It’s too early to tell if the HTC One A9 will be a success, but considering the lukewarm responses from reviewers, not to mention the controversy surrounding the fact that the One A9 is a blatant iPhone clone, I don’t imagine it will be. This means that HTC’s search for a smartphon

Virtual reality is considered by many to be the future of media consumption, and the New York Times couldn’t agree more. The news agency, which has always been one of the first to embrace new technologies and trends, launched a new app earlier this week that allows users to watch news videos i

If you thought the shatter-proof display on Motorola’s new Droid Turbo 2 was cool, wait until you hear what the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo has developed. Using extremely durable aluminum oxide compounds, a group of researchers from the institute have developed a

Even though Chinese products have improved significantly over the years, the country still has a problem with counterfeit goods, especially on its e-commerce platforms. According to a new report from the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, a measly 58.7% of the products sold on China&#821

Nintendo’s decline over the last decade or so has already been widely discussed and reported on, so I won’t go into too much detail, but the gist of it is that the company simply hasn’t been able to adapt to the modern gaming market. While companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Valve

It may not be the coolest, most futuristic thing to come out of MIT in recent years, but researchers from the institute’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have developed some interesting software that uses Wi-Fi signals to see people through walls. Using a device called RF-Capt

The handful of you that are actually familiar with Ouarzazate will know it as the place where movies like Lawrence of Arabia and The Mummy were filmed, but the Moroccan city is about to become a hell of a lot more significant in a few weeks. That’s because the world’s largest concentrated sola

If even Nintendo hasn’t been able to save its handheld console sales from being eaten away by smartphones and tablets, then you can be pretty sure that things are far worse for Sony. The PSP may have been pretty popular back in the day, but the PS Vita has been a complete failure outside of [&

Releasing smartphones with wacky displays seemed to work for Samsung, so it should work for LG too, right? Apparently not, because the dual-screened LG V10 smartphone that the company released a few weeks back hasn’t been selling all that well, especially when compared to Samsung’s curve

It’s funny how the first enticing handset to come out of BlackBerry in years is also the company’s first Android-powered smartphone, but I’m sure BlackBerry will do pretty much anything to increase sales at this point. What makes the PRIV so enticing is the fact that it brings Blac

Most traditional watchmakers have accepted the fact that they either need to jump on the smartwatch bandwagon or wait to die off, and Fossil intends to do the former. Yesterday, the Texas-based company announced its new Fossil Q line of watches, with the Android Wear-powered Q Founder being the flag

I’m sure you remember that big cybersecurity agreement that China and the United States made a few weeks ago, and I’m sure you’ll also remember how virtually nobody actually expected either of the two countries to respect the agreement for very long. That being said, it’s sti

Dark Souls II wasn’t a bad game by any means, but most gamers can agree that it lacked much of what made the original Dark Souls so amazing, although there were some improvements as well. That being said, Dark Souls III is looking to be everything that the second game should have been and more

It looks like HBO isn’t the only one that needs to watch its back for Netflix, as the company will apparently begin offering Vice-like content in the near future. A recent interview with some Netflix executives left little doubt that the company will be competing directly with Vice within the

With competitors like Apple and Xiaomi absolutely dominating Samsung in China, the company has been forced to turn to India in an effort to reverse its shrinking smartphone sales. The Indian government is actually making this a bit easier for Samsung with its “Make in India” initiative,

In a move that reeks of desperation, some of the biggest names in the PC market have joined forces to launch an ad campaign that’s supposed to drive more people to buy PCs. Dell, HP, Intel, Lenovo, and Microsoft have come together for the first time ever in order to highlight how important PCs

I, Robot is one of the many decent action movies starring Will Smith that have been released in the past fifteen years or so, but there’s nothing especially noteworthy about it, or is there? Whereas most of us probably only remember a couple of scenes from the movies, Elon Musk actually based

Tizen hasn’t exactly risen to challenge Android’s dominance in the mobile market. In fact, it hasn’t really done anything at all, aside from powering a few lackluster smartphones and a handful of smart televisions, but Samsung hasn’t given up on its homemade operating system.
