World’s first computer virus hit the Apple II 35 years ago
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 21 views
35 years ago, the first piece of malware to ever spread out in the wild came into existence. Dubbed "Elk Cloner" and created by a 15-year old programmer named Rich Skrenta, Elk Cloner was a boot sector virus that targeted the Apple II and spread via floppy disk. Fueled by curiosity as opposed to malice, Skrenta designed Elk Cloner as a fun little prank and a way to immerse himself in the oh so fun world of assembly language. Continue reading...

Samsung on Monday unveiled what’s probably going to be one of the Galaxy S8’s most important new features, the Bixby assistant. After months of speculation, and after confirming the existence of Bixby on its website, Samsung decided to tell us what Bixby is and what it can do. The company also confirmed that Bixby is indeed debuting on the Galaxy S8, although we might see it in a more limited capacity at first. Continue reading...

Of all the rumored additions Apple is said to be bringing to the iPhone 8, few are as intriguing as augmented reality. Apple CEO Tim Cook has called AR a "core technology" in interviews, prompting many analysts and journalists to speculate on how Apple might utilize AR functionality in its devices. On Monday, Bloomberg added fuel to that fire with a huge, comprehensive report on Apple's plans for AR. Continue reading...

With less than 10 days to go before Samsung officially takes the wraps off its new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ flagship smartphones, the dam is officially broken. A steady trickle of leaks and rumors over the past few weeks turned into a massive flood, with more than 15 — that's right, fifteen — big leaks that come from at least a dozen different sources. As exciting as Samsung's next-generation flagship Android phones are, we know you don't have time to dig around the web and find all of those leaks, so we did all of the heavy lifting for you.

Watch the first trailer for The Walking Dead season 7, episode 15
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

We’re nearly there, Walking Dead fans... season 7 is almost over. Only two episodes remain of this year’s season, which definitely hasn’t always delivered what we expected. The second half of season 7 was much better than the first eight episodes, and I can’t help but wonder how AMC plans to end this Negan conflict. The trailer and preview video for episode 15 are finally available, but you should avoid them at all costs if you don’t want any spoilers. Continue reading...

$9 is all it takes to listen to music and charge your iPhone 7 at the same time
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 29 views
Apple's new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are the fastest and most powerful smartphones in the world. Despite the fact that they reuse the same design for the third consecutive year, they're also among the most sleek and stylish smartphones out there right now. Nothing is perfect though, and there are definitely some things about Apple's latest iPhones that people don't like. At the top of everyone's list, it would seem, is the lack of a standard headphone jack that prevents people from listening to music through wired headphones and charging the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus at the same time. Don't worry though, because the ATOOL Lightning to 3.5mm and Charger Adapter solves th…

Someone ported ‘Pokemon Yellow’ to the Apple Watch

Because the emulation community won't rest until the original Pokemon games have been ported to every electronic device on the planet, Pokemon Yellow is now playable on the Apple Watch. On Friday, iOS software developer Gabriel O’Flaherty-Chan released a Game Boy Color emulator for Apple's wearable device. O’Flaherty-Chan was initially underwhelmed with the amount of content available for the Apple Watch, so after making his own 3D game a few months ago, he began work on an emulator.

Scientist says there are over 100 planets in our solar system

Most of us grew up learning that there are nine planets in our solar system. Back in 2006 that all changed, when Pluto was demoted from being labeled a proper planet to its new classification as a dwarf planet, leaving just eight true planets in our celestial neighborhood. Now, a group of scientists says Pluto should definitely be added back to the planet list — oh, and that there are over 100 other objects in our solar system that should also be called planets.

First released in mid-December, Nintendo’s Super Mario Run became an instant hit on the iPhone and iPad as millions flocked to download the first Mario game for iOS devices. Nintendo explained soon after it launched the game why Android fans had to wait to play the Mario-based endless runner, revealing that it all has to do with preventing piracy. Not long after that, Nintendo said that Super Mario Run would be available on the Google Play Store at some point in March and now we finally have an official release date for Android fans.

This crystal clear, scratch-resistant iPhone 7/7 Plus case is just $8 on Amazon

iPhone cases can get pretty pricey these days, but do high quality and high prices always go hand in hand? Not if you’re talking about the ATGOIN TPU Hybrid Shock Absorbing Clear Case for Apple’s iPhone 7 and the ATGOIN TPU Hybrid Shock Absorbing Clear Case for Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus. At just $7.99 a piece on Amazon, it seems like a safe assumption that these crystal clear cases are low quality. But believe us when we tell you, that’s not the case at all.

In 2016, few mobile tech stories garnered more attention than the Galaxy Note 7's exploding batteries. As you likely remember, Samsung ended up having to recall the Note 7 last year after reports began to spread of the phablet bursting into flames. Samsung knows that this catastrophe is still fresh on many consumers' minds, but based on one recent survey, the company might not have much to worry about. Continue reading...

You might not sense it immediately, but Google just made the internet faster. And you won’t have to upgrade computers or internet subscriptions to take advantage of it. What the company did was to develop a new encoder for JPEG files that makes images 35% smaller than they used to be. The smaller the images, of which the web is filled with, the faster websites will load on your machine. Continue reading...

Nintendo Switch games load fastest from internal storage
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 33 views
Unlike the PS4, Xbox One and even the Wii U, the Switch uses cartridges instead of discs. This came as something of a surprise when it was revealed, but as we learned more about the console itself, it started to make more sense. After all, the Switch is a portable console as much as it is a home console, and no one wants to walk around with a binder full of Blu-rays when they take their Switch with them on a trip. In theory, along with being more portable-friendly, the cartridges would also decrease load times for games, but as Digital Foundry discovered this week, digital Switch games actually appear to be faster.

Somehow, ‘Game of Thrones’ is making the dragons even scarier

If Game of Thrones were a video game, I'm pretty sure that playing as the fire-breathing dragon characters would be considered poor form. I've yet to hear a character suggest that the dragons are kinda underpowered and maybe could do with being a bit bigger. Then again, HBO probably doesn't care what I think. Continue reading...
