Huawei’s Richard Yu is really pissed at US carriers
It was the 800-lb. gorilla for the duration of today’s Huawei CES keynote — will he, or won’t he? Richard Yu managed to keep his cool for the majority of the event.

Huawei’s also selling a $1,225 Porsche-branded Mate 10

Will.i.am’s company buys Bluetooth earbud maker Earin
i.am+ is a strange company — of course, we’d expect no less from a startup owned by Black Eyed Pea turned tech entrepreneur, Will.i.am. Probably best known for its gaudy Buttons headphones and the largely panned Puls smartwatch/wrist-band dealie, the company has been making some strange and seemingly disparate moves of late. At Dreamforce back in November, it announced that it… Read More

Starry Internet’s beaming broadband tech hits LA and DC this month, with more cities coming soon
Starry’s mostly been pretty quiet since coming out of stealth roughly this time two years ago. The Boston-based startup has been busy raising funds and running limited testing in its hometown. Starry Internet is still firmly in beta mode, mind, but later this month, it’s going to expand that testing to two new key markets, Los Angeles and Washington, DC.
