2013 Highlights (and some things you may have missed)

It has been an interesting year for tech. Which is a pretty dumb thing to write, since every year is an interesting year for tech, and more interesting than the year before.

But a year is a lot to take in. So here

Invisible Cities: The Seamless Meeting of Art and Technology Lauren Dragan | Nov 22, 2013 |

Have you ever listened to a pair of headphones and thought that it seems as though the music was being performed right in front of you? Or maybe you’re in a public place, listening to music as you walk, and all the day to day mundanity around you takes on a more profound glow? Or sometimes, if you pay attention, it seems as though events are lining up to the rhythm: someone is walking to the beat, or speaking at just the right moment? Now imagine that all of those things were happening at the same time and you’ll have a small idea of what it was like to attend Invisible Cities, an opera composed for headphones and performed live at a functioning, bustling train station.

Panasonic 4K Tablet Event Geoffrey Morrison | Nov 08, 2013 |

Above the streets of Hollywood, at the top of the swanky W Hotel, Panasonic held a party to show off their upcoming 4K tablet. huge. I guess it’s still technically a tablet with a 20-inch 15:10 screen, but wow. Lauren Dragan and I headed to Hollywood and Vine to check it out (that’s where the hotel is, not just some random location we wandered by).

Battlefield 4 Review Geoffrey Morrison | Nov 01, 2013 |

As I expected, I’ve been playing a lot of Battlefield 4. In some ways, my initial thoughts were correct, this really is a polish of BF3. that polish, it’s actually a better game. A definite improvement over its predecessor. The little tweaks and changes combine to make something greater than the parts marginally improved.

An Open Letter to Headphone Manufacturers Lauren Dragan | Oct 24, 2013 |

Dear Manufacturers of Headphones, for several years now, I’ve gotten a chance to witness great triumph and tragedy in headphone design and functionality. We’ve come such a long way from the giant forever-alone-in-my-room over-ears of the ‘70s or the foam-and-plastic-electro-shock-hazards from the walkman fueled ‘80s. But there is always room for improvement. I know it, my readers sure know it, and they let me know about it. So I wanted you, dear Headphone Companies, to know it too. Here are some features that seem really obvious, but are sorely lacking in the marketplace. If you could see it in your hearts to add them to products that also sound really great, well, we’ll all just throw our money at you. Promise.

RHA MA750i Headphones Lauren Dragan | Oct 17, 2013 |

Let me start by saying, I know headphones. I have reviewed a lot, I own a lot, and my ears have endured a lot. Generally speaking, function comes before form in my recommendations. Do they sound good? Are they comfortable? How much do they cost? answered do I then I allow myself to get excited over how pretty they are. Rarely am I able to reach that glorious final stage. To be frank: most tech that focuses on form ends up lacking in function (I’m looking at you, Beats). But every once in a while, my inner geek gets her day, and today it’s thanks to the British company RHA’s 750i. Now, knowing the substance is there, just look at them. Sigh...Sexy, no?

Battlefield 4 Free Beta Geoffrey Morrison | Oct 11, 2013 |

Battlefield is back, though thanks to an endless supply of add-on packs, it doesn’t feel like it ever left. for free, as part of an open beta. Is it worth checking out? What does the beta say about the new game? Will it be worth buying? so that should probably tell you the answer to at least one of those questions. The rest revealed after the jump.
