iPhone 4 and 4S now available to purchase outright at Cricket for $399 and $499

iPhone 4 and 4S now available to purchase outright at Cricket for $399 and $499

There's nothing quite like the pent-up anticipation for an Apple product arrival, and yes, that extends even to customers of Cricket, who lined up this morning for their first chance to score an iPhone from the prepaid carrier. While both the iPhone 4 (8GB) and 4S (16GB) must be purchased outright -- for $399 and $499 respectively -- sales were said to be "brisk" today, which can be partially attributed to Cricket's $55 per month plan. For the monthly layout, customers can take advantage of unlimited calling, messaging and data, although they'll need to contend with throttling for any usage past 2.3GB. Next up, Virgin Mobile is similarly situated to receive the iPhone on June 29th. Think there'll be any lines?

Personal Activity Monitor tracks time you spend using desktop apps

personalactivitymonitor
Up until a couple of years ago, I used to turn to RescueTime to figure out how I spend my time online. Then it got too complex, and I stopped using it. Personal Activity Monitor is like a vastly dumbed-down version of RescueTime, and I mean that as a compliment. It's free and bare-bones -- all it does is track what applications you're using and for how long.

A big drawback at this point is that it doesn't integrate with Web browsers to help you analyze how you spend your time on the Web. Still, if your work doesn't require constant Web app use, knowing how long you've used a browser overall might be enough to help you manage your time.

This is far from the only application in this space -- alternatives such as Slife and Chrometa are full-featured and impressive -- but PAM is good option for those who want a nice, simple tracker.

The new duo-screen system reportedly will be 90 percent larger than the previous version, with a 4.88-inch top display and 4.18-inch screen on the bottom.

The Win 8 RT version will run on an ARM processor, and the Windows 8 Pro version will have a third-generation Intel Core processor. The casing of Microsoft's Surface tablets is made from VaporMg, pronounced "Vapor-Mag."

iPhone 5: What's Up With the Dock?

When Apple's next iPhone hits the market, users may notice something different about the device -- something that so far hasn't changed in Apple's iPod/iPhone line for nearly a decade. The company will switch from the iPhone's current 30-pin port to a 19-pin port, according to TechCrunch.

Excalibur Almaz wants to offer the first private trip to the Moon -- provided you've got £100 million

Excalibur Almaz wants to offer the first private trip to the Moon  provided you've got 100 million

Sir Richard Branson might want to look over his shoulder, since Virgin Galactic now has an even more ambitious rival. Britain-based Excalibur Almaz is planning no less than a trip to the Moon using reworked, Soviet-era Salyut space stations and Soyuz capsules as the vehicles for the multi-stage, 500,000-mile total voyage. Accordingly, no one will be living in the lap of luxury on the way there: there's just two habitation modules that will take three people each, and the six-month trip isn't going to leave much room for perks other than an isolated room in the event of a solar radiation blast. Not that there's as much of a rush given the efforts involved in making this look-but-don't-touch Moon orbit a reality. Anyone who travels needs to be in tip-top shape -- and the £100 million ($156 million) ticket will make Virgin's Spaceship Two rides seem downright frugal. Be sure to pack your gym shorts and a briefcase full of cash.
