Mobile gaming has come a long way over the years, with more and more video game developers adopting intuitive touch controls that allow you to navigate around your games freely.

Verizon incentivizes customers to switch in a big way

It seems that everyone in the wireless industry these days is doing everything in their power to get customers to switch to their network by offering incentives that help buy them out of their old contract so that they can ditch their old carrier in peace. T-Mobile started this with one of their uncarrier announcements, but since then everyone has been copycatting them in one way or another to the point that AT&T’s CEO has said that eventually contracts are going to go away altogether. Verizon is now announcing that they will give customers who switch from another carrier (and they’re confident that you will) $650 per line to pay off your contract with your old carrier so you will come back to Big Red.

Verizon cites that 87 percent of T-Mobile customers and 86 percent of Sprint customers who switched back to Verizon within six months of leaving Verizon said “Network quality and performance” was the number one reason they came back, so they have decided to help customers get out of their equipment installment plan (EIP) or whatever early termination fees may apply.

How it works

You’ll get up to $650 on a prepaid card for the installment plan balance less the device trade-in value (or up to a $350 prepaid card for early termination fees less the device trade-in value). Your trade-in must be in good working condition and be worth more than $0, and you must keep the new line active for a minimum of 6 months.

If you were thinking about switching to Verizon now may be the time, especially since they’re offering 2GB per month for life* if you switch by January 6th.

Botched database leaks records for 191 million voters

Did you vote in a US election sometime this century? If so, your personal info may be out in the open. Researcher Chris Vickery has discovered that a badly configured database exposed the voter registration info for 191 million Americans, including addresses, party affiliations and state voter IDs. It’s not clear who originally managed the data, but Vickery and Databreaches.net are reaching out to everyone from online services to Congressional political action committees. The two are also contacting law enforcement in hopes of shutting down the leak, although it’s not certain that officials are taking action.

The consequences of this database falling into the wrong hands could be severe, as you might have guessed. Less-than-scrupulous marketers and political campaigns could exploit the data, and criminals could combine it with other info to commit fraud or theft. It’s a particularly big problem for people who need to keep their details secret, such as stalking victims and police. Beyond this, the leak illustrates the need for stricter, consistent security standards around voter data — while states like California and South Dakota have sharp limits on where records go and what they’re used for, other states (including Alaska, Arkansas and Colorado) have no real restrictions. There’s a real possibility that this kind of incident could happen again.
