| | Few devices have been as disruptive to modern culture as the cellphone. Forget just talking to people from anywhere, with no wires involved. Today, these amazing devices enable all sorts of good and bad behavior, including Facebook rants, Twitter fights, selfies and Instagram photos of delicious delicacies and drunken text messages to those better deleted from our contacts list. It's nearly impossible — and, frankly, terrifying — to imagine a world without smartphones. Thanks to YouTube, we can take a look back at how mobile phones evolved, through our most sacred medium: commercials.  | | | |

|  | | |  | | | HTC's original One M7 was one of our favorite smartphones of 2013, but the company hasn't rested on its laurels. Packing a larger 5-inch display, more powerful quad-core processor, sleeker all-aluminum chassis and dual rear cameras, the new HTC One M8 is everything we loved about its predecessor and more. Add in its more than 10 hours of battery life on T-Mobile's network--along with $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $26.50 ($636 total)--and you've got a smartphone that is easily one of the best handsets in the world.  | | | |  | | | While some laptop makers are taking it slow when it comes to portable gaming laptops, Maingear is racing like a bat out of hell. The company's latest offering, the Pulse 17 ($2,347 as tested, $2,199 to start) gives gamers the power they've come to expect in a slim chassis, complete with an automotive-class paint job. However, with so much focus on portability, the company made some compromises. Are they merely bumps on the road or a speed trap?  | | | | | | |
