Sporting Skylake processors and Nvidia graphics up to a GTX 980M, the three new ROG models look like they’ll be bringing even more muscle... Read more...
The Nexus 6 launched nearly a year ago with a price tag of $649. At the time, it was a pretty fair price given the high-end specs that the device shipped with: Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB RAM, 5.96-inch QHD display, and up to 64GB of internal storage. A year is an eternity in the smartphone world, and some... Read more...

Spotify ruffled more than a few feathers when it added verbiage to its privacy policy in August that, at a cursory glance, seemed potentially nefarious. That wasn't Spotify's intent, but to quell the Internet community at large, Spotify has gone back and updated its privacy policy once again, this time with some... Read more...
It's no secret that Google's Chrome browser loves to hog RAM. In fact, it sometimes seems like it wouldn't matter how much RAM is tossed at the browser - it's going to find a way to eat it up. Months ago, I had such bad experiences with this that the browser would lag my entire PC (and that was with 16GB of RAM!), an... Read more...
It seems like eons ago, but in early June, ASUS first announced its second generation Android Wear smartwatch, the ZenWatch 2. The ZenWatch 2 doesn’t stray to far away from the original when it comes to styling, but it does offer quite a few more design options to appease a broader group of people. The ZenWatch 2...

If there's one thing I love, it's beer and graphics. Alright - that might be two things, but when I have beer on the mind, it tends to override other less important brain processes. I imagine it's quite hard, too, for Jason Cohen, CEO of Analytical Flavor Systems. He has to do his job without overdoing the ice cold... Read more...
When T-Mobile CEO John Legere isn’t unloading profanity-laced tirades or needling the competition at every turn, his company actually more often than not actually introduces compelling promotions for customers and new technology features that take full advantage of today’s high-end smartphones. Such is the case today;... Read more...
Samsung had lots to show off at the IFA event in Berlin, and while some of the focus was on high-def TVs as we'd expect, there was also an unveiling of a product we might not have expected: An "Ultra HD" Blu-ray player. As hard as it might be to believe, Blu-ray content has now been available on the market for over... Read more...
It looks like the non-patch update for Windows 10 may be arriving a little later than expected. The update, known as Threshold 2, appears to be moving from an early October release to a November release. The update is expected to bring with it some stability-related improvements and few minor new features, but the one-month delay isn’t likely Read more...
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk knows how to keep his company in the headlines.

Perhaps it says something about my smart aleck personality, but I continue to enjoy T-Mobile CEO John Legere's antics. Admittedly his brand of humor is an acquired taste, one that's detestable if you're on the receiving end, as evidenced by a Twitter spat between Legere and Sprint boss Marcelo Claure.earlier this...

Back before smartphones and Internet were a part of our everyday lives (yes, such a time existed), the popular way to kill time at work was to play lightweight Windows games like Minesweeper, Solitaire, or my my favorite, SkiFree. These days? It's looking up cat memes and YouTube videos. Alternatively, you can brush... Read more...

Qualcomm has been hyping the heck out of its Snapdragon 820 System-on-Chip (SoC) and if it lives up the hype, it's going to be one hell of a chip.

As consumers, the sheer number of different codecs available for a given media type can be downright frustrating.
