"Apple won't allow you set third-party apps as default in iOS." That's pretty much the bulk of the problem. Something as simple as a better Alarm Clock app can never be as good as the Apple one because the 3rd party one has to be opened to work. So I effectively agree with you.

Bulletstorm... LOL because I can make people levitate towards me, shoot them with a laser then launch them 100 feet away from me and insta-gib in to 50 pieces.

My most embarrassing tweet "I joined Twitter today."

Well written article. I disagree 100% though. Tech go forward.

My wife said she needs 15 minutes with this remote.

Yeah no QNAP kind of sucks. I am a 3D animator and I have used pretty much all of the 4 and 5 drive NAS boxes and the 4 drive QNAP TS-459 pro ii outperforms every one on this list. The only valid argument against QNAP is from quasum and their Apple support is lacking. But Apple is just as guilty as performance of…

I miss 16:10 being the standard aspect ratio of PC monitors.

VOTE: QNAP TS-459 Pro II

Dear FPS purist,

I loaded iTunes 11 on my WMCE unit at home last night and rebooted but haven't had a chance to use it yet? Does anyone know how it handles a large share of music say 100+Gb in size? (all legit CD rips of my own purchase, though I'm sure no one believes me) You see, previous versions of iTunes were TERRIBLE at handling…

Cosmo needs to take this opportunity to take this six years and do something productive with it like get a non-computer related degree. That can easily be done in 6 years and then when he is finally allowed to be back on the internet he can likely be one of our bosses at some company and have employees he can force to…

Isn't this what you spouses' are for? To stop other stupid spouses from having stupid ideas like naming our kids Hashtag? The mother of this baby clearly agreed to this while still under the effects of the epidural.

That cat was running to kill something and I think you Cheetah us from seeing the kill!

I would only pay on two conditions. #1 Peer review of existing articles and future edits must become reviewed for accuracy as well. #2 MUST REMAIN FREE FOR ALL EDUCATIONAL AND STUDENT USES!!!

That's what I came to say as well.... "obviously" ThatManicalFinn is making a wild speculative accusation without any basis in fact.

Houston TX here... still getting the extortion pop up requiring more $$$ to use this feature.

Hey Gizmodo. Be VERY careful on the "lots of water" suggestions. You need to take in to account the size of Notorious B.O.B. He looks like he might be near 6 foot tall? Now lets say someone 4' 9" amd skinny decides to try and drink that amount of water. They're likely to end up in a hospital or die from over-hydration…

I think #16 is wrong: 16. Tron (1982) - and meanwhile, Tron gave us our first computer VFX and our first glimpse of a virtual world

I have the G500 and my son has the DeathAdder. I prefer the G500 as that third button on the side throws grenades for me in all the FPS I play that have grenades. The other two buttons are crouch and reload of course.

I still really skeptical on the durability of the controller with the display on it. 8 -10 year olds are really tough on controllers.
