T-Mobile to offer the Samsung Galaxy S5 for no money down, pre-orders begin March 24th

Looks like the embargo is officially up on Samsung Galaxy S5 pricing. After AT&T revealed earlier today that it'll sell the new flagship phone for $200 on-contract, T-Mobile chimed in to say it will offer the device for no money down, with pre-orders beginning next week, on March 24th. Of course, anyone who knows anything about T-Mobile's UnCarrier pricing plans knows that doesn't mean "free" -- it means you're committing to 24 subsequent monthly payments. So, if you're already sweet on the GS5's Band-Aid-like stylings, and know you prefer T-Mo, you'll want to sign up first thing on Monday.

Microsoft to offer a more personal version of Office 365

Microsoft has a hit on its hands with what it currently offers as Office 365 Home Premium. For $99 per year, you could have the entire suite of Microsoft Office on up to 5 PCs or Apple computers, plus up to 5 mobile devices.

On top of that, you received an extra 20GB of storage on OneDrive for up to 5 users each and 60 minutes of Skype calls per month. The Office suite is installed and stays up to date across all apps, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Access, Outlook and arguably the best Microsoft application in existence, OneNote.

For the individual without a lot of stuff though, all those extras do not pose a lot of value for $99 per year. Today, Microsoft announced it was going to be offering new option, Office 365 Personal. With Office 365 Personal, you get everything that Office 365 Home Premium (soon to be rebranded as Office 365 Home), but for one computer, plus one tablet.

That subscription will cost $69.99 per year (or $6.99 per month). You still get the extra OneDrive space, Skype calls, plus the whole Office suite of applications. That means if you have a regular PC at home, and have a Microsoft Surface Pro for a tablet (or other tablet running full Windows), that tablet is eligible for this offer. Basically getting you two computers set up with Office for $70 per year.

Buying the suite as offered by Office 365 costs $400 by itself, making Office 365 a great deal for those with tablets running a full version of Windows, but hesitant to spend so much on a single license for productivity. Look for Office 365 Personal to be available this spring.

FireEye Drops 9% As Its Stock Price Catches Up With Its Massive Secondary Offer

Today technology security firm FireEye sold a massive set of stock in a secondary offering, following up on its very successful IPO. The company recently purchased Mandiant for ten figures, so the capital is welcome.

A total of 14 million more shares in FireEye are now in free flotation. The company itself sold 5.6 million shares for income of $460 million. The total sale was worth more than $1 billion. The price of the offering, $82 per share, was below the company’s recent trading range. Its shares fell today to match the offering price.

That correction was hardly surprising, in other words.

Why does the FireEye offering matter to you? It shows that public markets are quite open for technology companies; FireEye exploded from an IPO price of 20 a share to north of 90. Investors like what the firm is up to.

Twitter and FireEye’s successful IPOs have held the public door open for companies like Box and Dropbox to start thinking what a nice ticker symbol might be.

CES 2014: Sony and Netflix team up to offer 4K video

Sony took to the stage at CES 2014 to announce a deal with Netflix to bring more 4K content to users' living rooms.

The two have teamed up to improve the amount of 4K movies and TV shows to the Netflix platform, and doing it more quickly too.

Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO, said it saw the internet as 'the natural medium to deliver [4K video] as the first million homes with 4K TVs don't have much content except that found on the net.'

He added that Netflix is working with Sony as well as other content groups to bring 4K to the platform, and original Netflix content, such as House of Cards later this year, will be shot, edited and processed in 4K.

Sharpening the past

Hastings confirmed that it's working with Sony to go back and remaster its content into 4K quality, which will include Breaking Bad among other series.

The new service also allows for faster streaming, with Hastings stating that 4K content began faster than ever before – and users will 'only' need 15Mbps broadband speeds to stream the higher resolution video.

While that might sound like a hefty speed needed, given its four times the resolution of standard HD content it's a rather impressive speed requirement, showing the impressive compression on offer with the new codecs.

We're still waiting on a release date for 4K streaming on Netflix, but when you can finally afford a 4K set the good news is you'll have some stuff to watch from the outset.

Australian watchdog forces Apple to offer 24-month warranties as standard

Apple's had its hand slapped over its product warranties more times than it cares to remember. In its latest brush with competition regulators, the company has been hit with a court order from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) following claims it was misleading customers over their rights to a replacement, refund or repair on faulty products. Similar to its actions in Europe, the ACCC alleges that staff incorrectly applied the company's own warranty policies, including its 14-day return policy and 12-month manufacturer warranty, instead of guarantees required by Australian consumer law.

The ACCC says Apple has agreed to bring its return and repair policies in line with local laws and will now provide consumers with coverage for a minimum of 24 months -- like it does in Europe and other parts of the world. It's not the first time Apple has had run-ins with the ACCC either, last year it was fined AU$2.29 million ($2 million) for "deliberately" misleading customers over the 4G capabilities of its new iPad. Australian customers will soon be able to visit a new webpage on the Apple Store which clarifies the differences between the company's own policies and those set out by law, putting an end to warranty confusion once and for all.

AT&T signs deal with EE to offer 4G data roaming in the UK

AT&T's mission to provide superfast data outside of the US has been given another big boost, courtesy of EE. The UK carrier announced today that it has become the first domestic provider to offer 4G roaming to international travellers, with AT&T coming on board as its first partner. AT&T has been moving fast: just last week it signed a deal with Rogers to provide quick LTE data anywhere the Canadian provider has compatible coverage. EE doesn't intend to limit itself either -- the carrier says today's agreement is the first of many deals it expects to announce over the coming months, suggesting other US operators could soon follow AT&T's lead.

Walmart to offer iPhone 5s and 5c with no-contract plans this Friday

10 December, 2013 | Comments (16) | Post your comment

Tags: Apple, iPhone

US retailer Walmart has been selling Apple's iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c for a while now, but starting this Friday the two smartphones will be available on its own contract-free carriers Straight Talk Wireless and Net10 Wireless.

The prices match those of SIM-free iPhones from the Apple Store. You can get an iPhone 5s 16GB from Walmart (available in store only) for $650 and an iPhone 5c 16GB (available online) for $550. Walmart also offers iPhone 4S 8GB (in store and online) for $450.

After you get an iPhone, you can sign up for a 30-day plan with Straight Talk for $45/month or Net10 for $50/month (additional lines in Net10's Friends and Family service cost $40). If you want unlimited international calls, add $15 a month to either Straight Talk or Net10.

These plans last only one month and can be renewed at the end of the period, but you don't have to (unlike traditional contracts, there's no early termination fees).

Also, if you have a Walmart credit card, you can get financing for the iPhones with no interest if you pay the money back in 18 months, 24 months if you bought an iPhone 5s. Financing is done in-store only.

Note that the plans are listed as unlimited for voice, texts and data with an asterisk. If you use more than 2.5GB of data for the month, you'll be dropped to lower speeds. Also, for the unlimited international calls, you are limited to calling 15 unique phone numbers during the month. Both the data usage and list of international numbers are reset when a new plan is activated.
