New rumors about the next iPhone sporting a Force Touch display pop up
4/2/2015 6:43:00 AM
Apple is already rumored to be putting a Force Touch-enabled display on its next iPhone and today we have new rumors claiming the same. In particular, the supplier of force-touch panels for the Apple Watch - China-based TPK - is expected to rank in significant profits by the end of the year with the cited reason being Apple's decision to employ such a force-registering display in its next iPhone crop. TPK will not be the sole maker of said Force Touch panels, though - GIS, another China-based touch display maker, is also tipped as being chosen by Apple as a supplier of such displays.
So, you think the iPhone is expensive? Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6 vs One M9 global price deathmatch

4/2/2015 5:15:00 AM
Ahh, the beauty of Android! For the longest time, the world's most popular operating system was maligned for its dark cybernetic looks which resonated more with Tron-loving technological enthusiasts than those preferring the cozy, colorful iOS, or Windows Phone's neatness. However, Android looked progressively nicer, ran more fluidly with each successive version, and reached its design apex in version 5.0 Lollipop. Finally, Google introduced a sleek, distinct and highly conceptual vision of how Android must look as to appease the vast majority of today's smartphone users across all ages.

Original Tomb Raider lands on Android: play as Lara Croft in her 1996 pixelized glory
4/2/2015 4:20:00 AM
'Just' a year and a half after it arrived on iOS, the original Tomb Raider game released back in 1996 for PlayStation and PC, has landed on Android's Google Play Store. Better late than never!
The game focuses on the adventures of young gun-toting archeologist Lara Croft, who travels looking for the lost city of Atlantis and explores the pyramids of Egypt. The game does not lack the retro pixelized dungeouns and the blocky face of Croft - as sad as it is - reminds us of our childhood. Climb that rock, solve that puzzle. All kidding aside, the title is a great play, a true classic offering ...
HTC One M9+ promo shots once again show a home button on the device
4/2/2015 3:40:00 AM
With HTC's April 8th media event now less than a week away, many of you are holding on to the hope that the HTC One M9+ will be introduced at that time. The phone has taken on a mythical aura that now surrounds it. Some of that is because the rumored HTC One (M8) max never was introduced last year even though it appeared to be real.
Thursday morning, a series of teasers leaked out of China, apparently showing off the HTC One M9+. The name of the phone isn't printed anywhere on the shots, although the "More than One" title that HTC has named its event does appear, along with the date of the ...

FINALLY: Verizon enables customers to completely "opt out" of super-cookie tracking program
4/1/2015 11:59:00 PM

Humor: The cycle of smartphones and boredom
4/1/2015 11:30:00 PM
While new features on smartphones are sure to dazzle us for years to come, for much of the developed world, the presence of a smartphone is wholly mainstream, and so, the smartphone itself does not hold the "wow" factor it once did.
The result? First-world-problems. You know how it is, you're grinding away at something, waiting in line, waiting for someone, waiting for something, or (just as likely) you're not doing anything at all. You're bored.
What do you do? Well, you reach for your smartphone. As if to issue a demand, "Entertain me," you flip through whatever notifications you ...
