Windows XP Modded to Boot on Android Wear Watch

Yowzers. YouTuber Dave Bennett has modded Windows XP to boot up on his Android Wear watch (an LG G Watch, specifically). The full 1.5 gb version of the OS, as Bennett mentions in his video, would’ve taken over 12 hours to transfer, so instead he boots up a slimmed down (100 mb) version in the following video: Nicely done, good sir! For those on the fence about smartwatches, this proof of concept may just tip the […]

Stream Movies for Free with Popcorn Time in Your Browser

But now a new player has emerged: Popcorn in Your Browser. As the

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Spec Rumors

If recent rumors and specs are to be believed, then Microsoft isn’t pulling any punches with the impending release of their new Surface Pro 4. Originally intended as a supplanter to Apple’s iPad, Microsoft has since shifted the trajectory of the Surface Pro series to be more laptop than tablet. Now with this impending iteration, it seems like Microsoft may have forged a silver bullet aimed to compete against the new Apple MacBook. At least two models have been announced, both featuring 2160 x 1440 resolution. The low

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active: Not Just a Rumor Anymore

Adventurers and incurable butterfingers alike can now breath easy! Thanks to a quickly fixed leak via Samsung’s Plus Program webpage, we know now that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active is coming soon. No official word yet from Samsung as to availability, exact specs, or cost; however, Samsung historically tends to drop the tank-like Active versions of their flagship phones three months after the initial release. This means that we can probably expect to see the Galaxy S6 Active sometime this July. Based

Help Keep Jailbreaking Legal: Sign the Petition

It’s insane the amount of comments on here and my YouTube channel asking if (or straight up proclaiming) jailbreaking is illegal. Truth is, it isn’t. It was actually made legal by the FCC a few years ago so we can just stop that conversation right there. Or can we… Turns out the Copyright office will be holding a hearing on May 21st to discuss the legality of jailbreaking again. Jay Freeman, aka Saurik and creator

Iron-Man Themed Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Coming Soon

There were some renders of various Avengers themed Galaxy S6’s floating around the web not too long ago, but no one was quite sure if they were the real deal or just a fanboy’s fantasy. Today, however, Samsung tweeted the following image on their official Twitter account: Welp. Guess that means at least the Iron Man one might be real (or Samsung was inspired by the rendering and saw dollar signs). The image from the

Skype Now Does Real-Time Translations

Microsoft just pulled the beta tag off of their new real-time translation service for Skype. No longer do you need to sign up for a waiting list to test out the futuristic-like feature. Now, if we’re honest, it’s not quite real-time, more like a few seconds delay (which is enough to make a conversation a bit slower than typing in my opinion), but it’s still a pretty decent breakthrough with a very difficult technological challenge (Siri/Google
