While it was just a couple of years ago that both AT&T and T-Mobile were eager to merge, it looks like whatever love they had for each other has since been lost as T-Mobile has recently filed a lawsuit against AT&T, alleging that AT&T “stole” the magenta color for the logo of the carrier’s Aio prepaid service. According to the lawsuit, T-Mobile claims that AT&T did it on purpose to confuse and potentially steal customers away from T-Mobile using a shade of magenta that T-Mobile had actually trademarked. T-Mobile believes that by looking at just the color alone, customers would associate Aio with T-Mobile, when in reality it belongs to AT&T.
In fact T-Mobile’s CEO, John Legere, has gone on Twitter to poke fun at AT&T’s choice of color. However according to an Aio spokeswoman, they are denying any infringement claims as the color used by the company is different from T-Mobile, adding that “T-Mobile needs an art lesson”, and that Aio “doesn’t do magenta”. What do you guys think? Is T-Mobile being unreasonable, or have you or anyone you know actually got confused to who Aio belongs to when you look at their logo? Sound off in the comments below!

We have been hearing horror stories out of China in which iPhone users have been reportedly electrocuted, and in one instance resulted in the death of a young woman. We have also heard about exploding iPhones and it looks like those cases might no longer be just limited to the China region. Just recently we heard about an exploding iPad charger in the UK, and now in the US a man is filing a lawsuit against Apple, claiming that he received “severe, permanent, disfiguring and disabling injuries” that were the result of the iPhone 4. It is not clear if this is the result of the phone overheating to insane proportions, or if it was a case of an exploding device.
Either way this happened back in 2011 with the lawsuit having only recently been filed just last week. The plaintiff is seeking $75,000 in damages that exclude medical and other costs, and according to the formal complaint that was lodge by Michael Filippone, the result of his injury was “due to the negligent, careless, defective and/or hazardous design, manufacture, supply, assembly, maintenance, inspection, repair, packaging, distribution, advertising, marketing and/or sale of said iPhone 4 …” Apple has yet to issue a statement regarding this matter.

We’re sure everyone hates being cold called as much as the next person, after all most of the time it’s for products or services we really don’t need! Well a man in the UK by the name of Lee Beaumont has decided to turn the tables on telemarketers by getting himself a premium-rate phone number in which he actually ends up making money from cold calls! This started back in 2011 when he paid £10 to setup a personal premium-rate line, and what this means is that if you were to call him, it would cost you 10p from which Beaumont would then receive 7p. (more…)
