Not taking out the trash or cleaning your room is one thing, using a modified stool to operate your computer while laying in bed, is another. We've rounded up seven funny examples of geeks being extremely lazy for your viewing enjoyment. Continue...

Wondering if Samsung's new flagship has hit its sales goal yet? Breathe out -- it did. According to Yonhap, Shin Jong-kyun, head of Samsung's information technology and mobile communication division, told reporters the firm has moved more than 10 mil...

Yesterday, I named half of our Tech Dream Team; today, I name the remaining six and coach. Quick reminder: the basketball players are set by the London roster, so no retired players and some of the best players are injured, so this isn't necessarily the best possible roster.

Canon's EOS M uses a large APS-C sized sensor to deliver shallow depth-of-field for achieving impressive cine-style results and the ability to capture clean, high-quality video, even under very low-light conditions. It's set to be announced on Ju...

There's no doubt about it, USB 3.0 is wicked fast when pitted against its predecessors -- but the ancient bulk-only transport protocol it uses is showing its age. Some newer external drives hope sidestep the old protocol by supporting a new one: UASP...

It is frighteningly easy to dupe the public with statistics, since most journalists and readers aren't trained in all the sophisticated ways pollsters can make subtle changes to research that make a gigantic difference in the outcome. Recently, a near-paranoid picture of the American public made its way around the media cycle, thanks to a "study" by TrustE, a web security company, on privacy. Since we know you want to be intelligent readers, and you can't always depend on journalists to recognize a bad statistic, we thought we'd show you how to spot a misleading study using the report's glaringly bad methodology.

Why is the cloud so hard to make funny? Do a search on YouTube. You will see songs about the cloud based upon Joni Mitchell and Vanilla Ice songs. "Cloud, Cloud Baby." Groan. Thank goodness for The Onion. Finally, the cloud is funny.

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology. The two worlds of Windows 8 -- one: a traditional desktop UI and the other: the touch-optimized Metro UI -- can, at first, seem so different that they contrast like the...

There's something very cool about Google Now, which the company announced at its I/O developer conference a few weeks ago. At the same time, though, Now also has the potential to become Google's creepiest service yet. Here is what it does (assuming you opt in to the service and have a phone or tablet that runs Jelly Bean): Google Now learns from your search behavior and shows you cards with information you regularly search for (think game scores of your favorite teams, flight schedules) or that could be relevant to you because of your current location, including weather, nearby restaurants, schedules for the next bus station, how long it's going to take you to drive home and currency information if it finds you are in a different country. It also uses a whimsical theme to highlight the time of day and where you are. All of this could easily scream "invasion of privacy." After all, this is one of the few Google services that really reveal how much the company really knows about you. The reason why it doesn't quite feel like that yet is because of the limitations of the service. There is so much more Google could do with this service, but it almost feels as if Google deliberately kept some features back for the time being to ensure that users can get used to how it works before adding more features.
