There’s a new game in town. The Half The Sky Movement, which works to create opportunities for women around the world, has rolled out a new Facebook game with a charitable purpose. Half The Sky Movement: The Game allows players to follow an Indian woman named Radhika on her journey through her village and then around […]
Today marks the first birthday of Google Play (even though it’s been around as Android Market since 2008) and the company is celebrating by offering you major discounts (i.e. free for many choices) on some of its most popular games, apps, books, books, TV shows, and movies offered through the store. Here’s a short list […]
I’ve always rather admired HP’s Slate tablets. Traditionally aimed at the enterprise market, these were full Windows tablets. Despite being saddled with an operating system that wasn’t touch-intuitive, HP lavished the industrial design on the Slate line that the lamented TouchPad lacked. While consumer tablet production halted a year and a half ago, HP made […]
Mobile World Congress kicked off only hours ago, and Samsung has already garnered a heck of a lot of buzz for the Galaxy Note 8. While you may think an 8″ device sporting Android 4.1 with TouchWiz is a tablet, Samsung has thrown phone functionality into the Note 8. We live in a world where […]
According to the sales statistics of Apple, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon, everybody loves e-books. The economically-priced readers; the ability to store and transport an entire library effortlessly and less expensively; the added benefits of highlighting, annotation, simplified note-taking, searchable text, and inserted ancillary materials.

Old-fashioned dating has been supplanted largely by online dating communities such as eHarmony, OKCupid, and Match.com.

Today, in Bexar County, home to San Antonio, Texas’s lovely second city, they’re getting ready to open the United States’s first fully electronic public library. The new system will allow patrons to download thousands of e-texts from their homes. This digital library will also have a bright, shiny new high-tech central library branch where […]
Griffin announces the PowerDock 5, a solution for simultaneously charging up to five of your favorite iOS devices (even if all five are iPads in bulky cases). The toaster-like platform features adjustable plastic dividers and separate USB charging cables to attach to each device. The PowerDock should be available by Spring 2013, with a retail […]
I’m kind of nuts about android keyboards. I’ve tried them all, even the weird ones, but I always seem to come back to Swype. It is simply the smoothest interface for one-handed touchscreen input, as far as I’m concerned. At least, it was. The other major keyboard contender has always been SwiftKey. Predictive typing that […]
In the past five months, my Nexus 7 has become a vital part of my daily routine. Compact, lightweight, and feature-rich, it’s everything I want in a tablet. Or at least, it was when it came out. Let’s be honest, I can never be quite satisfied with my gadgets, and the moment I get one […]
