Singing Machine has introduced its latest device, the Singing Machine Home. The round device is subtle in design and doesn’t immediately lend one towards thoughts of a karaoke machine, yet doubles as such for those times when one needs to break out some entertainment. The Bluetooth speaker will be launched via Best Buy later this […]
Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested in 1991 and charged with the murders of 17 people whose bodies he dismembered and kept in freezers in his one-bedroom Milwaukee apartment. From the outside he seemed like just a regular guy. The Jeffrey Dahmer Files is the true, disturbing story.

Google TV is dead, and its zombie successor will be called "Android TV," at least according to a report by GigaOM. The branding change isn’t official yet, but it sounds plausible enough. The real question is what does this mean for devices? We’ll have to wait and see. [GigaOM]

A couple weeks ago we covered a new Indiegogo campaign from QSAlpha, a company aiming to produce a super-encrypted smartphone (along with a software-based platform for standard Android users as well). Despite the fact that the funding phase didn’t go so well, the manufacturer recently announced that …
Despite having been around for a while now, Google TV has never taken off in a big way, and some speculated that Chromecast would serve to replace it. Google’s Sundar Pichai put such concerns to rest in July, however, saying that Google TV would live on as a “full-fledged Android for TV.” While the company’s […]

There’s to be no stone unturned, apparently, by the team at Google Street View. The most recent awesome landmark to get a virtual tour courtesy of its off-road cameras is a sacred site for many car fanatics: the Lamborghini Museum at the company’s headquarter town of Sant’Agata Bolognese in the north of Italy.
The Street View page allows users to access a 360-degree tour of 16,000 square feet of museum across two floors, including famous cars such as Miura, Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago, as well as prototypes, limited editions, one-off models, racing cars, V12 powertrains, and marine engines.
Also in the museum, you’ll be able to see the Reventon, which was limited to just 20 models, as well as two museum-exclusive cars: the Estoque and the Sesto Elemento.

You could plug in your old Nintendo Entertainment System, load up a vintage Super Mario Brothers cartridge, and play one of the greatest games of all time. Or you could just pop over to Full Screen Mario and get your fix online.
Josh Goldberg is behind this perfectly reproduced Super Mario remake done entirely with HTML5. If you’re looking to switch things up and you like surprises, then you can play through randomly generated levels. Purists can stick with recreations of the levels from the original game.
Some of the random levels are pretty challenging. One opened up with a barrage of cannon fire that took me out before I got halfway across the screen.
The open-source endeavor also lets people build their own levels with an online level editor. You can squeeze as many question-mark boxes … [Read more]
