Acer is first out of the gate with its $450 Iconia Tab A500, slated for launch this Sunday, April 24th at Best Buy. It’s got a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, one gigabyte of RAM, 16 gigabytes of …
Our annual TIME 100 list is by no means definitive (are any of them really?) but as always our assemblage of movers and shakers cover a wide range of movements and industry: artists, politicians, freedom fighters, rebels, writers, athletes… and the list goes on.

Easily the most anticipated release this year, Portal 2 follows publisher Valve’s physics-puzzler Portal, the 2007 game that instantly leapt onto Game of the Year lists and into the Best Games Ever pantheon. You played as Chell, a hapless human female made to test a teleportation gun in the Aperture Science research facility, hounded by …
I review many, many products. And of those many, many products, many (though not many, many) require that I sign some sort of document saying that I won’t steal, damage or forget to return the product in question.
When I get one of these forms from a PR person, it’s almost always a Word document and I’m almost always asked to print it …
The $70 Wet Circuits 4-outlet power strip is VERY expensive for a surge protector. That being said, the company claims that this one is water resistant and you can stick tweezers into the sockets without electrocuting yourself to death. I tested those claims. Did I die?

If there’s anyone who loves April Fools’ Day, it’s Google. The company has had a tradition of pulling pranks on their users whether it’s the first of April or not. From changing their name to honor a city in Kansas to playing with the font on our search results to introducing a free email account with a storage capacity of 1GB per user …
Tax prep? There’s an app for that. Several, actually.
The folks at Intuit recently gave me a demo of their TurboTax apps: SnapTax for iPhone and Android lets you take a photo of your W2 form and fills in all the necessary blanks automatically, while TurboTax for iPad features everything you’d find with the web-based version of …
“No game in the world is as tidy and dramatically neat as baseball, with cause and effect, crime and punishment, motive and result, so cleanly defined.”
