There’s one piece of hardware in particular that can bring any techie, geek, or nerd to their knees- the battery. Without power, you can’t use any device and that goes for smartphones, tablets and laptops. Unfortunately, over time...
I have service with Verizon Wireless, not that you necessarily care, but trust me that point sets the stage for my review. Verizon likes to lock down their devices by charging you all kinds of additional fees to use features which...
The thing about most flaky people is that they have no idea they’re acting flaky. If people accuse you of being the kind of person who flakes out on planned events, there’s not usually a way to prove them wrong with co...
If you grew up in a Windows household in the 90s or 00s, you are sure to remember Clippy. Clippy was Word’s built-in “helper,” but he never really did much to help out. Clippy came pre-installed with Microsoft Of...
We’re all pretty familiar with Google’s Street View by now, and there’s a good chance that we might even take it for granted. But getting all the images necessary to make it happen takes some hard work from guys ...
If there were any doubts about the general success of OUYA, at least in its early stages they can now be laid to rest. Just mere hours after going on sale in the US, Canada and the UK, the Android powered game console sold out thr...
Phablets like the Galaxy Note don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. So to take advantage of that, Sony has decided to join the fray. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra, like any good phablet, has a ridiculously large 1080p scre...
Just when those smartwatch rumors started to die down, Sony comes in and announces an actual smartwatch. The SmartWatch 2 is a follow-up to their previous foray into wearable computing last year, and it’s packed with some si...
It’s only going to take another generation or two until those 5 to 6-inch phablets become full on tablets. Huawei decided to skip right over all the innovation for the next few generation of phone sizes and took it upon themselves...
HP just announced the Slate 21, which is a 21.5-inch freestanding Android powered PC that happens to be integrated into a display. It’s essentially an all-in-one PC backed by an Nvidia Tegra 4 processor and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bea...

I wonder how much this Mario haircut cost. And who did it.
iMacs with lasers, anyone?
It looks like a lot of pink bubble gum inside a computer.
One thing that I find to be particularly lacking in Windows is a diverse selection of desktop widgets. Then again, that’s not taking into account many of the third party options available out there. This may seem strange, but one ...
One of the best things that Android has going for it is the support for widgets. You won’t find the same functionality on other mobile platforms, which is silly because widgets really do add to the overall user experience. Most wi...
I’m a total typography nerd. I’ve watched a documentary on the history of Helvetica, and I’m the kind of person who flips to the end of a novel to see what typeface was used to set the tone of the book. I have a ...
I’m a sucker for a good puzzle game. And while the iPhone is my puzzle platform of choice, there are times when I just want to kick back on my MacBook and veg out. I don’t usually play a lot of puzzle games on my MacBo...

1,000-year-old Egyptian statue is locked in a glass case in a British museum; it has bee there for 80 years and still remains there. However, it recently started moving (rotating) on its own.
Google Reader is almost gone, so the race to find a suitable alternative is on. Many folks are turning to Feedly, Flipboard, Pulse or even Digg’s new service. If this next rumor turns out to be true, some folks may soon be t...
If you were worried that Google Reader’s demise would leave you with a lack of RSS reader options, you were horribly wrong — it’s almost as if there’s a new one every week! And this week, it’s AOLR...
Okay, I know I told you to guess what number one was but I couldn’t help it — and you probably knew already anyway. Unsurprisingly, Game of Thrones is once again the most pirated TV show at the end of the spring season...
Most of us have probably moved on to using Blu-rays now, but the old DVD might have just received a big shot in the arm. And I mean big. A bunch of Chinese researchers have discovered a new method that could theoretically allow a ...
One of Facebook’s archival features has accidentally exposed the contact information of around 6 million of its users. This includes email addresses and phone numbers that users may or may not have wanted shared with all the...
Instagram was recently updated to include video sharing support much like Vine. During the first 24 hours of the service being available, more than 5 million videos were uploaded by active users. In fact, in just the first eight h...
