The terrifying robot no one wanted to see at CES 2015

Notably absent from the International CES 2015 were major advancements in robotics. I plucked my way along the aisles of the convention in search of the neatest innovation in robotic technology and was left sad and empty-handed with naught but an autonomous grill cleaner and a therapeutic baby seal.

HTC One M8 unlocked and Dev Edition score Lollipop, up next carrier models

Once HTC got the Android 5.0 ball rolling, it was clearly just a matter of a few short weeks until Lollipop goodies started spreading their tentacles. Of course, optimizing a software package for a Google Play Edition phone and the same device's carrier-locked variants are very different things.

The five stages of CES 2015 withdrawal

"CES this" and "CES that"…Marsha Marsha Marsha! Am I right? I can't believe it's already been a week since I walked the CES 2015 show floor for the last time, and already I'm pretty confident that I've gone through the five stages of CES 2015 withdrawal. "But Hannah, what does that even mean?" I'm glad you asked! Allow me to explain…

Stage 1 – Exhaustion:

You finally caught your flight back home from CES and you feel like you've been in Vegas for a year. Pretty sure there's a scientific study that proves that a week in standard time feels like a month in Vegas time. Okay, that's not true but it feels true. You spend your first day back absolutely useless in bed watching Friends episodes on Netflix and nursing a Nyquil hangover while flashbacks of wearables and booth…

HP has two more tablets in the pipeline, offering Android or Windows 8.1 choice

HP weirdly "forgot" to showcase at CES that 8-inch Windows 8.1-running Pro tablet it spilled the beans on a little while ago, and this chaotic marketing strategy carries on, as a pair of unannounced HP slates just popped up online.

And mind you, part of the "unofficial" information regarding the Pro Tablet 10 and Slate Pro 10 comes straight…

Samsung refuses to admit Tizen bust, rolls out ultra-low-cost Z1 in India

After years and years of struggles, false starts, delays and failed partnerships with carriers all over the world, Samsung just unveiled the first consumer-oriented Tizen smartphone. The Z1 is a humble device, and it's priced accordingly, going out to cash-strapped Indian mobile users for the equivalent of roughly $90.

Is that cheap enough to veer unpretentious buyers around those parts away…

Microsoft lowers Windows Phone pricing bar further for Lumia 435 and 532

The smartphone world affordability champion just outdid himself… again, making the incredibly inexpensive Nokia Lumia 530 feel overpriced.
