3D shows no sign of going away, with more 3D TVs arriving by the day, and soon our smartphones will also pack an extra 'D'. The first to hit US shores will be the LG Optimus 3D, or Thrill 4G if you prefer the name AT&T have given it.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
While Facebook's iPhone app has certainly improved lately, it's still far from the smooth, slick experience we iPhone users are so used to these days. Unfortunately, it's the only real way to upload photos to Facebook from an iPhone, but if you're a jailbreaker there's a new tweak that's going to rock your world. Enter, FBUploader.
Remember when we told you how CNET had gotten hold of IRC logs that they claimed showed people planning to attack Sony's servers once more? Now the website is claiming Sony actually managed to thwart the would-be hackers, and it's all thanks to them.
It may be nearly two years old, but there's life in the old iPhone 3GS yet and, as reported by AppleInsider, the veteran handset is still outselling some newer Android handsets.
We've all been there. Apple releases a new version of iOS, you wait for the jailbreak to become available and you update. The problem now though is you're left facing the long and tedious task of getting your iPhone back to just the way you like it. After a good while becoming intimately acquainted with Cydia and a lot of restarts later you're done. But chances are you've forgotten something and you'll be doing the Cydia shuffle again.
If you're a big Facebook user, chances are you've run into the odd occasion when you've posted an update that apparently nobody saw. It's like you've been cut off from your friends, and while they thought you'd fallen off the face of the planet you'd actually been waxing lyrical with nobody to read it. If it's happened to you, BookMarketingMaven knows how to fix it.
Charts handed out by Sony at one of its press conferences to explain the PSN state of play show how the company thinks its gaming network was hacked into, as well as giving a list showing the number of users from each region who's data may have been compromised.
If you cast your minds back a couple of months, you'll remember how we told you that AT&T had begun clamping down on people using tethering on their iPhones without paying for the upgraded tethering plan. Emails and SMS messages were sent informing customers that if they continued to tether they would be charged for it. At the time we weren't sure how AT&T knew which people were actually tethering, but now we do and more importantly, we know how to get around it.
Chinese statistics company UMeng recently published a report on iOS usage in the country, and the standout stat is that fully 34.6% of iPhones are jailbroken.
The reason behind the delay of Apple's white iPhone 4 was always thought to be related to an issue making the white coloring work with a couple of key parts of the handset - particularly the proximity sensor. In a post on the NYTimes website, Nick Bilton has gotten hold of a first-run white handset and compared it with the new production models we can buy today.
