The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Sprint is planning on moving away from minute rate plans to gigabyte rate plans within the next two years.

Now, what I first hear about America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking, I thought that it was just another one of those cooking games like Cooking Mama which frankly would have been crazy. I mean, can you see a little Christopher Kimball running around taste testing things, or explaining beef cuts in a video game? TV, sure, but not in a video game.

It turns your DS into a kind of kitchen computer, as it were. You can select an ingredient, and it’ll show you all the recipes that contain that ingredient. Pick a recipe, and it’ll give you the full details. If you already have a Nintendo DS, and like America’s Test Kitchen, this is worth looking at!

A Purdue University researcher is working on an oven that can deep fry foods without an oil fryer.

That chip in the case of my iFrog case I bought at the AT&T store appeared not to long after getting the case. The same thing happened to my wife’s case. I’m very disappointed in the quality.

I brought a Casecrown case, same color, and so far I’ve been happy with it. I won’t be buying from iFrog again.

My first reaction to Google Buzz:

Ok, so it integrates with Gmail. Did it ever occur to anyone at Google that it might just expose a lot of e-mail addresses to spammers? And that not everyone you follow on places like Twitter (or that want to follow you) on Twitter are people that you want to have your e-mail?

Or that people that you MUST exchange e-mail with aren’t necessarily people you want snooping your social network?

IGN has a review of the new Star Trek MMO. It’s PC only.

Sometimes someone trying to do some good on the freeway actually succeeds.

The Consumerist is reporting that DirecTV is about to hike prices.

The thing I’m hoping for? That DirecTV and TiVo will finally announced availability of their new DVR at CES this week.

Oh, and companies – Quit it with the upper and lowercase in your company names. It’s annoying.
