The AT&T/T-Mobile Merger Is Dead…..
As we heard earlier today that AT&T and T-Mobile couldn’t find buyers for assets that could help make their merger a reality, but now there’s no need to worry about it: AT&T has just announced that the deal is officially dead.

Geek to Live: Back up Gmail with fetchmail
While I love the convenience and features of Gmail, I hate that all my messages live on Google’s servers. Without a local copy, if I can’t get online, or if Gmail has an outage, my email’s inaccessible.
While it’s possible to download your Gmail with a POP client like Thunderbird, constantly running a program just to backup your email consumes CPU cycles and memory.
Instead, today we’ll set up a nightly automated Gmail backup using the command line program fetchmail, which will go out, grab your newest messages, save ‘em to your hard drive and exit, all while you sleep soundly in the knowledge that you’ve got an offline copy of your important email.

iSpy Conspiracy: Your iPhone Is Secretly Tracking Everywhere You’ve Been
This is a map of everywhere I’ve been for the last months. Everywhere. I didn’t carry around a tracking device. The FBI isn’t sending goons in unmarked vans to track me. All I did was use an iPhone. And if you have an iPhone, you’re being tracked right now, too, whether you like it or not.
It turns out that all our iPhones are keeping a record of everywhere you’ve been since June. This data is stored on your phone (or iPad) and computer, easily available to anyone who gets their hands on it.
