Yahoo And AOL Back On Again?

By Digital Trends Staff Published July 24, 2014

Back in March Yahoo was in talks with AOL. The reports were that Yahoo would take over AOL’s advertising business, and in return AOL parent company Time Warner would put money into Yahoo.

Razer fires back against the best ROG keyboard in a big way

Razer has just announced a new enthusiast-grade wireless keyboard for gamers. The new BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% builds upon the regular V4 offering premium features like hot-swappable functionality, a fast polling rate of up to 4,000Hz, and a tiny OLED display.

There’s a striking resemblance to the Asus ROG Azoth, one of the best enthusiast keyboards we tested this year. The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% will be available with the company’s Orange Tactile switches out of the box, while the hot-swappable capability lets you use nearly any mechanical switch with a 3-pin or 5-pin layout.
