The Xbox one is amazing

The good: Microsoft's Xbox One integrates live TV in an innovative fashion and can control your cable or satellite cable box, TV, and receiver. Most games present noticeably improved graphics over those on the Xbox 360. The One has a slightly better roster of exclusive launch games compared with the PS4's.

The bad: The live TV integration is fraught with frustrations: Kinect voice commands don't always work, the new dashboard is more confusing than it needs to be, and the system lacks full DVR integration. It costs $100 more than the PS4, and the additional Xbox Live Gold membership fee is required to use nearly every cool feature. The lineup of launch games lacks a Halo-caliber must-have title.

The bottom line: The Xbox One goes beyond gaming with its ambitious live TV integration, but at launch it can't deliver a knockout blow to the PS4 due to a higher price and uneven voice control. We suggest you wait for improvements, but for now, the Xbox One is better suited to forgiving early adopters.

Falcon Northwest FragBox

he hand-assembled Falcon Northwest FragBox is highly customizable and aims for superior performance while keeping its physical footprint small.

Many years ago, I was one of those guys who would build my own gaming-oriented desktops from the chassis up (my first had a 3dfx Voodoo2 graphics card). But in recent times, I've been fairly satisfied by off-the-shelf gaming laptops, even with the compromises inherent in those systems.
With the component calendar page for both CPUs and GPUs flipping at about the same time, the introduction of new parts from Intel and Nvidia seems like an opportune moment to take another look at a dedicated gaming machine, in this case the FragBox from Falcon Northwest.
This is a small-chassis desktop, which means it's about the size of a bread box (to use a particularly dated reference). Full-tower desktops, gaming and otherwise, still exist, but I can't imagine carving out the space for one of those. This smaller size feels like the most appropriate compromise between power and semiportability.

Dell XPS 27 review

The updated Dell XPS 27 is highlighted by excellent performance and features, plus a higher-than-1080p touch screen, Nvidia graphics, and Intel's latest fourth-gen CPUs. An HDMI input lets it double as a display for a game console or cable box.

 

Sony Xperia Z1 review

As the first month of 2014 comes to a close and we no longer have an excuse for writing 2013 on our checks, CNET's editors were still busy reviewing all kinds of gear, from a killer app for note taking to a smartwatch actually worth wearing. And on top of that, we saw what one editor said is the "best small Android phone around." Don't worry, you won't have to wait long to find out which one it is.

You want earn 10 $ ? Put ads on your lock screen

The new Slidejoy app turns your Android phone's lock screen into a billboard, and some of the money that advertisers like Macy's and Adidas pay to place the ads ends up in your pocket.

f you're not annoyed by seeing an ad for J. Crew, Adidas, Target, or Best Buy when you wake up your smartphone, a new app called Slidejoy could lop some money off your monthly phone bill.
The app, which is set to launch Monday, shows an ad from these and some other advertisers on an Android phone's lock screen, said Robert Seo, chief executive of the company. The app adapts to a person's preferences, locations, behaviors, and usage times to "curate a more profitable and relevant user experience," he said, and promises that the ads will be "beautiful."
In return, the company will pay you.
"We have no substantial data yet, so it's hard to give an exact amount for payouts," he said. "But we are targeting between $5 to $15 per month initially and as the algorithm learns, this range will increase."
