Our servers are under extreme loads right now (don’t hate us because we’re popular). Because of this, it may take longer than normal for pages to load. We’re working on it right now with our server managers…

Our Senseo is on its fourth cup so far, but we do have good news. We’ve fixed several bugs in our content management system (CMS) that prevented things such as some links not being formatted properly (driving you, the viewer, to a not-so-pleasant error page). Which, brings me to a rant on software [...]

The PCS Intel Knowledge Base has been updated to MediaWiki 1.6.6 today. This is mostly a security update, but also fixes some bugs.
We’ve also switched our “Best Viewed With…” promotion on the Knowledge Base to the Google Pack from Firefox. This is because the Pack includes Firefox as well as a lot of [...]

Normally Sprint would be at the end of the title, but I’ve had it with the “Sprint is getting beaten in the x, y, z business”. This week, x, y, and z all fall under the umbrella of Smart Devices.
To put it bluntly, you’re wrong if you think that.
We’ve run articles and articles about [...]

Fallout continues in the computer industry as Apple finally removes the last machine from their lineup that has a 56k modem built-in, the iBook. However, the lack of a modem is part of the bigger picture that Apple is pushing.
Every U.S. wireless provider now offers some affordable way to use your cell phone as [...]

If you haven���t already heard about Google Analytics�Ķ well, you don���t need to. We rolled out Google Analytics on all areas of PCS Intel in the wee hours of this morning. This enables us to understand you, the viewer, just a little bit better. We love statistics, and this lets us run [...]

Aside from breaking news on not one, but two Samsungs, the A900 and the M250, we’ve been burning a lot of midnight oil tweaking many things under-the-hood at PCS Intel. Unfortunately, the most you’ll see for the time being is a better front page. The long-requested feature of news-viewable-by-carrier is now at the [...]

We’re going to hash this out a bit further. Let’s say for a moment that you’re a project manager at a major car company. You have dozens and dozens of reports on your desk that the automatic window control sometimes sticks in rolling down the window (when it shouldn’t). You know that [...]

The media is abuzz over AT&T Wireless’ return. While we predicted this at CTIA 2003… we also covered it completely as it developed through this year. This opens a difficult question for us… are we compelled to cover news just because a large part, if not a majority of the mobile media is [...]

(Why is this on Sprint PCS Info? You wonder why we don’t have another PCS Intel Podcast out yet… don’t you?)
It seems that the whine of bad inverter and logic boards aren’t the only thing affecting MacBook Pros (not to mention thermal grease in mountains). AppleCare has a silent recall going on with [...]
