Juan Martin del Potro may have won the U.S. Open, but I am ignoring what happened on the court and declaring Rafael Nadal the real winner. That’s what happens when you are outed in the New York Post for having a flirtatious, late-night conversation with Shakira.

Theorize all you want, but your answer's right here. From the horse's mouth: "Keep in mind that for Verizon Wireless, it isn't so much about the device as it is about the delivery."
These are the words of a Verizon spokesperson, who is apparently comfortable acknowledging that Verizon's entire phone-choosing strategy is based on a false dilemma: That somehow, having a good network makes it impossible to have decent handsets, and vice-versa. But if having great coverage doesn't actually prevent Verizon from selling any of the smartphones that people actually want, how do they make it seem like it does?
It's easy, really! Just combine a strict, long handset testing process, extreme caution about new handset technologies, and a history of intrusively modifying both phone software and hardware to maintain obsessive control over its devices, and voila! Boredom. [Gadget Lab]
Wowza. Ivan Messer brings a new meaning to audiophile as he already spent five years tweaking and tuning his equipment to perfection. His $1.1 million in Richard Gray and McIntosh audio equipment that is.
I doubt that the picture can even convey just how much equipment, time, love and care the guy has put into things:
The current breakdown on his room has about $800,000 worth of McIntosh gear, which is predominantly source components, amplifiers and speakers. Then, there's about $125,000 on the video side. The rest is cosmetic-decorating, seating and woodwork. Then, he has maybe another $80,000 in just software, which includes 6,000 Blu-ray movies, CDs and DVDs.
The sad part though? "Ivan doesn't crank this system to 11-unless it's for a demo." Seems like a shame with a system like that. I could definitely think of songs to blast on it. [Electronic House via Boing Boing]
