How to switch your Gadgeteer RSS feed reader from Google Reader to Feedly

If you read The Gadgeteer's RSS feed with Google Reader, you are probably already aware that back in March, Google announced that it would be retiring their RSS feed service on July 1, 2013. That's tomorrow for those of you without a calendar In the past 3 months I've tried several different Google Reader replacements and quickly settled on Feedly as it just keeps getting better. I use it on my Macbook Air and on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I think I actually read my feeds quicker with Feedly than I ever did using Google Reader.

Google Working On Video Game Console Of Their Own [Rumor]

The OUYA gaming console is pretty unique in the sense that it is powered by Google's mobile operating system, Android. However according to reports, it seems that Google might be interested in developing a console of their own which will also (unsurprisingly) be based on the Android operating system as well. The specifications, design or even its pricing remains a complete mystery at this point in time, but the reports are suggesting that it could see a fall release which we have to admit is pretty soon, especially since this is the first time we've heard of this.

Porsche 911 GT2 caught testing, is super bad

Look what spy photographers have spotted sprinting around the Nürburgring. Our shooters nabbed a few photos of the all-new Porsche 911 GT2 in its native habitat without any of the bulky camouflage or cladding we're used to seeing. The result is our first truly clear view at the upcoming successor to the GT2 throne. From the looks of it, the new model will boast wider fender arches front and rear, and hefty air intakes set into the machine's hips should help feed a beastly 3.8-liter flat six-cylinder engine.

Pac-Man Imagined As A First-Person Shooter Will Give You Nightmares

Regardless if you're a gamer or not, you're probably familiar with Pac-Man and his adventures as he has aimlessly been making his way through a number of mazes in order to eat all of the pellets that have been scattered throughout a level. We've seen Pac-Man make the jump to 3D in the past, but we haven't seen many Pac-Man first-person shooters. “FPS-Man” was created by game designer Tom Davies and imagines a full game of Pac-Man in a first-person shooter perspective as you'll make your way through each maze attempting to eat all of the pellets.
