America has had problems with voter turnout, but now Oregon is trying to help close that gap by letting its residents vote by iPad. This, my friends, is no time to play Angry Birds with Herman Cain.
Disabled voters in five Oregon counties are getting a serious taste of the future as officials integrate the devices into local …

Good news, would-be iPhone 4S buyers still unconvinced Apple’s death-grip reception troubles with the iPhone 4 didn’t carry over to the lookalike iPhone 4S: Consumer Reports claims they’ve been banished.
“In special reception tests of the iPhone 4S that duplicated those we did on the iPhone 4, the newer phone did not display the same …
Back when Dish Network’s Blockbuster Movie Pass was first announced, there was one obvious problem with the idea that it was a true competitor to Netflix: It was only available to Dish Network customers.
Now that I’ve had a chance to test out the online streaming portion of the Movie Pass package for myself, another problem seems just …

HP announced a 3D PC display and a 3D PC yesterday. To me, at least, the most interesting thing about them is that the company chose a different flavor of 3D for each device.
First the display. Its official moniker is the HP 2311gt 3D monitor, and it’s a 23″ LED-backlit display. Like most 3D movies you see in theaters, the 3D is …
The big disappointment is with the ViewPad 10pro’s Android emulator, provided by BlueStacks and presented as an app on the Windows desktop. The BlueStacks Android app consists of a blank home screen and a handful of pre-loaded programs in the app tray. All of them had serious lag issues, and Documents to Go gave me an error message every …

Google+ welcomes companies with Google+ Pages. Many of your favorite brands can now be added to your Circles, but administration of the accounts is causing headaches for some companies. Why? Because the pages can only be tied to a single Google …
I tried it with various Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well as PC games, and—especially at its native 1920 by 1080 resolution—the color depth and visual crispness are unbeatable. I piped the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in via an HDMI cable at ultra-high detail settings, for instance, and the image easily leapfrogs the …

Behold, the gigantic Windows smartphone in NYC’s Herald Square. No, Microsoft isn’t going after the under-served Godzilla demographic; it’s celebrating the release of its four new phones, which all run on the delicious-sounding Mango (less-deliciously known as Windows Phone 7.5).
Those four phones would be the HTC Radar 4G, Samsung …
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg returned to his alma mater—Harvard—today on a recruiting swing for the world’s most popular social network. He made another trip to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as well. I caught the (very) brief press conference at MIT, where Zuckerberg only had time to answer a few questions.

In the last few months, Apple’s security has been called into question more than once—not only for losing a pre-release iPhone 4S, but also for allegedly getting involved with the San Francisco Police Department’s investigation into the missing phone. It may come as no surprise, then, that Apple’s VP of Global Security recently left …
