- Samsung Galaxy Mega coming to MetroPCS on November 25th, for $399 at launch
Samsung’s other behemoth of a smartphone, the Galaxy Mega, is most definitely not one of the newest on the block. Still, we can’t imagine why MetroPCS users would complain about having yet another Android device to choose from. Starting November 25th, the carrier is making the 6.3-inch handset available on its network, complete with LTE support (where available) and a $399 price tag at launch. It’s worth mentioning that the MSRP is actually $499, but in the spirit of the holidays, MetroPCS is marking it at $100 less to kick things off — new customers, meanwhile, can get it for as low as $349. You’ll be able to snag one for yourself online or from the nearest brick-and-mortar store — if big, really big smartphones are your thing, that is.Filed under: Cellphones, Mobile, Samsung

- Minecraft's Twitch livestreaming arrives on Windows and Mac, documents block-by-block world building
A few weeks back, Mojang and Twitch announced plans to bring world-building livestream abilities to Minecraft. Now, that feature is live. Once players link their respective Mojang and Twitch accounts the fun can begin through the settings menu or by tapping F6 to start capturing the action immediately. The new functionality is supported on both Windows (XP and later) and Mac OS X (10.7 or later) for showing off those more elaborate construction skills — like building out the rest of Europe or some such.

- Pinterest intros Place Pins so you can map out all the places you'll go
Pinterest doesn’t want to just be the place you hoard random internet goodies, or aspirational items for hobby boards — it wants to become a real social tool. And it’s doing that today with Place Pins: private or collaborative travel maps highlighting local places of interest and recommendations. If it sounds like Foursquare without the obnoxious check-ins and “Mayor of…” notifications, that’s because it is — the company’s API is powering these pins. Maps loaded up with recommendations for good eats and sights to see can be created in tandem with new boards or added to existing ones and feature all the necessary contact info, like address and phone number, you want when looking up where to go. Pinterest’s even set up a feed dedicated to Place Pins(piration) and curated by notable travel outfits like Condé Nast Traveler, Airbnb, Fodor’s and others, so you can get a sense of how it works. It’s pretty simple, but useful stuff. Now, all you need is a good cluster of jet set friends to get the recommendations rolling and maybe some cash to actually get you out of Podunk and into those real-world, pinned places.
