Zero dollars down, Simple Choice and Jump? T-Mobile must be downright crazy! Either that, or it’s a carrier struggling to make a serious impact on a market dominated by two juggernauts — juggernauts who also came out with early upgrade plans of their own within a week of Jump’s debut. T-Mobile’s “back at it,” according to its press material, dropping the entry price on a slew of devices down to zero, effectively spreading out the payments over 24 months. All told, the promotion includes smartphones, tablets and hotspots, and is open to folks who are “well-qualified” (check your credit statements if you have any questions on that front). The deal starts tomorrow and runs for a “limited time.” Unsurprisingly, there’s also some fine print attached (e.g., the 32GB and 64GB iPhone 5 isn’t covered). The carrier’s site can break down all of that for you, and there’s also more info to be had in a press release after the break.

Did you know that the US government’s third-largest agency is ramping up a 20-year, $4.5 billion construction project that will turn the grounds of a former mental hospital into an "elaborate" headquarters for its sprawling network of agencies? It’s already a decade behind schedule and $1 billion over budget.

Whenever you go out to your favorite coffee haunt, or are simply chilling out at a bistro or bar that has free Wi-Fi connectivity, surely there are moments when you bring your work along with you. With the MacBook Air from Apple being one of the more popular notebooks to tote around simply because of its super slim design as well as lightweight form factor, it is not a good idea to leave your MacBook Air lying on the table where you are seated (especially if you are alone) while you head off to the washroom to relieve yourself. After all, you can never quite tell just when someone has cast a jealous eye on your MacBook Air and have been looking for an opportunity to relieve you of it when you are not around. Enter the MacBook Air Lock Bracket Kit from Maclocks.

The MacBook Air Lock Bracket Kit works as it says – it is a cutting-edge discreet bracket lock that offers MacBook Air users with an additional and unique method to secure your extremely slim MacBook Air. This is made possible thanks to an inconspicuous super-slim ultra-light solution which will not make your MacBook Air’s sleek design look out of place.

Made out of high-grade aerospace aluminum bracket, it has been specially designed with the patented “Wedge” security slot. The Wedge Security Cable (also touted to come along with the slimmest locking head in the world, and you are definitely free to dispute that claim) will feature a 360-degree rotational locking head which paves the way for a full range of motion, all the while holding the secured device firmly and in place. The super slim bracket measures a mere 1mm thin, and it tips the scales at under 0.1lb, now how about that? You can fasten it to the bottom of the MacBook Air easily using its own original four screw holes. The new MBA Lock Bracket Kit will arrive in 11″ and 13″ sizes, where placing a pre-order for either will cost you $69.95.

Isn’t this little guy adorable? He looks like a Dalek, but I’ve never seen a Dalek looking this cute. Now that you’ve seen him, I’m sure he’s the envy of all you Doctor Who crafters out there.

Rene24601 participated in the Craftster Doctor Who crafts exchange. As the name implies, members of the group exchange crafts projects. Rene must have been super excited when she pulled this thing out of the box, lovingly created by craftyzooprgrl. Also included were nifty Cyberman, TARDIS, and Adipos pins and the weeping angel needle threader you see in the pic.

This is really nice work. The cutting edge of Doctor Who crafts. I want one – just because.

Some robots go into hospitals, others are getting ready to head into space, and some lucky robots are built to go just about anywhere that they need to. One of those robots in Rhex, whose name is pronounced rex, and with a funky set of semi-circle legs this bot can do some advanced manuvers.
