It is official, Miiverse has finally been released to web browsers! It is said to be very close to that provided on the WiiU itself. You will find the bulk of the info at the provided link.”The browser version is almost the same as what you'll find on Wii U, with a few features reserved for the console.”

Miiverse, that perfectly civil, friendly and downright jovial Wii U utopia of a social network, which doubles as a place to discover just how much patience people have for creating incredibly elaborate works of art using two colors and a stylus, is now available in your browser. You're now free to sit in the back of the bus and marvel at all the illustrations of Adventure Time and Midna you want.

The new numbers are in from the IDC showing tablet sales and it looks like Apple might be losing some of its steam thanks to all the cheaper alternatives out there. Apple is still growing, just not as fast as Samsung, ASUS, and Amazon, which are all showing huge growth thanks to their impressive sales figures on smaller tablets. Apple is still the leaders, but that lead is slowing disappearing. CNET has more details.

While Apple is still the world's No. 1 tablet maker, Samsung is No. 2 and growing at a faster rate. Looking specifically at year-over-year growth from first quarter numbers, Apple grew by 65 percent -- not bad. But, Samsung grew by 282 percent, Asus grew by 350 percent, and Amazon grew by 157 percent.

The question is: Is this part and parcel of a bigger problem? Is the rest of the market getting smarter and better -- and also less expensive?

Sony claims this ad is fake, but there sure is a lot of effort put into it.  It's not like the fake Apple ads that are all about satire either.  We'll see come E3 if this is true or not.

Day one of CES 2013 in Las Vegas Nevada was madness and we kicked it off with a busy start! This morning BCCHardware was able to meet up with Steel Series to see what they had to show and what they’re working on for the future of tech and gaming enthusiasts. They had a couple of products to show and talk about at their suite such as the Apex and Apex [Raw] keyboards, as well as two new audio products. Steel Series is typically a gaming company that appeals to the gamers. The Apex and Apex [Raw] are gaming keyboards that can be customized to what you want and or how you want to play your game.

Just like the Sensei Mouse that is customizable in many ways, the keyboards are customizable to what you want.  The Apex can produce 16.7 Million different colors and the Apex [Raw] is simply white. All in all, you can tweak a mere 504 keys (thanks to four layers) that can be re-assigned and mapped. One of the keyboards has five zone lighting and the other has two zones for lighting keys. SteelSeries also talked a bit about two pairs of earphones they are working on. Both are tangle free design and are great sounding headphones that won’t feel cheap to your ears!
