Time Warner TV app now streams live sports channels in New York, Dallas, and Charlotte
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Time Warner’s TWC TV app already lets customers stream live television to their phone, and now that also includes a number of sports channels — provided you live in New York City, Dallas, or Charlotte. The new channels supported include the likes of ESPN and TNT, as well as the official networks for the NBA, NHL, and MLB. There are a few regional differences for each city (check out the source link below for the complete listings) but the majority of channels offered are the same. Time Warner says that it had to deal with “technical issues surrounding blackouts” in order to get the new channels up and running, and it’s hoping to launch in additional markets in the future, though no specifics were announced. The TWC TV app is available…

UT Dallas researchers seek to imbue your smartphone with X-ray superpowers
Author: Jamie Colby
If anybody ever told you that the future would be awesome, they were right. A new bit of research has emerged from the University of Texas at Dallas, which describes equipment that may allow people to see through walls — and if that weren’t wild enough, creators of the specialized CMOS imaging hardware believe the same technology could be integrated into our mobile phones. To pull off the feat, the scientists tapped into a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that exists between microwave and infrared known as the terahertz range. Due to privacy concerns, the equipment is being designed to operate at a distance of no more than four inches, but its creator hypothesizes that the technology will still be useful for finding studs in walls, verifying documents and detecting counterfeit currency. In other words, this brand of x-ray vision isn’t exactly on par with Superman’s abilities, but it’s bound to work better than mail order spectacles from Newark.

Dallas man watches live on iPhone as home is robbed
For Dallas resident Vince Hunter, the $4.99 he paid for his iCam iPhone app proved to be more than worth it when he was notified about motion sensors going off in his house and then watched in real-time as burglars broke through his windows. read more

Loopy Art-Trike Bends the Mind
Author: Jade Kim
This trike would fit right into a remake of The Shining, only instead of being ridden by the bowl-haired Danny Torrance, it would be piloted by a stretched, nightmarish cross between a creepy child and a psychedelic, broken-backed dachshund. The movie would, of course, be directed by Terry Gilliam.
The tricycle is in fact a sculpture by Dallas, Texas-based artist Sergio Garcia, and would likely be no less useful than a normal bike in that big, car-friendly state. The 50-inch-high piece is titled “Its not always easy to tell whats real and whats fabricated” and could probably be ridden if you sat backwards and didn’t mind people staring, pointing and murmuring “Red rum, red rum” over and over.
I wonder if Garcia would be interested in a commission. I snapped the frame of my bike at last weekend’s Bike Bolo World Championship in Berlin. I imagine fixing it up with a vertical version of Garcia’s looping tube, arranged around me like a big, skinny steel forcefield stopping any other player for getting near the ball.

Oncor’s ‘Take a Load Off, Texas’ campaign offers Dallas residents smarter thermostats
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Heating and cooling costs make up half of your average home’s utility bills. A smarter thermostat, then, could save you big bucks, and so we’re glad to see Texas utility company Oncor rolling out EcoFactor thermostats to subscribers. These units look straightforward enough, but connect to the interwebs to download weather reports, meaning they can anticipate heatwaves and cool spells and plan accordingly. They can also figure out just how long it takes to get your home to a certain temperature, so if you want it 74 degrees at your pad by the time you arrive from work at 5:30 this thing can figure out the last possible minute it needs to spin up the AC. That’s great, and a $19.95 installation fee is similarly encouraging, but we’re not so keen on the $8.99 “monitoring” fee Oncor will be charging monthly. For that kind of cash this thing should track us on Latitude figure out our schedule by itself.

Upgrade Glitches Hit Some AT&T iPhone Customers
Author: Major Workman
For some iPhone users, months of waiting in anticipation for the iPhone 4 and hours of standing in line ended in a big disappointment. Glitches forced some users who had pre-ordered their phones to go home without a device in hand — even though they thought they were eligible for an upgrade.
Glen LaFratte, a Dallas, Texas, iPhone user, is one of them. LaFratte bought two 3G S phones — for him and his wife — last June. He paid the full price of nearly $700 for each phone.
To his surprise, when he reserved a pair of iPhone 4s a week ago, he found his wife’s phone was deemed not eligible for the upgrade pricing of $200 for a 16-GB version and $300 for the 32-GB model.
LaFratte says he bought both the 3G S phones on the same day and even showed AT&T store representatives a receipt to prove that. But so far, he hasn’t heard back from AT&T with a fix.
“How much blood do they want?” he wrote in an e-mail to Gadget Lab. “Apple needs to dump AT&T. I cannot understand why a huge computer manufacturer like Apple lets a cellular company control their pricing and cripple them.”
Apple’s iPhone 4 debuted in retail stores Thursday morning to huge crowds. Meanwhile, a number of users are complaining about network reception problems with the device, especially when the left and the bottom of the phone is touched or squeezed.
Apple had said that any current iPhone customers whose contracts were due to expire this year would be eligible for the lower upgrade price of $200 for the 16-GB iPhone 4 and $300 for the 32-GB version.
The problems with the upgrade are not widespread, with just a handful of users reporting the issue to Gadget Lab so far.
Among them is Josh Strom, who handles system support for Wired, who faced a similar baffling upgrade problem.
After waiting in line for two hours, Strom found out his pre-ordered iPhone 4 won’t be available for the upgrade price of $200. His current iPhone 3G contract ends this month.
“I am frustrated and really upset with AT&T,” says Strom. “They just couldn’t tell me why I cannot upgrade my iPhone.”
Meanwhile, other AT&T users are discovering that the upgrade pricing may not be for everyone.
At the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference this year, Steve Jobs made an offer that seemed too good to be true.
“I am thrilled to announce that AT&T is going to make an incredibly generous upgrade offer. If your contract expires any time during 2010, you are immediately eligible for a new iPhone 4 at the same $199, $299 prices if you top up your contract for two years. You can get up to six months early eligibility for the iPhone 4,” Jobs told the attendees while introducing the phone.
That declaration, though, left out the fine print. Some AT&T users found that unless your current phone is an iPhone, the upgrade offer does not apply, even if you have another smartphone from AT&T.
Another user, Chris Heery, faced a system glitch that froze him out of the reservation system in the store. He’d canceled his pre-order in the hopes of picking up a phone from the store on the day of the launch. Heery says he might now have to wait until the end of this week so AT&T can sort the issue out and give him an iPhone 4.
If you are eligible for an upgrade and have been denied one by AT&T, let us know what happened. Post your experience in the comments.
