MetroPCS board approves Deustche Telekom’s merger offer, urges shareholders to do the same

Fast payday loans For Every One

After delaying a ballot on T-Mobile’s final merger bid a few days ago, MetroPCS’ board of supervisors has voiced consentaneous approval and is motivating investors to vote indeed also. Deutsche Telekom’s offer would lower MetroPCS’ debt by $ 3.8 billion in addition to slash the rate of interest on that debt by half a point. These measures should increase both the carrier’s overall value and cash flow– hopefully that will help in developing out LTE more rapidly.

A new chip apparently being sped through development by Qualcomm, however, could solve these problems. In the filing, Qualcomm said its chip could be configured by manufacturers to work on a carrier’s normal band but roam on a different one. At the same time, it says there are “significant device…

U.S. Army urges vets to get outta their dreams and into the virtual world

You’ve heard of power walking, but “power dreaming?” That practice’s usually the stuff of Buddhism, and now, could go a long way towards mending the psychic wounds of our nation’s bravest. With about 52% of PTSD-affected veterans reported as having disturbing nightmares, the U.S. Army’s working towards a virtual solution that’d marry the design of Second Life with laptop-displayed or 3D head-mounted, physio-emotional healing. The project, a form of biofeedback therapy which would create custom, stress-alleviating imagery for traumatized vets, is currently in the planning stage with Washington State’s Naval Hospital serving as its experimental base. Over half a million in funding’s already been put towards the effort which is expected to launch in full next year. And when it does, we’re hoping the tech resembles a certain Strange Days SQUID recorder — with happy thoughts, o’course.
