanoramaaBy Steve Williams, Techlicious.comaThat wafer-thin flat-screen TV you bought may be a treat for the eyes, but your ears are another story. The speakers built into skinny TVs are, by definition, small and thin, which limits their ability to move air. And since moving air is what sound is all about, you end up with flat, compressed audio.aWhat to do? You could buy a full surround-sound system, with speakers up front and behind, but that often means running wires from the front of the room to the back, and certainly means more boxes and clutter. Or you could go with an increasingly popular alternative, the soundbar.aA soundbar does away with multiple speaker boxes, along with unsightly cables and wires. It combines three or more speakers...

Is your Netflix queue in trouble?

By Wilson RothmanPeople who are blissfully addicted to their Netflix Instant Queue may not realize where all that not-quite-premium-but-totally-watchable content comes from.

AT&T-T-Mobile deal? Either way, customers lose

By Wilson RothmanThe Department of Justice is trying to put the kibosh on AT&T's proposed buy-out of T-Mobile, saying it would result in "higher prices, fewer choices and lower quality products for mobile wireless services."aWhile this is true, it's just as likely that the damage is already done. Why would a phone shopper commit to a two-year contract with a troubled carrier, whose parent company shows little interest in improving? Either outcome seems equally dismal, at least in the near term, from the user perspective.aT-Mobile is a decent fourth-place carrier, with excellent pricing and a higher speed 4G network that has held its own against the larger carriers. Subscribers who live in big cities, where T-Mobile's coverage is concentrated, experience satisfactory performance and are...
