In the United States, there are several big-name companies vying for your business, and in recent years, T-Mobile has really shaken things up by offering devices and plans that undercut many of the longer-serving network operators. Today, T-Mobile has launched a fleet of prepaid data plans that will roll out later this month, including some impressive, unlimited deals at bargain rates.
For well over a decade, the motion picture industry has been fighting a somewhat losing battle against piracy, but in recent times, there have been some crumbs of comfort. Netflix, for example, is a subscription package used by millions of consumers worldwide, and although the major studios don't recoup as much as they used to from, say, DVD sales, the likes of Netflix are still more desirable than people downloading illegally. Now, one former Wall Street analyst has developed a new service that essentially allows users to "borrow" digital copies of movies from their friends, and whilst Hollywood has yet to hop aboard, it does seem that the creator has taken the necessary steps to ensure the service's legality.
The Pirate Bay has long been among the most-used and well-known public torrent trackers around, and is revered by torrenters far and wide for its defiance in the face of umpteen warnings, court hearings and cease-and-desist letters. In fact, TPB has continually made mockery of such correspondence from a range of high profile entertainment companies, as well as the numerous bodies that represent them, by publicly displaying the back-and-forth emails filled with plenty of choice language. But having been recently shut down - not for the first time, I might add - TPB has been teasing a new landing page on its site alluding to a big announcement for February 1st, and as suspected, it looks as though the first of next month will play host to its latest rebirth.

Just as you would expect, you need not pay a penny in order to enjoy any of them.

Christmas is always a good time to shift goods online, whether that be as part of something like Black Friday madness or just the good old fashioned gift shopping. Christmas day itself is also a big shopping event with people getting gift cards or, our personal favorites, generic gift tokens in the form of cold hard cash.
Messenger, and instant messaging in general, seems to be the focal point of Facebook's recent endeavors. After the lofty purchase of WhatsApp - the most expensive mobile app ever created by some margin - the social company's own client has been the subject of frequent updates, and today, the Menlo Park firm is integrating its FacePile infrastructure into its chat service.
In a move that managed to raise many eyebrows, T-Mobile has thrown in an industry-challenging data rollover plan for its 4G LTE users. The initiative - Uncarrier 8.0 - is T-Mobile's attempt at shaking up the industry, and with the new 'Data Stash' feature which basically allows users to carry over unused data over to the next month's bucket, it looks well poised at doing so.
