The amazing space program propaganda of Soviet Russia
Feb 17th
In today’s world, Russia and America are allies and cooperate in space — in fact, two Russian astronauts performed a space walk Thursday to install a debris shield on the ISS — but the two countries used to be on opposite sides of the space race.
Competition was fierce. Russia got a man up into orbit first; America made it to the moon before the Soviet Union. Here’s one area where Soviet Russia may’ve had Cold War America definitively beat, though: amazing space propaganda art.

Sprint to start an “Upgrade Now” program?
Feb 13th
PocketNow reported earlier today that Sprint might be preparing an “Upgrade Now” program. This would allow current users to buy out the rest of their contract and upgrade to a new device for a fee (on a new 2-year agreement). The program is said to last for two months starting today, but we haven’t received any official news so far.
The fee depends on when your last upgrade took place.
$165 if you have upgraded 9-11 months ago
$125 if you have upgraded 12-14 months ago
$95 if you have upgraded 15-17 months ago
$55 if you have upgraded 18-21 months ago
$36 which is the standard Upgrade Fee if you upgraded more than 22 months ago.
There are quite a few people who might not be eligible, though. If you upgraded less than 8 months ago, have a corporate account, an airave account for a tablet, or an iDEN device, you’re out of luck.
The reason behind the upgrade? I’ll put my money on the impending launch of the Sprint Galaxy Nexus.

Apple’s ‘Matching Gift’ program, where Apple match any donation by an employee to charity, has now been expanded to include part time employees as well, MacGeneration reports.
Microsoft operate a similar scheme, but instead of the donation limit being $10,000, as it is with Apple, Microsoft have a $12,000 ceiling. Tim Cook has also promised that Apple employees abroad will be the next to join the scheme.
As of the 11th of November 2011, Apple reported having received $1.3 million in donations, therefore making a donation total of $2.6 million.
