    Lenovo No Longer Producing 8-inch Windows Tablets

    Well when it comes to watching video or reading books, a 8" W8 tablet works just as well as an Android or iPad. In fact, the video playback (desktop app) in Windows is far superior than Android or iPad with zero compatibility issue whatsoever. Unlike other platform you might encounter video...

    Is This What The Windows Start Menu Will Look Like?

    Those who think Microsoft did the right thing to planning to "drop" the whole desktop environment is missing an important point. Desktop environment is truly more productive compare to the split screen approach of "Metro", when you are working on a PC or workstation with big monitor, and proper...

    Surface Mini May Hit Stores After All

    The only way for Surface Mini (which runs on ARM) to be successful is to be cheaper than typical 7" Android tablet. And it is difficult to undercut that. At this point it is really hard to see how Microsoft can compete in this segment without Google first making some major missteps, such as...

    Multi-Rotors, First-Person View, And The Hardware You Need

    Surely permit should be required to fly these things. Otherwise why don't we just allow everyone to drive a car without licence? Or remove all car plate number from all vehicles? At least it should be proven that one is qualified to fly such thing, be responsible for it, follow certain rules...

    Asus Unveils Zenbook ZX500 Notebook With 4K IPS Display

    I can't see the point of having a fast discrete GPU in a ultrabook form factor. How good is the heat dissipation? I suppose the machine will be throttled a lot due to heat built up when gaming?

    Samsung Working on 7-inch Galaxy Mega Phone

    Samsung already has this form factor since 2011. This form factor was sold elsewhere in the world but was never approved here. Look like it is simply a rebranding of an old product. But it is simply too big for most people though as few people use it compared to the smaller size models.

    Samsung Announces Galaxy Tab 4 Tablet Line

    Nothing seems to change much compared to last year model except the OS version. Apparently Samsung only want to offer higher resolution on their premium product line such as Note 10, Tab Pro etc. Without exciting development on both Android and iOS end, the tablet market is likely going to...

    Microsoft's Surface Mini Could Arrive in May

    8" tablet with Wacom stylus? The only real competition is Galaxy Note 8. Asus has one but it does not seem to be very keen on actually selling the product, probably due to low margin

    Security Flaw Found in Steam Guard Process

    some companies tries to identify the range of similar ip assigned by your ISP and won't ask for re-authentication if they are deemed from the same ISP. Blizzard does this. Guild Wars 2 does this as well. But GW2 always failed to detect the dynamic ips are from the same ISP.

    Civilization: Beyond Earth to Take Players to Alien Planets

    Can we have a stick figure graphics mode so that this can be run on a cheap 8" Windows tablet without overheating it and cause it to shut down? :)

    Apple's iPad 2 vs 4th Generation iPad with Retina Display

    Will be surprised if you can still sell your ipad2 2nd hand, considering the alternative options available now which is very cheap and much more capable. Maybe if you tried selling it at $20 to $50. But I think it will be a tough sell even at $50. With that little return you might just want to...
