Only weeks after his death, it appears Steve Jobs has won his final battle. A leaked Adobe announcement reveals the company is to stop work on bringing Flash to mobile devices.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is now out. As if you couldn’t tell. Everyone is buying it, and the love and hate appears to be arriving in equal measure.
According to the consumer product testing group, the LG Thrill is one the best smartphones on the market today, because it “has the ability to capture stills and videos in 3D, as well as display them…” Seriously, 3D?
