Popular Android device is officially defunct It took some time before Android tablets hit their stride. In the beginning, they were expensive, as manufacturers tried to compete with Apple’s iPad on price, which negated one of the primary benefits of Android — it’s an open source platform and products should be cheaper than their proprietary…
Welcome back to PlayStation Underground, our online show about video games. Today, we go underground with TowerFall Dark World, the upcoming expansion to the critically-acclaimed multiplayer “shoot-a-thon” TowerFall on PS4.

Laptops and desktops and monitors, oh my! The last Predator product I remember seeing from Acer was the Predator AG3 Series desktop, a configurable machine that entered the U.S. market a couple of years ago with a starting price of $1,000.

A recent filing with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), however, seems to suggest otherwise. According to Liliputing, the 13-inch laptop cropped…
The cheapest 15-inch Chromebook Not that long ago, the distinction of being the biggest Chromebook belonged to the HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook (14-inch), but that changed earlier this year when Acer introduced its 15.6-inch Chromebook 15 at CES. Acer now plans to outdo itself by launching the cheapest 15-inch Chrome OS-running machine on the market….
Project Composer becomes Dropbox Notes A few weeks back, some sites chanced upon Project Composer, an Evernote-esque note-taking tool Dropbox was testing silently. Curious as to what the fuss was all about, many flocked to the limited-access service, only to be turned away at the gates. While entry is still restricted, you can at least…
Ten Skylake desktop CPUs supposedly outed It may only have been a few months since the first Broadwell CPUs (finally) hit the market, but Intel is already looking set to move on from the Haswell’s troubled 14nm die shrink. Media reports in February suggested that the chip maker could showcase its 6th generation Skylake-S desktop…
Colorful adventures, political simulators, puzzlers, and shooters! We have quite the diverse lineup of games coming to PlayStation this week, including one of the latest projects from the team at Double Fine: Broken Age, out soon on PS4 and PS Vita.
