Today the CyanogenMod software universe expands with the app ecosystem called CyanogenMod Installer. What the team at the alternate-Android software team’s intent is with this software is to take the otherwise convoluted process in loading the CyanogenMod software to a smartphone and turn it into an “anyone can do it” experience. In other words – […]
All the way back in 2011 we had our first look at the Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera – well before it was ready to be manufactured as a consumer product. Here at the tail end of 2013, taking full advantage of the current craze that is crowd-funding, the same fellow who headed the project two […]

It’s always fun to get a sneak peek at what Google has in store for its users, and Tony Ruscoe managed to get a glimpse at a future Google Docs feature. He said that “after playing around with one of Google’s not-so-private experimental sites, I can confirm that offline access is currently being tested.“
The offline access works with Google’s very own Google Gears, and handles itself similarly to Google Reader’s offline access. Tony was only able to view the documents in the document list right now, and got an error message whenever he tried to open one of them for viewing or editing. He was, however, able to successfully rename and star documents which were then synchronized once he reconnected.
Here’s a screenshot from his endeavor:
While it is still pretty rough around the edges it is nice to know that offline access is in the future plans for Google Docs. Assuming that the offline access also provides editing capabilities this could give Google the edge they need to compete with desktop applications.

Sony’s Music Video Recorder may well be the camera sleeper hit of the holidays. Think of it as the ill-fated Flip Video – or, indeed, Sony’s own Bloggie alternative – given a pro-audio upgrade, ostensibly targeted at bands and recording artists looking to make music videos and recordings simultaneously but, as we discovered when we […]
Just weeks before the release of the PlayStation 4 we’re taking the time to dive in with the most important piece of equipment outside the console itself: the DualShock 4. This handheld wireless (or wired) device is made by Sony itself, returning to the market to re-claim the throne as the highest-quality controller on the […]

Apple released a pretty big update to the Safari 3 Beta browser for Windows this morning. One of the most notable additions is the spelling and grammar checking, which can be done inline if you so desire. To have Safari check the spelling while you type just right-click in a text box, go to Spelling and Grammar, and then tick the Check Spelling While Typing option. As you can see above it underlines incorrect words with a dashed red line.
One of the other big features is the ability to perform a full history search. If you pull up the browser’s history and start to do a search it will scan all of the text for your visited websites, instead of just the titles and URL’s. This is almost like what Opera 9.5 offers, except that Safari’s isn’t searchable directly from the address bar.
There were also improvements to security, stability, compatibility, keyboard shortcuts, and several more features:
If I didn’t know better I would almost say that Apple is trying hard to provide a decent version of Safari for Windows users. Who would have ever thought it would come to this?

With the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat, Google begins an age in which their Google Now service is right up front and center – and you can opt-out from the outset. What you’ll find when you first start up the Nexus 5 is a series of option pages, much like versions of Android before […]
Sony has done a little recycling with the RX10 camera, but when it’s re-using the 20.2-megapixel sensor from the much-loved RX100 Mk.II we can’t complain too much. In the compact, the 1-inch Exmor R sensor targeted street photographers and those who didn’t want to necessarily sacrifice image quality despite having a camera that could fit […]

It took long enough, but at least it’s happened now. StumbleUpon has seen the light of day, and decided that it might be a smart move to create a version of their popular toolbar that works without installing anything. That’s right, no add-on or extension needed!
How does it work? Right now they have a web-based version of the toolbar that essentially embeds itself at the top of the sites you visit while stumbling. If you want to use this, however, they recommend becoming a registered member and joining the Beta group. By doing that you should be given access to the web-based toolbar immediately. Once you’ve done that try browsing to a category, and then click on the category title to start stumbling in that particular category. Alternatively you can give it a quick whirl just by stumbling this article using this link. You should immediately be able to see the toolbar whether or not you are logged in or registered.
This web-based toolbar still isn’t as nice as the full-fledged add-on since it doesn’t let you do things like quickly switch categories, but it will still make for a great time killer. Plus the fact that it works in Opera, Google Chrome, Safari, and just about any other browser should help make a lot of people happy.

Sales of dedicated cameras may be struggling across the industry this year, but Sony isn’t letting the segment go without a fight. Having already impressed us by putting a full-frame sensor in the compact-scale Cyber-shot RX1R, now a similarly huge CMOS has cropped up in the new Sony A7 and A7R, two compelling Alphas that […]
