If your city is one of the many that’s part of Sprints ongoing LTE rollout (or will be soon), then the network’s just announced three tri-band mobile broadband devices for your consideration. The hope, it seems, is that as different parts of Sprint’s LTE spectrum become available (including spectrum from Clearwire), coverage and network performance of the devices will improve. The hardware offerings are Novatel’s MiFi 500 LTE, the Netgear Zing Mobile Hotspot and 341U USB dongle, and are slated to be available by summer. No confirmed availability dates or prices just yet. Sprint also hints at tri-band LTE phones from Samsung and LG to follow. In the meantime, however, you’d better get set up with your Data Link and Static IP.

This is a short video of a Swiss Airbus A340 landing at the Zurich airport in heavy fog. Which, as far as fog goes, is probably airplane pilots’ least favorite kind. Me? It’s my favorite because it makes sneaking around the neighborhood playing ninja assassin easier.

Thanks to the lights illuminating the fog, you can see clearly the downwash, ground effect, and the wingtip vorticies in action.

I have no idea what that meant, but I will let you in on a little secret: you know what the black box in airplanes is really for? To hold the magician that makes the airplane fly captive. Haha, the truth is out, FAA! You know how they say no electronics during takeoff? That’s because it screws with the anti-gravity field he’s generating in there. This is all fact by the way, it’s just kept secret to keep ticket prices high.

Hit the jump for the video.

The $ 25 Model A Raspberry Pi has gone on sale in Asia, following its launch in Europe last month – suggesting a U.S. landing can’t be too far off for the most affordable of the Pi Foundation’s two low-cost microcomputers. One of the Foundation’s distributors, RS Components, said today it is now shipping the Model A Pi in Asia.

Speaking to TechCrunch at the end of last month, Raspberry Pi founder, Eben Upton, said the not-for-profit organisation had completed the paperwork required to kick off global sales of the Model A, adding that it and “hope[d] to be able to enable these within the next couple of weeks”.

The $ 25 Model A is the most affordable Pi in the Foundation’s microcomputing arsenal, a full ten dollars cheaper than the original Model B. To get the price down, the unit has half the RAM (256MB) of the second revision Model B, only one USB port and no Ethernet connection. It also consumes less power, making it suitable for remote battery-powered applications — although it can still support a ‘home media centre’ use-case too, according to the Foundation.

Asked about early sales of the Model A Pi at the end of February, Upton said: “Early indications are that we’ve been selling between 5,000 and 10,000 units per week across the two distributors: so, roughly a quarter of the sales rate of Model Bs.”

“It will be interesting to see whether these sales have displaced Model B sales, or have grown the market,” he added.

In January, Raspberry Pi passed the one million Model B sales mark — a far cry from the founders’ original estimates of a few thousand units. The Pi was conceived as a tool to get kids learning to code – but has also proved popular with big kids who like to tinker. And with Google.

As well as being used for powering DIY gadgets, the Pi has had plenty of software ported over to it — including classic first-person shooter Quake, block-building community game Minecraft – and for those who really want to relive the old days of computing: a DOS (PC) emulator, rpix86 (shown below running a benchmark):

By very early 2014, travelers might have the ability to make use of specific electronic devices in airplane mode throughout launch and landing, according to a New York Times report. The publication’s industry sources say that the Federal Aviation Administration might reveal more lenient electronics policies later this year, allowing travelers to use “checking out devices” throughout launch and landing– while it’s not clear which gadgets had certify, cellular phones would continue to be on the ban list. The FAA commissioned an industry team to research the issue of in-flight electronic devices use– the team, which includes representatives from Amazon, Boeing, the CEA, FCC, and others, will announce the outcomes of its research by July 31st.

The concern has support from vital legislators as well. Senator Claire McCaskill is calling the FAA out on its permission of aviators to use iPads in the cockpit and flight attendants to make use of devices of their own, while restricting passengers from reviewing books on e-readers– “A flying copy of ‘War and Peace’ is more unsafe than a Kindle,” she told the Times. And we ‘d have to agree. Until the FAA announces a policy revision, all of us have no option however to reluctantly comply with the ban, and with gadgets like Google Glass on the horizon, updated limitations can not come too quickly.
