It’s different, and many would say improved – but what do you say?
Right now, the hottest thing in the Android Universe is the Galaxy S5. Usually we’re the hottest thing in the Android universe, but we’re OK being behind the new phone from the biggest Android OEM for a few weeks. And because this is the Internet, you can’t say the words Galaxy S5 without someone else saying the words TouchWiz.

Bring a little retro gaming to your Easter weekend with this 16-bit classic
I’ve been playing around with Samsung’s Gamepad accessory with the Galaxy S5 this past week, and one of the Gamepad’s big strengths is classic side-scrolling platform games like SEGA’s Sonic CD. Originally released in 1993 for the SEGA CD (Mega CD), Sonic CD has the company’s spiky mascot embarking on an adventure through time, doing battle not only with Dr. Robotnik, but a [Read More...]
