Samsung thinks you shouldn’t have to sacrifice power for portability in a laptop, and that is what the company is aiming to solve with the Series 7 Ultra. Ultrabooks are definitely the flavor du jour as of late, but one of the biggest issues has been that…

I’m fascinated with maps. I love maps. If I see a paper map around, I never hesitate to look at it, even if it’s of a city in the U.S. I’ve never heard of, or streets I’ll never visit. On my iPhone, I use maps…

It feels like we just unboxed a new 9.7-inch iPad, and indeed we did just this past March. Very few people suspected that there would be another new one a mere seven months later, but behold, the fourth generation iPad had indeed arrived. While it…
