Pantech Marauder is official for Verizon, priced at $50 after rebate

Pantech has been a little absent from Verizon's smartphone lineup lately, excluding last year's Breakout, and now they have put another handset into their lineup. Pantech is now releasing the Marauder on Verizon for $50 (after $50 mail-in rebate) with a 2 year contract on August 2nd. The Marauder is a QWERTY keyboard smartphone that is geared towards the first-time smartphone buyer. This new handset has a 1.2GHZ dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a 3.8 inch WVGA display, a 5 megapixel camera, the ability to act as a mobile hotspot, a five-row keyboard, LTE connectivity, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. As the price and specs show, you are not buying a very high-end handset with the Marauder but these specs will definitely satisfy the target demographic. A noteworthy feature of this phone is that it can switch between two different UI's, Starter mode and Standard mode. The Starter mode has a simple UI, and is basically a simplified version of Android for the first-time buyers. The Standard mode is either stock Android or close to stock Android for the people that are used to Android more. Overall, the Marauder looks like a nice addition to Verizon's lineup, and it looks like a great buy for people who are buying their first smartphone.

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib

Qualcomm debuts Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor

Earlier today, Qualcomm unveiled their new Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor on their developer tablet in San Francisco. This processor is the successor to the S4 processor that we see on many of today's flagship mobile devices (ex. HTC One X, American Samsung Galaxy S III's, HTC One S, Motorola Atrix HD, etc.), and is one of the greatest mobile chipsets on the market. Based on the scores we have seen from Engadget , this new processor seems amazingly fast. This new processor blows away the competition and beats every other mobile device you could imagine in every single benchmark category. This processor is like a Bugatti Veyron drag racing against a Smart Car. We can not explain how much faster this device is compared to the devices that are out right now. This new processor leaves every single top mobile product in the dust. The Snapdragon S4 Pro beats the AT&T HTC One X, all of the Samsung Galaxy S III's, the Nexus 7, the international HTC One X, and probably

Hands-On with the new Macbook: Too Hot

Hot damn. Apple just recently added a new laptop to their lineup. No it is not just an iterative spec update, but rather Apple positions this as the laptop of the future. Well, the future of now. They say your next laptop will be like this, and maybe even the one after that. The company wowed the world with the MacBook Air back in 2008, but can they do it again with the new MacBook? Most of you will hear "MacBook" and a few different laptops will pop into your head. There's the current MacBook Pros, MacBook Air, and then the old black and white plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2011. The 2015 MacBook is an entirely new beast. Apple is not pushing the boundaries on what a laptop is supposed to be, but they are pushing the limits in many other areas. The new MacBook comes in three colors: space grey, silver, and gold. The space grey looks exactly like the space grey on the iPhone, and the silver model is identical to the MacBook Air. But if you pick
