T-Mobile customers may have to sit tight for a little while longer if they’re planning to pick up a Nokia Lumia 925 or Sony Xperia Z. TmoNews has reportedly obtained a roadmap from the UnCarrier that has the two smartphones launching on July 17th alongside an unidentified (though likely budget-oriented) handset.

What happens when two powerful minds (and old friends) come together at a festival about ideas? A freewheeling conversation about the future of the media, the importance of wisdom in decision making and the need to redefine success beyond money and power, of course.
Arianna Huffington sat down with Walter Isaacson, president of The Aspen Institute at the Aspen Ideas Festival today to discuss all of the above, and more.
“The wisdom we can have when we sit and talk together is so much greater than each of us individually,” Isaacson said.

Okay, we’re day a late, but we’re not $50 dollars short since Richard avoided the World War Z ‘Mega Ticket.’ That much and only a small popcorn? No, thanks. Despite seeing the movie twice for regular price, however, Ben is still convinced that Richard’s the guy who hates every movie and loves every TV show. We’ll let you decide by tuning to this week’s episode of the Engadget Podcast below.

By doing so, the agency is able to anticipate whether a particular space rock is a future threat to our planet, something that
Well, that’s fun. We’ve wrapped up Engadget and gdgt’s first-ever combined New York City event, and boy howdy did we have a heck of a night. A whole bunch of readers braved the heatwave to queue up hours in advance, forming a line that snaked around the block. When the doors opened, they were greeted with gear-packed event space, including lounges from Sony and Samsung and booths from companies like Toshiba, Qualcomm, Nokia and Sling, plus some smaller outfits like our first-ever Insert Coin winner, Ziphius.
The event also featured panels throughout the night, including conversations with Samsung Mobile VP Nick DiCarlo and Sony Electronics senior manager, Ray Hartjen, plus a roundtable discussion on the state of the industry featuring Jordan Crook from TechCrunch, Kevin Tofel from GigaOm and Harry McCracken from Time. IK Multimedia closed things out with performances by prog band Sound of Contact and Living Color leader Vernon Reid. All in all, not a bad night, if we do say so ourselves. We can’t wait to do it again!
