Who could possible be more qualified to talk about Apple’s primary smartphone competitor than a specialist named “Sam Sung”? It’s a no-brainer, really. He knows himself better than anyone. According to Buzzfeed, this is not photoshopped. Way to go, Sam. You found your true calling….

Abomination: A thing that causes disgust or hatred. A feeling of hatred. In the world of geekness, there are few things held at higher levels in fiction than Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. To butcher a couple of the most important lines and the characters normally associated with them is a true abomination. Here’s the other: …

Sometimes, a video or story requires an introduction based upon the content itself. In this case, we’re better off just presenting the video to you. Make of it what you will. …

As the only true survivor of the entire Skywalker saga, the noble robot R2D2 watched the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker and then helped his son bring about the ultimate downfall of the Empire. He has a hero in more ways than a Wookie can count which makes his current condition so much more sad. If this is how we treat our heroes when they age, what incentive does one have to be so selfless?…

The latest Joy of Tech comic from Geek Culture hits many people in today’s economy close to home. It’s all fun and games until it happens to you and companies are going to extreme measures to make sure that the people they lay off don’t go and bad mouth them on social media. Opinions are often more powerful than facts and the power of social media allows people to spread their opinions in different ways today….

There are certain financial events that seem to happen online instantaneously. When we buy something with a credit or debit card, it comes out of our balance immediately. When we purchase something with PayPal, it comes out of our balance within minutes. When we wire cash from one account to another, it takes no time at all. The question in this week’s Joy of Tech asks a good question. The only thing better than the question is the answer. RIP. …

And just like that, he’s gone. In an unfortunate April Fool’s Day misunderstanding, Conan O’Brien did not buy Mashable from Pete Cashmore for $3500. Instead, he purchased a M.A.S.H. television show fan site. Before he did, he was able to come up with a new way for peopel to Tweet: Here is his resignation from a site that he never actually worked for: …

Google has become one of the biggest pranksters every year for April Fool’s Day. Over the years they’ve put out several clever and enjoyable pranks. This year’s first one is also an Easter Egg with plenty of Google Maps searching for people to do. They went 8-bit, NES-style. It’ll make you want to pull out the original Legend of Zelda and run around the maps from screen to screen. Here is the video as well as some of the best ones that we were able to find. Each is linked to the map itself so click away! …

If looking ahead 25 years were easy, we’d have flying cars and hoverboards. Unfortunately, it’s pretty challenging to predict the weather sometimes, let alone the future in a scale of a quarter century. That didn’t stop Popular Science Monthly from taking a stab at it in 1925 with their vision of a metropolis setting in 1950. Many of the ideas in the drawing are strong, including a clever multi-level transportation concept that separated slow and fast cars from pedestrians, trains, and each other. Self-sufficient buildings would keep people centralized with their day-to-day activities,…

When Rovio CMO Peter Vester appeared at a ball last December, his wife, Teija Vesterbacka, came in a dress that awkwardly “paid homage” to their top-selling game, Angry Birds. This wasn’t just any ball in any venue; it was the highly-exclusive annual Presidential Independence Day reception at the Finnish Presidential Palace.
