The WSJ is reporting that Google is ready to dump half a billion dollars in marketing for the upcoming Moto X. That’s a huge chunk of change. Supposedly, the Moto X will be available on all four major carriers, free of most of those carriers crapware and will come in different colors.

After releasing its massive 85-inch UHD TV with a stunning $39,999 price in the US earlier this year, Samsung is ready to follow up with a few models that are more easily attainable. The 65- and 55-inch F9000 UHD TVs will carry US pricetags of $7,499 and $5,499, respectively, with pre-orders starting July 21st and shipments expected in early August. Samsung just began delivering these in its home country, and others like Sony, LG, Sharp and Toshiba are starting to offer 4K TVs in smaller sizes (not to mention value priced contenders like Seiki.) The F9000 series includes all of Samsung’s latest features like 3D, Micro Dimming Ultimate LED display, Wi-Fi and an embedded camera, plus support for Evolution Kit upgrades the company claims will let it keep pace with any future UHD standards.

We just received a few more internal training documents that further explains the new Unlimited plans that Sprint will be launching this coming Friday. Of course, that Sprint Unlimited Guarantee is only available for the “unlimited” part of any plan you sign up for, and it doesn’t mean the rate won’t change over time. The guarantee is also only applicable to the new “Unlimited, My Way” plans, and not to the existing “Everything” plans, even if those “Everything” plans have unlimited data. It doesn’t apply to tablets, just phones, and is non-transferrable to another subscriber.

Existing Sprint customers who want to swap out their plans to the new ones may do so without extending their contract, though new lines do require a two-year service agreement. To those who have employer discounts, the carrier will discount the monthly data charge for each line rather than the primary rate plan. However, it also states that the My All-In plan (the one that bundles unlimited talk, text, data and a 5GB mobile hotspot) is not eligible for any discount, employer or otherwise.

Peek-a-boo! The bow hides the electromagnet in the front of the bra.

The old “Clap on, clap off” jingle from the ’80s has a new product to attach itself to, and that product sits right on your chest, ladies.

While you can’t snag a Clap-Off Bra at Macy’s, Instructables has a step-by-step tutorial that only requires two circuit boards, an Arduino, a 28-pin socket, two 22pF capacitors, a 10uF capacitor, a 1K resistor, a 10K resistor, a 100K resistor, a 7805 voltage regulator, and a few other items you’re sure to have in your soldering kit.

Basically, the battery-operated bra uses an electromagnet that controls a switch to make the undergarment pop off when someone claps nearby (video mildy NSFW). Creator Randy Sarafan, a hacker and new-media artist, says the bra was inspired by the creative electronic lingerie (like remote-controlled and glow-in-the-dark unmentionables) one finds in Syrian bazaars.
