In 2011, CNET reported the inside story of how Microsoft killed its Courier slate — an innovative dual-screen tablet design that imagined the future of the PC. Now, after months of rumors and patent applications, The Verge claims it’s seen an internal Microsoft document that confirms a new pocketable, dual-screen Microsoft Surface tablet is not only …

PC gamers, crypto miners and other GPU enthusiasts have been waiting over two years for the company’s next big graphics card — which is pretty unusual in this space.

When you call 911, you expect emergency services to pick up the phone. But last year, AT&T dropped some 15,000 emergency calls and failed to notify call centers quickly — and now the company has been fined $5.25 million to settle an FCC investigation into the outages.

But this isn’t a desk like any you’ve ever seen. The CemTrex SmartDesk is a glass-topped Intel Core i7 computer. A computer with three 24-inch …

Microsoft Surface chief Panos Panay said it would be a dongle for “people who love dongles,” and boy howdy was he right. The brick pictured above is NOT an entire docking station. It’s the dongle that Microsoft built to add a single USB-C port — yes just one — to a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet, Surface Book or Surface Laptop for data …

When I say “I work on the internet,” I don’t mean it in an “I have a lot of email” kind of way. I mean my beefy homebuilt computer is constantly running out of memory — because I might have 100 browser tabs open at any given time.  But a month or two ago, Google Chrome gave me an unexpected …

VR still has some major problems to solve — like the pesky cord that often tethers you to a PC.  But Valve, the company that’s working on three full-length VR games (you may also know it from a little thing called Steam), might soon solve the problem of being able to naturally pick up, hold and squeeze objects with your …
