Microsoft And Nokia Team Up To Take Back The Low End
Say a prayer for Android. Nokia’s new Lumia 710 Windows Phone, a $49 smartphone aimed at the feature-phone set, is about to change the way carriers sell – and customers see – cellphones. Forget LTE, dual cores, and all that flummery. Microsoft and Nokia are essentially buying a few million people stuck in the 20th century a new cellphone and they’re doing it in a way only the world’s two finest proprietors of technology to the masses could. On the surface, the Lumia 710 is redolent of ...

App review: Infinity Blade 2 (iOS)
The 3D duel-fest is back, and attempting to answer some of the questions left over from its first installment (and a few major updates). Infinity Blade has had a huge effect on promoting the iPad and iPhone as valid gaming options, with high quality visuals and intuitive touchscreen controls. Well, Epic hasn't tampered with the formula too much, but has tried to instill some considered expansions and pour even more eye-honey all over it. Will it stretch gamers beyond the original? ...

Opinion: Do we expect too much from our tech?
Let's say you're a woman who finds herself in, as we used to say, a delicate condition — but, perhaps, she would rather not be in that delicate condition.
Where's the first place you'd turn for advice? Your doctor? Your closest friend? Your parents? Your religious advisor? Planned Parenthood?
No. Apparently, ACLU thinks the first place you'd turn for reproductive advice is — wait for it — Siri.
But that's not the silliest part of this story.

3D solar structures from MIT can work just as well in cloudy weather
A team over at MIT have recently found a way to make solar panels work just as efficiently in cloudy weather as they do during cloudy weather. Instead of just using flat panels that only obtain the most energy when the sun is directly above them, the team has come up with 3D solar structures that are capable of collecting sunlight from all around it (i.e. ambient light) instead of just one direction, which lets it collect ...
