Hasta La Gadget!

Over the course of this past week, gaming-minded geeks descended upon Los Angeles for the industry’s annual summer shindig. In the latest issue of our slate magazine, we hit the show floor at E3 2013 to offer up impressions of the latest gaming gadgetry. We also chat Wii U with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, examine the uphill climb for said console and look back at the history of the entire event. There’s loads more of game-centric goodness packed into this edition, so we’ll let you get to it via the usual download sources.

It’s quite easy to give Verizon a hard time for some of its consumer practices, but the carrier has a lab where it’s attempting to reverse the ‘dumb pipe’ moniker with next-gen connected tech. In this week’s issue of our tablet magazine, Darren Murph visits the outfit’s Innovation Center to catch a glimpse at what goes down inside. Eyes-On takes a gander at a retro-styled Fujifilm camera, Recommended Reading considers our cyborg future and Weekly Stat tallies online sharing. We won’t hold you up any longer, so get to downloading via those links just down below.

Earlier this year, about 2,000 of our closest friends in the San Francisco Bay Area came by and, together, we had ourselves a heck of a time. The first ever Expand was filled with electric cars, UAVs, great speakers and, of course, a plethora of great gadgets and giveaways. It was so much fun that we just knew we’d have to do it again. So, that’s exactly what we’re going to do. We’re very happy to announce that Expand is coming to New York City on November 9th and 10th. We’ll be at the spacious Javits Center, home of great events like the New York International Auto Show and the New York Comic Con.

And why should you attend Expand NY? We’ll have a huge show floor where you can get your hands on the latest gadgets and devices for consumers — plus a lot of things not normally open for public use. (Attendees of the first Expand got to try out the $2 million da Vinci surgical robot.) We’ll also have an agenda full of great speakers up on stage for you to listen to and to meet. Last time, Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler kicked off a program full of amazing conversations, like a fireside chat with OUYA CEO Julie Uhrman. And, we gave away $25,000 to the creators of the Ziphius Acquatic Drone, winners of our first ever Insert Coin competition.
