Apple iPhone 5 Review

UPDATED: The iPhone 5 review

Android has attacked the iPhone more viciously than ever this year, resulting in the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3 knocking it from the pinnacle of our smartphone top ten. Apple needed to reply with something special, something game-changing – and here it is.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Apple iPhone 5

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Apple iPhone 5 – fight

The Galaxy S3 has been punching above its weight for a few months now, and now a new challenger has stepped up to the plate in the form of the Galaxy S4. On paper, you'd have to favour the Galaxy S4 over Apple's aging champ. It's bigger, brighter, faster and has a six-pack rippling with new tech. But the iPhone didn't get where it is today by giving up without a fight. Check out the spec-on-spec action below and get ready to see digital fists flying.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Review

Overview

You’d think Samsung’s gameplan for this year would be pretty simple after shifting more than 50 million Galaxy S3s. Make last year’s stonkingly successful phone slightly bigger and slightly better, sell bucketloads, then kick back and blow raspberries at the competition until 2014 rolls around.

At first glance, it looks as though that’s exactly what Samsung has done: the Galaxy S4 looks almost identical to the Galaxy S3 (until you get them up close), leaving more than a few fans of the gorgeous Xperia Z, HTC One and iPhonebuilds bitter, tearful and with one eye on an incoming metal Galaxy Note 3.

$22K sniper rifle that comes with a WiFi server, USB ports, an iPad mini … and aims itself

The new TrackingPoint sniper rifle doesn’t fire when you pull the trigger. Rather, it fires when it knows it will hit the target you’re aiming at. And then streams video to the included iPad mini to allow you to share your hunting or sharpshooting experience with Facebook, YouTube, or maybe even Al Jazeera.

Now, the company says, everyone can be an expert marksman.

ABANDONED LUXURY CARS OF DUBAI

Don’t you hate it when you have too many luxury cars? I mean, how annoying is that?! You’re always like, “Man, I don’t even know where to park all these luxury cars.” Well, it’s actually a problem in Dubai. The city has been faced with the issue of people abandoning their high end sports cars and leaving them to gather dust. After Dubai had a bit of a financial meltdown, car owners riddled with debt just started leaving their rides at the airport and taking off. The cars are still there.

10 WATCHES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A FERRARI!

Let’s be realistic here, the economy is in the crapper and your 401k (retiring benefits) looks about as arousing as you do after a cold shower. What’s a Burgundy drinking, ‘stache rocking, web surfing Internet denizen like you to do? Diversify your skill set by ogling watches you’ll never be able to afford and learning what makes them tick.

Most of these watches are more complicated than college calculus and have more history than you could learn in a lifetime. You might even need an engineering degree and an instructional tome to figure out how they work.  Regardless, all these watches (for one reason or another) are ridiculously cool and absurdly expensive. Sell the Ferrari, liquidate the stocks, and pick up one of these bad-ass timekeeping devices.
