Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
  • Even though its handheld 3DS is making the move extra-dimensional move, Nintendo reportedly plans to bypass 3-D technology with the next Wii incarnation, primarily because of a purported lack of consumer demand. [From: Ubergizmo]
  • Facing three years in prison and $250,000 in fines, Kevin Cogill -- the 'Chinese Democracy' uploader -- agreed to instead provide a PSA for the recording industry. Apparently, the man managed to out wait the Man because "the deal is no longer legally binding," even though Cogill did provide an expletive-laden "right in the butt" warning worthy of Andrew Dice Clay. [From: Wired]
  • The MyFord Touch technical upgrades, set to appear on Ford's 2011 cars, will reportedly boost SYNC's vocabulary to an impressive 10,000 commands. [From: Engadget]
  • According to a recent Marist College survey, half of all social networkers harbor concerns about online privacy issues. So, the survey basically means that half of all social networkers are actually oblivious and need to worry about privacy issues. [From: Reuters]
  • The June video game numbers are out, and -- even though most stats maintained a steady decline -- overall hardware sales slightly increased, while the long-awaited 'Red Dead Redemption' became 2010's best selling game. [From: Game Spot]
