    You can even run Doom on an iPad HDMI adapter.

    The $49 Lightning Digital AV Adapter uses a tiny version of iOS and its own CPU to decode packetized data from Lightning connections, allowing programmers like John (Nyan Satan) to run Doom directly on the Apple hardware.

    Nissan may have slammed the brakes on Honda merger.

    The merger deal that was set to create the third-largest global automaker is now in jeopardy, with dealings between the two companies complicated by their “growing differences” according to Reuters.

    While Nikkei Asia reports that Nissan has suspended the merger talks, an unidentified Honda spokesperson told Reuters that it hadn’t heard anything from Nissan about withdrawing from the agreement and that a final decision is expected to be reached by mid-February.
