The cleantech conspiracy
Dec 18, 2:00PM

HP's OMEN X is a powerful and mostly satisfying gaming cube
Dec 17, 7:41PM
Maingear and HP collaboration, the OMEN X is a good example of how far a consumer computer manufacturer will go to try and cater to a hard to please niche like PC gamers. Recently the latter has been doing a great job of appealing to different user needs with their Spectre line, from premium ultrabooks, to the VR-ready desktop replacement OMEN 17 laptop that I reviewed earlier this winter.… Read More

Dec 17, 6:30PM
Earlier this week, President-elect Trump met with some of the top leaders of American tech companies.

Dec 17, 12:04AM
Uber won’t stop operating self-driving vehicles in San Francisco, despite an order from the California Department of Motor Vehicles to do just that.
