Smartphone theft is getting worse, according to a new report from the FCC. In 2012, about 1.6 million phones were stolen. 2013 brought 3.1 million devices being stolen. San Francisco, a forward-facing tech haven, had the worst smartphone theft statistics, where 59% of all robberies included perpetrators taking their victim’s smartphone. Things don’t get much better on the other side … Continue reading
If your work day is spent sitting in front of a desk, you’ve likely given consideration to a standing desk. You can stand up and stretch a bit while still getting work done, but at some point you’re going to want to sit back down. This means you’ll either have to manually adjust your desk’s height — if it isn’t … Continue reading
Somewhere, in a long-forgotten vault at Paramount Pictures, there must be an old Betacam tape containing the trailer for the real Top Gun, the version that the executives didn’t have the guts to distribute. The one that shows that this is the most homoerotic movie since Ben-Hur. It probably looks like this.
The Sony Pictures hack went from from weird to unbelievable in a matter of days. Now, it’s just scary. Multiple sources are now saying that hackers sent Sony Pictures employees emails threatening to harm them and their family members. Said one employee, “It’s really crazy and scary.”
Sometimes it really feels like the title of this song is true. It sure felt true this week, as we struggled to stay afloat in a seemingly endless deluge of bad news. Thank god it’s the weekend.
When I saw the first trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it felt instantly familiar. That’s very probably because anything Star Wars feels nostalgic but also because, well, we’ve seen all those scenes from the trailer before! Here is the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens remade shot-by-shot with original footage.
Ever since we heard that The Wire would be coming back — and this time in widescreen HD — we’ve felt equal parts joy and unease. Who could turn down another trip through the streets of Baltimore, reformatted for modern televisions? On the other han…
After a number of extensions, negotiations on a new contract between Dish Network and CBS have fallen apart, and the broadcaster’s signals are no longer available on the service in several major markets. That accounts for markets where CBS owns the s…
If you’re a guitar enthusiasts, chances are you’ve come across videos in which professionals are able to shred on their guitars at blinding speeds, and maybe if you just started learning to play, you might be a little lost and confused as to how on earth did they manage to achieve such blinding speeds?
Or maybe you’re such a player and you want to share your technique with the world. While you could go about the traditional route of recording yourself playing the guitar and breaking down the steps, perhaps the Magnet could be an alternative method of showcasing your work. Put together by Troy Grady, Magnet is a smartphone mount for guitars.
As you can see in the video above, Magnet will mount on your guitar by clipping onto its neck. From there users can insert their smartphone, turn on the recording, and begin recording their sessions. According to Grady, the idea came to him when he realized that the original setup needed to shoot such a video was huge, expensive, and heavy, but the Magnet changes all of that.
Combine that with phones like the iPhone 6 which features slow-motion video recording, you’ve got yourself a pretty good tool that you can use to not only record your sessions, but slow down your actions so that viewers will be able to understand what you’re doing. Magnet is currently a Kickstarter project and if you’d like to help it meet its goal, head on over to its page for the details.

Are you looking forward to a new Street Fighter title? Well the good news is that if you are, you might be interested to learn that Capcom has a Street Fighter V in the works. This is according to a recently leaked trailer(which has since been removed) that teases the game, but unfortunately apart from the leaked trailer, not much else is known about the game for now.
What we do know is that it appears to be an exclusive for the PlayStation 4 and the PC platforms. No word on whether it will be released for the Xbox One, although some believe there is a possibility that it could be a timed exclusive and that the Xbox One’s release could be taking place later in 2015.
It’s interesting that there was no mention of an arcade release, although perhaps this is implied especially since the Street Fighter franchise is a well-known arcade game. Still no word on when we can expect the game. That being said, Sony’s PlayStation Experience will be taking place tomorrow and The Game Award 2014 will be taking place later tonight, so there is a chance we could learn more Street Fighter V then.
In any case what do you guys think? Are you looking forward to seeing what Capcom could bring to the table in Street Fighter V?
