Don't waste those screens: these social TV apps help you tap into the modern viewer

TV has always been social - from water cooler chatter around Game of Thrones recaps to Academy Awards results and Super Bowl games. We like to watch TV with others, talk about what we've just seen, and share our opinions about what transpired on the screen.

Startups Asking "Why Buy When You Can Rent, Share and Borrow?"

Renting, not buying, is increasingly becoming the choice way for consumers to experience new things, try out new tools, get around and do even more in their day-to-day lives. There are a number of startups cropping up to capitalize on the growing tendency people have not to want to commit to the expense associated with purchases (especially for big ticket items).

Delicious makes drastic changes to its feature set. Scraps "stacks", replaces with good ol' tags.

As someone who saw Delicious' stacks feature as its USP, I'm somewhat surprised at this. Delicious has decided to make changes to its core feature set, the most significant being the removal of "stacks," a feature which let its users collaboratively create collections of links.

Are FPGAs the future of password cracking and supercomputing? | ExtremeTech

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are versatile silicon chips that are proving to be extremely fast at certain operations. Even though GPUs run at 1GHz+ and have thousands of stream processors, they are still being beaten by FPGAs that use less power and run at much lower clockspeeds.

SiriBerry? BlackBerry 10 developer release adds Siri-like voice commands

So it's not too surprising to see familiar-sounding voice commands in the latest update to RIM's BlackBerry 10 Developer Alpha release.
