CU files comments with FCC backing cell phone ‘bill shock’ rules

Included in the submission were signatures from over 47,000 people who agree with the FCC's proposal to require wireless companies to notify customers before they exceed their limits on minutes, text, and data.

Honda Fit Shuttle website launches, vehicle rolling out this March
Honda has finally launched its website for the Fit Shuttle, where it will definitely cause most people to wonder why does this look like the subcompact Fit, although you do get the advantage of more glass beyond the hatchback’s C-pillar – indirectly resulting in more storage space within. Apart from that, it will feature a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 1.3-liter IMA hybrid, where both of them hail directly from the standard Japanese-market Fit and Fit Hybrid hatchback. Touted to roll out this March, does this mean the Fit Shuttle will be debuting at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show?

Acer debuts GN245HQ monitor with HDMI 3D support from NVIDIA
Acer’s already rolled out a few 3D-capable monitors (among other products ), but none quite like it’s new GN245HQ model, which the company notes is the “first 3D monitor in the world” to support NVIDIA’s HDMI 3D solution. That means you’ll be able to view 3D content from a connected set-top box or Blu-ray player in addition to a PC connected via DVI-DL, and do so with the included active shutter glasses that work in conjunction with the monitor’s built-in IR emitter. As for the monitor itself, you’ll get the usual 1920 x 1080 resolution and 120MHz refresh rate, along with a 2ms response time, a pair of built-in 2W speakers, and LED backlighting that uses two lamps instead of four for a promised 68% savings in power consumption.
