| Fingers Meet Glass: 5 Tips For A Better Typing Experience Posted: 19 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST  Whether you’re typing out a short email or writing a 1000-word blog post, doing that on a tablet/smartphone, sans an external keyboard, can be somewhat difficult.

| POLL: How Much Free Space Did You Manage To Get From Dropbox? Posted: 19 Jan 2014 04:30 AM PST  Last week we asked you about CES, and gave you a chance to tell us what was your favorite new gadget this year. Personally, I thought this CES was pretty exciting, but it seems that most of you don’t agree. Nevertheless, one cool gadget did come out on top, and by quite a margin. There were 12 options in this poll, including the option to vote for “other”. To save you from having to read through an endless list of results, I’ll focus on those that did significantly better than their counterparts: Out of the 229 votes on this poll,...
