Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is the slickest, fastest, most responsive release of Android yet. Here’s a list of the great features you have to look forward to when you get your hands on Android 4.1.

Yesterday Samsung announced that their “Unpacked” event will be on August 29th at the upcoming IFA conference in Berlin, stating something “magical” is coming. Rumours were that the Galaxy Note 2 will be unveiled. In a Reuters report this morning an unknown Samsung spokesman has confirmed that “We plan to unveil the next Galaxy Note at the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event in Berlin on August 29.”
This all but confirms the news of the Galaxy Note 2, the next iteration phone/tablet that created “n…

If you've seen most of Microsoft's design language for nearly three years, there's only one word that sums it up: Metro. In spite

Yesterday we took a look at the estimated cost of being Batman; today we’re looking at Iron Man and, let us tell you, it’s not exactly cheap building a technologically-rich exoskeleton.

Prometheus is moving forward! We're not surprised, since the original made money. But holy space Jesus if the sequel is as needlessly complicated and vapid as the first, we're going to shave Michael Fassbender, Engineer-style. More »

Mothers can adjust the sex of their unborn children to best match their living conditions, research shows.

Apparently Google's strange little media streamer isn't quite ready for prime time — not according to the company that made it, at least. The software giant has begun sending out a note to pre-orderers letting them know that the launch of the sphere has been delayed in order to "work on making it even better." The company adds that it's responding to user feedback from previewers who want it to "do even more than it does today." To show that there are no hard feelings, the company will be "e…

State news agency Xinhua is reporting that China is planning to launch a probe to the moon in the second half of 2013. The Chang'e-3, named after the Chinese moon goddess, will deposit a lander and rover on our natural satellite to survey its bumpy surface. It'll launch from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan province and is a sign of the continuing ambition of the nation's space program — after it deposited a crew on its Tiangong-1 space station two months ago.

So Microsoft launched a new email service today — not a redesigned version of Hotmail, but a completely new, built-from-the-ground-up service. It's called Outlook.com, and for now, at least, it will exist separately from Hotmail, as Microsoft attempts to distance itself from Hotmail's bad rap. As it happens, the email features are basically the same across the two services, but from a visual standpoint, Outlook.com is everything Hotmail is not: where Hotmail has distracting banners and video…

Samsung and Apple are going head to head this week and we’ve shown you trial briefs from both companies (Samsung / Apple). The bottomline in this case is that Apple feels Samsung copied them. The bottomline to me is that it’s really a joke that they are spending all this money to “fight over rectangles” as quoted by Samsung’s Chief Product Officer Kevin Packingham.
Furthermore, Samsung will show the court the designs above, which were possibilities for the Summer of 2006, well before the iPho…

Multi-user support could be coming to Android in future versions

Google+ Hangouts is one of the best free group video chat apps we've ever seen, and now the collaborative, multi-person video calling is coming to all Gmail users.

Microsoft will release the long-awaited (and still heavily-questioned) Surface Tablet on October 26th alongside its Windows 8 operating system.
This information was gleaned from the company’s recent filing with the SEC. The initial batch of tablets will include the ARM-based RT version only; the Intel-powered (and likely more expensive) version will come in early 2013.
Windows 8 will be closely-watched not only for its financial viability, but for its ability to change the way that the vast m…
