Can the "Nexus Tablet" save Android?

Google + Asus = Nexus The skinny. If you have been keeping up with the tech rumors, you know that something big is coming from Google in the next few months. Rumor has it Google is partnering up with Asus and a handful of others manufacturers to develop tablet hardware. By summer we should see what is likely the next big thing in tablet computing. And this time it may actually sport official Google branding. Referred to by most as the "Nexus Tablet," this new tech toy could potentially be Google's flagship device that could change the Android landscape.     Why it needs to? The current reality is that Google's Android...

5 iPhone Cases to Stand Out from the Crowd

If you're an extreme iPhone fanatic or just an average iPhone user, finding the perfect case is almost always a necessity.  The iPhone 4/4S is beautiful in its own design, but I found it annoying that my phone looks like everyone else's.  Whether you want a case for the looks or for the protection, it's nice to have something that will make you a little more unique. There are a lot of mainstream cases that are floating around the marketplace like the infamous Otterbox or the classic Apple Bumper.  There are even countless cheap cases that look similar to each other and offer very little protection too.  I'm sure there are...

Going Digital: Resistance is Futile

The rumor mill has been running rampant with talk of the "next generation" of consoles. This is when incessant speculation builds up such a hype machine that it's difficult to ignore. Both Microsoft (next console codenamed Durango) and Sony (next console codenamed Orbis) are hard at work on their respective consoles, and everybody has an opinion on what the next-gen will have in store for us. There is nothing wrong with having an opinion on the next-gen, we as gamers are a very vocal bunch, and it's always fun to discuss these sorts of things. I'm not really focusing on any rumor or speculation in this particular situation,...

Comic Book Mixup!

Has anyone's stores mistakenly put this issue on their shelves? I go to several comic stores, and some did while some did not. If you see this comic floating around, be respectful and DO NOT PICK IT UP. Avengers VS X-men Round One is not supposed to be released yet. However, some comic book stores released this issue early on their shelves last week. What was supposed to come out last week was "Avengers VS X-men #0", which was a book showcasing The Scarlet Witch and Hope in two separate stories right before the big event. We reviewed this issue properly, at the time of release. Incase you missed it, feel free to read it now. The "Avengers...

WWE Smackdown Lowdown 3/30/2012

Two days until Wrestlemania means just one simple thing - a short Smackdown so that they can maximize the hype.  As much as I like wrestling action, I can't entirely disagree with the idea; need to put some food in those mouths and such.  This will be a short write up, since the show's wrestling action was short and I am admittedly mid-preparation for my own Wrestlemania 28 viewing party.  Let's get this train rolling! Match 1 - Zack Ryder vs Drew McIntyre All the talent on this roster and they still couldn't help having a Team Teddy vs Team Johnny match.  I'll let it go because Zack Ryder getting back in the mix is a good...
