Tweet No true Star Wars fan can claim his title without having to play SWTOR. As much as the geek community deems it a failure, some of the believers think that EA and Bioware have a chance at turning things around. While everyone is still worried that the animated mouse will somehow elbow its way into cut scenes and we’ll see hidden Mickey’s on some of the backdrop, some players are worried that EA’s license would not be renewed since Disney has their own gaming company. Since this MMORPG... Read→

Tweet So, it’s official. Not only has Disney purchased LucasFilm – and with it the rights to the Star Wars franchise – they have announced that “Star Trek” director J.J. Abrams will direct “Star Wars: Episode VII,” due to release in 2015. Abrams had long been rumored as a favorite for the project, but until recently he was heartily denying any involvement.

Tweet I’ve been waiting for this since I’ve heard the news recently about Spotify building a web-based player to compliment its existing Desktop and Mobile applications.

Tweet Since my early childhood I had been growing up watching sci-fi movies. In any of these movies you can always find handheld devices, in any forms and sizes, being used for many purposes.

This is what’s happening today with tablet computing.  Sure, tablet as a technology is not exactly a new thing.  It has... Read→

Tweet Sometimes Google is trying to be clever but at the end it ends up more confusing and ineffecient for the users. Take for example the new Compose window, hands up who tried it and changed back to the old one? Me! But one of these things that managed to make me go around the net to find the answer and almost teared my hair out of frustration is the Contact Page in the new Gmail (not the HTML version)! I mean, where ‘the hell’ can I find the link? Have a look at your Gmail and try... Read→

Tweet The advent of technology and the Internet makes communicating and doing business easier in the 21st century.

Available for download at Norton is their “Norton Cybercrime Report 2012″, which gives deeper understanding on how this type of crime affects everyone. Knowledge of how unethical individuals conduct cyber crime is vital to fighting this insidious... Read→

Sony’s latest tablet offering is the Xperia™ Tablet S. It’s a 9.4″ HD tablet with a design that looks very … Sony :)  In other words, it looks pretty cool.  It’s using the Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) to drive the NVIDIA® Tegra®3 quad-coreprocessor and the 1280×800 display, but Sony... Read→
