| Google Overhauls Android.com With A Focus On Consumer Friendliness Posted: 17 Nov 2011 03:37 PM PST Google Overhauls Android.com With A Focus On Consumer Friendliness  Google Overhauls Android.com With A Focus On Consumer Friendliness Android is growing up. The platform that began its life as something built for the anti-iPhone crowd is quickly evolving into something built for everybody. Today, Google has overhauled Android's website to match. For as long as I can recall, Android.com has been, for lack of a better word, dry. Primarily built as a landing pad for press, partners, and developers, it didn't really do much of anything to sell Android.... |
| IBM sees stacked silicon sitting in fluid as the way to power future PCs Posted: 17 Nov 2011 03:37 PM PST IBM sees stacked silicon sitting in fluid as the way to power future PCs  IBM sees stacked silicon sitting in fluid as the way to power future PCs Generally, the combination of microchips, electricity and fluids is usually considered an incredibly bad thing. IBM, however, thinks it can combine those three to make super small and super powerful computers in the future. The idea is to stack hundreds of silicon wafers and utilize dual fluidic networks between them to create 3D processors.... |

As it stands, that mythical interface doesn't exist; but hopefully that's set to change soon. Norway's FXI is heralding a device codenamed Cotton Candy; a USB/ HDMI stick that can connect to nearly anything that's packing a display.... |

Their devices are touted as ereaders but, after a bit of digging, you find that they are now considerably more interesting – and compelling – as tablet products for an entry level market.... |

Posted: 17 Nov 2011 02:52 PM PST PayPal Facebook app lets you send money and greetings to friends, only takes 2.9-percent cut of your 'free' e-card  PayPal Facebook app lets you send money and greetings to friends, only takes 2.9-percent cut of your 'free' e-card Well, this certainly seems like a no-brainer for PayPal. The company just launched a Facebook app that lets you send money to anyone on your friends list, with the usual list of terms and conditions in tow. After logging into Facebook and authorizing the app, you'll be able to use PayPal to transfer funds to individuals that you're connected with (who also have PayPal accounts, of course), adding a layer of... |

Much like the sleepy hacker hit that was the Nook Color, Barnes and Noble's big bro tab looks to be carrying on that legacy of unapproved use and this time there's a lot less microSD card swapping required.... |

Here at the Los Angeles Auto Show, however, Mazda has officially announced exactly what's in store for the U.S.-spec CX-5, set to go on sale early next year. The Skyactiv powertrain should return best-in-class fuel economy figures... |
| DOSBox ported to BlackBerry PlayBook, brings MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 to QNX (video) Posted: 17 Nov 2011 02:07 PM PST DOSBox ported to BlackBerry PlayBook, brings MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 to QNX (video)  DOSBox ported to BlackBerry PlayBook, brings MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 to QNX (video) So, BBM and a native email client for the BlackBerry PlayBook would be nice, but what we have today is a step in a completely different direction. DOSBox, everyone's favorite open-source x86 emulator, has been successfully ported to RIM's QNX-based tablet, bringing with it MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 support. A command-line-based OS can certainly be tiring after spending so many years with a GUI, but those ancient games of yesteryear are... |

"No, you're the copycat!" Apple and Samsung have entered the pre-trial discovery period in their dispute over whose smartphones and tablets violate whose intellectual property. In hopes of securing evidence that even Samsung's customers mistake its products for iPhones and iPads, Apple has requested that Samsung turn over records of customer service calls where one company's products were confused with the other's. That evidence could help Apple ban sales... |
| Posted: 17 Nov 2011 01:21 PM PST Samsung Focus S review  Samsung Focus S review The deluge of Mango devices isn't over yet. Hot on the heels of the Lumia 800, the Titan, Radar and the wallet-friendly Focus Flash comes the Samsung Focus S. There's not a whole lot of mystery to Sammy's flagship Windows Phone 7.5 handset. It's not terribly different from many of its cousins packing Microsoft's mobile OS and, other than size, there doesn't seem to be anything separating it from its little... |

The Note has struck your interest, but perhaps its dimensions are just a tad too diminutive for your tastes. Well sir or ma'am, you're exactly the type of person Samsung is hoping to snag with its Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.... |

But while the Spark is small in size, designers have made a real effort to make sure that it can still stand out in a crowd.

And based on those drives, the premium Nissan division is preparing to unveil a new hybrid sports car concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show this March. Very little in... |

The sale lasts from November 16th to the 22nd in Quebec, and the 18th to the 24th in the rest of Canada.... |

Posted: 17 Nov 2011 11:03 AM PST Honda Fit EV goes lease-only for 2012, should hit US next summer for $399 per month (video)  Honda Fit EV goes lease-only for 2012, should hit US next summer for $399 per month (video) If you're looking to buy a car to keep around for the long-haul (200,000 miles, anyone?), then Honda should probably near the top of your list. That's why we're a bit surprised to see that next year's all-electric Fit won't have a purchase option -- not initially, at least. The car does carry an MSRP of $36,625, but at this point that figure will be used for little more than to... |

The Galaxy Nexus. It's finally here, in our eager little hands, and it's delicious -- just like Ice Cream Sandwich, in fact. Our review unit is the same unlocked HSPA+ version we briefly played with in Hong Kong and is running Android 4.0.1.

| Kobo Vox unboxing and hands-on (video) Posted: 17 Nov 2011 10:17 AM PST Kobo Vox unboxing and hands-on (video)  Kobo Vox unboxing and hands-on (video) Kobo is something of a perpetual underdog. That may well change, after Rakuten acquisition of the company goes through, but for now, it's still a small organization battling giants like Amazon, Barnes & Noble and, to a lesser extent, Sony. With that in mind, the timing for the Vox's release certainly could have been better -- the tablet has to go head to head with the Nook Tablet and Kindle Fire,... |
