It was never quite certain when Verizon would get its hands on the iPhone, but we recently learned that it would on February 10. The only question remaining was how much the plans were going to be to have the iPhone. Now we have that answer too: $30 per month. But the news here is that this pricing will be for unlimited data, which could prove that — while two iPhones are better than one — two iPhones are somewhat different from each other. AT&T’s data pricing per month for DataPlus and DataPro is currently 200MB for $15 and 2GB for $25, respectively. The plans are more aggressively priced, but…

I’m not going to claim how this could possibly work, but a fellow by the name Ben Alun-Jones has created a chair that defies both eye and imagination, which your derriere will be sure to enjoy. From a distance there is a blending of materials, which wouldn’t normally catch the eye, but up close, an object appears, revealing something not seen before. The Affinity chair was simply an attempt to be creative with art and furniture, but it has turned into an art project of the future. The creator explains it far better than I can: Born out of an attempt at the impossible, the Affinity chair explores our relationship…

It would seem that there is no lack of creativity and imagination on the Web these days, especially when it comes to video. Mateusz Zdziebko shows why with a video he created taking everyday objects that you might find in your room and creating a whole musical assembly with them. He even created a video to go along with it. And while the idea isn’t particularly original, the result is still awesome. Check out “Sampled Room” and let us know what you think. …

The application is intellectual, but the results are truly stunning. Christopher Warnow has demonstrated a technique of procedurally painting light onto a scene by using a projector, distance sensor, and long-exposure camera. What you get is something that looks very cool and futuristic. It works by utilizing the distance sensor to change the image that is being projected on the fly, and that, in turn, is rendered visible by the camera. It is almost exactly like a holographic animation that is captured with the long-exposed camera. At least, that is how I think it works. Regardless, the end…

Welcome to the United States of America, where mobile service providers continue to rape our wallets whenever they get the chance. The latest perpetrator is Sprint, who — on top of charging an extra 10 dollars for 4G access to improve the network — has decided that everyone should be charged an access fee of an extra $10 dollars for “premium” 3G access. Now I’m not going to claim to understand how these mobile carriers can be making millions of dollars, yet I can’t receive but a signal from one of these carriers (Verizon) where I live; however, I do know that if these costs are rising when the networking…

This is either incredibly cool or unbelievably weird, but a website at Tweet-Rings.com is offering to take any Tweet and engrave it onto a stainless steel ring. Why? Who knows. But it sounds like a novel (or crazy) idea, for sure. I’m sure someone will be willing to pay to keep that perfect Tweet forever….

I thought the only time I would ever feel seasick is while actually out at sea, but maybe I can experience that feeling again if I purchase a Nintendo 3DS. According to reports from a magazine called Friday, the handheld 3D gaming device is actually making a few users feel sick from use. This isn’t too uncommon to hear a new gaming system making people sick. The Nintendo Wii seemed to put enough people in the hospital, after all. However, this is different because the Nintendo 3DS is projecting 3D images to users eyes for a prolonged time. It might just be users adjusting to the 3D images, but this has also…

You might think that 2011 will be all about how the amazing the iPad 2 or iPhone 5 will be. However, this is nothing compared to what Hollywood has in store for all of us. The big movie studios are making great strides towards providing consumers with more access to movies and television shows than ever before, and they might actually pull it off this time around. But there is a catch. Ever since the creation of the Internet, the movie studios have been more determined than ever to prevent illegal sharing of their content over the Web. They have gone to extremes — convincing governments to shut down…

The iPhone is getting all the attention today, so why not feature yet another product that could eventually lead to the iPhone being more flexible than ever before. This one is a stand, but it isn’t what you would expect. Vyne, which is a concept design, is an iPhone stand that proves its worth not only in its flexibility but also with its functionality. You can use it as a simple desk stand or you could wrap it around your neck and have it hold your iPhone in front of your face for maximum distraction while walking. It utilizes a plastic connector to connect the hold the iPhone in place while it is attached…

I know that if there is one thing you want to have with your iPhone 4, be it whether you already have one or intend on getting one, it would have to be a killer case. Well guess what, I think I have just found it. It’s called the BrickCase by SmallWorks, and it is surely going to give any LEGO enthusiast a heart attack. While they don’t look particularly comfortable by any stretch of the imagination, they do look cool. They are iPhone 4 cases built to look like LEGO blocks, and that they most certainly do. SmallWorks currently offers three different versions of the cases, and they are all immediately available…
