The Rampant, Risky Babbling of Android Apps

Eurecom researchers recently developed an Android app that can monitor the network traffic of other apps to alert users of suspicious or malicious activity. With more than 1.2 million applications in the Google Play store, there are multiple programs for performing a particular task.

Apple vs. Lenovo: Lenovo's Coming-Out Party

If there is one vendor on the planet that has the capability to fight Apple -- on paper, it is Lenovo. Lenovo this week will hold its annual Lenovo Tech World event in China, showcasing the company's new breadth.

Origin EON15-X review: You'll find a desktop CPU in this laptop, and that's a good thing

It’s time to go Glengarry Glen Ross on dual-core processors in gaming laptops. As in, hey dual-core processor, I’ve got some bad news for you from downtown: Mitch and Murray said you’re fired because gaming laptops should go to closers. And yes, dual-core, you can’t close the deal on high-end gaming laptops anymore.

That’s why we have Origin PC’s EON15-X here. It’s a closer.

What makes it a closer? The desktop-grade Core i7-4790K CPU powering it. Yes, that’s none other than Intel’s Devil’s Canyon CPU. While most mobile gaming quad cores struggle to crack the 3GHz barrier, the Core i7-4790K in the EON150X cruises along at 4GHz and will Turbo up to 4.4GHz.

New iPad Battery Life

The new iPad has the same battery life as the iPad 2. This may strike some as peculiar because the iPad 3 has a new more highly-powered battery. However, although the battery does carry more juice, this is offset by the new features of the iPad 3 which require more power, for example the high-definition Retina display and the 4G connectivity. That said, the new iPad battery life is still perfectly reasonable and is suitable both for casual at-home use [...]
