The Nokia Lumia 900 Review – Drool Worthy
By now, I’m sure we’ve all read Josh’s wonderful review of the Lumia 900 from The Verge. No one seems to be content with the end result. Does this phone really deserve a mediocre score? Well, we here at FleshEatingZipper respect The Verge’s heavily biased anti-everything-that’s-not-Apple-or-Android opinion. Want a review from someone who is actually going to use this phone for the next 2 years instead of 15 minutes? You’ve come to the right place.

Cyber Bullying – Real Problem Or Dramatic Horse Crap?
Facebook, Myspace, Youtube and other popular social networking sites are being targeted, and frequented by a new type of predator – the “cyber bully”
While I have been aware of the alleged existence of “cyber bullying” since the term was coined, it’s only recently that it has come to my attention that, now, grown adults are seemingly becoming victims of online meany-faces.
Somehow, though, I think the whole thing is a bunch of hog-wash…At least, that’s my opinion.

Titanic 3D Review: Ready to Go Back?
The old lady kept the diamond all along, and she drops into the ocean at the end. Kate Winslet gets naked. A baby faced Leonardo DiCaprio freezes to death. Oh, and the giant ship sinks after hitting an iceberg, killing hundreds of people. Why am I writing this? Because if you’re reading this then it’s highly likely that you’ve already seen the movie. In fact, you’ve probably either already seen the 3D rerelease by now, you’re planning on seeing the 3D rerelease, or you’re a guy and you’re unknowingly about to be dragged by your significant other to see it again.

War Horse Review: Needs a Little More War and a Little Less Horse
War Horse, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Jeremy Irvine, Peter Mullan, Emily Watson, and Tom Hiddleston, arrived on Blu-ray this week. This film will either pull you under Spielberg’s spell leaving you scrambling for the nearest box of Kleenex or it will leave you rolling your eyes.

Joshua Topolsky Doesn’t Understand Windows Phone
Microsoft wants the Lumia 900 to do business. Fifteen months after their initial partnership with Nokia was announced, all the pieces seem to be falling into place. Microsoft, who had an operating system without a hero, and Nokia, who had hero hardware without an operating system, seem to be some perfect match, the latter becoming a sort of ‘premier partner’ for Windows Phone after titans like Samsung, HTC, and LG have completely failed to make an exceptional device for it. Well, it’s time for Microsoft and Nokia to get paid after setting up the dominos for so long with the launch of the new Lumia 900, Nokia’s first major phone in the States in years, Microsoft’s first real ‘flagship’ phone, and AT&T’s largest marketing campaign, as they say, since the early iPhones (back when they were exclusive).
Then Joshua Topolsky stepped in.

Instagram For Android Review: Are We Doomed?
I hate post-processed photos. Hate, hate, hate. With the rise of smartphones have come tools powerful enough to not only take high-resolution pictures, but also reprocess them with crazy filters, color correction and so forth enabling otherwise shoddy photographers some light sense of professionalism and visual taste. No app encapsulates this utility – or pretentiousness – better than Instagram, which until today had been exclusive to iOS devices. Now that it’s on a platform that we actually use around the FEZ office (take that, Kelly!), and available to now millions more users out there with Android phones, we can finally render a real review by actual professionals. So how is it, aside from being hipster bait? Well…

Should You Buy A New Phone Right Now?
Buying new technology is always a risk. Anything you buy’s going to be obsolete in a week or two, anyway. But as we near summer and do that ‘go outside’ thing more often, millions of us are looking to upgrade their phones. Sure, there are new releases, like HTC’s One X, but is this really the best time to do it? Can’t you wait a little bit? I’ll cover the pros and cons.
