Still hungry for a closer look at Sony’s WiFi-packing NEX-6 despite perusing our hands-on? Apparently the FCC feels the same, so it’s used its government-granted authority to inspect the camera first-hand, and tear it apart in the process. This isn’t the only time the 16.1-megapixel shooter has been given the ruler treatment, but a full copy of its user’s manual has notably come along for its US visit. Check out the gallery below to view this NEX’s guts, or hit the source link to gloss over a PDF of the instruction manual — might as well get the boring stuff done before the package arrives in November.
So the iPhone 5 is coming out. Its LTE data speeds mean you’ll stand a much better chance of blowing past your data caps, which in turn means those grandfathered Verizon and AT&T unlimited data plans are more precious than ever. Here’s how to make sure you don’t lose yours. More »

Want to know the definition of frustration? Try being teased with a FiOS TV app that supports live streaming, only to be denied when the app shows up. The end to that (admittedly mild) form of torture may be in sight. Engadget has learned through a tip that Verizon is sending invitations among a limited group to test a new FiOS TV iOS app with the usual schedule browsing, DVR control… oh, and live TV. Flex View On Demand videos and local media should be on tap as well, although it’s not clear whether or not any of the options will require an active link to Verizon’s fiber or cellular networks to watch. The trial leaves some time to go before we’re tuning in through a bedside iPhone 5; even so, it suggests the gap between hope and reality is about to close.
Nintendo made a lot of big announcements during its Wii U event earlier today, but perhaps one of the biggest reveals was that Bayonetta 2 is coming to the console. Not only that, but Sega has opted to make it a Wii U exclusive, something that will likely come as a shock to fans. There wasn’t any talk of Bayonetta 2 being a timed exclusive, and since Nintendo is publishing the game, the chances of it coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 seem pretty slim.
That’s surprising, considering that the original Bayonetta missed a Wii release entirely – it only came to Xbox 360 and PS3, with Sega understandably skipping the Wii. Now its sequel will be exclusive to Wii U, which is something that’s bound to make some fans upset. After all, a lot of people loved the first Bayonetta, and many of those fans aren’t going to be happy with the fact that they’ll need to buy a brand new console if they want to play the second one.
Details are still extremely scarce, but Nintendo and Sega did show off a brief teaser trailer during the presentation. The teaser obviously doesn’t show any in-game footage, which leads us to believe that Bayonetta 2 is still in the early stages of development. Also absent was talk of a potential release date or window, so don’t expect Bayonetta 2 to be releasing around the same time as the games in that long list of Wii U launch titles. Have a look at the teaser below.
As you can see, there isn’t much to write home about in the trailer. It looks like we’ll be waiting for more details, and we could be waiting a while if development on Bayonetta 2 is in the initial stages like we suspect. In the meantime, tell us what you think – are you excited that Bayonetta 2 will be a Wii U exclusive, or do you want it on Xbox 360 and PS3 as well?
Until now, details have been scarce about the Office 2013 RT. Microsoft did reveal a few details about the software at the IFA event but has now dished out a more elaborated post, mentioning some of its key features. The company has also confirmed that it will roll out a Preview release of Office 2013 RT.
Initially, the RT tablets will arrive with this Preview release. However, eventually the company plans on updating the RT tablets with a final edition of Office 2013 RT through an update. (more…)
Have you ever seen those guys on the bus that are listening to music through their phone’s speakers? Don’t be that guy. Nobody likes that guy.

For all the explaining that Microsoft has done, there’s still a fair bit that’s not clear about what Windows RT will actually look like when it ships next month. The company has filled in one of those gaps today, though, detailing what it hopes will be one of the operating system’s big selling points: Office for Windows RT. Perhaps the biggest news is Microsoft’s confirmation of earlier reports that the productivity suite will actually ship as a preview release on Windows RT devices, with a free upgrade to the final version promised between early November and January depending on the language. What’s more, Microsoft has also confirmed that Office for Windows RT will unsurprisingly be a bit stripped down compared to its standard Windows 8 counterpart — there’s no macros, for starters, and you’ll have to make do without add-ins and some other features like the ability to record narrations in PowerPoint. It’s also only going to be available as a pre-installed component of Windows RT — no standalone release is planned. You can find a full breakdown of the differences at the link below.
An Apple Store usually holds a whole lot of Apple devices, ranging from iPhones to iPads and Mac notebooks. The stores have become one of the key revenue streams for Apple since they contribute very significantly to Apple’s overall sales.
A new video has surfaced now which shows a BMW X5 crashing right into the front window of a California Apple Store. The hit is intentional as we can then see a person rushing to the tablets set with Apple devices in the store and stuffing his bag with the merchandise. (more…)
