Happy Monday my Android friends. Time for some Device Updates in your face. Galaxy S III users will be happy to try out some Android 4.2.2. The download is still a test build, so there still might be some bugs. Couple of HTC updates are talked about as well. Enjoy the video! Device Updates Android...

Google+ received a nice update today that bumped up the build number to 4.0.0.46852618 from 3.6.0.44338848. This update brought all the amazing features of their Photos service to the mobile app. Just in case you don’t recall, Google announced some pretty damn amazing Photo features that will...

Remember that lengthy keynote back in February, when we all were waiting for Sony to unveil the PlayStation 4? We waited through all the speeches, saw a few new games that were coming out, and we all cringed when we found out the controller had a share button. That was all fine and dandy, but where...

About a month ago, we covered a preview for the game Quadropus Rampage, a new game from Butterscotch Shenanigans. In the month since then, the game has entered the Beta stage and quite a few things have changed in the game, so we’ll go through a few of those things now. The menus have been completely...

Fighting games, or “button-bashers” as they are fondly known as, are far and few between on Android as the act of bashing buttons is significantly less satisfying on touchscreens (disclaimer: is probably not the actual reason for lack of fighting games). Also quite rare are games that fully...

Many of us foresaw the demise of the Nexus Q, our media streaming friend from Google that never quite took off. This much was alluded to this week when Google announced its improved Google Play Music service, which does not support the Nexus Q as confirmed by Phandroid. If this already wasn’t...

If I said the words “random gun generation”, what game does that make you think of? For many of you gaming folk, it would probably remind you of the triple-A title Borderlands, but after this reading about this new Kickstarter project, you might start associating that phrase with a game called...

One of my primary gripes with Google Glass at its launch was the fact that it did not cater to individuals that already wear prescription glasses; as someone who has to constantly wear glasses, I already have enough trouble trying to watch 3D movies. There have been murmurs and reports that Google has...

Samsung’s second generation of TecTiles went on sale today. Samsung Mobile describes them best: Samsung TecTiles™ 2 are the next generation and evolution of TecTiles, programmable NFC sticker tags that allow users to automate everyday functions of a smartphone through a single tap. TecTiles...

Rovio’s latest take on Angry Birds Seasons includes 30 new levels centered around magic and circus themes, right in time for World Circus Day. The Angry Birds Seasons edition takes place around the world’s celebrations. With over 300 levels, the birds celebrate seasons like Christmas, Halloween,...

Some Sprint HTC One users (including myself) have noticed that the capacitive back and home buttons have issues. Every once in a while, they won’t register a tap no matter how hard you try. This has been frustrating at times. Sprint released a minor OTA update today to fix that. It increases...

There is one game from my childhood that I got so frustrated with I almost threw away my GameBoy. That game was Karateka. Many of you will remember Karateka from even further back than that and will reminisce about it very fondly. Although there has been a remake released this year for consoles, the...

I have had the honor of being a Technology Author for about 3 years now and it has been a blast. I have reviewed app, products, and even done a few editorials. After these 3 years I have learned a few things and have made my share of mistakes along the way. From what I have learned I have decided to...

Today at Google I/O, Google officially announced its new games service, Google Play Games, and this was very exciting because we didn’t see this coming. Google announced that Google Play Games would have features such as achievements, leaderboards, cloud data sync and real-time multiplayer which...

While watching the live feed of Google I/O 2013 (still bummed I couldn’t go) I saw them demo a game on Google Chrome. This game is called Racer. It is the same concept as the slot car racing games because it allows you to go as fast as you want by tapping and holding down on your screen. Now...
