Looks like Google is officially going full steam ahead with Google Glass — or, as we say in the hood, hard in the paint. There have already been a few walkthrough videos popping up online and attempting to show off Glass' user interface which, up until recently, has been all but a mystery to most of us. To better give users a better idea of what the future will be like looking through Glass, ‘ol Googs took to the official Project Glass YouTube channel and uploaded their first video dubbed “Glass How-to: Getting Started.”.

Linksys hasn't been having the greatest past couple of months as it was reported Cisco was planning on selling the brand, most likely at a loss, with Belkin offering to pick up the broken pieces shortly thereafter. Since then, Linksys hasn't announced any new products, but today, they unveiled a number of new routers and are the first products to be announced since Belkin purchased Linksys. The new routers Linksys is announcing today are the Smart Wi-Fi Router AC 1200 Advanced Multimedia (model EA6300) and the AC 1600 Video Enthusiast (model EA6400).

iPhone Rumored To Be Arriving On Boost Mobile's Network

iPhone Rumored To Be Arriving On Boost Mobile's Network

One of the drawbacks to prepaid carriers is that their phone offerings usually leave something to be desired. Well the good news is that if you were planning on switching to a prepaid carrier, such as Boost Mobile which is powered by Sprint's network, you might be interested to learn that apparently the carrier could be adding Apple's iPhone to their lineup come Q3. This intel is courtesy of the folks @evleaks who have been pretty accurate in their leaks and speculations in the past, so it could be true for all we know.

Playful otter makes bid for world's cutest hitchhiker

Playful otter makes bid for world's cutest hitchhiker

While the beaver has lately made headlines for attacking people, the otter seen in this video from YouTuber iSparra stays on the playful side as it romps around the inside of a vehicle uninvited. Or rather, it stayed on the playful side since, full disclosure, this video is old – but for some reason it's just floated to the top of the Internet's consciousness right now, having just gone viral. And where else are you going to be able to read the comment, "Grand Theft. otto," right.
The setup: Tourists in the wilds of Borneo returned to their SUV and the otter jumped in when they opened the doors. Then he wouldn't get out.

San Francisco Cops Go Undercover To Prevent iPhone Thefts

San Francisco Cops Go Undercover To Prevent iPhone Thefts

Statistics show that the percentage of iPhone ownership in San Francisco is very, very close to the ratio of 1:2, which clearly places it at the highest rate of any major city in the US. This does not come across as a surprise considering how the city's population has a soft spot towards Apple, and not only that, it would naturally mean that the percentage of iPhone theft in this city would be the highest among all major cities, too.

ZTE Blade C And ZTE Blade III Pro Are Now Available

It seems that the spanking new ZTE Blade C which we first talked about at the end of January this year, touting an European release "soon", is now available for purchase – not in Europe, but rather, in one of Asia's most vibrant financial hubs, that is, Hong Kong, for the equivalent of approximately $165 after conversion.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years (video)

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years (video)

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 review

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 review

Normally, when a company releases two laptops in different sizes (the MacBook Air, anyone?) we review just one: we assume you'll get the gist about the design and trackpad the first time, ya know. So it's funny, then, that we're taking a look at the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 after we've already tested the Yoga 13 and named it one of our favorite Windows 8 convertibles. They look alike, with an inventive hinge allowing you to fold the screen back like a book cover. The keyboards are the same too, though the 11-incher's is understandably a tad more crowded. They even have the same oddly shaped power port.

Auris Bluetooth Receiver Breathes New Life Into Your 30-pink Dock Connector Speakers

Auris Bluetooth Receiver Breathes New Life Into Your 30-pink Dock Connector Speakers

When Apple introduced the Lightning connector, it probably upset many older iPhone users who might have a ton of accessories, such as speaker docks, which relied on the 30-pin dock connector. Sure there is the adapter but it's a clunky solution, not to mention due to the way some speaker docks are designed, the adapter might not fit. In any case if you own a 30-pink speaker dock that you'd like to use again with your new iPhone 5, the Auris Bluetooth receiver might be the answer you've been looking for.

HP Slate 7 Ready To Rock And Roll

HP Slate 7 Ready To Rock And Roll

Late last month, we covered some bit on the HP Slate 7, touting that it has been delayed to June on the quiet, while earlier this month, it was reported that the HP Slate 7 would be made available for pre-order for folks living in Europe. Well, it seems that it was a website error which resulted in the HP Slate 7's launch date to be pushed back to June, as HP has just made it official that their spanking new Android-powered tablet is available for purchase. In fact, HP has already listed the HP Slate 7 in its online shop, where it was accompanied by a $169.99 price tag.
