This week, Google announced that 48fps and 60fps video playback will be available on YouTube sometime in the next few months.

802.11ac router’s max speed of 1,300Mbps was pretty crazy, think

bought your first Windows 8 PC. After poking around for a bit you’ve
finally found your way to the Desktop. What’s that in the bottom left

rewarded with a hideous new Start screen,...

hoarding for Sony 4K. This surprised me, because I know there’s
virtually zero 4K...
