It is fun, family-friendly outdoor game, where items (called caches) are hidden and you are challenged to find them. To aid in your hunt, you are given the GPS coordinates of where the cache is located. What makes geocaching a challenge is the types of caches used and how they are hidden. Folks can be very creative and deceptive in how they hide them. The only rule is they cannot be buried. Geocaching has been described as an “electronic treasure hunt.” http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/tech/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/digitaltrends/20120223/tc_digitaltrends/theyearofthequadcorephonebeginswiththetegra3poweredlgoptimus4xhd digitaltrends/20120223/theyearofthequadcorephonebeginswiththetegra3poweredlgoptimus4xhd Digital Trends technology Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:16:33 GMT Digital Trends - If 2011 was the year of mobile phones with big screens and dual-core processors, 2012 will be all about the quad-core processor and despite devices using such a chip failing to appear during CES 2012, they’ll be making a big splash at Mobile World Congress. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/tech/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20120223/wr_nm/us_kt_google nm/20120223/us_kt_google Reuters technology Thu, 23 Feb 2012 03:45:06 GMT Reuters - South Korea's top Internet provider, KT Corp plans to charge data-heavy content providers such as Google's Youtube and Internet-enabled TV service operators to subsidize costly network upgrades, a KT executive said on Thursday. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/tech/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20120223/tc_nm/us_apple_proview nm/20120223/us_apple_proview Reuters technology Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:51:51 GMT Reuters - A Shanghai court has rejected a request in a trademark case to stop Apple selling its iPad tablet computers in the city, averting an embarrassing suspension of iPad sales in its own flagship stores. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/tech/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20120222/tc_nm/us_synopsys nm/20120222/us_synopsys Reuters technology Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:21:00 GMT Reuters - Chip-design software maker Synopsys Inc posted a quarterly profit that beat analysts' estimates, helped by strong demand for its new products, and raised its full-year outlook. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/tech/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20120222/wr_nm/us_ibm_security nm/20120222/us_ibm_security Reuters technology Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:48:47 GMT Reuters - International Business Machines is gearing up to take a chunk of the growing Internet security market by applying its data analytics to help companies and organizations fight cyberattacks.
