Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is apparently dominating U.S. living rooms as the most popular non-PC Web video player — but there’s a catch.

Typing on the iPad’s virtual keyboard is actually a pretty smooth experience. It’s certainly not something you’d want to use all day every day, but for catching up with emails, sending a quick memo, or simple document editing on the go, it’s almost perfect. Almost!

Remember KONY 2012? Sure you do. It was all the rage just a month ago, inspiring first world kids of all ages to rise up and fight against grevious crimes against humanity in far-off lands. Actually, no, there didn’t turn out to be a whole lot of rising and fighting, but there was a TON

Apple began airing two new iPhone 4S commercials yesterday, but these were a little different to the Cupertino company’s traditional iPhone ads.

We just swung over to the demo stations at HTC and Sprint’s press even to grab hands-on photos and video of the brand new Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE. It’s an insanely beautiful phone, as you’ll see in the video, but the plastic area around the camera really attracts fingerprints and kind of turned us
