Amazon Unloads AT&T Phones for a Penny

The crazy retail deals are still going strong today here in the U.S. During my daily check of Amazon for the MP3 special of the day, I noticed the e-tailer is offering any AT&T phone for a penny today. There’s also no activation fee, which saves $36 — personally, I think the fee should go away from the entire industry, but that’s another matter. As expected, you’ll need a new two-year service account for the deal, which expires at the end of the day. That means existing AT&T customersSource: jkOnTheRun RSS Feed

Return to Alderaan in Star Wars: The Old Republic

Bioware has revealed the planet of Alderaan will be one of the environments for players to explore in the upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic. Before it was reduced to an asteroid field by the Death Star, Alderaan was a planet known for its natural beauty and peace. Thankfully, a bloody civil war begins, giving gamers plenty of stuff to viciously click on.
Honestly, while we're excited to see the planet again, we also can't help but be a little sad. Like watching the movieSource: Houstonist RSS Feed

Macs Reduced by $100 to $200 at Best Buy

It’s fairly difficult to find a sale on Apple notebooks on desktops. Apple rarely discounts their computing line and online resellers usually require a rebate if and when they offer a worthwhile discount. But last year, I took advantage of a preemptive Black Friday sale at Best Buy — that’s when I picked up my unibody 13″ MacBook with a $150 discount over Apple’s pricing. There was no rebate and I walked out of the store with MacBook in hand.

As usual, we're not spotting any major steals that'd be worth lining up a dozen hours in advance for, but the $78 Blu-ray player and $10 BD films from Wally World may be worth paying your neighbor to snag for you. Check 'em all out below... if you dare.

Flurry launches AppCircle to help apps get discovered

With 100,000 apps in Apple’s AppStore, it has become ridiculously hard to get an app discovered. At any given time, perhaps 100 apps are easy to find on the featured apps or top apps lists. That’s why analytics startup Flurry is launching a new platform, AppCircle, whose aim is to get iPhone and iPod Touch apps noticed.

The platform is a natural extension of the analytics business that has become very popular. With AppCircle, Flurry can offer something valuable to developers. And,Source: VentureBeat RSS Feed
