Looking to kill some more time while pretending to work? Maybe you have a trip planned some time soon. Maybe you are like me and just like to look around at things.

Whether you just upgraded, wiped and flashed a new ROM, picked up a spare phone of the net or bought a new tablet, getting things the way you had them before can be a nightmare. There is nothing more irritating than starting up a new device and heading to the Play Store to get your favorite games to...

As an ex-tmobile employee, I hate to see the company suffer, but at the same time I can say I saw this coming years ago. Not that a call center rep has any say in the matter. The 7 call center closures, including the one here where I used to work, was anticipated by us locals for about a year and a...

On August 2nd Gameloft pushed out a little teaser that included one art work image and news of an Unreal Engine game headed our way from them. It would be the first game that Gameloft has created using the engine and our hopes were high that it would it be stellar. At the time the only thing we knew...

I was wondering when someone was going to have the stones to port some Jelly Bean over to the one that started it all, the T-Mobile G1. The G1 has seen ports of every OS. We were all pretty surprised when it some ICS, and now it gets some chewy candy as well. It is amazing that we are able to still...

Now a lot of you might have gotten off the Angry Birds kick, and no longer play the game anymore. Some of you might not even have removed it from your device. I do not have the original on my phone anymore, but occasionally, I will play the spaceversion. It is only when the mood is right. Well here...
