Your Macbook camera could be spying on you, and you wouldn’t even know! Do you feel like someone is watching you?
Microsoft is running out of the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2. Mike is part of the problem. Look at him with his shiny new Microsoft Surface. So, is that a good problem to have, or is it manufactured?
Would you rather have a Surface Pro 2 or the new LG Chromebase that was just announced? Check it out here on The Verge.
The new Mac Pro’s are being made in Murrica! MURRRRICCCCAAAAAA! Check out the article on SF Gate.
Have I mentioned how much I love my Moto X? Active Notifications are definitely where it’s at.
Do you remember Blackberry? Apparently they are now bundling BBM with certain LG handsets. A match made in heaven. Check out the article here on Tech Crunch.
Isn’t it crazy how things come full circle like that? Thank you social media.
Sprint might purchase T-Mobile. Check out the article here on Forbes.
Check out this awesome car made with Legos. I want one. Actually, I want two, for a demolition derby race.
Delta says no phone calls. Thank you Delta. Check out the article on USA Today.
Be sure to check out the 2013 Google Zeitgeist video. It’s always fun looking at what other people search for.
