Have you ever thought about what the world would be like if we actually lived in Minority Report? Or accidentally touched your computer monitor thinking it was your phone or iPad? Grown tired of constantly [...]

For some reason, we don’t care about the fact it costs an extra few bucks to add sweet potato fries (or extra cheese) to anything, but $3 for an app is criminal. We’ll happily pay [...]

Being responsible for an invention that changes the world has been a dream of ours since we were little. It doesn’t matter if you’re designing your dream pad out of Legos or designing a new [...]

Touchscreen devices are fantastic... until you try to get detailed with a finger drawing. It's too fat. It's always too fat. You just can't get the precise lines you want with pointer and we don't [...]

Laser tag gets a bum rap. It's either thought of as a kid's game or a cheesy date idea, when in reality, it's actually pretty damn fun. Instead of going to some black light saturated [...]
