The computing platform in phone's clothing

When Apple introduced the iPhone back in January of 2007, it was clearly aimed not at geeks but at mainstream consumers. Even though it lacked many of the basic functions offered by competing smartphones of the time, including MMS. However, its multitouch interface was so far ahead of the rest of the industry, especially when it came to the core experiences of web browsing and entertainment, that no one else stood a chance.

Headphones or Earbuds? [Chatroom]

Most of us listen to music in places where speakers just won't do. But we all have different preferences for how we go about doing that. Some like the big sound and presence of over-the-ear headphones. Others like the portability and isolation afforded by in-ear monitors. But what do you use to listen to music when you have to listen alone? Big? Small? Cheap? Expensive? Noise-canceling? More »

Nokia Accuses Google?s Nexus 7 of Patent Infringement

Google and its partners are knee deep in patent disputes. And this time, instead of a certain Cupertino company, it's Nokia on the offensive. Less than a week after Google unveiled its new Nexus 7 tablet, Nokia made claims that the Nexus 7 infringes on some of its patents.

Balance is a challenging mouse-based physics game

balance
Years of computer use have taught us that the mouse cursor is "above" the windows. It doesn't push anything around; at least not without you clicking anything.

Balance takes that ingrained bit of knowledge and cancels it out. Suddenly your cursor (a blue dot) is solid - and if it touches the blue block, it pushes it around.

Your job is to use your cursor to nudge the blue block over to the orange block. You will have to push it, lift it and even flip it on its side, and then balance it. It's a very tricky game - one I wouldn't recommend tackling with a laptop trackpad.

Still, if you have a mouse and a hankering for a little physics gameplay, this is a cute little game. I like how the blue block never stops smiling, it makes me feel better about the world.

Everything You Need to Make Kick-Ass Custom Case Mods [Toolkit]

If you're in the habit of giving credence to tired clichés, you're probably aware that a good chef never blames a mistake on his tools. That's not quite true when it comes to case modding. Anybody who's ever tried molding metal (or anything else) into newfound shapes knows that skill is definitely a factor, but even Modderati masters can't turn ducks into swans if their tools aren't up to snuff. On the flip side, solid tools can help novices pump out professional-looking mods. More »

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Directors Cut brings point-and-poke adventure to Android

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Directors Cut brings point-and-poke adventure to Android

If you're not familiar with the point-and-click classic Broken Sword, then you owe it to yourself to snatch up the Directors Cut of Shadow of the Templars. Originally released in 1996, this title is considered by many to be the pinnacle of genre, one that has fallen out of favor in the age of accelerated 3D graphics and first-person shooters. For $4, in a revamped format with touch-friendly controls, the Revolution Software-produced mystery is a no-brainer. Just don't blame us when your day disappears as you unravel a vast conspiracy involving the Knights Templar, mimes and a terrorist clown (as if you needed more of a reason to hate those things).
