I can’t really say crappy computers are to be blame for slow virtual reality adoption, because there’s not really anything to adopt at the moment, but they will be to blame. At least, that’s what Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey claimed in a recent Reddit AMA, saying that crappy com
Ford’s new Smart Mobility initiative has been drawing a lot of attention from the media, and it doesn’t take much to see why. The initiative is primarily focused on making advancements in autonomous vehicles and connected cars, and part of that involves delving into the world of cloud-ba
HTC released some solid smartphones last year, but with how ridiculously competitive the mobile market is, being solid isn’t nearly enough, and HTC is paying the price. Those solid smartphones earned the already struggling company a 35% decrease in sales in 2015. Should this trend continue, th
Samsung may have nailed the design of the Galaxy S6, but the hardware and software failed to impress users enough to generate as many sales as the company had expected. Things will be different with the Galaxy S7, however, as Samsung will be using the same design as the Galaxy S6 so that it can [&he

Google may provide us with some of the most-detailed maps that are available on the Internet, but its reliance on its own fleet of customized mapping vehicles severely limits how quickly its able to update these maps.

Not content with being the largest smartphone maker in China, and the third-largest in the world, Huawei has spent the last few years trying to expand into the semiconductor market with its own mobile chipsets. The expansion has actually been pretty successful, and the company’s newest Kirin 9
