Verizon customers can customize their Moto X starting on November 11th

8:30 PM

Good news, Verizon customers: Soon you’ll be able to buy the same wood-patterned Moto X that AT&T customers have enjoyed for months. Droid Life’s sources claim that Verizon customers will get access to the Moto Maker system starting on November 11th, which will let them custom-design their Moto X smartphones and choose from features such as colors, engravings and signature wallpapers. Like AT&T, Verizon will probably sell the customizable Moto X for just $99 with a two-year contract.

The Moto X, which Motorola released this past summer and marketed as the world’s first customizable smartphone, features a 4.7-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (316 pixels per inch), a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.7GHz dual-core processor, a quad-core GPU, a 10-megapixel Clear Pixel rear-facing camera, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of memory and a 2200mAh battery.

eBook price-fixing settlement could give customers $3 refund per book bought

9:00 PM

Apple may still deny that it ever fixed the prices of eBooks, but that’s not stopping some of the company’s alleged co-conspirators from settling with the federal government. Per MacRumors, publishers Macmillan and Penguin have followed in the footsteps of Hachette, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster and have submitted a settlement in the price-fixing case for court approval. If the proposal is accepted and integrated with earlier settlements, then customers who bought books on the Apple iTunes bookstore between April 1st, 2010 and May 21st, 2012 would receive a $3.06 refund per New York Times bestseller bought and $0.73 for all other eBooks bought.
