An All New Flavor Of Jelly Bean

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 […]

Review: Does The Lenovo IdeaTab S1209a Sound Like A Good Deal?

Reuven Shechter — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:10:17 +0000

The Lenovo IdeaTab S1209a is quite obviously Lenovo’s answer to Apple’s iPad. The IdeaTab has a 9.7 inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768, identical to the original iPad and iPad 2. Lenovo’s tablet is sleek at a thin 0.35 inches and a light 1.3 pounds, lighter than Apple’s new iPad and on […]

Google’s Nexus Q Delayed To Add More Features?

Reuven Shechter — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:45:27 +0000

The Nexus Q is a strange device at $299 for a simple media streamer that doesn’t have half the functionality of a much cheaper Apple TV or Roku box. Perhaps that’s why Google has delayed the launch of the overpriced sphere, sending emails out to people who pre-ordererd the device that they’ll have to wait […]

While Techcitement has given a glowing, if quick, review to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, one feature we only touched on is the operating system. Because I’ve been shopping around for a new operating system ever since HP decided to ditch the phone business, this is a good time to put Android 4.0 a.k.a. Ice Cream […]

Your Face Is The Problem

Any good (fictional) spy uses biometrics as authentication – Bond used fake fingerprints, Charlie’s Angels copied someone’s retina scan, and Chuck’s intersect has facial recognition technology. Yet as companies have implemented biometric-based authentications, it’s been laughably easy to beat. Fingerprint locking technology was once thought to be the gold standard in security. Fingerprint sensors popped […]

Voice of Objectivity: That Android Update Chart Doesn’t Matter

Yoni Gross — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:52:28 +0000

With the launch of iOS 5 and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) in the last couple of weeks, the question of Android fragmentation is in the news once again. This time, it’s taking the form of a chart, comparing the upgrade life of various Android devices to different versions of the iPhone. The results don’t […]
