We’re fairly fond of Samsung here at Techcitement. They make good products, are kind enough to send us review units, and invite us to events.

This study surveys 2,800 professionals and college students 30 years old or younger from 14 different countries. Nearly half of respondents (62 percent of employees surveyed and 55 percent of […]
Facebook. Why? No, seriously, why? Do I even need to discuss it at this point? You’ve logged in by now. You’ve thrown up your hands in disgust.
