At this year’s CES, Samsung and Dell announced new Mac-friendly monitors. Samsung’s ViewFinity S9 is a 5K 27-inch monitor with a design that looks suspiciously similar to Apple’s Studio Display. Dell’s UltraSharp 32 6K is a (presumably cheaper) alternative to the $5K Pro Display XDR. Prior to this, the only third-party option for Macs was LG’s UltraFine 5K. So what’s going on? Why have things suddenly gotten so much better for Mac users after years of drought?...

The Samsung ATIV Odyssey was finally catapulted at CES 2013. Amongst the important events happening at CES 2013 the Samsung Windows 8 entry level phone was not easy to ignore. Just like other Samsung phones the device has Super AMOLED display and is a delight to hold in hands, thanks to its feather like weight. The phone has a 4-inch screen with a WVGA 480×800 resolution. Under the hood there is a 1....

So, is it a triumphant return? Here’s the full Tech Advisor review of the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go. Design & Build While the name might be a little too close to Google’s Pixelbook Go, the price and reduced specs show that Samsung isn’t quite taking aim at that particular model, but rather offering a simple and affordable Chromebook that should appeal to most people. The plastic casing means that the device is reasonably lightweight (coming in at 1....

The concept of bolting a huge zoom lens to the back of a smartphone isn’t new. In fact, Samsung has already tried a couple of times in the past with the Galaxy Camera and Galaxy S4 Zoom. Both were bad products and were arguably the worst of both worlds instead of being the best. They were underpowered, and their cameras weren’t particularly good. Clearly, then, Samsung is determined to make the marriage work third time around with the new Galaxy K Zoom....

Apple—the core rival and competitor of the flagship products from the House of Samsung is taking the accolades with a pinch of salt. With the buzz focusing on the descriptions and pictures of the Samsung Galaxy S4—the Apple IPad and iPhone are certainly playing second fiddle in the world of gadgets and hi-tech wireless devices. Well, the retaliation from Apple was predictable. A new page featured on its website proclaims—”There’s iPhone and then there’s everything else”....

The idea is that the artificial window can simulate the full range of lighting conditions throughout the day, mimicking the sun’s movement across the sky. Samsung also claims that the SunnyFive device will help users to synthesize vitamin D (a process in the human body that requires sunlight). This means that you’ll be able to generate vitamin D without exposing yourself to the actual sun, whether by choice or necessity....

The San Antonio Spurs have now won 11 straight games and some of them have been without Duncan and Ginobili. The Spurs currently hold the best record in the NBA with 39-11. And that doesn’t make much sense considering how old they are. Dig into what they are about though, and it will make sense. The San Antonio Spurs are an anomaly. The Spurs are coached by a man who has undergone CIA training....

Continuing his trend of writing blogs for Famitsu, Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai gave fans a broader perspective as to what kind of effort goes into each and every installment of the fabled fighting franchise. According to the producer for the impending Wii U and 3DS versions, there’s an incredible amount of hard work that goes into each and every Smash, and admits that it gets incredibly hard to cram more than 20 fighters in his games....

Chelsea travel to Anfield on Saturday and will face an in-form Salah, with the Egypt international having netted netted 14 times in all competitions since signing from Roma in the off-season. Salah was previously on the books at Stamford Bridge before his 2016 move to the Italian capital, but Conte regards him as just one of several quality players for the Reds. “I know him very well; he played in Italy for many years,” said Conte....

Egypt winger Salah beat Liverpool team-mate Sadio Mane and Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the prize at a CAF gala in Accra and succeeds Leicester City and Algeria star Riyad Mahrez as the continent’s leading player.

But there was a problem with Cheney’s dismissal of further U.N. inspections. The president, NEWSWEEK has learned, hadn’t told him to say it. Or so backpedaling officials claimed afterward, worried that Bush looked duplicitous–insisting he hadn’t decided what to do when, in fact, he was ready to shout, “Let’s roll!” “The president said, ‘I want you to include the following’,” Card told NEWSWEEK. “We knew the gist, but not every word....

The tablet has an all-plastic body, very typically Samsung and an 8-inch display with a resolution of 1280X800 pixels. In terms of screen resolution, it does fare better than its completion, but we wonder if the iPad Mini 2 with Retina Display will spoil this success in a short while. And for those busybodies who need to do a million things all at once, this one’s really the ideal multitasking device you’ve been waiting for....
