New data from Nielsen paints a revealing, if not all that unexpected, picture of the current smartphone market here in the U.S.
While earlier this year we saw Android’s lead over both RIM and Apple’s iOS continue to grow, many (including us) expected that extraordinary growth to curb.
Well that didn’t happen.

It’s a weird time for the camera industry.
On the one hand, DSLRs continue to get cheaper and more powerful, becoming more and more accessible to hobbyists and budding pros. Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum sits the iPhone, which unexpectedly became the most popular camera on Flickr (and likely the world), thanks in no …
Why do people hate on Zuck so much? All he does is wear a goofy grin and call things awesome (even when they aren’t) and cover our magazine from time to time. He’s not so different from you or I, give or take a few billion dollars…and killing his own animals.
But I guess this next bit of news won’t exactly help his cause, as he sits …
Android owners, strap yourselves in! (Especially if you’re a fan of artificially-applied Lomo filters!)
Instagram, that wildly popular iPhone photosharing app that’s now been downloaded over eight million times, will in fact be coming to Android-powered devices, as confirmed by the company’s CEO in an interview with The …
It sounds like something from an adrenaline-pumping spy thriller. You know, like Spy Kids 3-D.
A new study from researchers at the University of California, San Diego, posits that thermal imaging cameras can be used to capture the residual heat left over from freshly pressed ATM keys. This strategy in particular holds one pretty …
For some people—like my roommates—fantasy football is as much a part of autumn as the leaves changing color.
It means lazy Sundays spent doing little more than plopping down in front of the tube, washing down Digiorno with whatever beer’s on sale that week while compulsively checking your team after every down. The dedication and …
Google’s almighty search algorithm is one of our generation’s most heavily guarded secrets. Like the recipe for Coke before it, it’s been instrumental to the company’s ongoing success, even in the wake of a growing number of competitors like Bing or a favorite around here, Duck Duck Go.
That’s not to say that the algorithm’s perfect. …
Last week we reported that Facebook was set to give its privacy pages a much needed facelift.
Its goal? To better streamline the controls granted to users over who can and can’t see their content. Previously Facebook users had to navigate through an unclear array of menus to get to their privacy settings. Now, that control is inline …
Last week the tech world was shocked by the sudden announcement of Steve Job’s departure from Apple. I mean, here’s man who left indelible marks in nearly every corner of the industry, from computers, to mp3 players, to tablets and more.
So it’s no surprise that Apple fans were deeply affected by the news. Some penned blogs wishing …
The pain points of traditional print edition textbooks are obvious: For starters they’re heavy, with the average physics textbook weighing in at a burdensome 3.6 pounds. They’re also expensive, especially when you factor in the average college student’s limited budget, typically costing hundreds of dollars every semester.
But the …
Google Plus added a new “ignore” feature to grant you further control of your privacy. Ostensibly, it’ll be for users you still want interacting with your content, but who you don’t want to see popping up in your stream all the time. Think of it as a less intense version of the “block” feature.

The first computer I ever used in a classroom was the Apple II. My first grade teacher, Mrs. Hogan, would line us all up against a wall before walking the class over to the computer lab, a rusty bungalow tucked away in a dark corner of the school.
It was in that lab—which my elementary school shuttled us back-and-forth to for five …
