    Novena Open Laptop Begins Crowdfunding

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    Earlier this year we reported on a particular device called the Novena. For those who might have missed our coverage or who are learning about this for the first time, the Novena is an open laptop concept. As we’re sure many of you guys know, laptops are pretty hard to customize, not to mention pretty expensive to customize as well.

    This is unlike desktops where users are pretty much free to swap out whatever parts they need or don’t need. That being said it seems that the creators of the Novena laptop, Bunnie Huang and Sean Cross, have decided to crowdfund the project. (more…)

    T-Mobile Offering $100 Credit To BlackBerry Customers

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    T Mobile Offering $100 Credit To BlackBerry CustomersEarlier today, BlackBerry announced that they would be giving their T-Mobile customers $100 off if they were interested in getting a new handset from the official BlackBerry store. Perhaps this is like a token of apology for inconveniencing T-Mobile customers who will no longer be able to purchase BlackBerry phones from the carrier in the future as the licensing agreement between both companies are coming to an end.

    However it looks like T-Mobile has plans of their own and in a recent blog post by T-Mobile’s CEO, John Legere, it seems that the carrier will be willing to give BlackBerry customers $100 in credit towards any new phone as a token of appreciation, although Legere notes that this credit can also be applied towards the BlackBerry phones in their portfolio like the BlackBerry Q10 and the BlackBerry Z10.

    T-Mobile’s John Legere Tweets His Excitement For Windows Phone

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    T Mobiles John Legere Tweets His Excitement For Windows PhoneT-Mobile’s CEO, John Legere, is known for being a rather chatty and outspoken fellow especially on Twitter, and a recent tweet showed the CEO’s excitement for the Windows Phone platform. According to his tweet, Legere writes, “That @windowsphone is awesome! Great for business customers, #amiright?!”

    There is a small chance that Legere might be snubbing BlackBerry, a company that is typically known for its popularity amongst business and government circles. It was recently announced that BlackBerry and T-Mobile would be ending their licensing agreement with one another on the 25th of April which is when their contract is set to expire. (more…)
