Scientists say that getting cancer is mostly just bad luck
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 25 views
Without a cure in sight, cancer has become one of society's biggest concerns. The fear of getting it is enough for many people to change their lifestyles in dramatic and meaningful ways, and even though it's increasingly possible to beat the disease, it remains one of the biggest universal health worries. As it turns out, all that anxiety may be for naught, as new research suggests that getting cancer is more about bad luck than lifestyle factors, though it's still possible to lessen your overall chances.

This is the secret to unclogging sinks and drains anywhere in your house
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

Okay, first things first: there is no miracle product that instantly clears any and every clogged drain. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Do you really think you pour some liquid down the drain in your sink and miraculously clear a fist-sized ball of hair in a matter of minutes? Newsflash... there's not. If you have a very bad clog, you need to snake your drain. It's the only way to handle it. To clear normal clogs and gross odors that happen during the course of normal wear and tear though, these is a secret to unclogging drains and keeping things smelling fresh: Sani Sticks.

If you're a fan of iPhone gaming, this has been an exciting week for you. Not only did Bethesda finally release its Hearthstone competitor The Elder Scrolls: Legends on iPad, but Zach Gage (the game designer behind the great SpellTower) launched an addictive new word puzzler called TypeShift on the App Store as well. Even if you don't normally download games on your phone or tablet, I recommend you try both. Continue reading...

No, Microsoft isn’t spying on everything you type in Windows 10
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 19 views
Microsoft’s Windows 10 might've been good enough to make people forget about Windows 8, but it really didn’t impress when it comes to privacy protection. Thankfully, the company has taken various steps since then to ensure that users can guard all the different aspects of their Windows 10 experience and tweak privacy settings as they see fit. Of course, Microsoft can probably do an even better job to make sure nobody accuses it of privacy missteps in the future when it comes to its extensive data collection practices. But the company is probably not spying on everything you type while using your Windows 10 computer with the built-in keylogger. Continue reading... Tr…

There’s officially a whole new kind of cloud
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

How many different kinds of clouds can you name? Zero? Great, that means we're on the same page. Sure you might rattle off some science-sounding words while pointing to a white blob in the sky in a feeble effort to appear intelligent every now and again, but you don't really know what they are, right? That is, unless you're a meteorologist or hobbyist skywatcher, in which case you can probably rattle off quite a few. If that sounds like you, it's time to get studying, because there's a whole new type of cloud to add to your knowledge base. Continue reading...

Every once in a while we come across something on Amazon that's so cool, we have to share it with our readers even though it's not necessarily on sale. Such is the case with the Nu-Flame Irradia Tabletop Fireplace, which is easily the most unique and interesting indoor or outdoor home decor piece we've happened upon in a long it. This nifty little fireplace consists of a stainless steel burner sandwiched between two square sheets of glass, and it burns for hours at a time to set the perfect mood.

10 movies and shows you should watch on Netflix before they expire next week
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 27 views
Over the past few months, we've been helping you decide which movies to watch before they get removed from Netflix, but this month, we're mixing it up a bit. Rather than just put movies on the list, we've included a number of television shows as well. Obviously, you'll be hard-pressed to watch multiple TV series before April 1st, but the shows leaving the streaming service are of a high enough profile that we would be remiss if we didn't highlight the fact that they won't be available next month.

While Nintendo Switch owners are anxious to get their hands on Splatoon 2 this summer and Super Mario Odyssey in the fall, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be the first major release for the Switch outside of the launch window next month. Despite the fact that it's a remastered version of a 3-year-old Wii U game, it's still generating buzz from Nintendo fans, especially those who missed out on it the first time around.

T-Mobile introduces new features to combat phone scammers
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 26 views
Every year, phone scammers come up with new and creative ways to bilk individuals out of their hard-earned money. From calling up folks and pretending to be IRS agents to robocalling every permutation of phone number possible with promises of easy money, the variety of different phone scams seems to increase significantly with each passing year. In an effort to help alleviate the problem, and in an effort to keep pace with top rival AT&T, T-Mobile earlier today announced two new features designed to stop phone scammers in their tracks.

Here are all 137 new emoji that could hit iPhone and Android this summer
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

With hundreds and hundreds of emoji already in existence it's a wonder any of us even bother to use actual words anymore. Apparently there just aren't enough of the quirky little icons to depict every possible emotion, object, and idea, so the emoji big shots at the Unicode Consortium decided we need a bunch more. The group has proposed 137 new icons — some of which are altered or updated versions of existing emoji — which it is planning on adding when the Unicode 10 update launches later this year, and here they are.

Tesla releases new video of a near-final Model 3, but Musk says car is overhyped

Tesla's Model 3 will undoubtedly be an interesting and compelling car, but it's not going to be the world-beater that some Tesla fans might otherwise believe. In an effort to temper such over-sized expectations, Elon Musk this morning published a series of tweets stating that the Model 3 will not introduce features and technologies more advanced than what is currently available on the Model S. In an effort to build some intrigue as well, Musk also released a video showcasing a release candidate of the Model 3 going on its first ever drive. Continue reading...
