by Guest Justin Herrick- 0 replies

Now you can get Google’s little 4K- and HDR-ready streaming device for just $59. The Chromecast Ultra was introduced near the end of 2016. Prior to its arrival, Google relied on the Chromecast (2015) for all of your home entertainment needs. That Chromecast was, and still is, a perfectly fine device. But the company needed […] Come comment on this article: [Deal] Take $10 off the Chromecast Ultra, get it for $59 Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Studio behind ‘Skyrim’ might be making a ‘Game of Thrones’ game
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 20 views
If there's any modern television series that deserves a proper open-world RPG video game adaptation, it's Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin has spent the past two decades fleshing out the fictional world that he established in A Game of Thrones, and thanks to the HBO series, we've had a chance to see what that world would look like when translated to the screen. The inevitable next step would be to give us a chance to freely explore that world on our own in a massive video game. Continue reading...

Sonos is finally making a smart speaker to beat the Amazon Echo
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 46 views
Ever since Amazon launched the first Echo, people have been looking at Sonos -- the biggest name in smart home speakers -- and assuming that a competitor is coming. Well, the wait seems to finally be over. An FCC filing has been unveiled that shows a "S13" Sonos product with "integrated voice control functionality," according to Dave Zatz. The filing follows previous indications that Sonos is working on smart speaker functionality, including a public statement from its CEO that he wants his products to work with "all the services that matter."

The AirPods rivals everyone is going crazy over are on sale for $21.19, an all-time low
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 48 views
We've covered a lot of truly wireless earbuds here on BGR, which makes sense since they've exploded in popularity now that Apple has a pair. Of course, Apple's cord-free AirPods are still very difficult to find in stores or even online, and they're also pretty pricey at $159. The most popular alternatives we've covered are the Smartomi Q5 True Wireless Earbuds, which offer impressive sound quality and a good design for a fraction of what Apple charges. They typically sell for $40, and our readers snag hundreds of pairs each time we cover sales that drop them to $30. Right now, while supplies last, the promo code 3TOJDKAW will get you a pair for just $21.19. That's an all-…

Drones provide a depressing look at Hurricane Harvey’s devastation
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

Hurricane Harvey struck Texas this past weekend, making landfall early Saturday and leaving a path of utter devastation in its wake. For those of us unable to witness the storm's impact firsthand, it can be difficult to fully understand how widespread and overwhelming the disaster truly is. Thanks to modern drone technology, hobbyist pilots have been able to document the aftermath in a way that simply wasn't possible a decade ago, and it makes the destruction feel all the more real.

Amazon’s one-day sale on top-rated foam mattresses comes with a 120-day trial
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 29 views
If you've been toying with the idea of jumping from a conventional mattress to foam, today is definitely the day to take the leap. Why today? Amazon has one of the best sales we've ever seen going on right now on a series of top-rated foam mattresses. With prices starting at just $373.99 for a twin, it'll be a long time before you find prices like the again on good-quality mattresses. If you're looking for something larger, the sub-$600 price for a king mattress is about half the already discounted direct-to-consumer prices you'll find at leading foam mattress companies. Oh and did we mention there's a 120-day trial? That's the longest trial in the industry — if you do…

This hidden spy camera is so covert, it should be illegal

Disclaimer: please check the laws in your state before purchasing this device, and please don’t use it in any gross or creepy ways. With that out of the way, we can go ahead and tell you that there’s no chance anyone will realize the Verkb Hidden Spy Camera is indeed a camera. It looks just like a wall adapter for a phone charger. In fact it IS a wall adapter for a phone charger, and it’ll really charge your smartphone. But it’ll also record up to 4 hours of 1080p video covertly and store it internally for playback whenever you want. Here are some key details from the product page: MINI CAMERA—Verkb spy camera lens is less than 0.059in, which is difficult to percei…

T-Mobile’s plan is working: Customers actually like the network
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 30 views
T-Mobile has made a big deal these past few years of being the "Un-Carrier." Led by outspoken CEO John Legere, it simplified plans, removed extra taxes and overage fees, and shifted away from the old buy-a-subsidized-device-on-two-year-contract plan. Underlying all of the efforts was the need to change how customers perceive their carriers. Telecoms companies, including wireless, are generally hated by customers, and T-Mobile figured that if it could change that, a lot of other things would fall into place. Continue reading...

Add a microSD card slot to any iPhone for $15
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

Apple, why do you hate me? Instead of adding a microSD card slot to your iPhones, you force me to spend an extra $200 so that my handset doesn’t run out of memory every time I try to record a new video. I’m glad you’re the most profitable consumer electronics company. I really am. But I worked hard for my money and I’ve already given you enough of it. Next time around, I’m buying an entry-level iPhone and I’ll pick up a Lexar microSD To Lightning Reader along with it. That way I can dump all my photos and videos onto a microSD card anytime I want, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.

Why AR powered smart glasses might be Apple’s next big money maker
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies

Google Glass may have been a resounding flop, but some analysts believe that Apple may be able to succeed where Google did not. As a quick refresher, rumor has it that Apple is interested in developing a pair of smart glasses with a strong focus on augmented reality features. While Apple often tends futuristic products and advanced technologies that never see the light of day, a reputable report from the Financial Times not too long ago indicated that Apple wants to transition its smart glasses initiative “from a science project towards a consumer product.” Continue reading...

A new report from Digitimes quotes sources in the supply chain as saying that Apple is working to secure a massive stockpile of camera lens modules from smaller Chinese suppliers. Either Tim Cook has a thing for having useless inventory on hand, or more likely, it's another sure-fire sign that an iPhone 8 is coming in September. Continue reading...

At WWDC this year, Apple announced that iOS 11 will enable iPhone and iPad users to send cash to friends and family members directly from within the Messages app. As Apple detailed, the feature -- which is called Apple Pay Cash -- leverages Apple's existing Apple Pay frameworks and will allow users to securely send cash from their credit or debit card. Though a number of different person to person mobile payment options already exist, with Venmo being one such example, Apple's own implementation might be easier to use. Continue reading...
