The nation is all ears today as President Obama delivered his State of the Union address. As such, it will be highly unlikely anyone will miss the President’s special mention … Continue reading
Who would have thought 20 years ago that one day down the road, one’s favorite video game could eventually end up being streamed from a server somewhere halfway across the world? I certainly did not see this coming, and always figured out that cartridges and CDs were the next best thing since sliced bread (with butter on the side, of course). I guess things have really changed – and for the better, too, now that we are slowly moving away from physical media and to the cloud. Having said that, Sony has begun to roll out the private beta testing phase for PlayStation Now, where they have emailed the relevant parties with a confirmation link alongside a bunch of instructions on what will happen in the near future.

Artificial intelligence has certainly improved by leaps and bounds over the years, where machine learning has been implemented to help out humanity including the possibility of discovering a potential cure for HIV. It looks like there are other avenues to take advantage of machine learning such as the realm of arts. MIT PhD student J. Nathan Matias has decided to take the popular machine-learning Android app known as Swiftkey to have it play with several of the Bard’s (that’s Shakespeare for you) more famous words, resulting in a bunch of sonnets that might just melt the heart of the party you’re trying to impress.

Whether you like it or not, tablet photography is here to stay — it’s only fair that slate owners get a fair chance at taking nice pictures. Sony certainly thinks so, since it has unveiled a new mount, the SPA-TA1, that attaches its QX lens cameras …
Drones could very well end up as the next big thing, as we have seen some pretty interesting drones make an appearance in recent times. The thing is, a new question concerning the privacy of folks around you is raised – will drones that are equipped with high resolution cameras be able to infringe on your neighbor’s quiet time as he or she lazes by the pool, sunbathing while your drone hovers over their property? I suppose to each problem there is a solution, and the Drone Shield system might be here to stay if drones take off among the masses.

Pete Seeger—folk icon, hippie messiah, political and environmental activist, all around national treasure—died late last night at the age of 94. In honor of his innumerable contributions to American culture, here he is in 1946, narrating lan Lomax’s documentary on the evolution of folk music.

What do you think is the ideal size for a particular tablet? Would 7″ cut it for you, or are you the type who would not settle for anything else other than 10″ at the very minimum? Well, Samsung has been well known for targeting just about the entire spectrum of the market in the world of consumer electronics, and you can tell how they have a TV, smartphone and tablet for just about anyone and every one. The Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2 Pro (which recently went by the FCC and gained its approval) is already available for pre-order over at the UK, where this high end Android-powered tablet has been slapped with a £649 price tag – which is roughly $1,076 or €788 after conversion. “Ouch!” for your wallet would be the appropriate response.

We did talk about Terrorblade yesterday which will make a debut over in DotA 2, and here we are with confirmation of Phoenix as another DotA 2 addition, which will be part of the New Bloom Festival on its third day of the reveal. It was pretty much a no-brainer or an ‘open secret’ if you want to call it that, considering how Valve was not exactly being conspicuous about the Phoenix after dropping hints concerning rebirth and renewal. While it is not exactly that huge a surprise, it should still generate a fair amount of excitement and buzz as the Phoenix/Icarus finally makes its way to the DotA 2 roster.

They say that too much of a good thing is bad for you, and I suppose that is generally true if you were to eliminate money and possessions from the equation. In the latest Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition, it does seem that one would overdose on the number of Dukes spotted in there, where it depicts the addition of 8-player deathmatch and co-op. Those of us who know Duke well enough will figure out that he himself would think that there is but one true Duke. I suppose it is up to the 8-player mayhem to let the Dukes, er, duke it out (pardon the pun) so that only one will stand in the end as the bona fide Duke.

Syncing Evernote content was quick when most users had just a handful of notes, but times have changed — many people are now transferring pictures, presentations and web clips. The company may keep up with that seemingly insatiable demand, though, …
