First Siri, Now Threat Detection: Inside SRI’s Amazing R&D

SRI is most famous for inventing Siri, Apple's virtual digital assistant technology. But step inside SRI's sprawling 65-acre campus, and you'll quickly discover this R&D powerhouse is working on countless other technologies destined to change the world. For example: threat detection of botnets and cancer cells.

Drobo S Storage Array Review

The team at Drobo asked The Gadgeteer to review their Drobo S, generation two, a five bay USB and/or Firewire storage enclosure.  For those unfamiliar with Drobo, the company came on the storage scene in the middle of 2007 with a focus on making storage simple.  I like to think of Drobo as the black-colored [...]

IE9 and Firefox 4 post top marks in Web browser power use comparison

Over on the Internet Explorer Blog, Microsoft has posted results from an extensive comparison of the top five Web browsers. The goal: to determine whether Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 4, Chrome 10, Safari 5, or Opera 11 is able to squeeze the most life out of your laptop's battery.

A baseline was determined with test systems sitting idle, and then browsers were pointed at about:blank, a news site, the HTML5 Galactic demo, and the IE9 fish tank demo. Perhaps unsurprisingly, IE9 came out on top -- though Firefox 4 was a very close second on nearly every test. As you can see, the other browsers didn't necessarily fare quite as well, with Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera all posting significantly worse scores. In Opera 11's case, a laptop battery would last over one hour more with Internet Explorer 9 installed.

But what we'd really like to know is where did Microsoft find the dilithium crystals required to run a Galactic Total Power Consumption test...

The top Android news of 2011

So here we are, in the final hours of 2011. (And to those of you who have crossed the threshold already, happy new year!) It was certainly the busiest 365 days of Android we've seen yet -- and we're willing to bet 2012 gets even crazier.

Here's a look at the top 10 news stories (as in not device reviews) on Android Central for 2011, as ranked by pageviews. Of course, that means older stories have a leg up -- and, interestingly enough, the most-read story of the year was actually from 2010. (And one other from December 2010 snuck in, too.) And the winner was a post by Jared DiPane explaining the best way to move from BlackBerry to Android. We thought about tossing it from the list. But it also makes sense. When you're activating nearly three-quarters of a million Android devices daily, another platform will suffer. And that it's BlackBerry is no real surprise.

We can't thank you all enough for your support in 2011, and we can't wait to get 2012 started with you. From all of us here, thanks, and have a safe one. And now, the top Android news stories of 2011, as ranked by pageviews.

1. Jumping from BlackBerry to Android? Here's what you need to know!
2. A slew of popular apps are now 10 cents in the Android Market
3. Verizon changing its upgrade policy; you'll have 20 months before you can get a new phone
4. Flashable Honeycomb ZIP for the Nook Color now available
5. Will my Phone get Ice Cream Sandwich? Our predictions
6. Verizon's new data plans broken down in complete detail
7. Will my phone get Gingerbread? Our predictions
8. First Nexus Prime photo leak shows buttonless device with 720p display
9. RAM: What it is, how it's used -- and why you shouldn't care
10. How to manually update your T-Mobile Nexus S to Ice Cream Sandwich
