The gang over at TechSpot loaded up the newly-released StarCraft II on what seems like a hundred different PC setups to determine what the best hardware setup for the insanely popular real-time strategy game is. Here are the results: The good news is that basically any modern graphics card will be able to run the game very smoothly on Medium settings, so even if you’re not someone with a water-cooled monster gaming rig, you’ll be fine. This isn’t the most graphically-intensive game in the world. But if you’re in the market for a new card, want top-notch performance [...]

Oh sure, VoIP on the iPod touch is hardly breaking news these days, but what if you could actually slap on a regular SIM card and make calls on said device? That’s what Yosion’s appropriately named Apple Peel 520 claims to do. Powered by an Infineon baseband chip, this adapter not only offers voice calling and text messaging (presumably requiring a jailbroken iPod touch for the apps; GPRS not possible yet), but it also doubles up as an 800mAh battery and provides 4.5 hours of call time or 120 hours of standby juice. We’re told this cheeky hack’s coming out in China [...]

Sure, we already told you what Hulu Plus looked like on iPhone, iPad and a Samsung TV, and not much has changed since that juncture, but we expect a number of you care quite a bit about how it will operate on PlayStation 3, especially considering you’ll (presently) have to cough up an additional $50 annually for the privilege. The good news is it’s absolutely nothing like the PS3′s disc-based Netflix solution — here, you’re looking at a responsive experience through and through, and the interface is about as simple and full-featured as we’d hoped. After [...]

As iPhone 4 antenna problem is been in the discussion since the iPhone 4 was launched few days earlier and the user who first time pointed out the issue sent an email to Apple’s CEO which stated the question: “What’s going to be done about the signal dropping issue. Is it software or hardware?” and Steve replied: “Non issue. Just avoid holding it in that way.” But now another reader on Gizmodo sent question to Apple’s CEO as some of the lines are following: “Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that this is the most amazing phone I’ve ever owned.

We picked our jaws off the floor when we heard about tiny particles being teleported just a foot or two away, but now scientists have topped that by 10 miles. This tech won’t be transporting Kirk and his Away Team to the surface of some distant planet anytime soon, but it has seriously practical applications to communications. Quantum physics says photons can, in some ways, occupy two places at once. When one photon gets entangled with another, whatever happens to one of those particles also happens to another, even if it’s TEN frickin’ miles away! Now THAT’s a fast connection. The [...]
