GameCrush, which has been in private beta testing since March of this year, has gone live. It's an obvious idea since most gamers are men: get them to pay to hook up online with attractive women and use their joysticks, er, play video games with them. To be clear, the PlayDates, as they are... Read more...
Free phones on Fridays? That's what Best Buy announced on Tuesday at its Holiday Preview event in New York. Free Phone Fridays will run every Friday in October, and starts Oct. 1st.

As we've noted more than once here before, as NAND Flash technologies evolve, SATA will go the way of the dino. It's not going to happen over night but like its old, spinning hard drive counterpart, the writing is on the wall.

Zotac recently launched a couple of revamped ZBox nettops, that feature a new, sleeker design and integrated Blu-Ray drive, the ZBox HD-ID33 and HD-ID34.

Nettops are not nearly as popular as their mobile contemporaries, i.e. netbooks, arguably due to the lack of any significant horsepower within the tiny machines. Up until now, most nettops have been good for little more than basic Office duties, Web surfing, and occasional 720p (max)... Read more...
3D, 3D, 3D. You can't look around the consumer electronics world for 10 whole seconds without something popping out at you that requires 3D glasses, and now LG is joining the fun.

Just $43.73, which only applies to the parts, and not the cost of labor, the so-called Apple Tax, and everything else that jacks up the price more than... Read more...
Travel back in time a few years ago and there's no way you're picking up a respectable gaming notebook for $1,500. Today? A $1,500 investment nets you a potent machine that's more powerful than some desktops, as is the case with Acer's new Aspire AS8943G notebooks. Available in two... Read more...

As expected, RIM on Monday unveiled its tablet at the company's 2010 DevCon conference.
