LG is demoing some of its new webOS 3.0 features here at CES 2016. We stopped by the booth to check out some of them and ultimately came away pretty impressed with the new “Magic Mobile Connection” feature. Basically, Magic Mobile Connection syncs up with your Android smartphone through a special LG app and allows you to access apps — maps, your photo gallery, anything — right on your...
We spend a lot of time in front of the TV — an average of four hours each day, according to Nielsen. It’s become a decades-old pastime, during holidays, parties or simply after a long day of work. Over the years, however, the experience has largely remained the same, dull. Sure, we’ve seen innovations like the remote, sharper screens and DVR; a natural evolution. But nothing has truly...
T-Mobile has announced that it will soon be bringing a number of new features and enhancements to its Samsung Galaxy S III — one of which will be a virtual preload of Marvel's The Avengers for both new and existing users. The movie will be available to download from the Samsung Media Hub, exclusively for T-Mobile customers, on September 25. In addition to this, T-Mobile will be...
I like analysts, I think they provide a good look at the overall performance of the mobile market and provide detailed information on how different phone makers and operating systems are competing against one another. I love reports from IDC, comScore, Nielsen and others. It's the financial analysts that are really pushing my buttons these days. Every morning I wake up to a new report...
Apple has entered talks with the biggest cable operators in the United States in an effort to bring "live television and other content" to its set-top box, according to sources familiar with the matter, who have been speaking to The Wall Street Journal. While this represents the Cupertino company's most ambitious leap into the living room to date, it seems the operators may not be keen...
Seth Horvitz, a Washington, D.C. resident, recently took to Amazon to order a brand new 39-inch Westinghouse LED HDTV from one of Amazon’s third-party retailers. He didn’t get a television. He didn’t accidentally get a monitor. He didn’t get an empty box (which might have been better than what he received). He did get, however, a brand new $2,132 Sig Sauer SIG716 semi-automatic assault...
You know what they say: Go big or go home. That saying is never truer than when it comes to a Super Bowl party. Unlike many other types of get-togethers, the gear is as important — perhaps even more important — than any other aspect. So if you could, how would you pimp out your Super Bowl shindig? Here are a few ways I’d do it, if I could… The Pimped-Out Super Bowl Party 1. An epic...

You may not be familiar with Apple's Jeff Robbin, but you'll certainly be familiar with his work. He's the vice president of consumer applications for the Cupertino company and the man who created iTunes. He also helped develop the original iPod along with Tony Fadell. Robbin's latest project is one that we've been hearing about a lot lately: the Apple television set. According to a...
For about six weeks I had the privilege of moving my several years old Sharp 32-inch 720p TV set out of my living room and staring at the shiny new Samsung UN46D7000 set up in its place. The Sammy is a 46-inch full 1080p HDTV with 3D capabilities, a 240 HZ refresh rate, and a slew of integrated Net connectivity bundled under the header Smart TV. It comes out of the box with HDMI, USB,...
