    Apple's iPad Event: What to Expect

    The iPad mini display is not sharper. It's higher resolution. Resolution is independent of "sharpness" or PPI. The lower resolution iPhone 6 Plus is actually much "sharper", higher PPI, than the higher resolution iPad mini display because of the size of the displays. Sharpness, or PPI, is a...

    iPhone 6 NFC Limited to Apple Pay (for Now)

    It shouldn't be surprising! That's too bad though. NFC transfers are great! It's easier than AirDrop and it's cross platform some at least some data types.

    8 Best Screenshot Tools

    Windows 7 has "Snipping Tool" built in which is great for nearly all situations. There's no need for a different tool anymore for most people. Plus you still have <Print-Screen> and <Alt>-<Print Screen> which Windows has had since 3.1 or so. The Snipping Tool lets you highlight, draw, select...

    Why 1080p Resolution Matters in 'Call of Duty: Ghosts'

    Fwiw 720 and 1080 are references to vertical, not horizontal, pixel count. The associated horizontal pixel counts are 1280 and 1920 respectively.

    Best Smartphone Cameras 2013

    Does the iPhone 5S still use a Sapphire lens? Apple should have learned was a bad idea from the iPhone 5. Apple doesn't always learn things very well or quickly. The Sapphire lens causes nasty purple lens flair in some lighting conditions.

    Best Smartphone Cameras 2013

    I think the phones that were chose to compare are good but I also think there should be two more, the HTC One since it uses a very different approach to capturing good low-light images by having three sensors in parallel, and one of the new Moto's like the Moto X or the Droid Maxx.

    Verizon May Owe Apple $14B Over Slow iPhone Sales

    If Verizon was smart they would tell Apple they're not giving them any extra money they owe because the iPhone isn't worth selling. If Apple is ok with that Verizon will continue to sell the iPhone. If Apple doesn't like that Verizon will not sell them anymore. That would hurt Apple much more...

    Google Banning Devs From Updating Outside Google Play

    They title is misleading, really it's not true at all. The news is that Google is not allowing developers to release apps on Google Play that, once installed, have their own way of getting updates within the app, that's completely independent of Google Play. Developers can still release...

    Rumor: iPad 5 To Be Thinner and Lighter Than Current Models

    Too bad what they need is a new OS, not new hardware...well for the tablet at least. Their phone is still a joke. The hardware needs nfc, a notification LED, and a larger display.
