Just get the old Moto G 4G (LTE), which has a micro SD slot then. But it costs something like 199$.

To kill the screen latency, you could use Miracast, which seems to be much faster than the chromecast (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-5JJhKMph8 ) or connect a cable (best solution: no heat because of the video encodin

Yep, I think the A8 (or A7X) could be really close to the performances of entry level CPUs used in MacBook air! An A7 scores 2564 and an i3-3217U 3095. But if you look at the Atom Bay Trail, which scores 2630, you see that Intel did a nice

Wow, I installed Windows 8 on a T7100 (1.8Ghz) and it runs super smoothly, but some people were complaining of Tegra 3 windows RT tablet being slow? (try googling "tegra 3 windows RT slow") That is weird! Can we really trust those

Lesson to learn: don't tie down your service and/or brand to an existing brand/service. Otherwise you're both dependent of that service and/or at risk to get sued sooner or later.

Yes! And also you can take it with you to take notes efficiently with your phone/tablet at school/conference! One keyboard for all you devices, so you don't have to buy multiple ones or get used to each keyboard. This is bril

Wow, so does all the processing happen on the phone itself? That's impressive! I thought it was sent on a server to be processed.

Maybe I got brainwashed by their video, but I indeed think that a laptop like the Dell Latitude 13 ( http://youtu.be/rq5dqKWymP8 ) is much better than a tablet. There is a keyboard, a network activity light on the back of the

Do you need to be on the same local network as the user to do that or does that work with an attacker being on the internet?

Sure enough, that's a real problem when the attacker is on the local network, but what if the attacker is not on the local network? Because I think that this attack is supposed to work from an external network, or the Internet.

I meant to say "share files" instead of "share data". But you're right, as I said, "Please correct me if I'm wrong". What I really wanted to say is that USB has been designed with so many different us

At least one of the attack, the CSRF on the Asus RT-N56U, seems to need the IP address of the router. Does this mean that this attack is useless when the attacker doesn't know the IP of the router? Or is there a way to know it remotely

First of all, I think the title has been chosen to click-bait the reader. Second, maybe the real problem is that USB was never designed to be the main way to physically share data, or not even to be used with external storage? Please correc

Why are most of the lithium cells cylindrical, while most of our devices are cuboid? (I think of phones, laptops, external battries... but phones and most laptops have flat lithium cells nowadays). Is cylindrical less expensive? Is it more

Okay, thanks for the explanation on the chroma upsampling! I use Linux but it should work all the same. When I said that I embedded the videos in a web page, I wrote a small page from scratch to display them in my browser, locally, without

Sorry but H264 does not use JPEG for its keyframes, although it's not very different. There are a lot of differences between GIF and H264, like H264 specifies that you can use multiple reference frames, which is not the case with Anima

Did you see that it is only stabilizing rotation? If it looks so stable that's because the lens of the iPhone is at the exact center of the wheel. If you were to move your phone along a X or Y axis, I don't think those movements w

I may be a nitpicker, but for me 4k is 4096x2160, or am I wrong? This screen is UHD, or 2160p but not 4k.

It may be related to Intel's drivers, as I am playing Team Fortress 2 on Linux, which is I believe native OpenGL, and it is significantly slower than on Windows with an intel GPU.

If you look carefully you'll notice that the only difference between the $299 monitors and the Ultra HD monitor in term of design is a thinner bezel. Maybe it would have increased the price much more for virtually nothing to have a thi
