Google to kill off Google Buzz, Labs goes the way of the dodo
15 Oct 2011 by Craig Lloyd / 2 Comments
Remember when Google launched a Twitter-esque social network of sorts and they called it Buzz? Neither do we. Of course, we kid, but Google Buzz really was a pretty pathetic attempt at social networking, especially for a company like Google. People picked it up and started playing with it to see what it was like, and then simply dropped it a few minutes later and completely forgot about it, just l...

After months of speculation, delays, sneak peeks, and even a dead giveaway, us iPad users finally have our Facebook. Unsurprisingly, it looks almost identical to the hidden iPad app that was included in the iPhone app update back in July. It has a nice, two-pane view and strongly re...

11 Oct 2011 by Craig Lloyd
Remember a few weeks ago when Netflix decided to split its instant streaming and DVD-by-mail services into two separate entities and introduced Qwikster? A lot of people were pretty peeved, to say the least, and it looks like Netflix has finally received the message.

Review: Logitech Gaming Mouse G300
30 Sep 2011 by Craig Lloyd
When it comes to mice that work well for both right-handers and left-handers, there’s not many options out there. Sure, there’s a lot of cheaper and crappier ambidextrous mice that come packaged with most OEM computers, but there’s never been a really good gaming mouse that’s truly ambidextrous.
