It would seem that one of the biggest names behind the touchscreens you use every day, Synaptics, have made the push for a next-generation solution for Windows 8.1 with Active Pen abilities. What this means for future Windows 8.1 device makers is that they’ll be able to say they’ve got pen support right out of […]

In a way similar to FreedomPop, Scratch Wireless has debuted with plans to bring the masses free cellular service, doing so by utilizing WiFi networks in what it calls a “Wi-Fi First” mobile service.

Coffee. Delicious, wonderful coffee. Some of us are fueled by it throughout the day; to others it’s an occasional treat first thing in the morning or straight after dinner.

Many Pokémon have an affinity to natural elements, a trope that they share with other superheroes. Singapore-based shirt designer Barefists figured it would be nice to mashup the critters to famous heroines that share their elemental strengths in what he’s calling PokePinups.
Barefists currently has four PokePinups designs: Poison Ivy riding a Venusaur, Danaerys with three Charmanders, the Waterbender Katara on a Blastoise and the X-man Storm with Pikachu.
You can get the t-shirts from Barefists’ shop Xmashed Gear for about $22 (USD) each, but if you can get them for just $14 each, $30 for two or $55 for all four plus four A3 prints on his Indiegogo fundraiser. He’s planning to make more PokePinups in the future, but I hope that doesn’t depend on the success of his fundraiser because he’s still quite a ways from hitting his goal of $2,800.
With hundreds of Pokémon this series has a lot of potential. You can have Carrie and Mew, Chell and Abra, Sasha Blouse and Snorlax… man I need to play Pokémon X/Y. I’m way behind on Pokémon.

Lenovo intros the Miix2, its first 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet; coming soon for $299
Posted in: Today's Chili
Remember when we reviewed Acer’s (sorta crappy) W3 tablet, and assured you it wouldn’t be long before we saw more 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablets? Well, with that latest Windows update due out tomorrow, you’d better believe the smaller Windows tablets are about to start pouring in. Now that we’ve heard …
