Update: A source close to Microsoft tells me the software – which is not yet complete – will be used only by public sector agencies. No information was provided as to how the software differs from the standard Chinese version of Windows 10. While Apple has strongly resisted building a special ‘GovtOS’ to provide the U.S. government with access to iOS devices, it appears that Microsoft has no such qualms. TechInAsia reports that Microsoft has created a special version of Windows 10 for China, called Windows 10 Zhuangongban, which includes “more management and security controls....

One of the advantages of AT&T’s GSM iPhones (and iPads) is that they can roam just about anywhere in the world fairly easily. For that convenience, AT&T charges a hefty – some would say exorbitant – fee (illustrated above, left). Today, AT&T has announced a significant (2.5-5x) drop in international fees. You get 2.5 times the data for $25 which is now set at 50MB. At the high end, you get 4x the data, 800MB, for $200....

2016 will be known as the year virtual reality (VR) made the leap from sci-fi fantasy to mainstream consumer product. While many tech industry pundits agree that VR is the future, there is no consensus on exactly how the consumer market will adopt VR. Whether VR is best suited for gaming, home theatre experiences, or communications, the first step towards winning over consumers is getting devices into the hands of the public, and AMC Theaters will be doing just that to promote the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed ....
Update: AT&T seemed none-too-pleased with the allegations and gave us the following statement: [tweet https://twitter.com/leewalker10/status/230703524634300416] We heard reports in the past that retail employees at other carriers were instructed by higher-ups to push Android and other alternative smartphone options to customers interested in the iPhone.

Although iPhone activations made up roughly 73 percent of smartphones in AT&T’s Q2 report, the initiative has apparently been confirmed by three independent sources:...

Adapted from the William Goldman novel of the same name by Goldman himself, The Princess Bride is one of the greatest family comedies ever made. It was Shrek before there was Shrek. With its self-aware storyline and framing narrative starring Peter Falk and Fred Savage, The Princess Bride is a movie like no other: an early example of a meta Hollywood movie....

The character quickly became a fan favorite, and Theron was offered a lot more action roles....
