Cell reception sucks, which really sucks since landlines have gone the way of the dinosaur and the masses now depend on cells for their primary means of communication. Most bizarre of all is that cell phones seem to work better when outside. I’m lucky if I can get even 1 bar in my living room, not to mention when I turn a corner in the hall or go into a closet. So of my two options — one being to hijack a cellular tower and move it next door — zBoost Metro seems more doable. Check out our full review after the jump.

Deciding which smart phone to buy is like being asked whether you think your friend’s sister is hot – whatever you say, you’re screwed. No matter how objective you try to be about what it has to offer your emotions will kick in. Your brain (without consulting you) will see some color or price break or another perk that it really, really likes. There is, however, a way to determine what makes a smartphone smart enough to consider as your next phone. It’s called your ‘education’ and this guide will hopefully walk you through the important factors one should think about when buying a new phone. Check it out after the jump!

As we all know, there’s an app for that. Whether it’s discovering new music, finding the best local eateries, or shooting perturbed poultry with a slingshot towards poorly made architecture, apps have become a way of life for many mobile users. But, let’s be honest, what’s a phone gonna do when we’re looking to get our buzz on. Drinking is too important to leave to chance so check out these apps that can help in ways that a booze addled brain can only dream of after the jump.

What began as an online cave for basement-dwellers too afraid to form relationships with people IRL (that’s “in real life, ‘ for those less l33t-versed among you) has morphed into something that we can all appreciate/abuse. As technology has become more accessible, so too has the ins-and-outs of people’s personal lives, and the dating world has never been as straightforward and simple…or has it? Have the new, “easier” ways in which we communicate helped our relationships or have they made us all socially incompetent fish in the big, deep, dark sea? Read our list of pros and cons after the jump!

Believe it or not, cell phones have not always been around. There are those of us who didn’t even touch one until we were like seventeen. Whippersnappers these days don’t know the pain of having to sit at home and wait for a girl to call or having your little sister listen in on your conversations.

Ok guys, so you’re in the club and come across this fine girl who’s checking you out and she has your name written all over her chest.

What would society be like without gadgets? It would be a savage place where video games could only be played on televisions, music could only be listened to on stereos, and phone calls could only placed on corded phones. Thank goodness we don’t live in a world like that.

Believe it or not, AT&T offers more than just the iPhone. In fact, it actually has a pretty large selection for those folks who choose to go against the grain and get something a little different.
