| Kindle vs. iBooks: Which Is The Best eReader For Your iPad or iPhone? Posted: 08 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT  Apple’s iBooks and Amazon’s Kindle (both free) are two of the best apps for reading a book on your iPhone or iPad, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses – so which is right for your reading habits? Amazon and Apple are each competitive when it comes to the price of digital books, but their respective apps each offer unique features for the purposes of annotating, reviewing, and sharing content. We’ve produce a video to highlight the main features, comparisons and significant differences between the apps.

| How You Could Make Your Own Google Maps Using A Drone Posted: 08 Sep 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Imagine sending a drone to take pictures above your neighborhood, then compiling those photos into an extremely high-resolution, local map. A new piece of software, combined with improved drone technology, means this kind of arrangement is already cheaper than you may think. Maps Made Easy recently completed their Kickstarter campaign, meaning their software for combining a massive number of aerial photos into a coherent whole will soon be a reality. When it’s ready, anyone will be able to launch a $2000 drone, or even a $600 remote-control plane, and create maps. Add GPS coordinates, and you can explore your own...

| Why Bendable Displays Would Be So Cool Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:00 AM PDT  Isn’t it about time that we’re able to roll up – or even fold – our digital devices? And I’m not talking about curved screens, which are just as rigid as a regular screen, yet arguably less versatile. I’m talking about digital displays that can match paper in flexibility.

Realistically speaking, flexible screen displays will be the next big revolution. Here’s how you will benefit. Why Haven’t Bendable Displays Taken Off? In theory, there isn’t...

What I need is a single charger that can power all of my devices at once – the rest of the family could them fight it out for the remaining ones. Bolse is attempting...
