    Sony’s Spider-Man on PC: A tangled web of impressive updates, launch issues

    In Spider-Man, the web-slinging button is the same as the "run" button, whether you're on the ground or running up the side of a building. Spidey automatically slings webs when he's in the air (i.e. not touching a surface). I assume they assigned the button to shift because every other PC game...

    The Snapdragon 855 is getting an upgrade to the Snapdragon 855+

    That makes the incorrect assumption that phones with this chipset will be "mostly used for making phone calls, texting, photo taking and media consuming." Thought that is probably the majority use case of phones around the world, a large and growing sector use them primarily as mobile computing...

    Gallery: Decked-out gaming rigs and more highlights from PAX East 2019

    Man, I can't wait to try the Red Hydrogen in person if it's as good as you say. I think I heard they have them at some Verizon and AT&T stores?

    Don’t buy a 5G smartphone—at least, not for a while

    This is all true, and makes sense...for phones. You're missing the key element that makes 5G worth it: it's better for almost every other device. From tablets, to laptops, to VR and AR headsets, 5G is going to change the world. It allows TRUE sub-millimeter latency to AND from the 5G node...

    VR rivals come together to develop a single-cable spec for VR headsets

    But that's not true at all. TPCast is transmitting 1200p 90fps with less than one frame of latency and has been selling a product for over a year. They have a model for both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. I've used it and it's effectively flawless, at least on the image transmission and...

    New Nintendo 3DS XL review: Return to the third dimension

    Hey, real quick, you guys made a pretty big error! You mentioned that "3DS games like 'Mario Kart 8' and New Super Mario Bros. 2 look like their Wii counterparts." Mario Kart 8 is a Wii U exclusive, you were thinking of Mario Kart 7!

    Amazon’s latest patent is sillier than the peanut butter sandwich patent

    Is there any way to appeal this? I have proof of using a system IDENTICAL to the one outlined in their patent at my job two summers ago. I thought patents were supposed to be non-obvious? This was so obvious that a business involving auto parts came up with this solution to post and sell auto...

    RadiumOne CEO is fired after domestic violence convictions

    How the hell did this get voted up? This is ABSOLUTELY NOT THE DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR ABUSE. Domestic Violence is defined as the PATTERN of violence against a family member or intimate partner. I'm very, very disappointed at Ars for giving "Editor's Choice" to a comment that's...
