In Fox vs. Duck, you are the duck, and you need to survive constant attacks by fox and fish alike. Like the best iPhone games , it’s simple but addictive. More

Each manufacturer I’ve spoken to has said that only their glasses will work with their 3D TVs, which certainly throws a spanner in the works when you look at the $150 price. XpanD reckons theirs can work with any TV. More

Just as we thought, Samsung’s Windows Phone 7 Series handset shown off at Mix 2010 the other day was the Omnia HD —but according to Samsung “it’s not yet clear whether existing i8910HD users will be able to upgrade.” More

If data centers are the brains of an information company, then Google is one of the brainiest there is. Though always evolving, it is, fundamentally, in the business of knowing everything. Here are some of the ways it stays sharp. More

Intel’s Core i7-980X Extreme Edition is six-cored, twelve-threaded, and starting to show up in a lot of gaming rigs by some popular builders: More

We’ve heard some folks (we’re not naming names) disparagingly refer to netbooks as “toys” from time to time. Of course, when a manufacturer like Bandai cranks the cute factor up to eleven we can’t say that it’s an altogether bad thing. Like its predecessor , the Rilakkuma SX features 1Seg TV, webcam, Bluetooth, and WiFi. Putting the “next” in “next-gen,” this baby features an Atom Z520 processor, 1GB RAM, 60GB HDD, DVD Super Multi, and an 8.9-inch (1280 x 768) touchscreen. Built by Kohjinsha, this one is reportedly coming to the Bandai Namco online store in June for

Are we ready for 3D? As CG supervisor and avid moviegoer, I’m sad to say that I’m not convinced we are. Yet. And the worse is yet to come, as studios try to milk us all for these half-baked goods. More

We’ve seen some pretty neat concepts of how magazines will make the transition to tablets, but this new VIV magazine spread by Alexx Henry Studios is maybe the most visually arresting yet. More

Not that we’ve never seen Surface -like touch tables interacting with mobile devices before, but now that the whole thing is being repackaged as “the magazine stand of the future” and those trendy tablets are involved, we might as well have a look. Cynergy is demonstrating a seamless method for purchasing digital content from one of these kiosks using your e-reader or tablet pc. It’s just a matter of plopping your device — which already knows your identity and available credit — atop the display table and then flicking the particular magazine or newspaper you want onto your storage. It looks effortless and all, but it also requires that you have the “custom designed and built” software from Cynergy, which you’ll have to pump funds into in order to get the seamlessness going. We don’t know how we feel about yet another proprietary ecosystem floating about, but you can make your own mind up after watching the video after the break.

Well it’s about time, Spring Design! After missing its February ship date , the company is finally ready for you to whip out the plastic and pre-order its Alex — that dual-screen, Android -based ereader we liked so much at CES . While you can shell out the $399 today, you’ll still have to wait until mid-April for the mailman to drop off the package. We’d like to say the wait stops there, but we’ve also learned that early buyers won’t have access to the promised Borders eBook store until June. When we chatted with Spring Design CEO Priscilla Lu last week she confirmed that Borders will officially launch its store in the “June time frame,” which will be around the very same time that the 3G version of the Alex will be ready to hit the market — at least there’s access to Google Books and an micro-SD card slot for sideloading in the meantime. With so much coming down the pike it may be worth waiting a bit more time for this one, but our own Alex arrived just last night so no matter what it’d behoove you to wait a few days for our review before you hit the source link to pre-order.
