T-Mobile turns to customers to improve its network  T-Mobile (TMUS) is taking an unusual approach to improving capacity on its phone network, announcing on Monday that customers can get their own mini-wireless broadcast tower. Dubbed the 4G LTE CellSpot, T-Mobile's small plastic box plugs into a customer's home Internet connection and provides up to 16 nearby devices with full T-Mobile wireless signal, including the fastest LTE format. T-Mobile said the Cellspot would be free with a $25 deposit to customers on its Simple Choice plans. Wireless carriers have been experimenting with adding many more, smaller transmission points to relieve some of the congestion on their networks as iPhone-happy teens uploading ever more videos to Snapchat and their ilk threaten to overwhelm the capacity of the existing system. Some analysts think adding numerous smaller cells, called femtocells in the industry, could be a cheaper and more efficient way to expand capacity than building more...

Blowing into this gadget could help asthma sufferers recognize the signs of an attack According to the team behind this interesting new Indiegogo campaign, nearly every death, ER visit, or hospitalization in the U.S. due to asthma is preventable. Because it can be difficult for sufferers to recognize the signs of an impending attack, an early warning system that could be carried around each day was needed. Thus they came up with Wing, a sensor that links up with a companion app on your phone to help manage and understand what asthma is doing to your body. By blowing into the Wing sensor, it measures how much air you can blow in a single second, and how fast it flows, the results of which give a picture of how your lungs are working. The app presents the data in a simple to understand traffic light system, helping asthma sufferers understand if they’re in danger of having an attack.

The company didn’t go into specifics on the plan, but did say there will be “dozens” of brand new Chromebooks in 2016. Update: 10/30/2015 8:23AM: Hiroshi Lockheimer, the Senior Vice President of Android, Chromecast and Chrome OS, has released a short statement on Twitter. While being “committed” to the platform sounds good, it does notably skirt a denial of The Wall Street Journal’s. Google might be committed — until 2017, when it’s not. or being committed could mean, as the report suggests, Google is committed to the idea of low-cost notebooks — but they’ll soon be running a version of Android, rather than Chrome OS. Original Text: ChromeOS has been a success in many respects. Whi...

PlayStation 4: Sony not to offer backwards compatibility   Backwards compatibility is one of the major upcoming features on Microsoft's Xbox One. But Sony is sticking to its guns and will not offer anything similar to users of PlayStation 4. The company is not in development to offer backwards compatibility, instead preferring to focus on new games. Jim Ryan, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's president and CEO, in an interview with video game-centric site Eurogamer, said backwards compatibility "is a feature that's not used that much". Ryan's response is similar to a previous statement by Sony Computer Entertainment World Wide Studios chief Shuhei Yoshida and shows the company's rigidity on the subject. "It was very interesting to look at that montage of the various Tekkens, and seeing how those things have evolved over the years. The first one, which I loved, looks prehistoric. The next generation comes along, and people just jump at it,...
