| 5 Special Edition Video Games That Every Collector Wants To Have Posted: 22 Aug 2013 01:00 PM PDT  My fascination with abnormal video games started with the NES. I was never big on baseball, but I remember playing R.B.I. Baseball simply because it came as a special black cartridge, and it was easy to find in my pile of games. Although it was no special edition, the cartridge for The Legend of Zelda was gold in color and had a glittery texture to it. I’m unsure if it was the intention, but the aesthetic differences between games such as these two, and others, probably worked really well as a marketing strategy. It made them look important, and it... Read the full article: 5 Special Edition Video Games That Every Collector Wants To Have |
| U.DTR: Ultra Desktop Replacement Concept Design Posted: 22 Aug 2013 12:30 PM PDT  Desktops are being replaced by laptops in the workplace and at home. Users don’t really mind sacrificing screen estate for portability and convenience of being able to bring their work home with them. However, working with a 15-inch screen can be less than ideal. U.DTR is a concept design aimed at bridging the gap between desktop and laptop by providing desktop-esque ergonomics and flexibility while maintaining the portability of a laptop. The Ultra Desktop Replacement is the brainchild of industrial designer Marin Myftiu, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Marin explored the boundaries of technology with his concept design, all the...

| How to Replace or Upgrade the SSD in Your Windows 8 Tablet Posted: 22 Aug 2013 11:45 AM PDT  With less than 4 GB of storage remaining on my Windows 8 tablet – and the majority of useful applications, cloud storage and games installed on my external USB 3.0 drive – I decided that it was time to upgrade the tiny 64 GB mSATA SSD. The mSATA SSD is essentially a tiny card, upon which several storage modules are mounted, was now too small for my purposes. Without the advantage of an SD card slot on my Acer Iconia W7 series tablet, opening the device and replacing the mSATA SSD card with a high capacity replacement was really the...

| 10 Videos Exploring The Internet As It Was In The 1990s Posted: 22 Aug 2013 10:45 AM PDT  The history of the Internet stretches back as far as 1969, but it didn’t become popular until the 1990s when the whole thing became commercialized, ISPs started offering access, and the World Wide Web emerged to give normal people something to actually do online. In the developed world, only around 10 percent of people had access to the Internet in 1997, but in 2013 the figure had risen to around 77 percent. Globally it was just 2 percent in 1997, but was 39 percent in 2013. With that in mind, what did the Internet look like to people in the...

| Will You Be Buying Either A “Gold” iPhone Or “Cheap” iPhone? [We Ask You] Posted: 22 Aug 2013 09:30 AM PDT  As we found out during last week’s We Ask You discussion about smartphone operating systems, Apple has a rabid fanbase who will defend their chosen team against the bullying behemoth that Android has become. But what will the faithful make of Apple’s latest hardware offerings, due to be announced in September? Anyone who spends any time reading technology sites on the Interweb will know that Apple news and rumors form a hefty chunk of some sites’ output. The last month has seen an uptick in the sheer weight of stories surrounding Cupertino and what Tim Cook, Jony Ive, and co....

| Medium: An Alternative Blogging Platform From The Founders Of Twitter Posted: 22 Aug 2013 09:00 AM PDT  Twitter’s co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone launched their own blogging platform, Medium, about a year ago. When it first launched, we asked ourselves if it would take off or not, and it’s still a bit difficult to answer the question. In its closed beta phase, you can sign up and begin reading content posted on Medium straight away, you can’t start posting until you’re granted access. The roll out for access has been a slow-going process, and in some cases, has taken at least a year for users to get posting privileges. The founders say that the aim is...

| Google Chrome 29 Adds Smarter Omnibox Suggestions & Other Tweaks [Updates] Posted: 22 Aug 2013 08:30 AM PDT  Chrome 29 is the latest build of the browser and it now comes with a smarter Omnibox. The Omnibox brought in a faster way to search with auto-suggestions, and now it gets better with some improvements under the hood. Google says that desktop browser users will see better Omnibox suggestions based on the recency of websites visited, “resulting in more timely and contextually relevant suggestions.” Mac users haven’t been left out in the cold either, as this version has support for rich notifications for apps and extensions that keeps the user in the loop as an app goes about its...

| 5 Signs The Oculus Rift is Going To Be A Storming Success Posted: 22 Aug 2013 08:00 AM PDT  Oculus Rift is going to change gaming, forever – the hype hasn’t just fizzled it, it’s been sustained for the past year and only growing. The age of VR is now upon us; immersive experiences are where the cool kids are heading. My illustrious gaming editor Dave disagrees with me (you can hear our argumentative banter every week on Technophilia, Wednesdays at 4pm UK time) – but he’s wrong, and spends most of his time playing 20 year old games anyway. Here for your consideration are 5 rock-solid reasons we already know the Rift is going to change computing, forever....

| Posted: 22 Aug 2013 07:00 AM PDT  Gaming on the Mac has always been a bit difficult, and many players turn to Boot Camp as their all-in-one solution for finding great games that work with OS X. This solution has its downsides, however, not the least of which is the annoyance of constantly switching between OS X and Windows. Fortunately, some genres of games now offer a wide enough selection to keep the average Mac gamer happy. Perhaps the best example is the MMO, a hugely popular category that used to ignore the Mac, but, over the last five years, has seen more and more games offer...

| YouTube Android Now Allows Minimizing Of Videos While Browsing And Searching [Updates] Posted: 22 Aug 2013 06:30 AM PDT  Google has been rolling out some major changes to its YouTube app lately, and it looks like the Android version of the app has received a useful – albeit comparatively minor – change to its interface. In short, this significant change will allow users to minimize videos while they browse or search while in-app. In the past, Android’s YouTube users absolutely had to stop the video whenever searching and browsing, limiting the otherwise fluid nature of the app. The new version of the Android YouTube app will minimize the video to the lower-right screen of your phone and continue to...
