Doing business in multiple countries is very tricky business. You have to be mindful of each countries’ laws, which, of course, vary from country to country. That’s especially true when it comes to data storage and retention, and sometimes even the biggest companies have no choice but to comply. That’s the situation Apple faced in Russia and a recent filing … Continue reading
AT&T is continuing to move forward with its bullshit strategy to rebrand slightly enhanced 4G service as “5G E,” 9to5Mac reported on Monday, with some of its customers who have downloaded the latest iOS 12.2 beta reporting that the 5G E icon has replaced the LTE service icon on iPhones.
Batteries are an integral part of Tesla’s business and the company is always looking to further improve in this regard. To that end, the company today confirmed its acquisition of battery technology company Maxwell. This San Diego-based company has been acquired by Tesla for $4.75 per share, valuing the deal at $218 million.
Maxwell Technologies says that it already has board approval for the deal and that the acquisition should be closed either in or shortly after the second quarter of this year.
Tesla hasn’t really detailed why it chose to acquire Maxwell, only saying that “We are always looking for potential acquisitions that make sense for the business and support Tesla’s mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.”
One can bet that Tesla bought this company for its energy storage and power delivery technology, something it has been doing since Maxwell was founded in 1965. That technology might enable Tesla to produce batteries that can not only hold more energy but also last longer, thus enabling Tesla’s cars to travel further distances on a single charge.
Maxwell announced in January that it had developed and patented a “dry electrode” technology which could significantly improve the driving range as well as reduce the cost of batteries for electric vehicles. Maxwell said that it expected alliances built around this technology “within six months.”

Wanna keep the champagne flowing at your party, but want to up the fun factor? Check out the Bubbly Blaster. It’s a metal spray head attachment made for champagne bottles that turns them into squirt guns. Oh yeah. This is going to be a good time. Once the party is over you’ll have the added benefit of a costly renovation thanks to all of the damage caused by sticky champagne all over everything, so maybe move the party outside before you bust out this blaster.
This gadget attaches to your bottle and it can shoot as far as 30-feet. It also doubles as a stopper. It will cost you $100, or you could just hold your thumb over the bottle like a normal person who doesn’t like to throw money away. That’s up to you. Actually, I would suggest a Super Soaker if you really must waste your champagne.
This is just further proof that rich people don’t have enough things to occupy their time. When you have nothing better to do than shoot champagne at each other… Well, actually that’s a pretty good life. You know, you guys could always load up a cannon and shoot some expensive stuff our way. Just an idea. Maybe some gold.

Epic added a new Creative mode to its popular Fortnite game in the relatively recent past, and now it has announced a new element available in it: coins. The company is calling for its most creative players to make new islands that contain these coins, dangling the chance at being featured as incentive. The first of these islands will be … Continue reading
