Instagram (s FB) shminstagram. Rather using this week’s Gigaom Show to discuss the messaging app we already saw coming, we turned our attention to much hotter topics. Jeff Roberts breaks down whether the $25 million dollar investment in Coinbase is a turning point for Bitcoin. Then Austin-ite Stacey Higginbotham clues us into AT&T’s new plan to offer cheaper broadband in exchange for the telco snooping on your searches. Finally we round out the episode with a discussion about Verizion’s (s VZN) monster new LTE network and deep discussion on the ability to unlock one’s phone.

A $25 million bet on Bitcoin: is this really the “tipping point?”

AT&T’s gigabit service is $70 if you let it spy on…

With Christmas coming up, most of us will be preparing for some serious feasting. Unfortunately it’s also when we collectively generate the most waste. The surprisingly huge environmental consequences of food waste are hard to brush aside. Around one third of the world’s agricultural land is used to produce food that is subsequently not eaten. This land is often “created” by displacing forests, the animals that live in those forests, and the valuable ecosystem services they provide. Furthermore, growing, processing and distributing food racks up a lot of emissions. In Australia, the food supply chain is the next highest generator of greenhouse emissions, after power stations. After all that, 222 million tonnes of food is then thrown out each year in wealthy nations (in Australia, it’s 4.5 tonnes).

Fortunately, there are plenty of rewards  you get from reducing your food waste, beyond a healthier budget and clearer conscience. As it turns…

Truecaller, a Swedish company that runs a reverse-lookup phone directory so users can see who’s calling them, is particularly big in India. So it makes sense that that’s where the company is launching its new partnership with Twitter(s twtr).

The deal represents a handy bit of integration between the two services. When someone calls a Truecaller user in India, the app will tell them whether the caller’s number is associated with a Twitter account. They can then tweet at or follow the caller – however, this doesn’t make the Truecaller app a fully-fledged third-party Twitter client, as users can’t reply to tweets or see timelines.

As for how phone numbers are associated with Twitter accounts in the first place, Truecaller didn’t offer any explanation. However, it’s worth remembering that Twitter’s two-step authentication process involves registering a phone number, and also that carriers in many emerging markets offer low-cost…

As autoridades provinciais argentinas e a polícia pactuaram nas últimas horas altas salariais que puseram fim aos protestos em quase todo o país e reduziram a tensão, após oito dias de conflitos e violentos saques que causaram ao menos nove mortes.

“Se resolveram todos os conflitos nas províncias argentinas. A situação está canalizada e resolvida”, disse nesta quarta-feira (11) à imprensa o chefe de Gabinete, Jorge Capitanich.

Horas depois, um setor da polícia na província nortista de Salta iniciou uma greve para exigir melhorias salariais e voltou a soar os alarmes pelo risco de incidentes perante a ausência de uniformizados.

A última vítima confirmada é um homem de 30 anos que morreu na terça-feira (10) ao ser supostamente baleado por moradores que protegiam um bairro da periferia sul de San Miguel de Tucumán, cerca de 1.100 quilômetros ao noroeste de Buenos Aires.

Com três vítimas fatais e cerca de uma…
