On the eve of the Facebook public offering it appears that Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin has buried the hatchet once and for all, offering congratulations to the Facebook staff and Zuckerberg specifically as well. Saverin was portrayed in the Hollywood portrayal of the Facebook story “The Social Network” as a founder of Facebook that was betrayed and pushed out by Zuckerberg – the real life story appears to be a bit sweeter in the end. Saverin also caught some press this month for renouncing his US citizenship in order to dodge the massive taxes he would otherwise have to pay now that his share of the Facebook IPO is going big.

If your cine-cave is already decked out with the Super Hi-Vision display, the Super Hi-Vision camera, and the Super Hi-Vision-supping antenna, we guess you just need the 120fps Super Hi-Vision projector to complete the set?

There’s been hints of it coming as early as February, but we now have a smoking gun at the FCC: the Galaxy S III is coming to T-Mobile. A Samsung SGH-T999 has popped up at the agency sporting newly added 1,700MHz AWS support that’s the telltale sign of a T-Mobile device, along with the T999 name itself (the T989 is the network’s Galaxy S II). It also totes 850MHz and 1,900MHz WCDMA bands being used for HSPA+ data rather than just voice, a clue that the phone is ready for refarmed GSM spectrum. Just in case there was any remaining doubt, we’ve further spotted a related T999V entry at the Bluetooth SIG with a rather familiar-looking image as well as a Samsung-hosted T999 user agent profile on the web that matches what we know about the android 4.0 hardware. We have yet to get a look at whether or not the T-Mobile version is any different on the outside, but with the FCC’s help, there’s not much left to know before the expected summer US launch.
