    Xbox One Hands On: Multitasking Multimedia Machine

    I'm definitely a fan of the multi-tasking aspect of XB One and I've always thought the xb interface was light years ahead of playstation. I wish I could take the hardware from the PS4 and put it together with the controller and interface from the XBox One. I can't decide whether the controller...

    Wi-Fi Industry Retaliates Against FCC's Super Wi-Fi Network

    I'm all for it but I have one huge trepidation. The government is terrible about maintaining anything, just look at our ailing Interstate system and inefficient budget for improving existing civil utilities. Free wifi everyone would rock, but I'm guessing the government run system would crash...

    VIDEO: The Special Forces Raid on Kim Dotcom's Mansion

    It takes an entire army to take down one nerd. Apparently all those RPG power leveling sessions must make us powerful in real life too.

    Sharp Intros World's Largest 3D HDTV at 90 Inches

    At some point I'm going to need bigger eyes to be able to see the whole screen while sitting in my living room. What I do like about this though is it would be great for replacing projectors in meeting/class rooms.

    Nintendo Reveals Wii U Pro Controller, Final Wii U Design

    Taking the tablet controller to my bedroom at night to be able to play a console quality game sans TV appeals to me. I can also see how a tablet controller could make some games like Diablo 3 or other inventory/menu intensive games a lot nicer to play on a console. That being said, I'm very...

    Average HDTV Today Made to Last Only a Few Years

    I'm not sure I buy this. My take is that the thinner TVs have gotten they naturally have to get more flimsy unless you want to pay extra for reinforcement etc. And the average consumer is looking to get the cheapest biggest TV they can get which means in the price wars they have to leave out...

    Apple Tells DoJ It Did Nothing Wrong; "Amazon Monopolistic"

    As much as I usually don't like Apple. I have to agree with them on this. Amazon has been doing the "Wal-mart routine" trying to kill off every brick and mortar book store by selling books at a loss to gain the advantage. I despise Wal-mart when they do it to small towns and I despise that...

    Is Apple Working on a Game Controller for iPhone and iPad?

    A controller is pretty much all the stands in the way of smartphones replacing handhelds. What Apple/Android needs to dethrone Nintendo and Sony: 1) The controller needs to either be integrated or in a case slim enough not to make you want to take it off in between gaming sessions. Like...

    Congress Wants Answers Regarding iOS Apps and Privacy

    The politicians caught on. Apple users are more concerned with their image and phones than they are with economy crippling national debt and government/corporate corruption.

    Paramount First to Sell UltraViolet Movies Directly

    Simple wins the hearts of customers. And Paramount just made it anything BUT simple. BitTorrent is simple. I don't agree with it being used for movies, but its simple and therefore loads of people do it. If you want to stop pirating, make watching the movies I paid for SIMPLE. Why is this so...
