T-Mobile surprises subscribers after testing 'Presidential Alert' system early (Digital Trends)

Posted: 05 Nov 2011 02:13 PM PDT

Digital Trends - Occurring on early Friday, a handful of T-Mobile customers were treated to a test of the Personal Localized Alert Network (PLAN) that occurred before any scheduled public test. Originally reported by Lance Ulanoff over at Mashable, the test involved a startling noise that played on his HTC Radar 4G that was similar to the alert siren heard when the Emergency Broadcast System is tested on a television, likely taking T-Mobile customers by surprise. Upon checking the screen of the HTC Radar 4G, Ulanoff discovered the words “Presidential Alert” as well as “Test” sent in the format of a text message. T-Mobile issued a statement on late Friday that apologized for the mistake and mentioned that the test was supposed to be distributed to a small group of beta testers.

Appolicious - It's November, which means we're mere weeks away from Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the holiday shopping season at large.

Social media aggregation comes to Occupy Wall Street (Digital Trends)

Posted: 05 Nov 2011 01:41 PM PDT

Digital Trends - Since the launch of the leaderless Occupy Wall Street movement approximately seven weeks ago, tracking ongoing events in New York City has been difficult due to the limited media coverage as well as the massive size of the protest. The events on Wall Street have also spawned additional protests in several major U.S. cities including Denver, Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis and San Diego. Keeping tabs on the latest development has now become simpler with the launch of Occupationalist, a social media aggregator that combines constantly updated content from Tumblr, Twitter, Google Video, Meetup.com and Foursquare into a single page.

Nook Tablet Rumors Do Little to Address Content Issue (ContributorNetwork)

Posted: 05 Nov 2011 07:50 AM PDT

ContributorNetwork - COMMENTARY | The Nook Color is probably one of the best selling Android powered tablets, but the tablet has several limitations when it comes to multimedia. With the release of the Kindle Fire rapidly approaching, Barnes & Noble is going to have to do something drastic to keep their product relevant. Not just relevant through the holiday selling season, but relative to the point of just existing. Just like every other great coming technological gadget, there is of course no shortage of rumors that a Nook Tablet is coming soon.

HBO GO released for Roku, limited to specific providers (Digital Trends)

Posted: 05 Nov 2011 11:20 AM PDT

Digital Trends - Earlier this week, Roku rolled out an update that offered access to the HBO GO application. Assuming that a Roku owner is currently subscribed to an approved provider, users can download the application and watch the latest in HBO original programming. However, HBO doesn’t provide any method to subscribe directly to the service due to existing relationships with cable and satellite companies. A Roku owner must be subscribed to HBO through Verizon FiOS, Cox, Charter, ATT U-verse, Dish Network, Massillon Cable/Clear Picture, WOW!, Suddenlink or RCN to gain access to the programming. This method of access goes against how some of the public views the streaming device as a way to ditch expensive cable or satellite service.

Opinion: Ultrabook first impressions: Thin is in, and finally practical (Digital Trends)

Posted: 05 Nov 2011 05:45 AM PDT

Digital Trends - I got my first Ultrabook in yesterday â€" an Asus Zenbook UX21E-DH71 (don’t get me started on naming). This is the 11.6-inch Intel Core i7 version, and Asus is putting itself on the map with two screen sizes (adding a 13.3-inch), two processors (the i5 and i7), and two SSD configurations (128GB and 256GB). That boils down to a whopping five model numbers. It sounds complex, but remember the iPod comes in two colors, three memory sizes, and two radio configurations, which should equal 12 configurations… but suddenly my head hurts.
