Yes, it’s futuristic, but that ponderous trickle of energy from base station to device isn’t great for impatient types. Sony, however, thinks that it’s solved the problem of slow wireless charging with its latest invention. The new unit, based on a forthcoming version of the Qi standard, promises to …

If there was one thing I was a little peeved about was how Amanita Design’s Machinarium was only available for the iPad, at least as far as mobile device were concerned, but then there is a possibility that some of the detail could be lost if it were translated into an iPhone game, but the good news for Machinarium fans is that if you, like me, were hoping for an iPhone version, you’re in luck as Amanita Design has brought the game onto the iPhone at long last. The game is now a Universal App meaning that if you already own it on your iPad, you will be able to download it onto your iPhone at no extra cost.
The iPhone version of the game will take advantage of the iPhone’s Retina display, Game Center achievements, iCloud saves, and pinch-to-zoom. There is a downside to the iPhone game which is that it will wipe your current save file, but to make up for it, Amanita Design will be offering six pre-saved positions for gamers to choose from, and hopefully one of them will be close to where you last saved. For those who do not own the iPad version of the game, you will be able to download the iPhone version for $1.99 via the iTunes App Store, so get cracking!

Microsoft’s Xbox One gaming console is expected to see a release in November and based on this, we can expect that Xbox 360 sales will slow down as gamers start turning towards the next-gen console. However as it stands, Microsoft has announced that they have managed to sell 80 million Xbox 360 units worldwide, although the catch here is that the 80 million figure is based on the number of units that they have sold to retailers. What this means is that while technically these are considered sales for Microsoft, retailers might not have sold all of the units they ordered, so obviously there is a good chance that there are still a lot of unsold Xbox 360 units out there.
At the same time retailers will probably not be buying as many Xbox 360 units if they do not believe that they are able to sell them, so we expect there are pretty healthy sales figures in there as well. Microsoft also acknowledges that they were beaten by Sony in terms of console sales back in September, but claim that they are still maintaining the title of top-selling console in the US for 2013, and given that this is a title Microsoft has been holding for 32 months, we can comfortably agree with their assessment.

One of the perks of being an Xbox Live Gold member is that you are able to get access to free games on a monthly basis, with titles such as Halo 3 and Assassin’s Creed 2 being some examples. This is part of Microsoft’s Games with Gold program that was launched during E3 2013 earlier this year. It seems that the program was meant to be a limited-time program and was more like a “thank you” for Xbox Live Gold members for their subscription, but the good news is that it looks like Microsoft will be extending the program indefinitely.
According to Microsoft’s blog post, “Within that short period of time, we’ve seen an overwhelming response, with more than 120 million hours played with Games with Gold titles. Today, as a part of the Week of Xbox Live, we’re excited to announce that we are making Games with Gold an ongoing benefit for Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox 360.” Xbox Live Gold subscribers can look forward to two free Xbox 360 titles a month and they will range from blockbuster AAA titles to arcade games, but either way regardless what titles they are, free is still free, right? Who else is pleased by this latest news?

Hollywood has been fighting the battle against file sharing sites for years in an attempt to stop what it sees as conduits for piracy. The legal battle surrounding these file sharing sites ended up with Google blacklisting major file sharing sites such as 4Shared, The Pirate Bay, and isoHunt back in 2011. Getting the sites […]
When you’re the creator of an award-winning iPad sketchbook app, making your own stylus would be a logical move. Unsurprisingly, that’s exactly what FiftyThree, the brains behind Microsoft’s Courier project and developers of Paper, intend to do. The company’s new “Pencil” capacitive stylus has just …
Tiny cameras usually have tiny sensors. A camera that fits comfortably in your pocket almost never has interchangeable lenses. The pint-sized Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 breaks both of those rules, packing the same 16-megapixel Micro Four-Thirds sensor and processing engine as …
