Data caps suck on mobile devices. They crimp our style, really. But what’s even more despicable are those same caps implemented on our seemingly infinite amounts of copper and fiber home internet connections. While initial “soft caps” started in the 200-250 GB range, in more recent months/years we’ve seen hard line internet drop as low as a handful of gigabytes. Now, simply having a super low data plan for people who rarely use the...
HD TV/content is fun to watch and all. But let’s be real. It’s allure isn’t what it used to be. Hell. ~4.5″ phone screens are HD (albeit 720p) now. But the fine folks of Japan are working on the next big thing in TV — 8K Super Hi-Vision. Super Hi-Vision is essentially like having four miniature HD TVs crammed into four equal parts of your TV. The resolution of 7680 x 4320 is exactly the same as 1920 x 1080 multiplied by four. We saw a Panasonic...

Like just about every other router, wired ethernet ports allow physical connectivity while a pair of USB ports aim to make any external hard drive you have lying around turn into instant network storage. Bonus: printers hooked up via the USB ports on...
Frequent Twitter? Glance at it once a week? Either way, you’ve no doubt seen a spam tweet (or 30), had an insane amount of spammers follow you (see Caleb’s predicament) or just been overwhelmed with reporting a ton of spammers as spam. That last point, marking people as spammers, has been a part-time job as of late for myself (and I’m sure others). Many times I felt that it was for naught; Twitter had so much other things to do and the bots were coming...
