Watch Tetris played on the side of a skyscraper in Philly
Philly Tech Week kicked off this weekend in colossal fashion with a
giant game of Tetris played on the side of the 29-story Cira Centre. It
isn’t the first time that someone has played the iconic Game Boy title
on a building’s façade but doing so on a 100,000-square-foot “screen”...

Google's upcoming Android TV spied in leaked images
Google is planning to take another stab at the living room - that much
we know. This time around, the search giant’s offering - aptly named

Media Players and Video Formats: A Detailed Battery Life Analysis
Video
playback is one common case scenario where efficiency is crucial and
where a lengthy battery life is an infrequently found godsend. But what
you may not realize is that the video player itself, and the format your
videos are encoded in, can also have an impact on battery life
consumption.

These 9 Devices Might Be a Waste of Your Money
Sometimes
it pays to buy slightly older devices in place of tempting deals on
newly released tech. But that approach to buying electronics can only
take you so far. Before you consider buying any of the items on this
list, think long and hard about whether such a device is actually a
redundant waste of your money.

In Win tou Case Review
The
In Win tou is an $800 enclosure inspired by glass architecture and
named after the Chinese word for "transparent". Its tempered glass
panels are finished with a special coating that turns the outside into a
mirror when your PC is off. However, when illuminated from the inside,
the tou's mirror coating becomes transparent.

Xigmatek Nebula Case Review
Enter
the Nebula by Xigmatek, a striking solution that caught our attention
with a neat cube design that offers a 2.2L capacity. It's safe to say
the Nebula is unlike anything we've seen before, and that tends to come
at a premium.

Motorola Moto G Review
The
Moto G is Motorola's biggest and best effort yet in conquering the
entry-level market. It's not a handset meant to break records, but the
4.5-inch 720p display, Snapdragon 400 SoC will please the right crowds.
Plus, at $179 unlocked and off-contract, it certainly fits the
definition of what an affordable smartphone should be.

AMD A10-7850K Dual Graphics Performance
AMD
Kaveri APUs can be paired with two discrete GPUs: the Radeon R7 240 and
R7 250. Both are sub-$100 cards that we wouldn't recommend for gaming,
but when combined with the A10's on-die GPU we could see performance
with bigger implications for value-oriented builders.

Lenovo Miix 2 8 Review
Lenovo
has made a decent, low-cost 8-inch tablet that runs a full copy of
Windows 8.1. The use of aluminum as part of the Miix 2 8's slim design
is great to see, and its overall size feels quite comfortable in the
hand. Unfortunately there's one major aspect Lenovo got wrong: the
touch-screen display.

Broken Age, Act 1 Review
Nostalgia
seeps out of every virtual pore of Double Fine's latest game. The game
exists only because of the generosity of thousands of people who, by and
large, wanted to recapture the charms of their video game playing
youth. So, it's fitting that Broken Age looks like a gorgeously designed
animated movie you can play through.

Nokia Lumia 525 Review
Nokia
has been especially successful with their entry-level range of Windows
Phones, particularly the Lumia 520, which on the back of its dirt-cheap
price, quickly propelled itself to be the best-selling Windows Phone. A
successor was always on the cards, but what Nokia has provided - the
Lumia 525 - is a little unusual.

display, Intel Bay Trail internals and expandable 32 or 64 GB internal
storage.

Thief Benchmarked: Graphics & CPU Performance
Despite
being built with the aging Unreal Engine 3, Thief touts some cutting
edge rendering techniques that have put the game on our radar. Thief's
benchmark appears to do a good job of demonstrating a worst-case
performance scenario, so if your system can average 60fps in the
benchmark you should enjoy perfectly smooth gameplay from start to
finish.

Thief Review
Thief
is the long-awaited fourth entry in the storied Thief series. Its
predecessors are often credited with revolutionizing if not flat-out
inventing a particular genre of immersive stealth game. Unfortunately
the latest release boils down to a city full of closed doors and dead
ends, boxed in and lined with nothing but rough edges.

Screenshot Sharing in a Snap: 7 Free Alternatives to Droplr
Many
of us at TechSpot use Droplr to quickly share screenshots. While this
simple app is great at what it does, since it moved to a
subscription-only model I decided to look for a replacement. It's just
hard to justify paying $4.99 a month when there are quite a few options
out there that work just as well. Here are 7 of them.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti vs. AMD Radeon R7 265
Marking
the introduction of its Maxwell architecture, Nvidia has targeted AMD's
$150 Radeon R7 265 with the new GeForce GTX 750 Ti. The GTX 750 Ti's
GM107 makes Nvidia's 28nm design as efficient as possible by splitting
Kepler's 192-core SMs into four blocks with each block featuring its own
control logic.

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Review
In
the world smartphones there are typically two choices: large-screened
handsets with top-end specs, and smaller devices with mid-range
internals. Sony is bucking the trend with a no-compromise,
ultra-portable handset for those that don't want to carry around
something with a 5-inch display.

Titanfall Review
I
have a lot of favorite moments in Titanfall. It's hard not to when you
can string jumps together to navigate dilapidated buildings, side-run
against suspended walls and hang against ledges and platforms all in one
sequence. Titanfall starts you off as a pilot capable of these
movements. You're outfitted with a jetpack of sorts that lets you jump
and double-jump across each map.

Acer Iconia W4 Tablet Review
We've
seen a flurry of 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablets hit the market over the
past several months. Next up is the Acer Iconia W4, the follow-up to the
company's first Windows 8.1 tablet, featuring an 8.0-inch 1,280 x 800
display and the same quad-core Intel Bay Trail Atom Z3740 that we've
seen from the competition.
