Outside of Hollywood, lasers mounted on sharks is a technology that may never be realized. But in hard drives? The mad scientists at TDK on working on this very thing, and once completed, it has the potential to more than double the capacity of today's hard drives. This isn't a theoretical technology that's still years or decades away, but...

Well, isn't this quite the bombshell? Sprint was steadfast in their support for WiMAX, despite the fact that T-Mobile's 42Mbps HSPA+ network (and especially Verizon Wireless' LTE network) was faster. WiMAX was widely seen as the first "4G" implementation in America, but being first isn't always the best tactic...

Size matters, sure, but so does power efficiency. It's becoming an increasingly important thing this day and age, with power constraints becoming all the more evident and efficiency numbers becoming just as important as diagonal inches, resolution specifications or asking price.

New tablets? Naturally. These things are flowing like wine at an afterparty these days, and now even a company by the name of eFun is jumping in on the... fun. The company has just announced their new $300 Nextbook Premium 8 Android-based tablet, which -- perhaps not surprisingly -- looks a lot like most every other Android tablet coming out...

Is Sony considering removing the "Ericsson" from Sony Ericsson? Perhaps. These rumors have been around in some form or fashion for years now, but they're seeming to become more and more intense as time passes. Years back, SE axed many employees as the iPhone and other Android smartphone manufacturers began eating their lunch (to put it nicely)....

It's unclear to us why the death of Steve Jobs has hit us hard. We never knew him personally. We love Android and hate the iOS closed model. Despite that, while watching the videos when writing this, we would tear up, occasionally. Is it because his age isn't that far off of ours? Whatever the reason, farewell, Steve....

While Apple hasn't released exact sales figures yet, AT&T said that in its first 12 hours of sales it sold 200,000 iPhone 4S units. In addition, there is indication that demand is high, and across the board: Apple's online store is now sold out of iPhone 4S pre-orders, on all carriers, with shipping now taking 1-2 weeks. That would mean...

Sometimes, images are worth a thousand words. Sometimes, videos are worth even more. Steve Jobs is the man most commonly associated with Apple, but he's actually just half of the duo that created the company. Steve Wozniak, the other Steve, is the vital second part. Woz considers himself the engineer of the two, while Jobs handled business....

Looks like Lenovo's toying with new ways to get you typing. The company has just introduced the new N5902. That's not telling you much, but the photo below just might. It's a unique, portable keyboard, but it's actually much more than just that. It's a "multimedia remote," complete with L/R click buttons, a keyboard and even a trackball mouse...

Roku, Popcorn Hour, Amazon -- who in the world do you choose these days? Streaming options are boundless, it seems, and Western Digital is dead-set on continuing to be a player in the industry.

During Leo's final days at CEO of HP, there was a lot of talk regarding the personal PC business, and the company's future relationship with Autonomy.
