People have crazy hobbies, ideas, and even ways of becoming famous. A lot of clever YouTubers are a testament to this fact, and while some may choose to blend stuff to catch your attention, RatedRR prefers blowing stuff up, shooting it with high power guns and completely dismantling gadgets in the process. Their latest video shows what they did to a PlayStation 4 console that they managed to get their hands on, and boy, it ain’t pretty!
Whether you love or loathe the Korean electronics outfit's products, it's a fair assessment that the mobile world wouldn't be the same without Samsung. Tenacious and audacious in equal measure, the company seems to know no limits when it comes to experimenting with new technologies and ideas, and now Bloomberg is reporting that Samsung plans to release a smartphone with a wraparound display in 2014.
As soon as Android 4.4 KitKat was formally announced, it was certain that the newer Nexus devices will definitely be getting the new version of the operation system. Nexus 4, the one year old Nexus flagship that is still plenty powerful, obviously made the cut, but it didn’t get an OTA update for the latest Android version as soon as it surfaced on Nexus 5. All we kept hearing was “a few weeks” without any definitive availability date. Well, we guess it’s pretty close now, as Google has posted the factory images for Android 4.4 KitKat for the Nexus 4 on its developer portal.
In May, Google revealed that its “All Access” music app would be hitting iOS, and since the search giant also noted that it was just a few weeks away, we expected to be grooving to some of our favorite songs through the service by summertime. Although it did seem as though the Android maker had completely forgotten about those on Apple's mobile OS, we now know this not to be the case, as the Google Play Music app has just hit the iOS App Store. Full details, as well as that download link, can be seen after the fold.
It's hard to keep track of how many insanely powerful smartphones exist in today's market. Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy range of hardware seem to gain most of the attention, and let's be honest here, it is rather difficult to find a better all-round alternative to those beasts. But what do you do if you're the type of person who doesn't like to follow the pack or jump on popular bandwagons? Do you boycott a mobile device altogether, stick with an old-school feature phone or opt for something totally unique? The Russians over at Yota Devices would like you to opt for the latter and get involved with a device the likes of which we've never seen before.
As both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 reach thousands of homes around the globe with time, there are going to be a ton of questions that need some serious answering from the get go from buyers who haven't made their decision which next-gen console to go for. As reviews of the two gaming giants begin to trickle through and people are beginning to see what can be achieved by this new generation of hardware, there's one question that probably isn't on the lips of many gamers, but we're going to answer it for you anyway!
Yes you read that right. According to MuscleNerd, iOS 7.0.4 is jailbreak safe. Whenever a new version of iOS is released, it's almost as though the slate is wiped clean, and all of the hard work before it is essentially diminished.
Well, the time has finally arrived for Sony and its PlayStation 4. The company certainly has a fair amount riding on its next-gen game machine being a huge success, and one week ahead of Microsoft's Xbox One, the PS4 is launching today in North America.

But will this early showing prompt you to go out and make the purchase? Get involved in our poll below and have your say!
With the PlayStation 4 set to be released within the next 24 hours and the Xbox One hitting the retail market next Friday, the console fanboys are out in full force, offering lopsided, oft baseless reasons why one is better than the other. Never one to hold back when it comes to making a joke of things, the creators of South Park have put together a scene in this week's episode dedicated to the next-gen battle, with heavy reference to the Black Friday sales beginning next week. As can be seen online in YouTube comments, on forums and other such mediums, an innocent debate quickly descends into a fanboy flame war, before ending on a typically offensive note.
