Sprint is apparently looking to lure in more current iPhone owners that are fed up with the increasingly troublesome data caps on other carriers. Starting May 18th, iPhone users on AT&T and Verizon are encouraged to bring their device into a Sprint store to receive a $100 credit on a new iPhone 4S with an [...]
If you’ve ever done any work in 3D, or had to describe a 3D concept to someone, you might have noticed that it’s not that easy. It’s simple to think, and work, in terms of left/right/up/down, but throw in that third dimension and all of a sudden things get complex. This is especially true because [...]
We know that most of you have your nose to the grindstone in Diablo III, but for those that are looking for a break from slaying electronic demons there’s a new must-have board game for the true geeks of the world. Called The Doom That Came to Atlantic City (DCAC), this HP Lovecraft-inspired board game [...]
If you’ve been playing Diablo III for a few hours, you’re just about ready to start your way into Act II. Unless, of course, you’ve opted to try and beat the game in 12 and a half hours, but let’s assume you are taking your time and enjoying the game. The first act of Diablo [...]
The smartphone battle has been raging hard for the past few years. Until recently, the only serious contenders were Apple (iOS) and Google (Android), with RIM’s Blackberry taking a backseat to the other touchscreen wonders. Microsoft has been talking up its Windows Phone 7 devices since 2010, but despite close control if its hardware partners [...]
We’ve heard a lot of talk across the tech industry about companies reforming their usage of rare earth minerals and halting the use of materials found in conflict zones. Unfortunately certain minerals are found in very select locations and often those are in conflict zones. If you’ve read up on the resource curse (sometimes known [...]
Apparently, I am a sucker for a hilarious YouTube video. I was totally lured in by the web commercial for the Dollar Shave Club, a clever viral marketing video talking about how inexpensive their shaving equipment is. As it just so happens, I had just that week taken the $35 hit to my wallet for [...]
Retail outfit ZaReason has built a reputation over the years for offering quality Ubuntu-powered desktops and laptops at reasonable prices. It’s a bit of a surprise, then, to see that their latest offering — the ZaTab — is going to ship with Android pre-installed instead. Now, this isn’t the same kind of buttoned-up Android experience [...]
There were loud complaints, threats, and gnashing of teeth a few years back when Comcast announced that it was setting a 250GB monthly limit on residential cable internet service. As much as heavy users hated that plan, Comcast’s new bandwidth management tactics are likely to cause even more annoyance. The caps are gone, but a [...]
What’s this? A report from Kantar WorldPanel says that Windows Phone is actually starting to increase its market share? After about a year and a half of struggling to lure customers away from competing systems like Android, iOS, and BlackBerry, Microsoft’s OS is enjoying a modest surge in popularity so far in 2012. Having a [...]
The single best selling Android phone on Sprint is the original HTC EVO. Since that device, Sprint has tried to re-capture the EVO effect with several devices, all from HTC. The HTC EVO Shift and the EVO 3D really didn’t do so great in comparison, but that hasn’t stopped HTC and Sprint from trying again. [...]
As 3D printing continues to mature as a technology, the question that often gets asked is whether or not consumer-level devices can actually produce anything of use/value. Sure, it’s really cool to be able to create skulls and Companion Cubes for all your friends, but they don’t have practical applications. However, as more people discover [...]
Twitter forged a small number of super-powerful users a few years back when it rolled out its suggested users list. This is a list of recommended users that new sign-ups were presented with. Accounts on that list accumulate many thousands of followers, but a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t always the best. Now Twitter is changing the [...]
Whenever a blockbuster title is about to hit, video game retailers are going to look for ways to maximize profit off of that popularity. Amazon, GameStop, and Best Buy are already starting to sing their siren song to the tune of pre-order bonuses, trying to lock-in sales for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. For [...]
When we think about technological progress we generally assume things improve over time — they will get smaller, lighter, more efficient, and more precise. That’s true, but when it comes to privacy and the sharing of data, more precision is not always a good thing. Fully understanding the conflict between sharing and accurate data, such [...]
It wasn’t all that long ago that Mozilla and Google started making web browsers that, in their own ways, completely changed the way we interact with websites. The goal for both companies was pretty simple — get people away from Internet Explorer and make a better web. Since then, Mozilla and Google have been consistently [...]
Since the early days of Android, the loyalists in the Google ecosystem have hoped that one day Andy Rubin would descend from the Googleplex with a series of devices that were stock Android with unlocked bootloaders. In other words, the simultaneous release of multiple “Nexus” type devices is the dream of a large part of [...]
A pair of inexpensive micro-PCs have generated quite a bit of buzz this year. The dirt-cheap Raspberry Pi started shipping in mid-April, but the FXI Cotton Candy has yet to make it out the door. The $200 Android PC-on-a-stick will also have some competition once it finally arrives: a very similar $74 AllWinner A10-based system [...]
With all of the launch day hiccups behind us, the Blizzard fans of the world can sink their teeth into the realm of Diablo once again. Like the previous games, Diablo III is split up into Acts. When you have finished one act, you are sent into the next one, and that character can never [...]
There are two types of people when it comes to business cards: you see them either as a useful way to quickly exchange your contact information or they are a just more clutter in your desk. For the people that really use business cards, you know that you can either have a basic white card [...]
