One new
robot R2B2, or Robotic Reconfigurable Button Basher is the forfront of the new computer hacking, by allowing a robot to make brute force attacks to smart phones. It isn’t much to look at, the
main componet is a set of robotic fingertips that actually do the key
entering. The robot has, thus far, been used to hack into Android phones
with a fair rate of success.
Acclaimed author and screenwriter Neil Gaiman, known best for his Sandman series and novella-turned-film Coraline, is stepping into game development with a new project titled Wayward Manor. Gaiman says that the story for Wayward Manor didn’t begin as a game, but developed into one as he dived in deeper.
It follows an apparition in a 1920s New England house (a manor, if you will) who’s attempting to scare the house’s new residents out. Gaiman’s teaming with P.B. Winterbottom dev team The Odd Gentlemen to complete his goal — no gameplay is shown in the introduction vid, which you can see below, but it’s described as a “puzzle/adventure game hybrid.” The first piece of the game should arrive “this fall,” according to the video, and it’s headed to PC, Mac, and tablets.

We’ve been hearing way too much about the LG G2 lately, and it’s making us more anxious than ever. We know that LG will officially unveil the new handset on August 7, but leaked details about the phone’s release have surfaced, along with word that Verizon will be a launch partner for the new smartphone.
According to a Korean outlet, LG Electronics’ CFO David Jung says that the LG G2 will release in South Korea in August (after the official announcement), and the US and Europe will be able to get their hands on the new device sometime in September, with other regions around the world getting an October availability.
The report also quotes a different LG exec as saying that Verizon would be a US carrier partner for the G2, which would join AT&T and T-Mobile in the rumored lineup. Of course, the release time frames are always subject to change, but they might not even be true in the first place, so be sure to take it with a grain of salt until we hear official confirmation.
The LG G2 will be the company’s new flagship device, succeeding the Optimus G to become one of the biggest smartphones on the market when it eventually releases. So far, the G2 is said to be equipped with a 5-inch 1080p with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor on the inside clocked at 2.3GHz with 2GB of RAM.
There’s also rumored to be a 13-megapixel rear camera, and the phone will run Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, but now that Android 4.3 is out, LG may launch it with the latest version of Android, but we’ll ultimately have to wait and see what they do come August 7.

Check out this awesome jacket made from Comic-Con swag bags. It looks like something the Riddler would wear. Or that guy who used to do late night infomercials, who also dressed like the Riddler. I think we have a new villain on our hands. I will call him Swagger!
Most people cosplay as characters that already exist, so this one stands out and is very creative. It has some amazing style and of course you can’t go wrong with a bow tie and a sonic screwdriver too.
Mad sewing skills there. If you give Swagger a bag, he will give you justice! Or at the very least he’ll give you some eye candy.

Hisense, a company best known for its home theater equipment, isn’t exactly a name synonymous with mobile devices. But with its new, Walmart-exclusive line of Android tablets — the Sero 7 LT and Sero 7 Pro — the Chinese manufacturer is dipping its toe into an increasingly crowded pool. Both tablets occupy the budget end of the spectrum, with the higher-end of the two, the Sero 7 Pro, going for a reasonable $150. For the price, the specs are decent: the Sero comes with a 1,280 x 800 display, a quad-core Tegra 3 processor and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. We dove headfirst into this bargain buy to see how it fares against similarly priced 7-inch tablets. Want to find out if Hisense has the chops to compete? Read on, friends.

When an American aircraft goes down, be it over a remote training ground or behind enemy lines, the Air Force’s crack teams of pararescue forces jump into action. The new HC-130J Combat King II is the plane that delivers them when Blackhawks can’t, even into active combat zones.

When Nintendo first announced that the Nintendo Wii would feature motion control, Sony and Microsoft camps laughed at Nintendo, touting that this is just a gimmick that will die off pretty soon. I guess Nintendo did have the last laugh […]

The good folks at the Wikimedia Foundation have been toying with the concept of mobile editing for some time now, attempting to tap into the 15-percent of its user base who read the open encyclopedia on mobile devices. It’s a growing segment of the population that includes potential readers in developing nations where handsets are far more prevalent than desktops. Of course, mobile editing has been a hard puzzle to crack, given the complexity of tools and the limitations of screen real estate on such devices, but Wikimedia’s been toiling away with beta versions for a while, after mastering photo uploading. Now it’s finally ready to open it up to all users with an account. For more info on getting started, peep the source link below.
