Samsung have taken a lot of flak for their liberal use of plastic for the outer shell of their devices, and for me this has been getting worse with the shiny plastic back on the S4 feeling cheaper and less grippy than my previous S2 with it’s textured back. It seems they’ve finally started to take a little notice, with the recent Galaxy Note 3 and Note 10.1 2014 edition having a synth...[Read More]
Smart IR Remote – Samsung/HTC Review
A few years ago I got sick of juggling all the remotes in my living room and purchased a Harmony Universal Remote.

I don’t know either but I suspect it’s a more easily animated four-limbed version of the Octopus invented by the guys at Butterscotch Shenanigans. The plot line of this game revolves around the King of the Sea wanting to invade the land above, and so you must guide Tack th...[Read More]
