    News Samsung Galaxy Note 20 first hands-on pictures just leaked — and it looks fantastic

    Looks fantastic? hardly. In fact it seems like a large step backwards to me. It looks just like every other phone out there, except it's got a big ugly lump of plastic sticking out the back for the cameras, and doesn't have a headphone jack. I think I'll just stick with my old S8 for as long as...

    Google: We'd Have Loved to Partner with Nokia

    Microsoft is a has-been. They are on the way out. Their business model doesn't work any more and they are so stuck in a rut they can't change it. Choosing a used-car salesman for CEO of a tech company was a particularly clueless move. That combined with years of screwing their own customers...

    Prisoners Hacking PS3 to Charge Their Phones

    So the governor of the prison can't even keep locked-down prisoners from obtaining and using cellphones right under his nose? If I was that guy I'd be too embarrassed to hold my head up in public. If I was in charge of that guy I would have fired him already.

    Samsung Shows Off Flexible AMOLED Display

    This is not new news. Sony had it in 2007. http://www.pcworld.com/article/132249/sony_philips_unveil_flexible_oled_displays.html More to the point, Sony have had it for at least 3 years and haven't put it in an actual product yet either. This tech is just another example of the cool things...

    Amazon Kindle Hits Target This Month

    With all the artificial limitations and lock-in it has, You'd have to be a moron to buy a kindle. You can buy much better (less limited and more useable) e-book readers such as nook or sony for the same or less than than the price of a kindle.

    Airport Worker Warned for Abusing Naked Scanner

    brendano257Scanner or not I would think this incident deserves much stricter punishment. However I do find it entertaining that she's so offended. evilmonkNot if you are the terminator... Yeah because the terminator is real right?

    Vista Features Removed from Windows 7

    Sorry but Windows 7 is a new low that I just wont go to. Microsoft are taking more massive backwards steps by continuing to shroud functionality with more and more ambiguous marketing metaphors that assume all PC users are morons. For example, to me "add/remove programs" is far more accurate...

    Android is for Boys? 73 Percent of Users Are Male

    Most women don't understand or cope well with tech. Sorry if you think that just pointing out such a thing is sexist, but that doesn't stop it being true.

    Creative Sound Blaster Wireless WoW Headset

    2.4Ghz is a BAD thing. the trouble with 2.4ghz is that it is already massively overused. I already have 2.4ghz headphones and when they're on, both my wifi connection and my mediacenter remote stop working. I also often get sound dropouts in my headphones, apparently when my microwave is on and...

    Car Thief Caught While Playing Grand Theft Auto

    Nice to see that the police are ensuring morons like this can't breed by throwing them into jail. I guess natural selection hasn't yet been totally eradicated.

    How To: Set Up A Tiny HTPC Anywhere

    Very naive of you to not consider Linux. For example, Mythbox is free to download and has way more features than Windows MediaCenter (such as being able to record HDTV) and is also DRM-free. Because its linux it is way more robust and can be used as a decent media server too. It is a pain to...

    Google Phone Could be Data Only, VoIP Calling

    I'm amused at how everyone automatically assumes that voip calls will be free so this will work out to be a lot cheaper. AT&T won't allow Google to compete with their existing market where they've already found that most of the population will happily pay $60-$100 per month for a cell phone...

    The BioShock 2 Box Art Unveiled

    I went out and bought Bioshock because everyone was raving about it. I was pretty depressed at how mediocre and 'on rails' the gameplay actually is. The fact that when you kill something, you can walk 10 feet away, turn around and it would be right back is ludicrous. I honestly didn't think the...

    Metal Gear Developers Addicted to Dating Sim

    Sad. So sad. Is this what life has become? I guess what can you expect from a country that also has vending machines selling young girls used underwear.
