People in New York don’t actually need cell phones, do they? Photo: Dariusz Sankowski/Pixabay
Have you heard the one about the phone encryption bill in New York that will fine retailers $2,500 for each cell phone they sell that can’t be decrypted?
That set-up is its own punchline. This bill is a terrible idea.

New York’s Times Square is about to get one of the world’s largest advertising video screen billboards — and Google is its debut customer.
The screen is an epic eight stories high, runs an entire block, and is made up of a mind-blowing 24 million pixels. According to reports, Google snapped up the ad space the moment it became available and paid for an exclusive, long-term deal. The search giant will take over the screen on November 24, with an as-yet unrevealed campaign that runs through the New Year.
It’s not currently known exactly how much Google shelled out, but according to the owners of the megascreen, ad space costs an enormous $2.5 million for four weeks, making this one of the most expensive outdoor ads in the world.
Today we’re bringing you the story of Mike Geller — a young tourist who, on Tuesday, visited New York City with his Google Glass unit in tow, but, unfortunately for him, it didn’t quite go according to plan.
AT&T has yet again broadened its horizons by upgrading and expanding its LTE connectivity services to another 9 new markets in the U.S. The announcement was made in a sequential series of press releases on the carrier’s website.
One of the first announcements that T-Mobile made at its New York press event yesterday was the availability of the Sony Xperia Z . The device will be on sale starting July 17, and is the exact same waterproof Xperia that launched in Europe and Japan earlier this year.
