Hasta La Gadget!

In an alternate universe, the characters from Game of Thrones are all alive and kicking. Imagine if they took a break from all that scheming and fighting and decided to live normal lives like ours.

I don’t think they’ll have much difficulty finding mates of their own, but if they ever decided to try online dating, then Team Pwnicorn has got them covered.

“Game of Thrones Dating Profiles” is the newest series by Team Pwnicorn and it’s hilarious, as most of their parodies often are.

Space tourism is coming, and it ain’t gonna be cheap. The question is, how are the rich folks aboard such craft going to pay for… stuff?

(Sorry, space customer support issues.) We’re pretty sure the conversation won’t involve how to pay aliens, but as part of the Galactic launch, PayPal will also announce a new crowdfunding campaign on FundRazr to aid SETI. That’ll help the ET-seeking outfit with its astrobiology and radio astronomy research and, hopefully, keep its dishes pointed skyward, so maybe one day we can horse-trade with the Ferengi.

It may seem hard to believe, but Verizon was the first carrier to launch 4G LTE just two and a half years ago. Now, the carrier has launched the faster data service in its 500th market in the US. This means that Verizon’s LTE now covers 99% of the carrier’s 3G footprint, which is approximately

We’re not always the biggest fans of Time Warner Cable; it’s unreliable, expensive, and they don’t seem to care two hoots about improving it. But we applaud the company’s plan to beef up the free Wi-Fi coverage it offers customers—especially in the congested airspace of New York. Beyond the 1700 hotspots already out there in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island, the company will have 1000 ready to go in Manhattan by mid-July. [TWC]
