US Cellular Launches New 4G LTE Router

US Cellular Launches New 4G LTE Router

US Cellular today launched a new 4G router for consumers and small business owners, offering them 4G LTE connectivity. This router would be perfect for customers who aren’t serviced by DSL or cable providers, or simply customers who just don’t want their connection to be limited to one location. One can use the router at home or at the office by simply taking it along with them.

Bear in mind though that this isn’t a portable router, so its not like users will be able to access the 4G LTE network in the car. The router doesn’t have a battery. It is actually a Netgear LG2200D router which has been specially customized for US Cellular. The router is capable of supporting up to 30 Wi-Fi clients as well as four ethernet-connected device through its LAN ports. The two USB ports can be used to share an external drive or a printer with network clients.

Customers will need to sign up for a two year data plan. The router itself costs $99, they will pay for service on top of that. There are a variety of plans available that offer data caps from 300MB up to 75GB, obviously the plan’s cost goes up as the data allowance increases.

Past, Present, and Future Watch shows you only what you need to see

Past, Present, Future Watch
When we look at a watch, we want to know the time of the present down to the minute and possibly the second. Our lives run on a schedule, and while our phone is usually the best way to keep track of “when we are”, a wristwatch is a more discreet way of checking the time without looking like you’re bored at a meeting. However, instead of showing you one fixed point in time, it shows you what is, what was, and what will be.

The Past, Present, Future Watch shows you the present minute and hour, with the past and future times being slightly obscured. This way you can only see the relevant numbers, and not worry about what what comes before or after. The design is simple and small, but it makes its own statement. The buckled wristband is made of black leather, and the watch is somewhat water resistant, but you likely don’t want to submerse your hands in a tub or sink.

While this isn’t overly crazy like the Tokyoflash watches we’ve seen in the past, it does have a unique style that is borderline minimalistic. As it isn’t too obtrusive, those who spend much of the day typing would likely not even have to worry about removing this for comfort reasons. If you’re interested in this watch, it will cost you around $110.

Available for purchase on Amazon

WhatsApp Now Has Half A Billion Active Users

WhatsApp Now Has Half A Billion Active Users

Its safe to say that WhatsApp is the most popular cross platform messaging service in the world. It has numbers to back up this statement. Just today the company announced that it has reached the significant milestone of having half a billion active users around the world. Collectively users are sharing 700 million photos and 100 million videos every single day through WhatsApp. Some of its fastest growing markets over the last few months have been Brazil, India, Mexico and Russia.

WhatsApp was recently in the news a lot for a totally different reason. Facebook decided to acquire it for a whopping $19 billion. Some believed that Facebook grossly overpaid for WhatsApp, however CEO Mark Zuckerberg is of the view that the service is worth more than the $19 billion he proverbially paid. The deal has already received the green light from FTC, approval from international regulatory bodies is pending.

It has taken WhatsApp roughly a month and a half to add 50 million new active users. The last update on user stats it posted was in February when WhatsApp had 450 million active users. WhatsApp is very well on its way of reaching one billion users. It has witness rapid growth in the past year alone and its certainly not going anywhere anytime soon.

“Desire Lines” Are the Real Future of Urban Transit

"Desire Lines" Are the Real Future of Urban Transit

For many cities, the grid of the streets and transit systems were likely laid down long before the buildings grew up around them, thanks to the rigor of planners and engineers who knew best. But as cities transition in ways that challenge the century-old plan, they need new and quick ways to improvise connections between areas of growth. These are known as "desire lines."
