U.S. Customs Halt HTC One X And EVO 4G LTE At The Border
Been eagerly awaiting the HTC One X or the EVO 4G LTE? You may need to wait a bit longer, because The Verge first broke the news that U.S. Customs weren’t allowing shipments of the two HTC flagship devices enter the US. The reason? A patent suit from Apple, alleging that HTC infringed on their […]
Review: Diablo 3 Is A Hell Of A Bad Game
DISCLAIMER: I don’t like Diablo or Diablo 2. Having said that disclaimer, a big part of the reason I don’t like Diablo 3 is because, like its predecessors, I feel the game is a cheap psychological hack that makes players feel like they’re moving ahead and progressing, when in reality, they’re just picking up more […]
Google+ Minus Users
Is Google+ failing? Google has been pushing Google+ since its release, trying to quash the Facebook behemoth before it becomes too big to stop. Google+ has great apps for iOS and Android, awesome features like Hangouts with multiple people, and grew at an exponential rate. But based on personal observation and a new report from […]
Get Frozen In Carbonite Like Han Solo At Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to be frozen in carbonite, just like Han Solo did in The Empire Strikes Back. What can I say, when you are six and a Star Wars fan, being imprisoned and kept as a keepsake by intergalactic gangsters seems like an awesome idea. Now, you don’t have […]
Review: Leave Your Stupid [Articles, Images, And Videos] In Your Pocket
It’s been a month since the popular news reader app Read It Later was rebuilt and rebranded as Pocket. The app is also now free with the change, so if you’ve been staying away from Read It Later because of the $2.99 price tag, now’s your chance. I’ve been using it for a few weeks […]
Kodak’s Secret Nuclear Reactor
If a company in your town had their own nuclear reactor full of uranium, you’d think it would be under constant guard and well known by residents, right? It turns out the Eastman Kodak company kept just such a reactor a secret for over 30 years in Rochester, New York. Its existence was revealed only […]
NASA, Let’s Give It Another Shot
I’m sorry I dumped you for a Virgin. They seemed so exciting at the time, but now I know the truth. I need a more experienced partner. Since we broke up, I’ve done a lot of thinking. I realize now that I focused on all the negative things, and I ignored all the positive contributions […]
The Hottest New Automotive Tech For 2013
Car shoppers are about to see the first real effort by automakers to sell the latest technologies with their vehicles. Until now, car companies offered in-dash GPS systems (often with less functionality than stand-alone counterparts that cost one-tenth of the price), rear-view cameras that switch on when you put the vehicle in reverse. Both Ford […]
AT&T’s Problems Start At The Top
Thanks to the Occupy protests, we’re reminded more than ever of the epidemic of corporate greed, of companies more focused on their current stock prices than on offering quality goods or services, of the trend to outsource jobs while making excuses of being unable to find qualified workers in the U.S.A. Clearly, these stereotypes don’t […]
Apple OS X FileVault Has Broken Lock
As David Emery documented last week on Cryptome, Apple’s original version of FileVault has a serious security flaw, when used in OS X Lion 10.7.3. The authorization process has a debug option left on that logs the password used to access an encrypted volume’s directory tree. In turn, this log file is viewable by anyone […]
