Hasta La Gadget!

Well folks, we’ve reached the century mark. The publication started nearly two years ago has churned out a collection of 100 issues with a bit of blood, sweat and tears shed along the way. In this celebratory special edition of our weekly, we gathered up our favorite tech of all time. From smartphones to tablets and laptops, there’s quite the collection to take in. Heck, we even have a blender that blends! Eyes-On takes an electric ride to the Golden Gate, Weekly Stat examines this e-mag’s lineage and Visualized checks in at Comic-Con. All the requisite download links are down below, so join the party — and here’s to another hundred issues.

This week Distro hits its 100th issue. We’ve seen plenty of great content since launching the tablet magazine in October 2011, but one particular section has always been a personal favorite. Hidden at the back of each issue, The Strip features a rotating cast of cartoonists devoting a few panels to the day’s tech news. Since launch, we’ve had a number of top indie artists contribute, including Shannon Wheeler, Box Brown, Dustin Harbin, Sean Pryor, Sam Henderson and Ed Piskor. In the off-chance that you haven’t read every issue — or you just never quite made it to the end of each — we’ve pulled together ten of our favorites cartoons in Distro history. Check those out below, and be sure to pick up the 100th issue later this week for a special take on the future of consumer electronics.

In the latest installment of our weekly collection of queries, Next3D CEO David Cole — also know as the gentleman making 3D TV and movies for the Oculus Rift — chats up punitive email measures and iPhone dependence. Join us for the full gamut of responses residing on the other side of the break.

And we’re back! After a week off to consume as many summer cookout foods as possible here in the US, our tablet mag is returning to action. This time around, we take a look at how Facebook has taken your identity and turned it into a profit-making online entity. We also put the Razer Blade 14 and Samsung Galaxy Mega through their respective paces to see how they stack up against the competition. Eyes-On peeks at Wacom’s Cintiq 13HD, Switched On examines the plight of the Nook and Visualized takes a look at printed pastures. Hopefully the week off gave you time to rest up, because our return is jam-packed with slate-reading goodness.
