All the talk these days is of the new iPad and its magical screen. Apple isn't the only one who can do that, you know. In fact, most display makers are looking forward to post-HD resolutions as one of the big...Windows 8 Is Retina-Ready
All the talk these days is of the new iPad and its magical screen. Apple isn't the only one who can do that, you know. In fact, most display makers are looking forward to post-HD resolutions as one of the big...Google’s Amazon Rainforest Street View Ready For You To Explore
Back in August, Google announced that it was teaming up with nonprofit Foundation for a Sustainable Amazon to map a small section of the massive Rio Negro river (tributary of the Amazon) near Manaus. As expected, it took quite...Google Steps In To Defend Hotfile From “Overbroad And Ill-Conceived” MPAA Lawsuit
Cyberlocker services are under attack from every direction: not only are their services looking less and less necessary as more personal file-sharing services (like Dropbox) become popular, but the services they do offer are viewed by the media industry as solely used...Developers: Quick! Get “Retina-Ready” Or Risk Abandonment
I just got the new iPad in the mail, and naturally the first thing I did was load up a few of my old apps and throw some content on there. Oh god! Oh no!
One of my favorite apps, GoodReader, which...The Console That Wouldn’t Die: Neo Geo Gets New Handheld And Fan-Made Cartridge
Children of the 80s will fondly remember the Neo Geo, probably as the unattainable, super-expensive console that existed only in arcades and wishful dreams. For more than two decades it has remained so, and in addition to the arcade machines...Archos Teases G10 XS Tablet With Ultra-Thin Steel Chassis
Veteran tablet maker Archos has released a teaser video of a new tablet they're going to be releasing (we presume) later this year. It's called the G10 XS (the latest in a series of G tablets) and it has a...Encyclopedia Britannica Consigns Print Edition To History
In 1768, the Enlightenment was in full swing, and the printing press was being employed liberally as a method of disseminating knowledge among the (then still relatively few) literate and learned. Few general-purpose reference works existed (the earliest came only a few...UK Researchers Plan Mobile Real-Time Sign Language Translation App
With real-time translation of text common on the web and instantaneous speech-to-text gaining popularity, it seems that transliteration is cool again. But less obvious, and more difficult, methods of input are yet to be implemented. Case in point: sign language. The complicated...DARPA Director Regina Dugan Leaves Defense Department For Google
Today brings some rather high-profile recruiting from Google: the director of DARPA, the Department of Defense's research arm, is leaving after three years of heading the agency to join Google at a "senior executive position."
The news comes from a DARPA spokesman,...Review: Lytro Lightfield Camera
To publish a "review" of the Lytro as it is today is, in a way, very premature. But it's also only fair. The product is shipping and, to an extent, complete. But given the number of features and planned improvements...Wikipedia Completes Transfer Of Sites Away From GoDaddy DNS
Part of the long-running (and far from over) SOPA/PIPA battle was the drawing of lines in the sand by Internet companies. While most recognized the danger of that irresponsible and short-sighted bill and took action against it, some companies supported...Paper Or Plastic?
I have a confession to make: despite having reviewed a few e-readers, and having written dozens of articles about them, I've never really used one. I mean, I've used them enough to know a good one from a bad one, to understand...
