Nokia’s Lumia 1020 is capable of some incredible photos. We’ve shared some of our own favorite shots, given the device the full review treatment, and even put it up against its prototype PureView progenitor, and we still can’t get enough: we just love snapping shots with this ...

Even if you’re not dual-wielding mobiles like some modern-day gunslinger, you’re still probably devoting an entire pants pocket to your smartphone on account of its

The standard-issue Starfleet communicator of the 2260s is a marvel of Federation technology. The flip-top device is ruggedized for adverse interplanetary environments, outfitted with a transponder for transporter lock-on, and it’s capable of transmitting voice and data over thousands of kilometers -even through solid rock- without the aid of a cellular network. Sadly, it is also completely fictitious. The communicator, a product of the keen imagination and amazing design talents of Desilu model-maker Wah Chang, burst into the public consciousness as a prop on the original Star ...
Around here, we’re no strangers to wrist-worn smart devices. From bare-bones Bluetooth sport watches to full-on smartphones condensed to wearable size, we’ve seen them all. Problem is, we haven’t been all that impressed by what we’ve seen. Whether by halfhearted design or a misguided quest for all-encompassing functionality, most of the intelligent watches we’ve strapped on have very ...
