Galaxy S4 vs HTC One: 7 Things iPhone Users Should Know Before Switching To An Android Super Phone [Video Review]

The Android avalanche continues to gather pace, sweeping all before it. At last estimates 79% of all smartphones shipping in the second quarter of this year were Android models (coincidentally, 79% of all mobile malware in 2012 was also targeted to the Android platform, but that’s a whole new story) so there’s no question that the open source platform has captured the world’s imagination.

Mogo is a seat for wherever your feet take you

We put a lot of strain on our feet. Especially on those days that we stand in line for hours waiting on a concert, hiking up the tallest hill we can find, or just don’t have enough chairs for when company is over.

Check your fly discreetly and in a geeky way

No one wants to be caught with their pants down. While that is certainly embarrassing, your fly being down is also an ordeal you don’t want to face. Maybe your zipper is just faulty, or you have a hard time remembering after you walk out of the bathroom.

PirateBrowser – new browser bundle evades government censorship rules with a click [Freeware]

Everyone loves the Internet, even governments. It’s good for communications, trade and peaceful cooperation. But some of the more autocratic governments seem not to enjoy criticism, and that’s where a lot of the censorship issues arise. Even more ‘liberal’ governments such as those in the US and UK have made it clear that they’re keen to clamp down on content they deem unsuitable, even if those sites are perfectly respectable and legal.

Hubski – the new Reddit?

What is it about Internet communities that is so appealing? Is it the sense of belonging or the chance to feel empowered in a world which increasingly makes us feel less in control of things? From the earliest days of The Well, through iterations such as AOL, MySpace and Digg to today’s monsters like Reddit and Facebook, we’re clearly fascinated by the idea of large groups of people interacting online.

It definitely isn’t fun to be stuck in your own driveway during the winter. You wake up early during those months just to make sure you have time to defrost the car and shovel your whole driveway. Some people finally get around to getting a snow blower, but the problem is that you being prepared for the worst doesn’t mean it’s automatically going to happen.
