Can’t log into Twitter? Neither can we. Apparently those who used Twitter or Facebook Connect to sign into their Gawker accounts (Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Gawker, Kotaku, etc.) may have had their passwords compromised during the hack on Gawker.com late Sunday afternoon. It’s recommended you change your passwords ASAP, even if you haven’t been affected as well — More details after the break!
Still anxiously awaiting that UPS truck to arrive at your front door? Here’s a little tip that will alleviate you … somewhat. @kmobs has uncovered a list containing the first 50,000 zip codes in the third shipment of Cr-48’s. While this is not the final shipment, at least you’ll know how soon you’re getting your new Chrome laptop. Did your area code show up? We know ours didn’t!
EasyDNS now has wikileaks.org back up. thanks to members of the Wikileaks team.

As of today it points to the Wikileaks mirror page where all of it’s documents were originally hosted and maintained.
So you take the HTC G2 / Desire Z, remove the front the facing camera, slap a Sprint logo on it, throw in a 4G chipset, and what do you get? Well, you get Sprint’s latest leaked handset… the HTC EVO Shift 4G. Unlike its brethren, the Shift appears to not feature a front facing camera — a nice feature to have, but not entirely necessary. Instead, should this handset come to market you’ll be able to browse the web at 4G speeds and type up a storm on its landscape QWERTY keyboard. No price point or launch date’s been mentioned, however, with Christmas less than a fortnight away, Sprint would be clever to launch this sucker soon.
What your seeing is a projectile flying out of a cannon at Mach 7 (4620 Mph / 7435 kph) with near pinpoint accuracy up to 100 miles away. Yes, this is a Railgun and it will blow your mind (start watching at 1:30) — but even though this is fancy and all, we want to know… will it blend?
You’re all hopefully familiar with Motorola’s Honeycomb equipped tablet courtesy of Andy Rubin at the D: Dive into Mobile conference, but now our pals over at Engadget have managed to scoop several photos showing it off in all its beauty. And might we say, some of those early rumours appear to have panned out. That’s right, Motorola’s 10-inch Honeycomb tablet will be pitching for Big Red (aka Verizon) and sports a front facing camera, you know, for those inevitable video chats that your current iPad can’t perform. More after the break!
Most were thoroughly impressed with Verizon’s speedy LTE network, however as is the case with new tech there were a few issues — specifically, handing off from an EVDO connection to an LTE one, and the lack of Mac support. Talking with Computerworld earlier today, Verizon stated that they’re currently in the process of remedying both issues and an update should hit “relatively soon.” More after the break!
