Nest Learning Thermostat Added to Google Play Device Shop
It didn’t take long for the first results of Google’s Nest acquisition to be seen: The Nest Learning Thermostat has just appeared on the Google Play store. This is most notable not only because Google acquired Nest just a couple of months ago, but also because it’s the first featured product to…..
Codemasters Announces GRID Autosport, Due Out This June
Codemasters has just revealed the next instalment to its GRID series, and if you loved the previous games, chances are good GRID Autosport is going to be right up your alley. In fact, the press blurb for Autosport could almost directly apply to GRID 2: Immerse yourself in the thrilling and intense…..
Lytro’s Second Camera: The DSLR-like Illum, Priced at $1,499
Back in 2011, Lytro “wowed” the world with its camera that could change a picture’s focus after it was taken, using “Light Field” technology. Overall, the product was very cool, but it lacked the professional appeal. That’s where the Illum could change things. The Illum is a unique-looking DSLR-like camera that features…..
New UE4 Demo Lets You Walk Star Trek’s Voyager Bridge with Oculus Rift
Oculus Rift has been a bit of a hard sell for me; I just can’t see me wanting to game with it all too often, outside of short bursts. It kind of gives me the feeling that the original Wii did when Nintendo released it. But despite that, there’s no denying that…..
Netflix Price Hike Coming – Despite Big Profits
Apparently $1.27 billion in revenue and earnings of 86 cents per share justifies a price hike, if you are Netflix that is. Just one year ago, Netflix showed earnings of just 5 cents per share, and $1.05 billion in revenue. The company added 2.25 million new US subscribers, and 1.75 million new…..
Microsoft’s Office in the Cloud: Office 365 Review
The consumer version of Microsoft’s Office 365 service has been available for a little over a year now, and I’ve been taking good advantage of it for about just as long. At this point, I’ve spent a lot of time being immersed in the entire Office 365 experience, so read on as…..
The Original Game Boy Turns 25
Here’s a bit of proof that time flies: Nintendo’s Game Boy has just turned 25. Released on April 21, 1989 in Japan, the Game Boy wasn’t the first handheld console released, but it was the one that struck the right chord with most people. When it was released in North America a…..
AMD Updates ‘Never Settle Forever’ Bundle, Adds Indie Games to the Mix
Hot on the heels of the ultra-high-end Radeon R9 295 X2 hitting stores comes an overhaul to AMD’s ‘Never Settle Forever’ bundle. At the forefront, AMD’s added an indie focus – and for good reason. At the moment, nearly 1/3rd of Steam’s catalog is indie – there’s huge demand here. At the…..
Do You Love Steam’s Look? There’s a New Windows 7 Theme Just for You
Steam has one of the most recognizable user interfaces ever – it’s clean, straight-forward in design, and dark. If you happen to fancy the idea of porting such aesthetic cues over to your operating system, and you happen to be running Windows 7, you’re in for a treat. If Valve itself were…..
Ubuntu 14.04 ‘Trusty Tahr’ First Impressions
It’s been quite some time since I last used Ubuntu, so with the latest LTS version having just released, dubbed ‘Trust Tahr‘, I felt compelled to give it a whirl. After a couple of weeks of use, I’ll write an “in-depth look”, but for now, I wanted to relay my initial experiences.…..
Netflix & Hulu Are Doing Well at Killing-off Cable TV Providers
Believe it or not, services like Netflix and Hulu are affecting the number of cable subscribers out there. Surprising? Nah – of course it isn’t, and I’m not going to hide the fact that I’m a wee bit pleased at the fact. It’s not so much that I adore Netflix and Hulu; it’s…..
Google Releases Chrome Remote Desktop App for Android
Google’s offered a Chrome-based remote desktop solution since late 2011, but a major missing component has been Android. No – not a solution to control a remote Android device, because that’d be rather niche. Instead, an application that would allow someone to access their PC at home from their smartphone – regardless…..
KDE 4.13 Sees Major Revamp of Semantic Search, Numerous App Enhancements
KDE 4.13 is here, and with it comes an overhaul of Semantic Search, along with numerous application updates. As much of the KDE developer team is focused on the upcoming Frameworks 5, Developer Platform 4.13 is close to 1:1 with 4.11 – the exception is the addition of the search enhancements. Perhaps not too…..
A Steam Feature I’d Like to See: Local ‘SteamApps’ Distribution
At this point in time, I’d have to consider Valve’s Steam client to be “fantastic”. A year ago? I would have had a hard time making such a statement. Back then, I felt that Steam was too lacking in the “common sense” department. Case-in-point: The lacking ability to throttle downloads, or prevent a download from…..
Civilization: Beyond Earth Looks Great, Brings a Couple of Firsts to the Series
Sid Meier’s next Civilization game was announced this past weekend, and for fans of the 1999 classic Alpha Centauri, there were some great reasons to get excited. At the forefront, Beyond Earth effectively follows in the footsteps of Alpha Centauri, and it will bring with it modern Civilization enhancements. Like Civilization V,…..
Look Ma, No Streetlights! Glow-in-the-dark Roads Get Tested in Netherlands
Streetlights are important, that much is obvious. What should also be obvious is that they consume a lot of power. These lights are not just flicked on and off at will, like those in our homes. Once nightfall hits, they click in and remain so until dawn. Given the large amount of…..
Crazy Taxi: City Rush Should be the Next Great Crazy Taxi Game – But it Won’t Be
I’ve been a big fan of the Crazy Taxi series since the release of the first title on the Sega Dreamcast, and I still get excited if I hear a rumor that a new game is en route. But, despite the fact that I’ve been playing the original quite a bit on…..
Dream Come True: Hobby Becomes Job Opportunity for F1 Fan Who Builds Paper Models
It’s not that uncommon for fans of Formula 1 to be scale modelling hobbyists. In his younger days, yours truly spent countless hours collecting and building 1/24 and 1/20 scale models of my favorite exotic and racing cars, F1 cars from Ferrari and McLaren among them. Participating in this particular hobby is,…..
Facebook to Soon Require Use of its Messenger Mobile App to Send Messages
As much as Facebook as a service can sometimes aggravate me, Facebook as a company has done little to bother me. Sure, it’s made some moves that I’ve found inconvenient, but none have caused me to make it a mission to complain about it – not even through a simple status update.…..
Uber’s Hassles Continue, Now Banned from Operating in Brussels
Since its founding a couple of years ago, Uber’s proven itself to offer a pretty reliable service, and a convenient one at that. In fact, I’m betting that some would consider it to be invaluable. It sure beats trying to hail a cab, or talking to a dispatcher who clearly doesn’t care…..
Using Samba to Share Your Linux Folders with Another PC or Virtual Machine
Creating a network share on Linux is quite a bit different than on Windows, but that doesn’t mean that it requires a degree from Tux U. In this article, we take a look at installing and configuring Samba, creating some shares, and then accessing those shares across a variety of platforms. One…..
Adobe’s Latest Creative Cloud Enhancements Make Great Use of NVIDIA’s GPUs
Having been announced at NAB earlier this month, this isn’t brand-new information, but I still find it interesting enough to talk about. A little while ago, I had learned that NVIDIA was working with Adobe in order to enhance RED 4K support within Premiere Pro, and the fruits of that labor are…..
Get Your Voting Fingers Ready: GOG’s Battle of the Games is Here
GOG has just kicked-off its latest iteration of “Battle of the Games“, where users have the chance to vote between two sets of games each day; the winner will then be sold at 75% off, while the other will settle with 60% off. To help get things started, Heroes of Might and…..
Autodesk to Release Subscription-based Maya LT on Steam Later this Month
Steam’s software section hasn’t quite exploded at the seams with titles since its introduction in late 2012, but of what is available, most looks quite good. This is especially the case if you’re a developer; from 3D graphics to audio, there are many solutions available. Steam has been lacking some big names…..
Making Your Speakers Mobile: Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter Review
Have a pair of speakers kicking around, not being used? Want to kick back and stream audio from your phone, rather than sit in front of the PC? Both of these scenarios can be aided with Logitech’s new Bluetooth audio adapter. Connect it to a set of speakers, pair up, and listen.…..
