Video - At&t 3G vs. Sprint 4G Speed Test
There’s been a lot of talk of this “new” 4G network that Sprint has been promoting on every single commercial they run nowadays, but is it really special enough to make you dump your precious iPhone?
Chris Pirillo pits the iPhone 4 on At&t’s 3G network and HTC’s EVO on Sprint’s 4G head to head in a speed test that may or may not surprise you, depending on who you are that is. So is the world’s first 4G network the rightful successor to 3G? How about we find out! (Results may vary)

iPhone icons made using only CSS3
This is when stuff starts to get freaky - what you are seeing is nothing but CSS. No images we’re used and no Javascript trickery was used, this is 100% pure CSS3 awesomeness created by Louis Harboe on Dribbble.
There is a live preview of the icons (Requires Safari 5 or Chrome) over at Louis’s blog. Prepare for intense mind blowing…

Microsoft: Milo a Tech Demo - No Plans to Release it as a Game
The only reason why anyway gave two y’know whats about Kinect, formerly known as Project Natal, was because of that unbelievable demonstration of man meeting machine for the first time at last year’s E3 - and no, Seaman doesn’t count.

Well, it now appears that that day will never come… thank God. Microsoft’s Aaron Greensburg explains

Move over EVO 4G, the Samsung Epic 4G is coming to town
Just when you thought America’s only 4G network couldn’t get better, it goes and one-ups-itself with Samsung’s latest offering. What you’re looking at here is the Samsung Epic 4G — and on paper it plans on giving you a mild cardiac infarction. Running Samsung’s very own “touch-wizzed” iteration of Android 2.1 with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a full landscape QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p video recording, a front facing VGA video-chat capable camera, 802.11n WiFi, six-axis accelerometer, and a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU. There’s also the expected EV-DO Rev. A and WiMAX bands for all your frivolous connectivity needs. In the meantime there’s no confirmed release date or price, so as Sprint said, just expect it “in the coming months.”

The previous record was held by the 3GS (not surprisingly) at 1 Million units over the weekend. This pretty much dwarfs any other smartphone launch in history, and puts Apple at the very top once again.

Diggnation as we know it will end December 2010
It was announced on This Week in Tech episode 254 by Kevin himself that Diggnation would end, and I imagine that fans everywhere are slamming their fists on their keyboards, with tears streaming down their faces. Kevin and Alex sat down about a month ago and discussed the future of Diggnation and admittedly, they are tired of traveling and understandably trying to manage their own lives and move on to better things…
