Review: SlateSHIELD 360 iPad Case.

Using your Apple iPad to its fullest varies from person to person. For some, a 3rd party case that ads functionality and utility like SlateSHIELD’s 360 iPad case is perhaps the answer. Design & Features Made out of a hard, ABS plastic, the SlateSHIELD 360 is a touch case of sorts that will protect against scratches and minor drops/shock.

Microsoft To Announce Subsidized Xbox 360 + Kinnect Bundle – $99 Plus $15 Per Month For Two Years.

For most global phone users, subsidized hardware is pretty uncommon. Of course the positive to paying $300, $400 or $500+ for a phone is that you also get it unlocked and sans monthly contract, free to roam until your hearts content. In the U.S., however, things are quite different. Most high-end phones are $200-$300 max.

And now but a few days after that, the Kinect underground scene is already proving to be a quickly evolving network of talent. Hacker Florian Echtler has whipped up some pretty awesome multi-touch demoes that more or less look...

Cubans hate America, in real life, not virtually!

So if you’ve proceeded past the first mission in Call of Duty: Black Ops you’ll know (not to spoil anything) you are in Cuba for a special mission involving Castro himself. Okay, no big deal — so you would think. Without going too far into the missions of the game, Cuba is up in arms about that first mission of the game which involves the United States doing what it hasnt been been able to do in real life for the past 50 years.
