HEX Releases Watch Band for iPod Nano Gen 6

Real Life Frogger Goes Ever So Slightly Bad
If you know anything about the history of video games, you know about one of the most maddeningly addictive action puzzle games of all time: Frogger. What you might not know is that this sort of game has been played by real people more than once - most recently just a couple of days ago in South Carolina by a man and his friends. He didn't exactly get crunched, but he didn't really make it all the way across, either, getting hit by a Lexus SUV on his way across.

Their respective games (or terrible lapses in judgement) went way better (or funnier, at least.)

Verizon Demoing Home Monitoring and Control System at CES
Jarvis, a cup of tea please? Certainly sir. Verizon will be dipping their fingers in the home automation cup, demoing a brand new Home Monitoring and Control System next week at CES. This system will be totally sweet, just like in the movies, allowing users to view security cameras, lock doors, and control lights, thermostats, and appliances via their FiOS TV boxes or their smartphones. This sort of thing isn't brand new, but when you take something that works and add a big name brand behind it, well, great things happen (at least for profits.)

Sony Sues LG for Mysterious Reasons
A mystery to anyone other than Sony and LG, anyway. While the lawsuit was filed on Tuesday, it seems that the majority of pertinent details aren't being outlined quite yet. It is known that Sony is specifically targeting LG Electronics Mobilecomm USA inc., as well as LG Electronics USA Inc. The lawsuit could touch on many things, but considering LG Electronics Mobilecomm's marketing for cellphones, accessories, and 3G notebooks, we can imagine that it has something to do with that, in one fashion or another.

Archos has just pulled the official curtain off the company's latest Android-based Internet tablet.

Windows Phone 7 DRM for Apps Cracked with Proof of Concept Program [Video]
Security is an important aspect of anything that gets used by anyone, at any given moment around the world. For developers of applications that get purchased through a digital storefront, like Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 Marketplace, making sure that it's not easy, next to impossible in fact, to steal apps and put them on a device free-of-charge is just as important. But, as WPCentral reports, it looks like the Digital Rights Management (DRM) security tools set in place by Microsoft have been cracked.

Apple’s iTunes Rental Service is Roughly One Tenth the Size of Netflix, Analyst Says

Or, perhaps how they don't compare. He published his note on Wednesday, pointing out sheer numbers in his comparison between the two services. Considering how popular Netflix is, and the fact that the company is now eyeing the possibility of an international roll-out of its services, perhaps the results aren't too shocking.

Micro-USB Formally Chosen as Cellphone Charger Standard by European Standardization Bodies
At the end of June, in 2009, the European Commission started a movement to make micro-USB the standardized charging port for cellphones. It was subsequently backed by roughly 90% of the cellphone market holders, with Apple, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Samsung (among others) all agreeing to the standardization.
