Xbox One Can Tell When it is Overheating
The Xbox One can tell when things are getting too hot to handle and knows what to do to stop it. One of the very real concerns fans have regarding the Xbox One is rooted firmly in the Xbox’s past: The Red Ring of Death. Fans who have been through two, three, five, or more systems can’t help but wonder if Microsoft’s new system will suffer the same fate as their current one. An...
Oculus Rift Lands $16m in Funding, Virtual Reality To Grace Our Eyeballs Soon
Oculus VR, the startup behind the renowned Oculus Rift virtual reality glasses, has snagged $16 million in investment funding. Considering the company's well-known desire to get its VR headware into the public's hands, we'll take that to mean a consumer product version is practically a lock. Only Kickstarter funders and devs have been able to get their hands on the device. Not that...
Microsoft Exec: We Made a Mistake Giving OEMs Free Reign Over Hardware
One of the biggest reasons some customers choose a PC over a Mac is the cost. And the reason that, spec for spec, Windows machines are often much cheaper than an OS X-powered computer is because there is a diversity of OEMs designing and manufacturing a range of hardware at various price points. If competition drives down the price, then it's no surprise that Apple, which keeps an iron...
Buffalo Gear: GoPro Hero3, Chromebook and Electropolished Steel Foosball Table
GoPro Hero3 This little guy is going right into my pocket when it’s released on Nov. 14. If I could get one now I would, but ugh, nope, it’s not out yet. It’s not like I participate in any extreme sports, but man, the videos GoPro make absolutely convince me that the Hero3 needs to be a day-one purchase. Now 30 percent smaller and 25 percent light, the $399 Black Edition, one of three...
Buffalo Gear: Bad Piggies, Nook HD & HD+, and Campfire Cologne
Bad Piggies I didn't plan on touching this game when it came out — I'd already spent too many wasted hours with Angry Birds — and then Ralph hands me his iPad and tells me to try it out. Ten levels later and I couldn't put it down. Rovio certainly has the formula for addicting mobile games down to a science, and Bad Piggies is just different enough from Angry Birds — even though it...
Buffalo Gear: Boomer Action Figure, Neo Geo X, Custom Video Game Covers
Boomer Action Figure While not the most threatening of special infected in the Left 4 Dead series, Boomers have a reputation for being annoying — and horrifyingly grotesque. Perhaps their best trait (if you can call it that) is that they’re easily the most satisfying to kill — a simple shot to the gut will result in a spectacular firework show of blood and guts, with the only leftovers...
Buffalo Gear: Spy Hawk, Powerbag Deluxe and Nerf Hail-Fire Blaster
Spy Hawk Embrace your inner spy, and wreak havoc on Jim from down the street with the Spy Hawk. What kid doesn’t want an RC glider with built-in 5-megapixel camera? Kids these days have access to some pretty phenomenal toys. The Spy Hawk has the ability to stream live video back to the device’s remote, which has a 3.5-inch LCD screen. In addition, there’s an SD card slot for recording...
Buffalo Gear: The Burning House, Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures and Ouya
The Burning House by Foster Huntington There are things we cherish in this world, like every normal human being should — friends, family, good health. And then there are the material possessions — computer, camera, book — that, even with the danger of a fire lurking, we would take with us in a heartbeat. Whether its for practical or sentimental reasons, we're all attached to our...
Buffalo Gear: Canon EOS Rebel T4i, Star Wars iPhone Cases and T-Rex Hunter's Trophy
Canon T4i Silent and smooth Movie Servo AF (a first for DSLRs with Full-time AF in video mode). That's pretty much all you need to know about the new T4i. Oh, and compatibility with a new line of STM lenses, which are designed specifically for the T4i's video capabilities. In addition, Canon has revamped its highly popular T3i model by introducing large touchscreen controls, on-board...
