I’ve been working on this website and blog for nearly three years now, and during that time I’ve noticed a weird phenomenon. Every month or two some unreliable source from some big-name website posts a ridiculous article proclaiming the release of some future gadget from Amazon, Apple, or any other big company.

How to Root GlowLight Nook Touch with TinyNoot (Video)
The Nook Touch with GlowLight has been out for a little over two weeks now.

A while back I reviewed the Novo 7 Paladin, a cheap Android tablet from China that sells for around $100 on Amazon. Out of the box it came with Android 4.0.1 and included a watered-down version of the Android Market (not very many apps showed up). As mentioned in the review, I found an official […]
