In the modern smartphone world (U.S. more-so), bigger is better. It seems each flagship device tries to one-up the device before it with an ever-so-slightly larger display. The largest “phone” to date is Samsung’s 5″ Note (aka: “Phablet”). While it’s uses are best suited towards content consumption such as videos and games as well as content creation by way of various artistic apps and the included stylus, for normal day-to-day use,…
Want a reason to put on your rage face this afternoon? Look no further than Crytek’s Director of Creative Development, Rasmus Højengaard, who told gaming cite, CVG, that it would be “absolutely awesome” if next-gen consoles blocked used games. What. The.

As we all know, Apple released the latest Developer Preview of Mountain Lion on Wednesday. The question still remains what new features have been added, what bugs have been exterminated, and what new bugs have crept in.

If this sounds like the daily rant going on inside of your…
If you haven’t been crawling through the interwebs the last couple of days, you’re probably out of tune with the nano-SIM debate that is beginning to boil. Let us fill you in. In short: There are two sides — Apple vs. Everyone else (Nokia, Motorola, RIM and more) — fighting for the next sim card specification. If you’re like many of us here at GS, you’ll feel that such a fight is pretty stupid, and in fact quite over-hyped. We’re…
