Imagine receiving a cell phone bill, only to find out that you under-utilized what was offered to you. Now imagine receiving a bill later that charges you 3x as much simply due to that fact. It'd be hard to fathom, right? Well, the New York Times is claiming that Microsoft faced just such an...

In recent years, there have been very few companies that have had as grim a future as Research in Motion. Time and time again, it seems like the final straw for the company lingers right around the corner, yet it continues to coast along - somehow. Now, don't get me wrong - I don't want to see...

When Apple announced its latest iPhone, rumors soon-after hit the Web of leaked benchmarks that placed it well above the competition. With phones finally reaching the hands of fans, though, we're finally able to get some hard numbers, and as usual, Anand wasted no time to get down and dirty with...

Interested in RAID, but not sure which option is right for you? The goal of this article is to clear up any confusion you may have. We discuss what RAID is, what it isn't, potential dangers, differences between popular RAID levels and last but not least, what you need to get yourself up and...

In an effort to prevent projects from over-promising and under-delivering (or not delivering at all), Kickstarter has issued some new guidelines that new projects must adhere to. With so many projects lately being labeled as scams or potential scams, it's no wonder that the company has felt it...

Yeah, this is a headline I had to do a double-take on as well. Despite us hearing about HTML5 for what seems like forever and the fact our browsers can take good advantage of it today, the W3C is aiming for 2014 as the year where it will be completely finalized...

GOG.com has just turned 4, and to celebrate, the company is working hard to make sure you fill your gullet with Good Old Games, newish games and new games, all at great prices. Kicking things off, the entire Atari catalogue on the site is on sale, which has most games priced at a cool $2.39...

Apple has just been awarded a patent that will, once again, leave some scratching their heads. The idea is simple: universal batteries. That is - batteries designed to work in multiple devices. This is a bit different than stand-alone batteries, like AA or AAA, in that it's a special product...

Warning: this might just be hard on the head. Searching for something on Google today uses more computational power than the entire Apollo program - on ground and in space - used back in the 60s, combined. http://boingboing.net/2012/09/19/one-google-query-one-apollo.html I'm almost not...

I am still having a hard time fathoming the fact that some people will sleep outside just to make sure they're one of the first to get the latest iPhone, but it's not uncommon. It's become so uncommon, in fact, that some people have made a side-business out of it, offering to stand in line for...

This story couldn't be more perfect for a Friday. Sophos, a leading anti-virus provider, issued its detection updates as usual yesterday, and while this usually goes off without a hitch, there was a problem with this one. Somehow, the update managed to begin detecting Sophos itself as a virus...

For its $180 pricing, GIGABYTE packs quite a bit into its Z77X-UD5H. For starters, it includes 9 internal SATA ports, 4x USB 3.0 ports at the back, and not four, but <em>five</em> internal 4-pin fan headers. On top of it all, there's an mSATA option and <em>three</em> internal USB 3.0 headers...

Still don't own Battlefield 3? What on earth would it take? EA to sell the game for $10??? Oh, really? Well you're in luck! To celebrate Battlefield's 10-year anniversary, all of the games in the series, sans DLC for the latest game, is on sale for a cool $10. That includes Battlefield 2142...

It's been quite a while since we last took a look at a Nero product - three years if you count NeroLinux or five years for the Windows suite - so it's about time to end that drought. With Nero 12 set to launch soon, we've decided to take it for a spin and see what it brings to the table - is it...

For those who own phones equipped with it, NFC (near-field communication) has the ability to offer some cool functionality. The most popular example is allowing you to hover your phone over a device at a checkout in order to pay for your order, but other ideas could include swiping the phone to...

I took a look at Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD for the Xbox 360 back in July, and at that time, a PC version had never been confirmed. Well, a month later, it was, and its release happened just this week - and for a mere $10. Is it better than the console versions? Does it play better? Does it look...

Barely two weeks ago, we finally found some hard evidence that Valve was looking to create a video game console, but who knew that the company already has working prototypes and has been hard at work testing them? In talking to Engadget, that factoid was unveiled, and I must say, I'm impressed...

Ahh Samsung, you sure do know how to take a $1 billion settlement case against you in stride. The company, which last fall poked fun at Apple's stereotypical customers, has done it again - this time prefacing the launch for the iPhone 5. This time around, Samsung goes a bit further, amping...

When seeking out a new mobile game, there are two factors I'm a sucker for; puzzle mechanics and lots of color. So it's of little surprise that months ago, I stumbled on Color Fusion for Android, a game I've been meaning to talk about since then. It's a simple game overall, but accomplishes its...

If that 20GB video you just filmed is taking too long to copy over to your PC, don't fret - there's a solution en route. Looking past that fact that you'll need a new camera, the CompactFlash Association has just announced its CFast 2.0 draft specification, which puts CF cards behind a SATA...
