Eye-Fi CEO slams SD Association’s eerily similar Wireless SD card standard, says his IP is being violated

Yuval Koren is not pleased. For those unaware, he’s the CEO of Eye-Fi , the company that has practically written the rules on embedding WiFi into SD cards . If you blinked last week, you probably missed the SD Association’s announcement that it had created a new Wireless LAN SD standard that would effectively give just about anyone the ability to add Eye-Fi abilities to their SD cards.

Yikes. Quanta — also known as the planet’s largest contract maker of laptops — has just slapped a nasty lawsuit on the world’s second-largest chipmaker. According to Bloomberg , Quanta is alleging that AMD and ATI sold chips that “didn’t meet heat tolerances and were unfit for particular purposes.” Those chips were then used in NEC-labeled machines, and caused them to “malfunction” in some regard

Leaked memo details Verizon’s $2 fee for paying your bill; autodraft the only way out

A couple of years back, AT&T offered select customers a $25 prepaid MasterCard to switch their billing over to autodraft. Soon, Verizon Wireless will be following Sprint’s footsteps and charging you for every month that you aren’t using that very system.

Verizon sidesteps Galaxy Nexus antennagate, claims signal indicator is to blame

Ahmet — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:11:00 +0000

This is just hilarious. Remember when Verizon Wireless stated rather unequivocally that its Galaxy Nexus suffered from a ” signal strength issue ” and that a fix was coming

Thanks to iOS 5, some users lose WiFi connectivity

Ahmet — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:32:00 +0000

Of all the enhancements to discover in Apple’s iOS 5 upgrade, it seems that an unforeseen monster may have snuck its way into the release. We’re now reading through a handful of user complaints about losing WiFi after taking the plunge, with most replies mentioning intermittent connectivity and / or a significant loss in signal strength. The issue remains unconfirmed by Apple, but it appears to span across a number of devices, including the iPhone 4S, 4 and 3GS, along with the iPad (and possibly, the iPod Touch). By troubleshooting, one user was able to resolve the problem by reverting to iOS 4.3, then cause it to manifest — once again — by upgrading to iOS 5. The recent iOS 5.0.1 update certainly hasn’t fixed the matter, either. Could these reports be an unfortunate series of unrelated events, or is there something larger at play? Sound off about your experience with WiFi and iOS 5 in the comments below.

[Thanks, Iain]
