The LED lightbulb holds the potential for faster Wi-Fi network speeds… which could also mean energy-savings as an added bonus (due to said bulbs potential to become ubiquitous).

It looks as though hubris and a case of poor-timing might have resulted in Apple’s iPhone 5C being a failure (in relative terms to the successes Cupertino’s enjoyed during the last 5 plus years of their run of seemingly one success after another…)

Internet-over-TV might sound like a big idea (for those in America) but this is (unfortunately) – yet another – example of where the nation lags behind (ride on a subway in a city like Tokyo and said service offering is essentially ubiquitous).
