Clap if you like, or just shrug if you don’t care: Twitter’s finally going to let you upload and share photos directly, through its website. The takeaway: No more Yfrog or TwitPic or Twitgoo for you.
Twitter CEO Dick Costolo told users Wednesday at the D9 conference (wherein a bunch of celebrity tech folk chat with media bigwigs) that …
China’s response to Google’s accusation that Chinese hackers broke into Gmail, the company’s free online email service, and absconded with the login details of hundreds of senior U.S. and Asian government officials, military personnel, journalists and Chinese political activists?
We didn’t do it, and your “unacceptable” attempt to …
Cell phones are “possibly carcinogenic”? Potentially brain-cancer-causing? Comparable to pesticides and the stuff your car spits out? So sayeth the World Health Organization? The reputable science-minded subsidiary of the United Nations?
Bummer. Thank goodness I use ear buds, and don’t talk on the phone much—though when on the go, I …
Clear eyes, full hearts. It might as well be a NASA catchphrase, as the space shuttle Endeavour touched down at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this morning, completing its 25th and final mission (dubbed “STS-134″) and heralding the beginning of the end for over three decades of shuttle flight. Space shuttle Atlantis will carry the …
Care to soar skyward strapped in your very own personal jet-suit? Of course you do. Just not one that’ll light your pants on fire, or cause too much commotion if you’ve just dined on a bowlful of seven-bean salad. And, you know, that’s priced somewhere in the neighborhood of an iPad or iPhone. Apple iFly, anyone?
Just like that, Blizzard’s teasing StarCraft II expansion numero duo details, including a teaser that probably shouldn’t have been teased yet. See what happens when you take a day off?
As expected, the expansion—dubbed Heart of the Swarm—continues Blizzard’s epic sci-fi soap, including scruffy brooding cowboy-type Jim Raynor’s …
The PlayStation 4 exists, surprise! Bet you never saw that coming. Except it’s not called the PlayStation 4—not yet, anyway. But yes, Sony admitted it’s in the offing in one of those indirectly-traveling-from-New-York-to-L.A.-by-way-of-China references.
Perhaps you’ve heard Sony’s PlayStation division posted a profit for its fiscal …
From launch day press coverage bonanza to dismal other-shoe-drops lawsuit, it looks like Google Wallet may have some splainin’ to do. Or at least PayPal and eBay think it does.
Google took the wraps off its new mobile e-payment service yesterday, a service that promises to let you abandon plastic cards and just use your smartphone …
Forget the Moon, we’re going to an asteroid, and this time, we’re bringing a piece of the rock back.
So sayeth NASA, who just announced they’ve approved a robo-spacecraft called OSIRIS-REx (that weirdly translates as “fertility king,” in case you’re wondering) to swing by near-Earth asteroid 1999 RQ36 and scrape a few bits …
“I come from the orcs, we eat with spoons and forks, we love to eat our pork!” That’s the sound of a male orc in online roleplaying behemoth World of Warcraft. In China, it may also be the sound of an orc male working on the chain gang, by which I mean an actual Chinese prisoner playing an orc male in Blizzard’s mega-MMO to rack up very …
You just picked up Codemasters’ grit-flinging, gravel-grinding rally racer DiRT 3 for PlayStation 3, and let me guess—you can’t play online or swap YouTube video replays with pals. Bummer.

Down, down, to offline town: Sony says it’s shuttered online services in Canada, Indonesia, and Thailand this morning after detecting a ne’er-do-well on the (virtual) premises. This, after a 26-day PlayStation Network outage, followed by a veritable spree of copycat hacks.
