You probably heard Microsoft mention that the new Xbox One controllers have 40 new features to make them easier to use. That's true! But a few really make the cake. And the rumbling triggers are going to be the biggest. Read More >>
The new Kinect is kind of awesome. Just by the numbers, it's a huge upgrade. You can see (most of) the full walkthrough we saw just a bit ago here at Microsoft's Redmond campus in the video above. Parts are jaw-dropping. Read More >>

You don't drink and drive. That's a stupid, terrible thing to do, with a simple, understood cause and effect. So why do we keep waking up, wondering how on Earth that drunken Facebook message seemed like a good idea, and oh my god, Amazon confirmed shipment for WHAT?

Who has time to watch a whole movie anymore? It's summer! So in the spirit of phoning in everything once the temperature rises above 70-ish, here's Ridley Scott's Aliens in 60 seconds of adorable animation. Brought to you, of course, by the fine folks who did Star Wars Episode IV, Back to the Future, and The Matrix. Not bad for a human. [YouTube] Read More >>

He sounded like a guy in charge of a company he genuinely thought could change the world. And it was a wonderful reminder that Google used to be, can be, and in many ways still is, so much more than a company. Read More >>
Google+ is making a big push to be where you store your photos, and it's got some pretty nice new features to make its case. Storage, editing, and even automatic curation, this actually sounds pretty great. Read More >>

Google just dropped a metric ton of Google on us. Sorting through it all, it's clear that the company's not just trying to put new goodness into the world; it's trying to blow plenty of existing products and services out of the water.

Google has some new stuff coming up for Maps for Android. Details aren't super detailed right now, and of course we'll believe some of this when we see it, but the claims are pretty incredible. Read More >>
