If you have over £7,000 and a hunger for ludicrously high definition TVs, Toshiba's impending 55-inch predator is gunning for your wallet and cranium. 4k resolution is more spec candy than anything, but glasses-free 3D? Yes please.
CES is just around the corner, which means junk like this is showing up in my inbox. Hey, [REDACTED], did you put a butt in your email to remind me how shitty your products are? Because that's what I'm thinking.
Dr. Dre decided to endorse expensive headphones. Despite not being that great, they're becoming sidewalk ubiquitous. Ergo, 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson, aka known purveyor of rap and B-movies and Vitamin Water), isn't going to be left out. We chatted with Curtis about his new cans, Twitter, and women.
Don't ask me how a paper pot can be used to boil water and cook pasta and make noodles but this paper pot, the Hexa Pot, can. IT'S MADE OF PAPER. The Hexa Pot isn't real yet (it's a Kickstarter) but it's the perfect pot for the outdoors. And the perfect pot for lazy people like me who hate to do dishes.
Most of the world has moved on to svelte SD storage, but many photog pros still swear by the speed and durability of Compact Flash. If you're one of them, smile: Lexar just dropped a 256 GB bomb.
I suppose it's not a little ironic that what is easily the best Android tablet of the last year does not look a little bit like an iPad, but a lot like an iPad, and is being sued for trademark infringement—though not by Apple. If you want to be generous, you could say that Asus's Transformer Prime stands on the shoulders of giants. With spiked boots.
Web browser improvements seem to pop out at a pace barely detectable to the human eye, so periodically Tom's Hardware will go through every desktop browser on Windows and OS X with a fine-toothed comb and tell you which one comes out on top. This time around, they like Firefox and Safari.
It's become decorum to place your phone atop the restaurant table before (and while) you dine. But just because it's the status quo doesn't mean it's not annoying and gross. Use this brilliant test of will to punish pathetic talk-and-texters.
At the end of this post there is a comment form, where you can weigh in and tell me I am wrong. If you do that, however — even if you have a great point — you're probably a troll.
Nikkei is reporting that Kaz Hirai will finally be promoted to President of Sony (in April). If you remember, Hirai has been the Playstation boss for quite some time and was rumored to be in talks of becoming President as far back as November 2010. Sony sure took its time with this one.
There were those who said man would never make it to the moon. They were wrong. There were those who threw up their hands in anguish, saying the large round waffle and the chicken wing could never unite. Wrong again.
I love the late Don Hong-Oai's photography. His style, the perfect composition, the texture... everything in his work fools the mind into thinking you are looking at a delicate ink illustration. Photo or drawing, they make me want to visit.
Cleanup efforts around the tsunami-damaged Fukushima nuclear plant are expected to require decades — up to fifty years, in fact. However, if a new radiation decontamination technology from Toshiba and IHI pans out, that date will come much, much sooner.
This is a 2D side-scrolling platformer, where the lead character jumps on heads, breaks blocks, and seeks out hidden bonus items. No prizes for guessing the inspiration. But it's a slick exercise in genre, with a premise that owes more to Monsters Inc than Super Mario Brothers, and for the most part it works a treat.
G-Form has put iPads through some serious torture in the name of, err, angular yellow iPad cases? Whatever. This is an iPad (and a Go-Pro!) falling from over 30,000 metres — high enough to see the curvature of the Earth and the black of space).
Apple accessories purveyor Mobee thinks it has the solution for needing to swap out the batteries on your Magic Trackpad every so often. The Power Bar will do the trick — if you remember to charge it.
