Technology conventions aren’t dying – they’re evolving

, Mar 2nd 2013 Discuss [0]

If this year’s Mobile World Congress taught us one thing, it’s that no matter how interesting and innovative the gadget makers and software developers of our global community are, it’s the top brands that end up making or breaking the show. Make or break the show for the press, that is. Case in point: our several articles written from our chat with Google’s Mathias Duarte – they ended up easily becoming some of the most popular posts we had this week, and Google didn’t reveal any new products at the convention. In fact, they didn’t have a stand – the chat we had wasn’t even on the map. And yet, there it is – Google stole the show anyway.

SlashGear Morning Wrap-up: February 18th, 2013

This week we're getting extra pumped up for Mobile World Congress as the big events start at the end of it - it's a 7 day count-down for some, but a 5 day count-down for your humble narrator! Before we get in to all that though, time marches on - with Destiny we've got a game that's set to take place in a post-apocalyptic future with the Xbox 720, PlayStation 4, and PC set to take on the brunt of this next-generation beast. You'll also want to see the very first-ever car backflip as made real by the Mini Countryman. Also remember that Russian meteorite? You can buy bits of it if you're feeling like money is burning a hole in your pocket - and you'd rather that fire come from space. Read The Full Story

In fact the first installment will be on those two consoles, but essentially everything afterward has been confirmed in legal documents to be hitting no less than the PlayStation 4, the Xbox 720, and the PC. The information that reveals said bits and pieces comes from a Call of Duty legal dispute where the contract between Activision and Bungie had to be unsealed. Read The Full Story

, Feb 18th 2013 Discuss [0]

The thought of a computer that never crashes is incredibly appealing to anyone who has ever used a computer. Researchers from the University College London have created a computer system that they call a "systemic" computer that is able to self-repair and instantly recover from crashes. The researchers believe that their systemic computer could have many uses including the ability to help military drones reprogram themselves to cope with damage sustained in combat.

BioShock Infinite “Icarus” trailer series redefines the art

, Feb 15th 2013 Discuss [0]

This week we're seeing the second in a series of retro-documentary trailers made for the upcoming game BioShock Infinite going by the name "Columbia: a Modern Day Icarus?" The actual content of the game becomes more enticing each moment one watches each of the two trailers that have been released thus far, so much so that I've passed these video spots on to friends and colleagues even when they're not the type of people who would ever end up playing the final product. This sharing is important in and of itself, as the medium almost becomes the message itself with such zeal as we'd only otherwise find in an art film meant for a gallery. Read The Full Story
