    Samsung Sells a Million Galaxy Tabs

    I'm bringing mine back tomorrow. I'm spoiled - LCD is not SAMOLED. I also want dual core. 2011 is going to be the year of the tablets, and I don't feel like swapping it out as soon as the next batch is ready in Q1.

    MIT Develops Smartphone App to Test Your Eyes

    I imagine that with more development, using letters and numbers and voice recognition, a more accurate test could be given with no extra hardware costs. With a pixel dense display it could be more accurate than a proper exam. Powerful cell phones can negate entire product lines if used properly...

    Mortal Kombat is Coming back in Old-school Form

    People seem to be under the impression that companies are interested in making art or quality programs. They arent. By their nature, corporations are driven by profit, that is their legal obligation to shareholders. Some use quality and art to drive up game sales, but that is a business...

    Filmmaker Personally Tracks Down Movie Pirate

    grieveI hate when people say this. It's not true at all. Do you think thieves who steal things then return to the store and pay for them? If people want it, and they can get it for free, they will take it for free.Angels and airwaves released an album online for free where you had a choice to...

    Restaurant Replaces Paper-Based Menus with iPads

    I can see a lot of people here have not used a proper tablet computing device and are focusing on the things it does not do without realizing that it should not do those things - they are out of it's scope. Using an iPad or any thin/light tablet for a menu is an awesome idea - and I disagree...

    Restaurant Replaces Paper-Based Menus with iPads

    People seem to be forgetting that the price of all this is dropping along with Moore's law. Someone has to be first, and every day the next version and the replacement gets cheaper. $500 might seem like a lot to you, but for a business, it's chicken scratch. In two years, the price will be...

    Google May Nuke Custom UIs in Android 3.0

    They should use a "device speed index" like Win 7 with Aero and let effects match device capabilities. That way you can have one UI on different platforms. A plugin architecture for UI effects would allow for developers to focus on customizing as much or as little as they want. They may only...

    Droid X is Verizon's Answer to Sprint's EVO 4G

    I have an EVO4G - and it's not too big. In fact after daily use, I wonder why other phones are so small. Browsing the web on a mini-screen is a pain. I think that 4.3-4.5 are perfect sizes for phones, and the iPad is a good size for tablets (maybe a tad bigger, but not much). With a phone...

    Unofficial Android 2.2 Ready and Rooted

    techguy378Strange that wifi support is not included. All of the preinstalled software on a brand new Nexus One phone is 100% open source. As for the iPhone 4 OS, Android has been light years ahead in every area for quite some time. Not strange at all, it's likely an insider with a developer...

    Man Used Call of Duty to Obtain Child Pornography

    Why all the hate for people of a different sexual orientation? I thought we were going to end discrimination. What's next, chemicals to "fix" the whole GLBT community?
