The Motorola Droid 2 doesn’t mean any less business than the awesome jaws of Mike Tyson. What’s common between the phone and the man? Well, they both claimed someone’s ear. The Droid 2 used by Aron Embry of Texas blew up on him when he was getting into his car. In his interview with Fox4 he claims, “I heard a pop. I didn't feel any pain initially. I pulled the phone down. I felt something dripping. I realized that it...
We weren’t ready for this one, though it was permanently perched at the back of our minds that such a revelation was soon to be made. But the announcement of Google’s much awaited Chrome OS notebook has taken us by surprise. It kill-joy is that it will be produced in 65,000 nos. and will be available only for close friends and family of the Google chain. Do not feel disappointed since the privileged few will only get a gist of...

The company, that is known for pulling out ‘parodies of console titles’, made it clear that they aren’t going to give their faithful the ditch.

There was a fair bit of fury from Microsoft’s geniuses when they came around with the realization that the man, Matthew Crippen, 28, who was responsible for the Xbox mod had all charges dropped against him. He was charged with violation of anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The government decided that it was a judgment passed, ‘based on fairness and justice’. The charges weren’t just based on a single offence; Matthew ran a business that specialized...
Data hogs take note; redemption is here. Verizon's 4G is fast but is it really smart? Given that the package gives a 5GB data option, you may well end up using up the whole thing in a mere 32 minutes. The speeds thus offered are so rapid that the line that would normally offer you a max of 21Mbps download when free, would still do as much as 8Mbps transfers when loaded. The reason for this disadvantage of advantage is...
And there are numbers to prove this. And not just numbers, a Nielson report proves that Apple win the oaths of the fairer sex while Google's powerful offering is what the men like to have. When it comes to phone choices, the population is mainly divided by iPhone and BlackBerry users who constitute about 27% of the market share, each. The rest of the percentage is gradually being hogged up by Android phones that are already on the heels of...
The future of computing was to always promise unbelievable capabilities. But this news from IBM's brain boys gives us more than a hint of what lies ahead for at least supercomputers. The chip that the company has developed is spun out of a technology that uses electricity and light, called nanophotonics. With this, electrical and optical elements can be incorporated in the same chip. It makes use of tiny light pulses to power up the speed of chips so as...
Stop looking for the Hallows and settle down for a brilliant experience in a world that comes closest to the world of magic and triumph.

Whimsic Alley retails everything from wizard robes, mandrake, books and a lot more. It's all cool until you see little Dobby peering out at you and oh the pain of...
Microsoft seems to have reflected its loyalty to customers with a lot to spare. Especially after the word of dedicated TV channel for Xbox Live users getting out. The channel will offer a mix of brand new shows as well as old ones played back. There's more said about a possible Fox TV involvement which will mean that there will be good studio treatment to the who thing and that it won't be just another complementary loyalty program. The current...
An exoplanet called super-Earth (a.k.a. GJ 1214b) has become the first alien planets whose atmosphere has been studied and revealed to geeky masses. The planet's atmospheric information can help astronomers get more insights and also give us a gist of what it may be like out there. The planet has either haze or water vapor covering it. The scientists are probing in further to note what the atmosphere of the alien planet is really composed of....
It's no surprise that BBC's much-acclaimed iPad App called the iPlayer is headed to the UK as a subscription-based service. It is after all good to grace your home, first. So what is it that we're really going to be missing out on? The App will give users both news and TV show broadcasts. So there goes another video-on-demand service to the unjustly well treated Europeans. Sigh and forgive fate. We do have more than an excuse of grapes being...
