    These Are the World's Most Hackable Cars

    I'm curious where the Tesla Model S lands on the list (if it was included in the study) given it's inclusion of 3G data and the ability for Tesla to push over-the-air updates to the car's software package.

    Destiny the Game: Everything You Need to Know

    It's not Bungie making those calls, it's Activision. The publisher controls nearly all of the decisions regarding release dates, what platforms the game will be for, pre-order bonuses, and many other things that are out of the developers' hands.

    They would need a flexible display in order to make the curved screen.

    Why Apple's iWatch Already Beats Android Wear

    Samsung has been pushing their crappy smart watches for a few years now trying to be the first big smart watch player and has been putting out some devices with way too many features that drive up the price and drive down battery life. LG's watch seems to be a "me too!" effort that doesn't do...

    Valve Challenges Oculus with 'Dota 2' VR Headset

    Oculus Rift doesn't have a "final product" yet. They're still in open pre-orders for the 2nd Developer Kit which only has 1080p resolution. There's no confirmed "final" version with 1440p resolution. Anything other than the specs of the DK2 are all rumors and speculation. As kartu stated there...

    Critical Internet Explorer Flaw Patched, Even for XP

    Because the patch is for IE and is likely a fix that works for all versions of IE that were affected I would guess that it was trivial for Microsoft to issue the patch to XP systems. Once they resolved it for newer versions they may have realized the same fix can be applied to the XP systems and...

    Apple iWatch Already in Production (Report)

    That's not an official render. That's a made-up concept by someone outside of Apple. The "iWatch" isn't an official product from Apple yet as they haven't announced anything. Everything is just rumors and speculation at this point.

    iWatch May Replace iPod in Apple's Lineup

    There's less and less of a market for the iPod now that iPhones and iPads are so prevalent. The iPod market has been steadily declining over the past few years with a 51% drop year-over-year this past quarter. People are still buying them but most people with a smartphone will use that for media...

    Teens Say They'll Buy an Apple iWatch

    Did they ask these teens if they planned to buy it themselves or if they planned to have an adult buy it for them? $350 is a solid chunk of change for a smartphone accessory, especially given that the Nexus 5 costs $350 and is an entire phone. Most teens can't afford their phone on their own let...

    Amazon's Original Programming Will Be Shot in 4K

    "Why does it seem that every article that refers to UHD say that it is "more than 4 times that of HD resolution". Taking the numbers given in the above article, UHD is 3840 x 2160, or a total of 8,294,400 pixels. Actually, that is EXACTLY four times the resolution of HD's (1920 x 1080) 2,073,600...

    Who Wants SteamOS?

    I really hope that SteamOS is going to be great! I've been looking to build an HTPC and SteamOS seems like a great option to try, especially with the ability to stream games from my desktop that don't support Linux. I'm already familiar with Linux so I'm a bit ahead of the learning curve that...

    LG Reveals New Lineup of OLED, Ultra HD TVs

    They don't WANT to make models for the "poor man". They want to take this new tech and charge a premium for it and maximize profits while there are only a few models on the market. The easiest way to charge more money is to make it bigger, which is why I would expect to see more 65" and 70"...

    Looking for 13 in 1080p light weight intel 5000

    There's nothing I know of yet that uses HD 5000 other than the latest MacBook Airs and the 13" model doesn't have a 1080p screen (it's 1440x900). Samsung does have their AVIV Book 9 Plus laptop on the way with HD 5000 and a 3200x1800 display (scales perfectly to 1600x900) but it won't launch for...

    Notch Confirms He's No Longer Working on 0x10c

    I like to hope that Notch will take the money he's gained from Minecraft and put it toward building a real studio that can produce some AAA titles. I like Indie games as much as the next guy but I don't want Notch's talent and creativity lost because he's trying to do everything on his own when...

    Latest Rumors Point to 128 GB Gold iPhone

    I doubt Apple would release a gold iPhone. Gold is possibly the most gaudy, overly-flashy color your could make a phone and Apple's products have taken on a much more understated and minimalist design. Nobody at Apple would be caught dead with an aluminum MacBook Pro, aluminum and glass iPad...
