    6 Things You Might Not Know About Cord-Cutting

    Cut the cord myself. Already had Netflix and Amazon Prime. Added Hulu + to the mix. Don't miss my $120 Dish bill at all. I do buy handful of shows on Amazon (Top Gear, Justified, Grimm, etc), but I'm still way ahead of the game $ wise. Have Locals in HD via antenna. My humble 12Mb...

    Few Americans Cancel Cable in Favor of Online Video

    I cancelled my Dish subscription this spring and went with antenna and stream the rest of my content. Having no issue finding all of my content I was watching before. Even with buying my favorite shows on Amazon, I'm still way ahead of where I was before paying for Dish. In fact I'm watching...

    Pandora Mobile Cap May Have Increased Slacker Radio Usage

    Switched from pandora to slacker sometime ago. Slacker is much less repetitive and seems to have a better selection of music.

    Google+ Surpasses Twitter to Become No. 2 Social Network

    Started using it to backup my photo's. I'd probably use it more than FB, but just about everyone I know is on FB. Overall, I do prefer Google+'s layout, hope it catches on.

    Activision: Black Ops II Grossed $1 Billion in 15 Days

    Bought it for PC, but it will be the last CoD game I buy. Match making is pathetic.

    iOS Apps Four Times More Profitable Than Android Store

    You have to acknowledge, Android has come along way. Imagine if Apple didn't have Android competing against it. We'd probably still have the same stale mobile iOS........oh wait. NVM.

    iPhone 5 Traffic Volume Already Beats Samsung's Galaxy S3

    Few years ago no one would of thought a single Android phone would be able to stand toe to toe with an iPhone. Study sounds fishy to me, but it still brings to light that Android has caught up and is surpassing Apple Mobile OS. Looking forward to swapping out my wife's iPhone 4 to a Moto...

    Nokia Has a 'Contingency Plan' if Windows Phone 8 Fails

    Yes, you can use google with other OS's but it seems to work much better with Android. Not to mention the nifty widgets that make it easy to check things at a glance. Android on a Nokia phone would be a good combo imho. Especially with ICS and now Jellybean, I'd like to see a Nokia custom...

    Samsung Galaxy Nexus Also Banned in USA

    I see why Google is getting chummy with Asus now. Hard to sell Android/Google product if it keeps getting banned.

    Developer Hacks Google's Nexus Q to Load Games

    At $300 bucks, this thing needs more versatility. I'd like to at least be able to stream media off of my home server. I also need my Netflix and Slacker Radio please.

    Rumor: Google Working on Nexus 10 Tablet Too

    All about the marketing. One reason Android Tablets don't fair so well against Apple is because of the way they are represented. Most of the time they aren't even on or plugged in, like employees don't even give a crap in the store. While Apple has their products well marketed/displayed...

    Android Expected to Dominate Smartphones Long Term

    I've got two Android devices as well. Bionic (2.3) and a Xoom (4.0 ICS). Gingerbread certainly feels rough around the ages, but it works and is solid. ICS brings Android very close to the polish feel of IOS. Andorid 5 is due out this fall which I'm sure will be even more polished. I use...

    Fake Instagram App Laced with Malware Appears on Android

    ap3xHow do people complain about Apples walled garden approach while dealing with issues like this. I don't understand it. Nothing wrong with having an approval process for applications to make sure this kind of crazyness does not happen. I don't even bother unlocking my phone for this very...
