Where Are They Now: The Obama Marshmallow Canon Kid

I Admit It: I Alphabetize My Spotify Playlists

It’s Sunday night, I haven’t eaten yet, I’ve got to get up for work in a few hours time. Heck, I haven’t even showered. Why?

Hands On With the Steam Controller: Gloriously Bizarre

Valve had a CES event tonight, and though there was neither hide nor hair of a finished official Steam Box, Steam controllers were on hand for the trying and man they are weird. But in a way that makes me hopeful. The first thing you’ll notice when you hold a Steam controller is the way…

Sony’s Brand New 4K TVs: No Gimmicks, Just Beautiful

Sony’s new 4K TVs are unbendingly plain but pretty much what a reasonable near-future human would really want in a giant TV: a big beautiful screen that doesn’t need extra curves or egregious size to give you eyegasms.
