As the week winds to a close and you begin your weekend festivities, a bit of tech news is only fitting. In today’s US Update we examine the Yahoo email data bug that affects both Windows Phone 7 and iPhone users, we look at Mad Catz Marvel vs Capcom 3 Arcade FightStick, reveal the new Logitech USB gigabit ethernet adapter for the Wii and more.
The Yahoo email data bug affecting Windows Phone 7 users this week now extends to iPhone users. Programmer Rafael Rivera confirmed this by testing an IMAP script which pulled mail from a text inbox. What’s next in the phantom data saga?
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play had two big leaks today, the first promotional display stands and the first commercial. If you’re a fan of the Playstation phone you won’t want to miss this.
The ultimate gaming franchise, Marvel vs Capcom, will add a third installment on February 15th. To build some buzz, Mad Catz has announced a limited edition Marvel vs Capcom 3 Arcade FightStick. With Tournament Edition buttons, this looks to be a prized possession for any Marvel or Capcom fan in your family.
On Sunday in the US, the Super Bowl will be watched in millions of homes, live from Dallas Cowboys Stadium. With a 160 foot long high-definition video board, this stadium is one of the most advanced technological achievements of our time. It took CDW 18 months to design and implement the infrastructure, here’s a behind the scenes look.
Closing out the week in tech is a new Logitech USB gigabit ethernet adapter for the Nintendo Wii. This driver-less adapter does not require AC power, simply plug it into your console and you’ll be off and running at 1000BaseT. If you have a MacBook Air, slim PC or don’t want to upgrade motherboards in your desktop, this could do the trick.
That wraps up tech news for the week from my side of the pond. As always I’m Nick Marshall and I’ll see you again on Monday, over and out.
