For some reason, Sony has been pretty secretive of the pS4, which is most likely going to be fully unveiled at E3 this summer. New details were passed on as Sony explained the new console will support 4K video and photos. Of course, with 4K TV's not so prominent in today's society, it won't be a huge breakthrough. In a couple of years, when 4K TV's are mainstream we will start to notice this massive improvement of technology. Companies have started to realize Apple's way of strategy: to shift services to more downloads and less physical copies. Sony is now allowing every single PS4 title...

  Finally at last. I got a brand new laptop. For those who didn't know, I got a 13" Macbook Air for Christmas and I'm very grateful for this gift. Since Macbook Air's don't have a superdrive, I was looking through some articles and stumbled upon something Asus was creating: a USB superdrive supplement called the Varidrive. It sports a USB 3.0 connectivity along with two additional USB ports, an HDMI, and a VGA port. Isn't that awesome?! It's basically a USB superdrive with a USB hub and a few extras. There is no word on price yet, but I'll be on the lookout for this device. Should...

It's widely speculated to introduce the iPad Mini as the main product of this event. It's funny because a while back, Steve Jobs mentioned that there would be no point to adopt this smaller form factor that the iPad Mini is expected to have. The 7.85 inch display will most likely be the screen size. It's a step down fro the iPad and a step up from the current iPod Touch/iPhone. Obviously, it should feature the new lightning dock connector....

In response to Nikon's D600 a few days ago, Canon surprised us with their new EOS 6D. The new camera is smaller and lighter than the cropped-frame EOS 7D  and is the most compact full-frame camera that Canon has released to date. Unlike the 7D's amazing auto-focus system, the 6D offers a meager 11-point AF system. With these two entry level full-frame cameras out in the market, it's important that we take a look at the various advantages and disadvantages for both the EOS 7D and the D600. Both these cameras have their ups and downs. Admitting that I do favor Canon builds, I have to say that...

// // On Friday, we received news that Sparrow will be joining up with Google, offering a mail client that better incorporates many of Google's services, while still retaining the same Sparrow team. This comes almost 17 months after Sparrow became available. With this merger, this means that Sparrow won't have a team that focuses wholeheartedly on the product. As a result, Google will work more toward retaining the current Sparrow product, without offering up new and amazing features.
