I actually lived to see the day where the miniature version of a phone is almost as strong as the regular version – that’s right folks, this wonder of technology is brought to you by none other than Sony. Sony’s involvement at CES 2014 made sure to showcase and announce their latest miniature flagship – the Xperia Z1 Compact. For ... Read More »

Nvidia Has a New Project: the Tegra K1
There have been quite a few attempts at creating a perfect Android-based gaming console. However, without trying to be rude, I have to state that most of these attempts were failures. The reason for this, I think, is because one of these Android-based gaming consoles is just about as strong as an Android phone, so if you’ve ALREADY paid a ... Read More »
MiniSting Memory Earth Resistivity and IP Meter
Advanced Geosciences Inc., a world renowned manufacturer of geophysical resistivity and IP imaging systems since 1989, realized the need for a single channel, low cost instrument that would meet the needs of a specific market segment. A segment needing a different level of resistivity and IP imaging. Beyond accuracy and versatility, cost is an additional key factor for this group. ... Read More »
Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra finally get Android 4.3
This is a piece of news that makes me be more subjective than I should. You see, I oft times frequent certain meme sites and image boards, and there is this old meme involving Slowpoke, a Pokemon with extremely slow reaction times, used often in cases in which people find out things that everybody knew for a while now. I ... Read More »
2014: Promising Year for Ubuntu Touch
If I said once, I’ll say it again: things are about to get heated up on the OS battlefield by 2014 – there’ll be a new player on the block by then. Ubuntu Touch will transfer in that before mentioned year from an after-market OS to an out-of-the-box OS. Canonical’s Mark Shuttleworth has recently announced that they’ve gotten a hardware ...

Oppo N1: Going Global
There was this phone I’ve seen for a while now and have always meant to post a few pieces of info about it, but I was always turned down by the fact that it was severely limited to only a small number of countries. I found it a shame, really, as the device was truly wonderful and had a ton ... Read More »

ZTE Z5S and Z5S Mini: 2.5 Mil Pre-Orders
ZTE is a pretty big manufacturer, but certainly not on the same page as Samsung or HTC or the likes. However, when they do strike it big, they set themselves up like bandits. ZTE has, in fact, recently announced its latest flagship smartphone – the Nubia Z5S ( as you’ve probably already guessed from the title ). Along with this, ... Read More »
Galaxy Note 3 Hits the 10 Mil Mark
The selling numbers for the Samsung Galaxy Notes have always been impressive, but the Note 3 sales are damn-right unbelievable. This phone has sold a really impressive number of units: 5 million in the first month of availability, and now that another month has passed, another 5 million units have been shipped. I don’t think anyone on this Earth can ... Read More »
Android OS v4.4.2 – Rolling Out
I doubt it’s been a full fortnight since the last update rolled out – 4.4.1. That update was, and I’m sad to say, quite larger than this one. I honestly don’t much see the point in this update and why it had to change the version number. You see, in layman’s terms, it’s more of a hotfix than a full-fledged ... Read More »
