The new Nintendo Switch is by far the hottest thing in gaming right now. Nintendo's next-generation console was released just last week and it is literally flying off of store shelves. Online shops can't keep the Switch in stock and neither can brick and mortar stores, and we can expect the new Nintendo Switch to be in short supply for quite some time. If you've already managed to get your hands on a new Switch though, we have some good news for you: Nintendo's Joy-Con controllers are back in stock right now on Amazon in both gray and neon blue/neon red, and the Charging Grip is back in stock as well.

Apple fans still have six long, painful months to wait before Apple finally unveils its exciting new iPhone 8 flagship smartphone alongside the update iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. The sleek new Galaxy S8 Samsung is set to unveil in just a few weeks will make that wait even more painful, because it gives us a taste of things to come from the tenth-anniversary iPhone. Like Samsung, Apple is said so be moving further toward the all-screen smartphone design consumers are eagerly awaiting. The home button will reportedly be removed from the face of the iPhone 8 and a next-generation Touch ID scanner will be embedded beneath the display. The side bezels will narrow as well, ac…

Elon Musk has a crazily ambitious plan to fix Australia’s electricity
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 18 views
For the last few months, South Australia has been hit by rolling blackouts due to electricity spikes from heatwaves. The supply in the nation is heavy on renewables, which means that balancing peak demand (especially when it's not windy!) can be difficult. It's a serious problem that the country is trying to work out how to tackle, and now there's one more option on the table. Elon Musk has said that Tesla can provide enough battery storage to solve the peak power problems, and the batteries can be deployed within 100 days. He's not messing around either, as the batteries come with a unique guarantee. Continue reading... Trending right now: These elastomer iP…

This International Space Station simulator for VR will give you vertigo
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

The obvious promise of virtual reality is its ability to take you places you'd never actually be able to go. The International Space Station is a pretty great candidate for that, so it's fitting that Oculus teamed up with NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency to create a VR game based on an astronaut's life aboard the ISS. The best part, of course, is that the game is absolutely free. Continue reading...

The release of the Google Pixel and Pixel XL this past October represented a significant shift in Google's overall smartphone strategy. Whereas Google in the past was more or less content with letting hardware partners like Samsung and HTC shape the Android user experience, the Google Pixel was a decidedly Google-only affair, with the search giant exerting more control than ever before over the entirety of the Android experience.

From your TV remote and your air conditioner to your refrigerator and your thermostat, everything in your house seems to have a display these days. So why doesn't your light switch have its own display? The Leviton VPT24-1PZ Vizia 24-Hour Programmable Indoor Timer with Astronomical Clock looks all futuristic with its blue backlit screen that displays the time and more, but the display is hardly its coolest feature. This fully programmable switch saves you money with integrated timers that turn on and off automatically on a precise schedule that you set. Best of all, it's just as easy to install as any old dumb light switch, so you'll be up and running in minutes. A few…
