LG Flexes Its Muscles with Beefed Up G Flex 2

Logic dictates that all subsequent devices in a product line should be better than the one that came before it. This is what everyone expects. It’s what consumers demand. It’s also exactly what LG has delivered with the new LG G Flex 2 phablet. This impressive piece of mobile hardware comes just over a year after the South Korean electronics giant dropped the original LG G Flex, its first curved Android smartphone, which didn’t quite set our pulses racing as company execs and designers might have hoped. Pleasingly, this follow-up to the G Flex runs smaller and lighter than its predecessor. It also comes equipped with a number of other features that clearly mark it out as an obvious upgrade over the device that came before it. Here’s a closer look at what this more polished version has to offer.

4 Takeaways from Duke’s OT Win Over UNC

College basketball rivalries don’t get much bigger than Duke versus North Carolina. These two storied programs, which have won a total of nine NCAA tournament titles between them, scripted the latest chapter in this riveting intrastate series on Wednesday night at Duke’s famed Cameron Indoor Stadium. Like so many installments before it, this one also turned out to be a thriller. Spurred on by the typically fanatical support of the “Cameron Crazies”, it was the home team which dug just that little bit deeper to eke out a tight and tense 92-90 victory in the ESPN-televised game. Here’s a rundown of our four biggest takeaways from this classic contest.

Charter Leads Charge on Downloadable Security

Securing systems responsible for the delivery of service has always been a primary concern for telecommunications companies. With the threats posed to these systems rising at an alarming rate, service providers are seeking more efficient and effective ways of combating the often crippling dangers posed by people intent on gaining unauthorized access to their networks. Charter’s efforts in this regard will soon see it testing a cloud-based, downloadable security system for its new set-top boxes. This testing phase is expected to commence within the coming weeks.

Charter Boosts Subscriber Base with All-Digital Overhaul

The content distribution landscape in America is slowly changing. The emergence of over-the-top (OTT) content delivery alternatives has started to pose a challenge to traditional pay-TV providers. Despite these challenges, cable provider Charter still managed to grow its video subscriber base during the fourth quarter of 2014. The approximately 3,000 new TV customers added pushed the company’s total number of video subscribers to almost 4.2 million. This uptick was attributable to a number of important factors. Chief among these was the completion of Charter’s conversion from a partially analog distribution network to an all-digital one. This resulted in the delivery of an improved range of services to even more customers.

New Nintendo 3DS XL Comes Stateside

There was a time when the U.S. release of new goodies – whether consoles or games – from Japanese giant Nintendo was a really, really big deal. If you’re of a certain vintage, you’ll quickly recall that our collective love affair with Nintendo all started with the release of what is still widely acclaimed as the most iconic game in the history of gaming: Super Mario Bros. This title (and its various spinoffs) was the vehicle that drove so many of the company’s handheld consoles – including the Game Boy and the Nintendo DS – into our lives.

Sharpshooters Set to Light Up NBA All-Star Weekend

The likes of four-time NBA MVP LeBron James and the New York Knicks’ own scoring machine Carmelo Anthony will lead the charge for defending champs the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
