New iPad Battery Life

The new iPad has the same battery life as the iPad 2. This may strike some as peculiar because the iPad 3 has a new more highly-powered battery. However, although the battery does carry more juice, this is offset by the new features of the iPad 3 which require more power, for example the high-definition Retina display and the 4G connectivity. That said, the new iPad battery life is still perfectly reasonable and is suitable both for casual at-home use [...]

Hell Yes! You Can Gchat in Outlook Soon

Here's some good, good news. Microsoft is adding Google Talk (which all of you just call Gchat) support to Outlook.com. Meaning, you can use Google's chat service right through Microsoft's beautiful new(ish) webmail page. Awesome.

The addition of Google Talk to Outlook is welcome news, since until now, Microsoft had been resistant to adding chat partners beyond Facebook and its own Messenger protocol (which recently brought Skype into the fold). It had been a big hindrance to Microsoft's efforts to integrate all your communication into unified hubs. Hopefully, this means Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 won't be far behind with picking up Google Talk (Blue is just around the corner for both, after all), which would be a big step forward to finally getting chat right.

For Google, the announcement comes just ahead of Google I/O, where it's expected to roll out a new communication initiative called Babel. Babel will reportedly bring all communication from Google (Talk, Hangouts, etc.) under one roof, and if it's partnering up with Microsoft on this, hey, maybe it'll go the extra mile in bring in outsiders like Messenger, Skype, and even standbys like AIM.

For now, those of you using Outlook get a shiny new chat service (rolling out this week). But for the rest of us, this could be the start of something pretty great. [Verge]

Soyuz Capsule Returns Chris Hadfield and Crew Safely Back to Earth

After inspiring all of us on Earth, Commander Chris Hadfield and crew have finally re-joined us here. The Soyuz space capsule landed safely at 10:31 PM EDT in Kazakhstan. Hadfield had spent 144 days on the ISS, 2,336 orbits around the planet and totaled up around 62 million miles. That's a lot of miles!

The Soyuz capsule landed vertically, which is the preferred position. The crew, which includes Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield, NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn and Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko, are back on Earth and reportedly all feeling good as they re-adjust to the gravity. Marshburn was one of the astronauts who performed the awe-inspiring emergency spacewalk to fix the leak of ammonia coolant two days ago.

The landing of the capsule comes a little over three hours since the capsule undocked from the ISS. It marks the end of the ISS' Expedition 35 Crew in space. The crew will head over to the medical tent to get all properly tested and fixed for normal Earth life. Or as normal life can be in the eyes of men who were in space.

High-Tech Plot Leads to Record-Breaking Heist

In what is believed to be one of the biggest robberies ever executed, cyberthieves stole nearly $50 million from a pair of Middle Eastern banks. Far from bullying their way into vaults, members of this crime ring reportedly hacked into credit card processing firms and withdrew money from ATMs in 27 different countries.

T-Mobile US raises down payment price of iPhone 5 to $149 very, very quietly

T-Mobile US raises down payment price of iPhone 5 to 49 very, very quietly

T-Mobile US has quietly raised the minimum down payment on the iPhone 5 from $99 to $149. When announcing iPhone availability at the end of March, little a word said about the fact that the initial $99 price tag for the 16GB iPhone 5 was a limited time promotional offer. According to TmoNews, this increase also impacts the 32GB and 64GB models.

The iPhone 5 with eligible plan now increases from $579 to $629 as your total overall payment over 24 months. The 32GB and 64GB models don?t escape the price increase either as they move to $249 and $349 down payments respectively. That?s a $50 increase in the net down payment across the board leading to a $50 increase in the total cost over the life of the plan to $729 and $529

While this is still the lowest upfront price of any of the carriers, if feels slightly deceptive. T-Mobile didn?t really talk about this at all during their announcement, and potential customers, still on other carriers and waiting for their contracts to run out, will undoubtedly be slightly disappointed. On that note, if you?re look to switch before your current contract runs out, T-Mobile?s iPhone trade-in program is still in full swing.

Ubuntu Strikes Out on Its Own Again

If Canonical has shown anything over the past few years, it's that it's not afraid of doing things differently. Ever since the arrival of Unity in Ubuntu 10.10's netbook edition back in 2010, it's been clear the company is "marching to the beat of its own drum," as they say, with a growing focus on mobile and convergence. Well, last week brought yet another example of Canonical's independent-mindedness.

A Front-Loading Toolbox Means You'll Never Dig for Buried Pliers Again

Can the iconic red metal toolbox ever really be improved? One would assume it was too timeless a design to mess with, but Best Made has come up with a brilliant way to make them even better. Instead of having to empty its contents to reach a tool buried at the bottom, this revamped design features a front-loading trap door providing easy access to the toolbox's contents.
