Morning Extra: Cadillac Adds In-Car Wi-Fi, Gamestop Has Wiis (3.20.09)

by Tom Samiljan on March 20, 2009 at 11:57 AM


Because we can't always cover all the great news in depth, we here at Switched are starting a new AM feature, which recaps other important stories we may not have hit earlier in morning. Welcome to our inaugural edition of the Switched Morning Extra.

Cadillac Adds In-Car Wi-Fi
Starting in April, America's premier luxury car maker will offer high-speed 3G mobile Wi-Fi in its cars as a dealer-installed option for $499 (plus $29 a month for the Autonet Mobile service). From: Autoblog

Gamestop Says It Has Plenty of Wiis
Still looking for Nintendo's motion-sensitive gaming console? After experiencing months of stock shortages, the gaming retailer says it has enough Wiis for at least the next two weeks. From: Joystiq
New Door Is Embedded With 17-inch LCD Display
Korea's Elivision just showed off this latest implementation of a TV screen, which can display most types of video and images via USB. Ugh, it didn't work with refrigerator doors, so why would it work with a regular door? From: DVICE

Twitter Seriously Vulnerable to Viral Attack, Again
We have as much trouble keeping up with Twittter threats as we do with Twitter tweets, but nevertheless, this latest security flaw means you should think twice about clicking on Web links in tweets (what status updates are called on Twitter). The current exploit only broadcasts the phrase "I just got owned!" to all of your followers, but the very existence of the flaw shows just how vulnerable Twitter is. From: The Register

Microsoft CEO Ballmer Says We Pay $500 for Apple Logo
So what else is new? Macs have always been more expensive than PCs. As Engadget points out, however, the extra price also has something to do with the better design and less troublesome software that comes with your Mac (which, by the way, also runs Windows). From: Engadget
