iRobot finishes deal to acquire Evolution Robotics

Both companies make hefty amounts by selling their flagship automatic floor cleaning robots. Mint is the Evolution’s product while Roomba and Scooba […]

Data centres, a solution to a problem or a root of a problem?

Data centres started as a cost-effective way to handle gigantic chunks of information. However, increasing use or, as some circles put it, the overuse of the these centres is costing more than it is saving. The overall cost of handling data centres as centralized data providing sources and the overuse by the public and corporate […]

Samsung PN43E450: Full Review – Part 1

When you think of a Samsung TV, you first think of an LED TV, right? The Korean company invented the misleading terminology, and has built its reputation on LED televisions over the last few years. But what may come as surprise is that the company’s plasma TVs are actually its strongest products, and have been […]

Samsung PN43E450: Full Review – Part 2

The E450 has only 720p resolution, which actually breaks down to 1,024×768 pixels. This pixel count is common for entry-level plasmas, and naturally the TV has an onboard scaler that processes any input up to 1080p to the screen’s native resolution. The TV, like most plasmas these days, features a 600Hz subframe processor, which is […]

Samsung PN43E450: Full Review – Part 3

That said, the somewhat more expensive U50 was the superior TV here, with amazing shadow detail and almost pure blacks. The Samsung is good at producing deep blacks, but it just so happens that the Panasonic is great. Compared with the others, the E550 was largely similar (although the E450 did get slightly deeper in […]

Samsung PN43E450: Full Review – Part 4

In light of excellent performance elsewhere it’s disppointing to see this TV fall down in terms of picture processing. But what does this mean in the real world? If you watch a lot of Blu-ray movies the TVs inability to provide 1080p/24 cadence means that film buffs might notice judder, especially on pans, but on […]

Google planning to shut down Motorola Spain

Google has decided to close the subsidiary of Motorola in Spain until the end of this year after seeing a decreasing hike in Spanish economy and the unfavourable prospects for domestic consumption, which will affect the mobile device market, according to reports. The search engine company, which acquired Motorola last May as part of its […]

Mercedes-Benz GLK350 2013: Full Review – Part 1

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 is the closest thing that we’ve got this generation to a wagon version of the C350 sport sedan with which it shares its platform and 3.5-liter, V-6 engine. “But wait,” you’re probably saying as you look at the photos above, “isn’t that a big SUV?” I can understand your confusion; conventional […]

Mercedes-Benz GLK350 2013: Full Review – Part 2

Torque exits the engine via a single-option seven-speed automatic transmission before heading to the wheels. Just which wheels provide motivational duties depends on which drivetrain option box you checked at the dealership. The standard configuration sends power through the rear wheels, but a $2,000 4Matic all-wheel-drive package splits power between the front and rear wheels. […]

Mercedes-Benz GLK350 2013: Full Review – Part 3

Fuel economy for our 4Matic-equipped model is estimated at 19 city mpg, 24 highway mpg, and 21 mpg combined. Skip the all-wheel drive in favor of a rear-driven model and you can add 1 mpg to the highway estimate. Those efficiency estimates aren’t particularly heinous, but the middle-of-the-pack averages aren’t much to get excited over […]
