PlayStation Vita Review: You Don’t Need Another Beautiful Smart Gadget

The PSP never exploded. The Nintendo 3DS is a letdown. Now it’s 2012, and Sony has the chance for a clean start that’ll put console-caliber games in your bag.

Who Wants to Blow Up a Truck This Valentines Day?

Valentines Day is fast approaching and if you’re dateless again this year (*raises hand*), don’t drown your sorrows with a bottle of Jack. Especially not when you can take out your unloved frustrations with an Internet-connected machine gun.

Sony’s Underwater Cybershot TX200V Is the iPhone’s Fat Photo-Taking Cousin

Sony’s new glass-faced TX200V is a decidedly opulent stab at something we’ve been asking for around here: a waterproof camera that doesn’t sacrifice optics and design. It’s just that it does it at a pretty painful price point. The TX200V has Sony’s new 18.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor, which has the hugest resolution in any…

Apple, Microsoft Supplier Chief Calls His One Million Employees “Animals”

Terry Gou is the chairman of Hon Hai Precision, the owners of Foxconn. He’s also an insensitive asshat.
