- AT&T CEO voices regret over iPhone unlimited data model
It’s always refreshing to hear the head of a major corporation cop to past mistakes — particularly in front of a large crowd of on-lookers. AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson admitted some misgivings about the way the carrier handled iPhone data, telling a crowd at the Milken Institute’s Global Conference in Los Angeles, “My only regret was how we introduced pricing in the beginning, because how did we introduce pricing? Thirty dollars and you get all you can eat.” Stephenson drove the point home by adding, “Every additional megabyte you use in this network, I have to invest capital.”
And, for the record, that certainly wasn’t the only thing about the iPhone that kept the exec up at night. Stephenson again,
You lie awake at night worrying about what is that which will disrupt your business model,” he said. “Apple iMessage is a classic example. If you’re using iMessage, you’re not using one of our messaging services, right?
No one ahead said it was easy being the chief.

- UC Berkeley freshman shows us his ridiculously automated dorm (video)
Besides beer pong, the whole point of going away to college is to blossom into an independent, motivated, self-sufficient adult. That is, of course, unless your dorm’s name is BRAD (Berkeley Ridiculously Automated Dorm), where freshmen Derek L. My controls devices all around his room without even getting out of bed. An app on his phone can adjust ambient lighting and curtain position depending on the situation. His laptop uses Dragon Dictate to turn shouts into tasks his pile of servos and motors can accomplish. Just saying “Romantic mode” makes a disco ball pop out of the ceiling and plays the epically passionate Elton John song, “Can You Feel The Love Tonight.” As if that wasn’t enough, the emergency “party mode” button located next to the bed activates a bunch of lasers and strobes, as well as fog and blacklights while a bumpin’ stereo system cranks out dance music. This dorm is clearly every college freshman’s dream. I mean, who wouldn’t want to wake up with Justin Bieber every morning? Check out the video after the break.

We now know a bit more about Samsung's upcoming Galaxy W2019 flip phone. The information comes courtesy of the TENAA.

So, they will be different phones after all - the Lenovo Z5 Pro, a quad camera flagship, launch after the Lenovo S5 Pro, which will be unveiled on October 18.
