Why "premium" HDMI cables are a scam and make no sense

If you had a few extra pennies, chances are you bought a new HDTV and noticed the overly priced HDMI cables that are littered through out the store. Even when I had my HDTV delivered, the delivery man tried to tell me that the cables I got from my cable company (which were free) weren’t good enough and he himself paid $200 for top of the line cables. Under duress of not having my tv dropped, I didn’t calling me a blooming idiot or offer to sell him this new invisible denim outfit that only the intelligent can see.

t3ch Review - Logitech Marathon Mouse M705

At a glance, the Marathon Mouse M705 is clearly a “revised” version of Logitech’s bestselling VX Revolution. As the owner of both mice, I put them to the test to see whether or not this is a worthy replacement of the VX.

How does this affect the quality of the product? Read on!

Apple is interested in dual-mode touchscreen laptops and desktops

“The WIPO patent application, titled “Transitioning Between Modes of Input,” describes how a iMac-like computer could be tilted from a vertical to more horizontal position.

Switching the display back would trigger a switch to mouse and keyboard input.” — Ars Technica

Samsung's 7 inch Galaxy tablet caught on video

Nothing really exciting to see, but if you’re waiting for the day when the iPad is no longer king of tablets, this is a glimpse of hope. Lets admit it, it looks like a really funny smartphone — he’s not holding it like an iPad, instead he’s clasping his fingers around it (like you’d hold a smartphone).

Seems like a neat device, but 7 inches just doesn’t seem like a “tablet size” to me.

Apple is making bigger gains in business markets than PC's

This is a little tidbit of surprising news from the business world — apparently, Apple is making deep strides into the business market, and until now PC’s have been the titans of the enterprise world. If you take a minute, and look into the offices of such companies as Twitter, Facebook, Squarespace, Google etc. — you’ll see that every one of their employees is using a Mac. These days, it’s just the hip thing for tech companies to do — and right now, tech companies are king of consumer enterprise.
