Windows RT 8.1 Drops Desktop Tile On Start Screen

Ah, Windows RT. I guess the whole idea of rolling out this particular version of Windows does not seem to look so smart any more, considering the number of Surface RT tablets that were left behind in the inventory (which is now simply known as the Surface tablet) because not too many people wanted to pick it up. Well, Microsoft has rolled out the Windows RT 8.1 update recently, only to pull it back because of some issues before re-releasing it to the masses.

Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Headed To Europe

There seems to be a fair share of Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone models out in the market, and depending on which region that you live in, the model number differs. Those who happen to live in South Korea would have been able to take advantage of an LTE-A-equipped Samsung Galaxy S4 that boasts of a speedy Snapdragon 800 CPU underneath the hood, while folks living elsewhere had to settle for an Exynos 5 or Snapdragon 600 processor, which did not seem to be fair at all. More than two months ago, it seems that we heard about the possibility of the Galaxy S4 LTE model headed for Europe, bearing the model number GT-I9506.

Report: HTC on tap to develop three Amazon smartphones in 2014

Rumors of an Amazon phone have been floating around for years, but we're now getting word that Amazon is working with HTC to develop three different smartphones which will be released in 2014. One of the three Amazon smartphones is said to be  in an “advanced stage of development,” which could indicate an early-2014 launch. The Financial Times has not released any information regarding specifications for the three phones, but it stands to reason that Amazon will be working with HTC to deliver Android powered phones at three distinct price points.

Watch out, Romania! Portugal makes sweet off-road fire trucks, too

After seeing the Romanian Ghe-O Rescue, we couldn't think of a more ultimate fire truck, but a reader – and volunteer firefighter – from Portugal aimed to prove us wrong. Meet the Jacinto Veiculo Florestal de Combate a Incêndio (VFCI), which translates to Forest Fire Fighting Vehicle. Jacinto upfits a full range of fire trucks ranging from a Jeep Wrangler up to your typical ladder trucks, but our favorite is the monstrous VFCI.

HTC says their upcoming tablet will be "disruptive"; also working on a smart watch

To say HTC hasn't had the best of luck in the tablet sector would be quite the understatement. In fact, you might say that the tablet market has been a bit unattractive for anyone not named “Samsung” or “Apple.” LG's jumped back in with the 8.3-inch G Tab, and now another OEM who once tried their hand (and failed) at the tablet market is getting ready to give it another go. HTC' executive Cher Wang mentioned as much in an interview conducted by the Financial Times.

Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Set Including New Super Mario Bros. U, Luigi U Starting Nov. 1

Nintendo has been attempting to make its Wii U an appealing video game console to purchase this year as just a few months ago, they announced they would be cutting the price of the Wii U Deluxe set from $349.99 to a more acceptable $299.99. A $50 drop in price doesn't seem to have improved much in terms of the Wii U's sales, so Nintendo is now changing things around with what games are bundled in with the Wii U in order to make it a more valuable purchase. The Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Set will now feature New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U.
