MINECRAFT - First of all, what is it? It's a simple (yet elegant!) Java game. It can be downloaded, ran in the browser, played, edited, modded and plenty of other things! It's great. You can do nearly anything you can imagine in it... And aswell as doing tonnes of stuff, you get barraged with awesome randomly generated worlds and caves. Right, I googled it, but it looks awfu! - True, but that's the beauty o ...

Hey readers! Today we're going to be reviewing an interesting app from World Card Mobile. The basis of the app goes like this - you've been given a business card, but you don't want to type in every detail into the phone (understandably, it takes a while!). Well, this admittedly neat app allows you to quickly take a snap of the card, and store the information on the card directly as a contact in your contac ...

Hey everyone, long time without posts. Sorry! Today many people have been complaining, and dying inside due to a DNS Error on the Facebook website. I first experienced extremely slow loading times on Facebook about 2 and a half hours ago when talking to a fellow gadget core member. What will happen? To be honest, I think this is a good opportunity for people to get outside, breathe some fresh air. Maybe rea ...

Hey everyone! I eventually got my beta working using this amazing guy's tutorial, which was kind of cheating but who cares? Anyway, until I can get my HD monitor and my new graphics card [Radeon HD 5870], I have to play the game on low settings - I am hoping there are a few improvements for performance by the final release. Even with the game running on low setting, the graphics are still pretty amazing for ...

Hey guys, I was meant to be posting about the Final Fantasy OPEN Beta starting today, at 2:00PM (GMT), but unfortunately it's been delayed due to "critical bugs" with are being fixed as wee speak. You can however start downloading the downloader. In 24 hours, mine's got to 48%. -.- Final Fantasy looks like a pretty awesome MMO, and for quite a while was No.1 PC pre-ordered game on Play.com, pretty impressiv ...

According to 'PhysOrg', scientists at the University of Calgary have joined forces with National Research Council Canada to form a type of human/robot chip, by putting human brain cells on a microchip. This means scientists are not limited to monitoring one or two brain cells simultaneously, but they will be able to monitor much larger groups in greater detail due to this 'neurochip'. This kind of invention ...

Hey everyone, another DTU from Gadget Core! To start off: According to a Motorola support forum, the Droid X is no long going to be receiving the Android 2.2 update in August, but early September, so for all the Droid X users we feel sorry for, considering some phones have already received the update. The Nexus One is not completely dead: Google are still offering it to Google developers for $529, however, ...

Yeah, we know, it's hard to believe - especially considering the long wait, but it's here. Finally, the Android 2.2 update we've all been waiting for is being released to many Android phones. I've already upgraded my HTC Desire to 2.2, and it features some nifty (really, did I just use 'nifty'?)... well, features. For those of you that haven't already read about 2.2, it comes with the new JIT compiler (Just ...

Only a few days ago, a F2P (free to play) game was released on Steam called Alien Swarm, a really awesome top-down shooter from a group of developers 'hired' by Valve. The game allegedly stems from the original L4D engine, but traces of that are difficult to see. It is a semi-unique shooter game, and brilliant considering its free price. You join group of up to 4 people, whilst trying to complete objectives ...

Symbian - the OS used on many of Nokia's phones. Recently released are new screenshots of the upcoming Symbian 4 OS, which looks surprisingly better than its older versions. However, it still doesn't quite stand out, yet, like the iPhone and Android OSs, but I am sure they are working on improving it still, especially the UI. What is even more surprising is that they plan to release the OS on to some phones ...

First and foremost, I'd just like to tell everybody that we're bringing some more reviews pretty soon, as soon as we finish being busy and all, but in the meantime, here's another quick daily tech update: As I personally anticipated, Microsoft have already started to discontinue the Kin line, both devices One and Kin Two. You have to feel sorry for the cute little phones, but I knew they just wouldn't be ab ...

Hello everyone! Sorry for the COMPLETE lack of posts over the last 3 days, we've all been very busy with various other things, and still are for the whole of this week. But we'll still try to keep posting. So, as usual, here is another daily (or every-other-daily, in this case) tech update. Microsoft have started developing another 'revolutionary' piece of technology, touchless touch screens, which basicall ...

Welcome to another Daily Tech Update on Gadget Core! A few interesting things have sprung up the last few days, and here's just a few of them - but remember, if anything else important happens today, the post will be updated, or the news will be added to tomorrow's daily tech update. So: Rumours are floating around, suggesting a new release date for Android 2.2 update on the HTC Desire. The rumour has start ...
