So, if you haven’t heard already…OUYA. For those of you who don’t want to read through the Kickstarter page, I’ll summarize what the console is, as well as what it represents. OUYA is, at its core, an attempt to blow open the last closed market in gaming. That is to say, they’re trying to make console gaming- and console games...

I’m going to be brutally honest here: The YouTube Politics site just plain sucks. Some of you may have tried to view online live video there only to deal with choppy video that barely runs at 3 frames a second (no joke). It’s almost as if you need a quad-core CPU with 1GB of video memory just to view that site correctly – and that’s...

Ultimately, it’s the FCC that has the final say-so on what parts of the spectrum band a wireless carrier can use.

As anyone learned in digital cameras is aware, more megapixels does not equal better quality photos, and even if a modern smartphone matches what your digital camera...

There’s a pretty good chance that you’re reading this article on either an LCD screen or an LED screen. We’re not here to discuss the differences between the two (LED is basically LCD’s prettier, slightly more expensive younger sister). Instead, we’re going to take a look at how your monitor works. How does an image go from an...

So… you want to go Mac, but you don’t want the high price tag that goes along with it, and decide to go used. Where do you go to find good used Macs? Personally, I find the best destination to be Apple Authorized Reseller shops. These are guys and gals that refit/rebuild/refurbish Macs to as-good-as-new condition, and most of the time offer a...
