The reviews are there, and there are more and more coming, but PC World has tried to make the same comparison that Microsoft talked about in the launch event. Of course comparing one machine to another is a little bit unfair, but every comparison is that. The MacBook Pro (13 inch, Core i5-5752U) is slightly …
Have you broken your smartphone’s screen and want to get a replacement? Do you want to upgrade just the camera? Or access to a new battery? All of this can be done on one phone and one phone only, and it’s not Google’s Project Ara. It’s the Fairphone 2. The first modular phone, built by …
Josh Constine on TechCrunch: YouTube made its top video creators an offer they literally couldn’t refuse, or they’d have their content disappear.

Engadget (5X, 6P) and TechCrunch (5X, 6P), are amongst the first ones to publish them, but we’ve got also first (I’d say ‘second’) impressions from Wired. According to Ars, “all …
Valve’s developers and Polygon’s editors share thoughts on the potentially revolutionary new hardware As a veteran Linux user, I was really a big supporter of Steam Machines when the idea started to take off. The freedom and power that Valve was giving to the traditional PC was inspiring. Your PC could finally be your console …
Yesterday Apple renewed their iMacs and peripherals with the traditional fanfare. The company masters product placement and their media coverage is astounding. In fact, most media seems to just believe the exact same message Apple sends on their press releases, and it’s difficult to find proper insight that goes beyond what Apple wants us to …
At its Windows 10 hardware event today in New York City, Microsoft unveiled the Display Dock. This accessory extends your Windows 10 phone into a PC-like experience, though it reportedly will cost $99. I love what Microsoft announced on October 6th: the new high end Lumia smartphones are now capable of becoming your PC, but …
