Gemalto — the world’s biggest maker of SIM cards for mobile phones — says that it has “reasonable grounds” to believe that the NSA and GCHQ carried out an operation to hack its network in 2010 and 2011, but the consequences of those actions were not as far-reaching as has been reported. The hack breached Gemalto’s office networks, but it “could not… Read MoreSmartphone Shipments To India Declined For The First Time Ever In Q4 2014, Says IDC

It’s Tuesday. The FCC will vote on its net neutrality plan on Thursday. Given that the FCC is in its sunlight period, you might presume that things have slowed down. They haven’t really.

Feb 24, 11:46PM
Early this morning, we noted that the Pebble Time — Pebble’s new color e-ink smartwatch — had smashed through its $500,000 goal in an absolutely preposterous seventeen minutes.

Nine hours after the launch of the… Read MorePolling Site Polar Not Dead (Or Acquired By Google) After All

A few months ago, TechCrunch, the Wall Street Journal and a number of other publications reported that Google had acquired the social polling startup Polar and that its founders were going to join the Google+ team.
