Chromebooks are relatively cheap starting at ~$200 but even better is free CloudReady Chromium OS + ~$100 Thinkpad x200 from Craigslist + 8GB SD card. This distribution of Chromium OS has become one of my favorite OS'. It has the right balance of security, the fastest browser performance...

Interesting read... http://www.windowscentral.com/microsofts-surface-phone-happening Hope it's really a Surface Phone and not a Surface RT Phone. Makes sense that they recently swept Project Astoria (Android emulation) under the rug and although the versatility would be nice they risk...

This is for you if you're tired of waiting and hitting 'check for update' only to be told 'your system is up to date' with Kit Kat 4.4.4. Factory reset is not performed so all your apps and data should remain. Annoucement...

Got this when I logged into my Verizon account today: Doesn't make sense to pay more when Tmobile service is better for areas I frequent, I can add myself to Tmobile unlimited family plan for $40+tax and it works fine with my Hangouts/Google Voice # so no porting hassle/issue.

Got rid of all my ARM tablets a while back and vowed I would only buy Windows hybrid tablets going forward but have always wanted one with SAMOLED. Then, saw the new Galaxy Tab S2, watched some YouTube videos, 8" is one of the optimal sizes along with ~6" and ~13"+, SAMOLED so no allergy to...

You have one hour left if on west coast. Post if you redeemed it. http://ext.yimg.com/ec?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mymove.com%2FBESTBUY%2Fimage%3Fk%3DjrSeW2CEouzRrS%252Btq44pYwtYaJA%253D&t=1441074365&ttl=4492800&sig=bL8t1fbrwmtRupicvLYOSQ--~C

Found a big ass 6.1" Huawei phone while on break. Fortunately, it didn't have a screen lock. First thought was to leave a voice mail with instructions for the owner to retrieve it if battery dies/miss call/etc. but normally dialing the same # prompts for voicemail password and I didn't...

With 19 day idle battery life with always-on optimized WIFI for voice and SMS over IP it would only require charging about 19 times a year. If a $25 Moto G 1st gen can last this long you'd expect a $700 flagship to be able to do the same if not better. This shames the former 6 day record...

After my disappointment with iOS I set out to discover what limitations the alternative Android has. Story short and a picture to tell a thousand words... What you're looking at is a $25 Moto G 2013 (3rd row) with $25 64GB Micro USB OTG flash storage expansion (20MB/s USB to internal, 13MB/s...

Figured I'd give something for my iPad to do. IRC client is pretty simple and doesn't really need the power and energy consumption of a PC so an ARM device is ideal. Tried a couple of iOS IRC client apps and to my surprise discovered they all have a limitation of running in the background for...

Been resisting the itch while holding out for a good Windows 10 x64 phone or Note 5. Was window shopping for 4K TV-as-monitor but walked out with a platinum gold Galaxy S6 64GB that came with a $25 reward used towards a prepaid Moto G. Never touched a prepaid before but figured even a bad one...

Should've done it out of the box but on a branded Thinkpad Helix2 tablet which I'll be using as the test device since it'll benefit most from the upgrade I backed up the factory recovery partition using Windows 8.1 'create a recovery drive' onto a USB stick. It suggested a 16GB but ended up...

Overheating, throttling, underperforming? No problem. Noticed they also have OIS without a hump. Google should partner with them to reintroduce an affordable Nexus flagship. $2999 Yuan is about $484 USD. http://en.miui.com/thread-110181-1-1.html

What does everyone think? Price point and usability is perfect for school districts like Los Angeles that dumped the limited iPad. Will also displace the overpriced and limited Macbook Air and new retina Macbook. - super light 1.37 pounds and super thin 8.7mm in tablet mode - 10.8" 1920x1280...

Killer deal on a normally $600+ Windows 8.1 tablet with Wacom digitizer pen and without the limitations of iPad and Android tablets since it can run full desktop applications. http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/tablets/thinkpad/thinkpad-10/?menu-id=thinkpad_10

http://www.zdnet.com/article/samsung-begins-14-nm-contract-chip-production/ Super mobile chips are coming. Glad I held off on 28nm to 28nm sidegrade. Question is who is the customer, Qualcomm, AMD?

*** Ends in about 1 hour 15 minutes *** Considered best bang for the buck and normally priced at $179.99. Select the appropriate region for either US or Global. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Moto-2nd-generation-Unlocked/dp/B00MWI4HW0

http://www.fiercewireless.com/special-reports/rootmetrics-verizon-leads-maximum-downlink-speeds-followed-t-mobile-att-and?confirmation=123 Upload throughput is more important to me so I'd go with Tmobile as a backup to Verizon.

http://www.gsmarena.com/kantar_android_takes_a_bite_out_of_ios_in_the_us-news-9495.php Apple needs more than just a "me too" bigger iPad and iPhone to win back marketshare.

That's one nice looking phone and only 6.7mm! I like how the sides are contoured to prevent slippage. Apple should hire them to design the iPhone 7. http://youtu.be/u8OZoyHvX78 http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_alpha-review-1114.php Back cover pattern is nicer than dimples and it's...

Best and most versatile tablet on the market since you can run Android apps on Windows 8.1 Pro x64 with BlueStacks and multi-boot Ubuntu Linux. For comparison Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 64GB is $745 and while comparable in features such as pen enabled but not as capable. Even the very limited and...

Thought I'd share this since a lot of people attempt to stream MKV over WIFI using SMB and give up blaming the mobile device when that's not the bottleneck. Successful high bitrate WIFI streaming for Android requires selecting the right combination of application layer protocol, file explorer...

Looks good and runs smooth adapting to the capability of your device. Tips: - Turn off notification under controls. - If you lost left thumb movement control, it happened to me in Raiders which is like the 3rd mission, toggle weapon from pistol to rifle to restore.

Have heard about these plugs for years that provide network connectivity over existing electrical house wiring. A good compromise if you can't run a cable and if 802.11ac degrades too much with distance and passing through several walls and floors. Decided to pick up my first pair the $69.99...

Is it worth it or asking for trouble on iPad2? Skimmed the Apple support forums and see a lot of reference to battery, WIFI, crashing, no sound, etc. issues? https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=ipad+2+7.1.1+site:discussions.apple.com&start=10

If you're mostly in desktop mode you've probably run across these annoyances. #1 Charms Bar keeps popping up while you're using the Type Cover keyboard and you're not even touching the screen. Fix: Bring up Charms Bar > Settings > PC Settings > PC and devices > Mouse and touchpad and under...

Have always wondered why AMD doesn't partner with Samsung foundry instead of being held back by TSMC so this is very positive news. http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2014/04/21/taiwan-semi-dominance-about-to-end-with-samsung-global-deal-say-analysts/

sxtpdevelopers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-verizon/ Note: You will lose root plus there's no root for this version yet and there's no rolling back to previous ROM versions. If you don't care about any of those then upgrade away.

So cool... Short of renting a helicopter or having superman power this is the next best thing. Could also be useful for tracking down the escaped pet in the neighborhood without breaking a sweat. Amazing how stable it is in flight and auto hovering. http://youtu.be/dOBRJ-tdts8...
