While this is a convenient feature, it also requires more electricity, and, while the extra cost on your electric bill may seem negligible to some, about $20 more per year, you might want to conserve the energy and save a bit of money as well. If every Xbox One owner would do this in the United States, it’s estimated that we could save up to $250 million per year in energy costs....

Yahoo Releases Axis Browser For Iphone And Ipad

Adobe Gives Away Software While It Denies Giving It Away

No, I didn’t mean, ya know, hot. This all legit, legal, and not crippled trial versions. The cost? Zero, nada, and zilch. That’s right! Adobe Systems is giving it away! The catch?
