If you’re a fan of Doctor Who and happen to have a Nintendo DS, you’re in luck. This new case for the DS not only comes emblazoned with imagery from the latest season of the Doctor (including Matt Smith, the 11th Doctor, surrounded by Daleks) but it comes with a…

Casemods can be cool and often they are very ornate things that I couldn’t hope to replicate because I lack the talent for artistic things. Now a modder going by the moniker “sirleechalot” has shown off his new Bioshock casemod, and this one not only looks cool, it’s something that…

Just about any geek worth their salt knows that a follow-up to the epic 80′s flick TRON… is coming soon to theaters. I also mentioned a while back that real, working replicas of the TRON lightcycle from the flick were being sold on eBay. If you bought one of those

What’s true is that the company is working on Panasonic Cloud Entertainment, a platform with an emphasis on online gaming and cloud-based media. The…

Ever seen the cheesy show Undercover Boss?… You know, the one where bosses pretend to be employees at their companies so they can snoop on what their staff is really up to, then eventually eke out some crocodile tears and token gestures to ease their guilty consciences while they collect

I have spend my fare share of time expressing how much I dislike AT&T’s quality of service in my area. Apparently, AT&T isn’t the only company to take advantage of its customers and provide poor service. Verizon has been busted after an FCC investigation was launched early this year overcharging…

I learned a long time ago you never loan stuff to a friend if it is electronic. I have had netbooks come back packed with malware from friends downloading stuff they shouldn’t be and I have had stuff just plain not come back. One dude loaned out his dSLR to…
