You know what they say – if everyone else is doing it, why not go ahead and give it a go yourself? Surely the majority cannot be wrong, right? That is the case with US Cellular, as this mobile carrier in the US intends to jump aboard the shared data plan bandwagon by offering a slew of options to consumers as well as small businesses, just like how the larger mobile carriers have already done so. US Cellular makes sure that customers will be able to hook up to 10 different devices to a similar pool of data.

In order to help you plan your budget better, plans will begin at $40 a month for 300MB which is pretty paltry when you think about it, but if you know that you need something that is a whole lot more practical, then there is always a monthly fee of $560 a pop for a whopping 75GB of storage space. Those are meant for personal use, as businesses themselves will be on the receiving end of a modified deal, where you can have up to 25 different devices hooked up to 100GB for $750 monthly. All of the plans will include unlimited voice, messaging and of course, tethering thrown into the mix as well. Alternatively, you will be able to rely on a per device charge that might make things more manageable for you.

On Twitter, what’s fascinating isn’t merely what people write. I try to picture where they were and what they were wearing as they were tweeting.

So I am imagining Rupert Murdoch on Sunday night, slurping on a glass of fine, golden beer, seated in a red velvet smoking jacket.

Clutching his phone, filled with the kind of irritating news a boss often receives, he cast his frustrations to the wind. Or, rather to the Twitterati.

For Sunday night, News Corp.’s heart and soul offered: “‘Please expose Eric Schmidt, Google’ etc. Just wait!”

There is so little here, and yet so much. Firstly, what secrets can possibly be hidden by the always open government of Google? What dark insinuations are being proposed here?

Is it merely to do with the alleged theft of all the world’s news? Or might there be something even more menacing and filled with acronyms such as NSA, LSD, or LOL?

And why single out Executive Chairman Schmidt? Why not Google’s true self-driving force, Larry Page? Is there something of a personal nature that Murdoch would like exposed?

Only last week we reported that a couple of well known Android tinkerers had teamed up to create the root method for AT&T Galaxy Note 3. They’ve now replicated the same for Big Red’s variant, allowing users to root Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V. The method is actually called Root De La Vega, an obvious jab at AT&T CEO Ralph De La Vega. The carrier is known for its disapproval of unlocked bootloaders, but that doesn’t stop tinkerers from getting their way and opening up paths for the millions of commoners who use these devices.

Since the root method has essentially been replicated for the Verizon variant, the same limitations apply. Those who want to root Verizon Galaxy Note 3 would require a Windows PC, the method can’t be done through a Mac. Samsung’s ODIN tool will be required as well, and it wouldn’t hurt if aspiring root maestros knew the various technicalities that surround the process. Also, the device’s entire internal memory will be wiped, so please make a backup before proceeding. Through this method, a pre-rooted version of stock Galaxy Note 3 firmware is installed on the device, which is why the root package weighs almost 1.24GB. Since the bootloader on Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V remains locked, custom kernels and recoveries can’t be installed at this moment. The root package and relevant instructions can be found over at XDA forums.
