At Google I/O 2013, the search company showed off its wearable PC/hipster accessory Google Glass and it’s potential for hacking. In a video called "Google I/O 2013 - Voiding Your Warranty: Hacking Glass”, two Google employees guide developers through the steps it takes to hack into Glass and bend it to your evil ways, if you’re a mad scientist or disgruntled Microsoft employee. We suppose Google Glass can be hacked for good as well, as demonstrated by this impressive facial ...
Here's something for you end-of-the-world Terminator prophets to latch on to. This week we have seen some wonderful breakthroughs for flying robots. It's terribly exciting stuff though, whether you're a Schwarzenegger fanboy or not. Firstly, there was the virgin flight of an unmanned aircraft being launched off an aircraft carrier by the US. Then, shortly after, we heard that the British announced a plane that safely carried passengers for about 500 miles done almost entirely autonomously.
Pilots have been doing automated landings since ...
After much moaning and groaning, EA finally announced that it will discontinue the Online Pass codes policy. An Online Pass is that annoying serial usually featured in your game's booklet or cover and is similar to a PC game's CD-key.
Up until now, many of Electronic Arts' new console and PC games required the Online Pass codes to unlock most of the games' best features. These "bonus" features usually include multiplayer or downloadable content. The catch is that if you bought ...
Google I/O, the search company's annual developer conference had some surprises for us this year as it announced a wide range of changes to a number of its services and apps, but surprisingly enough, no version bump for Android. I am certainly not alone when I say that I didn’t see that coming. Enough about what didn’t happen, let’s look at what did.
Firstly, it was announced that Android has more than 900-million global activations and I for one am blown ...

It's all Sharp vs. Sony this month as competition in Japan seems to be heating up in the waterproof mobile category. Today at a NTT DoCoMo event in Japan, the new Aquas Phone Zeta SH-06E was announced. Apart from the fact that it's waterproof like the Xperia ZR, it also flaunts a 1080p IGZO screen of 4.8-inches. This is the first portable 4.8-inch device featuring Sharp's IGZO display technology.
Inside, the new Android 4.2 Aquas carries a 1.6 GHz CPU which ...
With a surprising head start, NEC dropped the specs of its up and coming LaVie L laptop. This will be rolling out on top of Intel's new Fourth Generation Core Processor, codenamed "Haswell." Come 3 June, we will see a range of state-of-the-art laptop, ultrabook and tablet announcements like this one at Taiwan's massive Computex event. The LaVie L is one of the first laptops supported by the Haswell processor and is for now set at a little less than US$2000.

Nokia’s Lumia 925 is official. While Nokia plans to launch the Lumia 928 today, it’s one-upped itself with the surprise release of the 925, a 4.5-inch Windows Phone with an all-new aluminum body and an 8.7-megapixel PureView camera. The Lumia 925 isn’t going to set the world on fire and for €469 (US$616), it also costs too much.
Priced to move

Networks: GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900, WCDMA, 2100, 1900, 850, 900, LTE 2100, 1800, ...
Google Glass is exciting. It’s the first real step towards hands-free computing and one day, Star Trek-style interaction. Recently though, one user's gone and squeezed facial recognition into Google Glass, with fairly accurate results.
His project is called MedRef for Google Glass and it adds extra cards (same as Google Now) to the Glass timeline. Or as Lance Nanek, the developer of MedRef, calls it “cool medical stuff and facial recognition.”
Users would need to first install the Glassware. The MedRef cards pop ...
BlackBerry has officially the Q5, a Qwerty smartphone running BlackBerry 10 but designed for emerging market countries.
We've known for some time now that BlackBerry would be launching such a device, but in the run-up to its unveiling we had it pegged that it would run under the R10 moniker.
It's unclear how much the Q5 will cost, although we do know that it will come with a 3.1-inch touch-screen. If the leaks prior to the Q5's unveiling are to be believed ...
