I try to distance myself from the whole Mac versus PC debate. They are both extremely capable and wonderful machines, and I’ve spent enough time owning and working with both to know they each have their strengths and weaknesses. But you know that misconception people have about Macs being somehow immune to viruses and malware? That bothers […]
The Canon EOS 5D has quite the reputation in the world of digital cameras. The original model brought us the first full-frame DSLR in a standard body, and the updated Mark II brought us video recording and helped fuel the DSLR video revolution back in 2008. It should therefore come as no surprise that fans of […]
So, remember when Microsoft bought Skype back in May? The Android and iOS communities all buzzed with rumors that Skype’s development may slow down or even disappear on other mobile platforms, favoring integration with their own Windows Phone products instead. Thankfully that wasn’t the case, as Skype has released numerous updates for other platforms since […]
Its always fun to see brilliant tinkerers repurposing old devices. To follow up on Daniella’s Neatdesk Desktop Scanner review earlier today, here’s something a bit unorthodox you can do with a digital scanner: make it sing.

Researchers at MIT have recently shown off the world’s fastest video camera, clocking in at a whopping trillion frames per second of video recorded. To put this into a bit of perspective, keep in mind that feature films are recorded and played at 24 frames per second. It’s unclear if the nerves between the human […]
If you’ve noticed that modern smartphones are beginning to look strikingly similar, this new budget handset from Samsung will be a breath of fresh air. The Samsung Double Time is an AT&T branded device that earns its namesake from the use of dual displays. That is, instead of having the keyboard slide out like other […]
Hold on a minute, Samsung, Nokia, and Motorola, don’t close up your feature phone shops just yet! While I respect the enthusiasm of Reuven’s Smartphone activation story, the truth is that the smartphone market still has a way to go before it even comes close to outnumbering standard feature phones.
