If you’ve been even remotely keeping up with the tech world this week then you’ve probably heard about the new Meerkat app. Even so, you may not really have a good idea of what it is so allow me to explain. First of all, there’s a good chance that the app is already dead thanks to

Little has been seen of webOS since LG acquired it from HP, aside from a few smart televisions. However, the dead-ish operating system has finally appeared in a device that people actually (somewhat) give a crap about: smartwatches. What’s more is that it actually looks pretty impressive and c

Oculus Rift may have started off as a gaming-centric virtual reality headset but Facebook’s acquisition of the headset’s creators has opened it up to even more possibilities. One of these possibilities could be virtual shopping as a recent poll has shown that two thirds of all consumers
