The custom skin from Xiaomi "MIUI" was one of my favorites in the beginning of my Android days. The included customization options really had me hooked. It quickly became known as the IOS clone, but over the years it has really developed a sense of uniqueness. The latest version MIUI 7.1 has...

As much as I love stock Android on the Nexus 6P I am a flashaholic at heart. This is one of the biggest reasons I love the Nexus 6P is the ability to easily unlock the bootloader and run custom roms. CyanogenMod 13 is officially available for the 6P. This includes all the standard Marshmallow...

I finally had the chance to see Star Wars The Force Awakens yesterday! I think it goes without saying that this was the best movie I have seen all year! I have heard a lot of non Star Wars fans tell me they weren't going to see this movie because they just aren't into Star Wars, but I think...
