| Futuristic Halloween Costumes That Will Blow Their Minds Posted: 17 Oct 2014 11:00 AM PDT  Zombies are boring, Vampires suck, and witches are so passé. If you’re looking for a costume this Halloween which goes beyond the normal, check out some of these futuristic delights – I guarantee you’ll stand out among the crowds of “sexy vampires”. Space Marine and Terminator Armor For those of you not familiar with the Warhammer 40k miniatures wargaming, Space Marines are augmented soldiers dedicated to fighting for the Emperor and mankind.

There’s... Read the full article: Futuristic Halloween Costumes That Will Blow Their Minds |
| Posted: 17 Oct 2014 10:00 AM PDT  The technology industry is rife with buzzwords. The packaging of a computer or computer hardware is crowded with technical terms and badges. One of the more prominent ones is 64-bit. So, it begs the question, what exactly does 64-bit mean? What does it imply? And, most importantly, what does it mean for you? This article serves as both a technical and practical explanation about nature of 64-bit computing. What is 64-bit Computing? Information in computers is normally represented in bits, a binary sequence (what’s binary?) of ones and zeros. The more bits you have, the more information you can represent....

| 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping: Future or Fad? Posted: 17 Oct 2014 09:00 AM PDT  What went through your mind the first time you saw 3D printing in action? Did you simply think, “Hey that’s moderately cool. Oh look, a squirrel”? Or did you think, “Wow. I could build ANYTHING with that!” The very fact that you’re reading this article means it’s safe to assume that you belong to the latter group. Is it just ‘cool’ though? Is it just the next big thing like flying cars and meals-in-a-pill? Those are potentially really useful things, yet they never became mainstream. Is that how it’s going to go down for 3D printing? Some things like Personal Digital... Read the full article: 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping: Future or Fad? |
| Borderlands The Pre-Sequel Review – Is it The Game For You? Posted: 17 Oct 2014 08:30 AM PDT  Borderlands is an odd franchise. The first one, developed by GearBox, kind of came out of nowhere, and in spite of major technical issues, captivated many gamers. It blended the loot gathering mechanics of games like Diablo with the first-person shooting action in way we hadn’t seen before. It also came with a strange and quirky sense of humor that made it impossible to ignore. Now, we’re three games into the franchise, with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel having just released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC (that’s right, no Xbox One or PlayStation 4). This game isn’t led by GearBox,... Read the full article: Borderlands The Pre-Sequel Review – Is it The Game For You? |
| What Operating Systems Do Wearable Devices Run On? Posted: 17 Oct 2014 08:00 AM PDT  Wearable tech, in its many shapes and forms, changes human-machine interaction. The technology squeezes cutting-edge features — like voice activation, biometrics and gesture controls — into devices streamlined to fit the human body. But the hardware and aesthetics don’t enable wearables, it’s the operating system (OS). The OS provides every salient feature of all smart-pants, watches and gloves. It should shock readers that wearable-everything suffers from serious hardware issues. Wearable tech hardware falls short of weak. The specs look like the guts of low-end smartphones, sprinkled with meager crumbs of RAM and storage, budget CPUs and tiny screens. The OS offers all the shiny, game-changing features. But...

Use apps. Mobile Internet: Rarely Unlimited Have you ever found yourself exceeding your data allowance on your smartphone or tablet? Perhaps you thought everything was okay, but didn’t realise that you had exceeded the amount of data you were allowed under your contract until the bill arrived. The fact is, mobile Internet is very rarely unlimited. Even if you have a 50GB allowance, once you finally manage to exceed this (perhaps you’re using your smartphone as a...

| How To Turn A Liberal Arts Degree Into A Great Tech Career Posted: 17 Oct 2014 06:00 AM PDT  College students often find themselves experiencing a quarter-life crisis near graduation. The future looms like a hydra; jobs, debts and living expenses grow ever larger as they march out of tomorrow and into the present. This leaves many students asking themselves whether they made the right choice. Liberal Arts students, who often have a less concrete career path than their peers, are particularly susceptible to bouts of panic. If you’re interested in technology, however, a Liberal Arts degree can be a great thing to have. The trick is to play to your strengths, minimize your weaknesses, and realize you are...

| The Risks And Rewards Of Renting Out Your Apartment On AirBnb Posted: 17 Oct 2014 05:00 AM PDT  The hotel industry is running scared. The reason? AirBnB – the $10 billion startup that allows homeowners to rent out their spare rooms and couches to travelers. The homeowners make coin, and travelers get a bed for the night, often at a lower cost than what a traditional hotel would charge. Over 800,000 listings are available in 33,000 cities worldwide, with hundreds of millions of bookings made every year. I have saved a bit on AirBnB myself. But this success has also come with a number of horror stories. Are you thinking about renting your spare rooms out on AirBnB? Here’s...

| Apple Updates iPad & iMac, Anonabox Faces Backlash, And More… [Tech News Digest] Posted: 17 Oct 2014 04:30 AM PDT  Also, Twitpic fails, PS4 & Xbox One updates, free Steam weekend, retro Casio watches, and the Netflix musical. Apple Unveils New iPads, New iMac Apple has unveiled new iPads and a new iMac at a press event in Cupertino, California. These aren’t totally new devices, but just updates on existing product lines. Which means the endless press coverage and consumer excitement seen after the September keynote — when the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple Watch were all announced — is much more subdued this time around. The iPad Air 2 is a super-thin (6.1 mm) iPad with a... Read the full article: Apple Updates iPad & iMac, Anonabox Faces Backlash, And More… [Tech News Digest] |
