Brother HL-L8350CDW Review

Brother's HL-L8350CDW is a compact colour laser aimed at businesses on a budget. It costs less than £300, and supports wired and wireless printing, integral duplexing and handy mobile features, with a promised 30ppm print speed for colour and mono.

It's a decent deal, and running costs are reasonable too. Standard cartridges work out at 2.2p per mono page and 13p for colour; the 6,000-page, super-high-yield versions cut costs to 1.6p and 8.2p.

Minecraft Could Boost Microsoft's Mobile Reach

Microsoft will acquire the maker of the long-running hit game Minecraft for $2.5 billion as the company continues to invest in its Xbox gaming platform and looks to grab attention on mobile phones.

The technology company said it will buy Stockholm-based game maker Mojang in a deal expected to close in late 2014.

Minecraft, which lets users build in and explore a Lego-like virtual multiplayer world, has been downloaded 100 million times on PC alone since its launch in 2009. It is the most popular online game on Xbox, and the top paid app for Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating system in the U.S.

Techland Advances 'Dying Light' Release Date to January 27

Dying Light, an open-world survival adventure video game, will be hitting the shelves, the tweet by Techland not only mentions "January | 27 | 2015" but also shows an in-game image showing the ground painted with the release date.

Dying Light is set in an epidemic-struck urban environment where players search for supplies and craft weapons during the day and use the supplies, skills and weapons to survive zombie attacks during the night.

Notably, the plague-stricken zombies only attack during the night-time, which is the main catch of the game.

Leap Motion Brings Gesture Control Support to Oculus Rift VR Headset

While the Oculus Rift seems to be setting the stage to bring virtual reality to the mainstream, there are still some roadblocks along the way, and one of those is that even relatively powerful laptops struggle to handle the processing load required.

Leap Motion launched its sensor, the Leap, in 2012 - the small sensor is the size of a 3G dongle, and can be placed under your computer's screen. It tracks movements in a small area and can accurately track all your fingers, which means it can be used with a great degree of accuracy to bring gesture driven controls to the PC.
