Was BlackBerry's Super Bowl Ad the Dumbest Tech Ad You've Ever Seen?
#chatroom BlackBerry's Super Bowl ad from last night was... uh... interesting. The company claimed that in 30 seconds, it was easier to show us what BB10 couldn't do—which is perhaps some of the laziest marketing ever. More » Read similar

How Often Do You Use Your Phone to Make Actual Calls?
#chatroom Smartphones. The more you think about it, the more the term just seems antiquated. A relic that just stuck around, sort of like the word "rewind." With hulking phablets coming out more frequently and in larger sizes, it seems like the phone part of a phone is increasingly incidental. More » Read similar

What Was the First Cellphone You Ever Owned?
#chatroom As of today, shocking as it may be, we as a species have been desperately clutching cell phones like our lives depended on it for the past 40 years. And it's hard not to get a little nostalgic. Because regardless of whether your first handset was a massive grey brick from the 80s, a black, slightly smaller brick from the 90s, or a sleek, silver flippy thing from the dawn of the new millenium, your phone has undoubtedly seen a few upgrades.

How Much of Your Holiday Shopping Did You Do Online?
#chatroom We live in a cyberland future where malls exist inside your computer and the presents you buy are magically delivered to you by, well, delivery men. With each Christmas that passes, online shopping becomes more and more the norm until eventually brick and mortar stores will be nothing but vacant museums of an age gone by. More » Read similar

Is This Multi-Purpose Pasta Tool a Kitchen Saviour or Scourge?
#chatroom Sometimes a multi-tasking kitchen tool can go too far, taking on so many tasks that it sucks at everything it tries to do. The Chef2 spoon appeared to strike a nice balance between spatula and tong duties. But this multifunction pasta prepper from Sagaform? It might be stretching itself too thin. More » Read similar

What's The Most Annoying First World Problem You Are Still Waiting on Tech to Solve?
#chatroom As tech makes our lives easier and easier, the little incoveniences that are left just get more glaring by contrast. Sure, I don't have to use a chamber pot but sometimes my magical pocket computer that knows practically everything gets uncomfortably warm when I'm using to to play GTA III and that's annoying.

Were You Disappointed By the Samsung Galaxy S IV?
#chatroom So, following last night's Samsung announcement, it's fair to say that we're a little underwhelmed. While we're reserving final judgement until we review it properly, the new Galaxy S IV doesn't seem to be quite the super phone we were expecting. Our very own Brent Rose explains: More » Read similar

Would You Pay For Ad-Free YouTube?
#chatroom Reports from both Fortune and The Guardian indicate that Google is planning to start a subscription music service like Spotify soon. But the craziest little nugget buried in the reports: YouTube might be getting an ad-free option. Imagine no more Vevo ads. Hello, holy grail. More » Read similar

This Is Why Yesterday's New York Post Cover Matters to You
#chatroom Yesterday, as you probably know, the New York Post ran a front page photo of a man about to be struck and killed by an oncoming subway train. It set the Internet on fire, and raised a lot of questions about the photographer's role in the man's death. This is a technology issue. More » Read similar

Are You Going to Buy a PlayStation 4?
#chatroom Now that we've had a firsthand look at the undeniably incredible—although not all that revolutionary—graphics that the PS4's blazing fast guts will be spewing forth, we can actually start considering if its going to be worth shelling out the (currently undisclosed amount of) money required. Granted, we still have no idea what the damn thing is actually going to look like, and regardless of what a projected release of "Holiday 2013" actually means, it's safe to assume we've got some time to mull it over.

DNA vs Razr: What's Your Pick?
#chatroom The HTC Droid DNA and Motorola's Droid RAZR HD/RAZR MAXX HD are all sweet handsets. The DNA of course has an edge in terms of screen and display while the RAZRs' battery lives are unmatched in the Android ecosystem. Sure the HTC One will be frickin' awesome when it does eventually show up but "later this spring" is just too long to wait. So, if you had a phone upgrade coming your way this weekend—as I do—and the iOS option is right out, which phone would you choose? More » Read similar

What Did You Think of The Hobbit at 48 FPS?
#chatroom So The Hobbit is out today, and if you're a megafan, maybe you saw it at midnight, or maybe you're seeing it tonight. Or maybe you took off today to see it nine times in a row and are about to collapse in a pool of human waste. If you saw it, or if you're going to see it, you've probably heard about (or will notice) a big change in the way it was shot. Specifically, The Hobbit is shot at 48 frames per second, and everyone's freaking out. More » Read similar

How Many Gifts Are You Selling on eBay?
#chatroom Every year, without fail, we all receive some bad gifts. Sure, you may've scored that phone, e-reader or laptop that you were lusting after, but there will be shockers, too: a hand-knitted sweater from your grandma, novelty socks, or, perhaps if you're incredibly unlucky, an $80 Walmart tablet. And with gifts that bad, there's only thing for it: eBay. More » Read similar

Are You Getting Less Spam Mail?
#chatroom The Economist has a chart from Kaspersky Lab, a security firm, that shows that spam mail is on a decline. Supposedly, it's a combination of spam filters actually working, the authentication of senders and more police crackdowns on Nigerian princes. In fact, in the past year, junk mail has declined from around 80% to 67%. Do you guys agree with this study? Are you noticing less spam in your inboxes? More » Read similar

What Age Should Kids Get Their First Smartphone?
#chatroom Look at this precious child screaming her little self hoarse because she got an iPhone for her 11th birthday. Eleven! Good lord, the kids they get smartphones young. I didn't have any phone until I was 17! Yes, the times have changed, but does this certifiable child really need an iPhone 4? I mean, if you're going to get this excited about two-year-old hardware, maybe you shouldn't have it! How old do you have to be before you get a smartphone? [Thanks, Alyssa!] More » Read similar
