Could it be that Valve is looking at Apple as a partner for their SteamBox hardware? That would be freaking amazing, an Apple-built box with first-class support from Valve and Steam. It could actually get me interested in PC-gaming again, after year…

Ah, Google is now officially lowering their standards for Android. Took a while, but I can't say I didn't see that coming. They should buy Acer to build the things for them, they have years of experience going bust trying to make crappy cheap produc…

Dear god no, not another tool for 'non-programmers' to make applications. This idea has failed every.single.time anyone tried this, Google App Inventor being one of the last well-known examples. Apple should know better. The whole idea behind pro…

I'm not surprised they are binning the A5 CPU's, and I'm not surprised they are using the dual-core rejects as single core in the Apple TV. All makes perfect sense. Wat I do find newsworthy is that apparently, Apple is using the Apple TV as some kin…
