| How Cars Will One Day Talk to Each Other Posted: 12 Sep 2014 10:00 AM PDT  The self-driving car has become a hot topic over the last several years. Many companies, including Google, believe this technology could do wonders for world transportation. Self-driving cars won’t just be convenient; they’ll also be less expensive, more fuel efficient and safer. They might even turn long, boring commutes into an opportunity to relax, read a book or call in to a meeting. But tomorrow’s transportation is not just about the self-driving car. The future will see networks of cars working together to keep passengers safe and deliver them to their destinations efficiently. For that to happen, though, cars need a way to talk to...

| Your Next Phone Case Will Be Made Out Of A Metal Glass. Here’s What You Need To Know Posted: 12 Sep 2014 09:30 AM PDT  Looking for a new iPhone case? Your next one may be made out of a 'super cool' metal alloy that is not only incredibly strong, but is also impervious to scratches and can stretch and bend like a rubber band. They're called 'Bulk Metallic Glasses' (BMG), and they're awesome. BMGs aren't one specific material. The term is used to describe an alloy which contains a number of attributes. They were initially developed at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in the early 00s, and have since undergone a number of refinements at Yale University under the guidance of Professor Jan...

| Should You Buy The Bigger iPhone 6 Plus? Posted: 12 Sep 2014 08:30 AM PDT  If the iPhone’s traditionally smaller screen size has been stopping you from jumping aboard the iOS train, the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus each offer considerably more to look at, and a few other benefits. The term “phablet” very much applies to Apple’s larger model, but there’s more to it than just a bigger screen. Here’s everything you need to know to make an informed buying decision. It’s Bigger, Much Bigger You might be of the opinion that existing iPhones are big enough. Even if you are unhappy with the 4 inches of Retina vision provided in the 5S, there’s a good chance the 4.7 inch iPhone... Read the full article: Should You Buy The Bigger iPhone 6 Plus? |
| Which Music Identification App Is King? Posted: 12 Sep 2014 08:00 AM PDT  Finding out what song is playing nearby is a simple matter of opening an app on your smartphone – but which service is best?

With technology things change at lightning speed, and since then, Shazam has become almost a household name; it’s even going to be integrated into Siri as a new feature in iOS 8. With this in mind, it’s time for... Read the full article: Which Music Identification App Is King? |

I set out to track down a “Goodreads for video games,” and this is what I found. A quick note: this article doesn’t include sites that are generally considered to be social networks for gamers, like gamerDNA, and Raptr. While those can be used for the same purpose, I was looking for sites... Read the full article: Like Goodreads, but for Video Games: Manage Your Game Collection Better |
