Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact review: light in the hand, heavy on the wallet

 0 Sony's consumer electronics division is in an ongoing state of flux. Having already given up on PCs and e-readers, the company recently pledged to make fewer TVs and smartphones in a bid to get its books back in the black. How Sony's strategizing will affect its output of tablets remains unclear, but no doubt a keen eye is being kept on the reception of its latest slate, the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (don't let that mouthful of a moniker fool you -- Sony only classes the 8-inch tablet as "compact" to differentiate it from its two previous 10.1-inch devices). The company is renowned for the quality of its premium products, and like the two smartphones that make up the rest of the Z3 family, its newest...

Jon Stewart Takes to WWE Ring, Kicks Wrestler in the Gonads

Well, we now know what Jon Stewart will do after he leaves The Daily Show. And wrestlers around the WWE should be cowering in fear. Or at least covering their groin. The Comedy Central host appeared on Monday Night RAW last night, interrupting a segment titled "The Daily Show with Seth Rollins." It featured grappler Seth Rollins talking trash about Stewart and how he failed as an Oscars host and how he’s a “wuss and a phony" and how no one saw his directorial debut, Rosewater. Rollins then said he would force Stewart to “retire immediately” if he dared come into the ring because it’s “hard to host a phony news show with your jaw wired shut.” And then Stewart came into the ring! And he said he has something Rollins will...

The “Shark Tank” Effect On Apps

Sitting at the top of the iTunes App Store for the fourth day in a row and counting is Scholly, another one of the many mobile applications that found its way onto the national stage by way of ABC’s popular TV pitch competition Shark Tank. The show now has a history of being able to move the market when it comes to turning apps that would otherwise be also-rans into mobile hits – at least in terms of visibility and downloads, if not user sentiment or long-term success. Scholly, for example, is being slammed by a number of one- and two-star reviews from consumers who downloaded the app because they saw it on TV and thought it would be useful – especially considering the fight it caused among Shark Tank investors, leading several to...

Pebble Time Smashes Through $6.5M On Kickstarter In Half A Day

Early this morning, we noted that the Pebble Time — Pebble’s new color e-ink  Early this morning, we noted that the Pebble Time — Pebble’s new color e-ink smartwatch — had smashed through its $500,000 goal in an absolutely preposterous seventeen minutes.We don’t generally do play-by-play updates on Kickstarter campaigns, but this one is a bit too crazy not to note. The Pebble train just won’t stop.Nine hours after the launch of the campaign, Kickstarter is still vacuuming up cash at an absurd rate. It now sits at $6.5 million, earning it a spot in the Top 5 most funded projects to ever hit the site.The only projects that have pulled in more? The Ouya console ($8.5M), The Oatmeal’s Exploding Kittens card game ($8.7M), the original...

Samsung Galaxy S6

It looks like Samsung is finally dispensing with its tradition of faux leather, plastic backs for its Galaxy S range. That’s according to the teaser image above from T-Mobile — spotted by The Verge — which gives us the clearest glimpse yet of the Galaxy S6, the phone that Samsung is expected to announce next weekend at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The Korean company has notably introduced two metallic-bodied devices this year — the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 — so it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see that part of the design make its way into its latest flagship. Certainly, the plastic backs have gained few supporters since they make the build of Samsung’s phones feel somewhat cheap. Samsung has...

Line Of Sight

You’ve probably heard that the FAA proposed its rules for commercial drones last weekend. There’s some good and some bad in those rules. The good thing is that drone startups finally know what kind of rules they will operate under once they are codified in the next year or so. The bad: many of the most interesting use cases for drones, including drone delivery, will be unfeasible under these rules. The FAA rules are pretty lenient in that you only need to pass a knowledge test, register your drone and stay under 500 feet. The proposed fees are pretty reasonable, too. But — and this is the deal breaker for many: your drone can only fly within your line of sight (or that of an observer). Now you may think: what if I set up cameras...

Gemalto Claims Its Products Are ‘Secure’ In Response To Reported NSA Hack

Gemalto, the SIM card maker that reportedly had its encryption keys stolen by the NSA and GCHQ, has claimed that its products are secure, despite apparent leaked NSA documents suggesting otherwise.

In a statement issued today, it said initial investigations showed its products to be secure: Initial conclusions already indicate that Gemalto SIM products (as well as banking cards, passports and other products and platforms) are secure and the Company doesn’t expect to endure a significant financial prejudice. We’ll know more about those exact findings on Wednesday. The company has scheduled a press conference in Paris starting at 10:30...
