Samsung announces EK-GC100 Galaxy Camera: Offers Jelly Bean and HSPA+ on a point and shoot

When Samsung announced the Galaxy Note II at IFA three days ago, it was not the only thing they unveiled. Samsung also unveiled their brand new Galaxy Camera. This is a brand new point and shoot camera that runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, has a 4.8 inch 1,280 x 720 HD display, and HSPA+ 3G and "4G" connectivity. Samsung is not the first company to release an Android camera because Nikon has already released their Coolpix S800c, but this looks like a much nicer camera. The Galaxy camera has a very nice spec list with its 4.8 inch 1,280 x 720 touch screen display, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, with the Touch Wiz skin, a 1.4GHZ quad-core processor, a 16 megapixel f/2.8-5.9 23-480mm lens, 21x zoom, a 1/2.33 inch BSI CMOS sensor, a pop-up LED flash, 3G/"4G" HSPA+ connectivity, a micro-SIM slot, a microSD card slot, WiFi connectivity, a 1,650 MAH battery, and it comes in black and white. This camera also has a very nice design with its many curves, comfortable looking hand grip, and its silver-clad buttons.The Galaxy Camera does not have too many camera features that will make it stand out from the crowd, but the fact that it runs Android 4.1 will make it really easy to use and for people to post their pictures to social networks like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. The HSPA+ built into the camera will make it even easier to post your pictures on the go, and it could let you check any of your internet-needy services (email, social neworks, etc.). Since the Galaxy Camera runs Jelly Bean, you also get the Google Play Store to download any Android app you desire.  Overall, this looks like a nice camera that will bring many neat features with its Android interface but it will probably not be for anybody looking for the best camera on the market.

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
