Oct 21, 1:01PM

Oct 21, 12:00PM
Remember the impressive-looking Xperia Z1F handset, shrinking down the flagship Sony Xperia Z1 to a more pocketable size? Some bad news; it's pencilled in only for Asian markets. The good news? Looks like we're getting the Xperia Z1S instead, which is basically the same phone, with a different name.

Surface 2 Review: One Step Forward, Two Steps Behind
Oct 21, 4:00AM
The Surface RT was Microsoft's brassy if ultimately flawed attempt to do a cannonball into the placid, iPad and Kindle-dominated tablet pool. It didn't quite work out. With the Surface 2, Microsoft is taking the opportunity to say "No guys, but really," with a blistering, scary sort of confidence.

Surface Pro 2 Review: A Little Bit Better, But So Much the Same
Oct 21, 4:00AM
The original Surface Pro was many things, but chief among them was strange. Not only did it deftly—if not quite perfectly—straddle the line between tablet and laptop, but it also straddled the line between futurist ideal and problematic product. This time around the Surface Pro 2 is packing plenty of practical improvements, but as a concept it's still on shaky ground.

Brian Eno — Ambient 1: Music for Airports
Oct 21, 1:18AM
In high school I had a weird ritual where I would listen to this suite while I did my math homework. But it sort of makes sense because Brian Eno wanted this music to reduce tension. He conceived it while observing the stress and rush at a German airport during the mid-1970s. And it really works.

Oct 21, 12:28AM
Out with the old in with the new is a good motto for staying on top of new technology, but there's really no reason to burn the 35mm film we have left. Don't worry Olympic committee, we've solidly transitioned to the age of digital photography.

This Supercut Proves That All Running Should Be In Slow Motion
Oct 20, 11:40PM
Just admit it. Sometimes you're jogging in the park or you're on the treadmill and you visualize yourself running in slow motion. Sweat pouring off you, hair swinging, face contorted as you fight for your goal. It's pretty epic.

Trains In The NYC Subway Might Become One Continuous Car
Oct 20, 10:20PM
The MTA is always looking at different ways to redesign subway cars for efficiency, cost-effectiveness, safety, capacity and more. But their rate of ideas frequently outpaces their budget. According to The New York Times, a new design included in a 142-page release is being pushed heavily by planners, though, and could materialize in 30 to 40 years. The idea is articulated trains, or those with one continuous car that are designed like accordion buses.

It's Better That You Don't Remember Coby Because It Just Went Under
Oct 20, 9:43PM
You know those gadgets that you can buy at drugstores? Back in the early 2000s it was all portable CD players and PC speakers. Now it's MP3 players with 2GB of storage and wimpy tablets. And if you've ever done last minute Christmas shopping at a Walgreens you know that the brands start to become recognizable for their no-name-ness. Coby was a staple in that lineup until recently. Now a titan of cheap, sometimes questionable electronics has fallen.
