Google Wave reaches zero amplitude
We knew it was coming, but alas, the loss of Google Wave hits us anew now that the execution date has finally come. To say we fully grokked this platform would be untrue, but as we dug through its history to gather our thoughts, we realized what a misunderstood creature Wave really was. Released in 2009 with great fanfare and no shortage of Firefly references, the program meant well with its collaboration-friendly interface, emphasis on multimedia sharing and raft of third-party extensions such as real-time Swedish Chef translation. But while its heart was in the right place, the service sacrificed accessibility for intrigue, a distinct online identity for an early adopter sensibility. Thus, after the invite-only mystique wore off and talk of a Wave app store began to sound downright foolish, the program's future looked anything but rosy. But even a product this short-lived can have a legacy: in Wave's case, it could be making Google Plus seem downright approachable by comparison. And though this may be little consolation to those hardcore wavers -- few and far between as they may be -- the project's spirit will live on in the equally perplexing Apache Wave. RIP, Google Wave, we really hardly knew you.

PFT: Umenyiora says Giants trying to make him look greedy
Getty ImagesA week ago, the Twitterverse got better acquainted with the marital troubles of Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, thanks to the fact that he decided to tweet about it.
Since then, his estranged wife, Pilar, has been arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault.? Deion has been cited, but not arrested, for assault.
Over the weekend, a piano teacher who witnessed part of the interaction told WFAA-TV that Deion, not Pilar, seemed to be the aggressor.
?I heard glass breaking, and Deion was shouting at the top of his lungs, over and over again, ?Get out of my house, get out of my house!?? Lisa Thomas told WFAA (via Robert Littal of BlackSportsOnline.com).
Thomas, who was there to give a piano lesson to one of Deion?s children, left as the police arrived.? She believed that the police were aggressive with Pilar.
?That?s what I found strange,? Thomas said.? ?They hadn?t even interviewed them, and they were pushing her out like she was some criminal, and they said, ?You stay outside,? and just said, ?Do not come back in this house.??
Thomas was surprised to learn that Pilar, not Deion, was arrested.? ?I was flabbergasted,? Thomas said. ?This can not be right. It?s not right.? It?s so wrong.? Now way she deserved to go to jail.?
The authorities did not take a statement from Thomas, and the Prosper, Texas police department did not respond to a request from WFAA for an explanation.

US Cellular, Alltel Wireless team up to launch 'U Prepaid' service in Walmart stores
Good ol' Wally isn't a stranger when it comes to offering prepaid wireless goods within its shops, and now the retail giant's about to add yet another service to that carrier-packed inventory. Starting next month, US Cellular -- in partnership with Alltel Wireless -- will begin rolling out a new contract-free package dubbed "U Prepaid," which, naturally, is set to be backed by both of the aforementioned carrier's networks. The fresh U Prepaid deal will be making its way into "nearly" 500 Walmart stores across 18 US states, though there's no mention of which ones specifically. That being said, US Cellular and Alltel did announce the four devices coming at launch, including Samsung's Repp and Chrone along with the LG Attune / Exchange and Saber. In any case, now you know where to go if those recently announced plans from AT&T and Verizon aren't keeping a smile on your face.
