We’ve never seen anything like this latest iPhone 8 leak
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 15 views
Apple leaks have become shockingly predictable over the past few years. First, bits and pieces start to trickle out as inside sources chat with people who work for Apple suppliers. Based on the types of components Apple orders from these suppliers, various things can be inferred about next-generation iPhones. Then, once a new iPhone's design is finalized, we start to see CAD drawings leak, and eventually we see full-scale physical mockups like this one make the rounds. Finally, once mass production begins, components from the actual next-gen iPhone leak and the big picture takes shape. The iPhone 8 has followed the typical leak and rumor cycle, and we likely know almos…

Winter finally arrives in the brand new Game of Thrones season 7, episode 6 trailer
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 25 views
Believe it or not, we only have two Game of Thrones episodes left in season 7, but they’re going to be longer than episodes of regular TV shows, including previous installments of the series. We’re looking at 150+ minutes of action and intrigue, and it looks like HBO’s strategy of reducing the number of episodes for this season has paid off. This has likely been one of the best seasons of GoT so far, and it’s likely that episodes 6 and 7 will be just as entertaining. That said, the brand new Game of Thrones trailer is here, and it finally brings us the winter we were promised — be sure to see last week’s episode before you watch the trailer, as this new trailer is pack…

Last week, I said that I expected Game of Thrones to continue topping itself every week until the finale. So far, so good, as last week's climatic conclusion was one of the most exciting one-sided battles I have ever seen on television. Based on the title of this week's episode, it looks like we're going to balance out all the fire of last week's episode with some icy arrivals up north. Good luck, free folk. Continue reading...

Amazon’s magic Alexa wand is better than anything in Harry Potter, and it’s free

Did Harry Potter ever make laundry detergent or dog food magically appear with his wand? No. Was he able to use it to control Spotify or turn his smart lights on and off? Definitely not. The next-generation Amazon Dash Wand can do all that and more. It packs Alexa into a tiny little device that fits in the palm of your hand or in your pocket. Pull it out and press the button to speak to Alexa, or just point it at a barcode on a product in your home and the Wand will reorder it for you. Best of all, the Dash Wand is free for Prime members — you’ll pay $20 when you order it, but you’ll get a $20 credit when you register it. Here are the highlights from the product page: …

Fubo streaming TV review: the best way to watch sports, or anything else
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 29 views
People are cutting the cord at an alarming rate -- alarming if you're the president of a cable company, that is. For everyone else, the fact that you can now pick and choose between a bunch of different streaming TV services, rather than just paying the traditional $60 a month to whichever cable company is in your area, is fantastic. Most of the big names are offering streaming services these days. Playstation Vue, AT&T DirecTV Now, YouTube TV and Hulu Live TV have exploded over the last year, and they're not bad options. But after trying sports-first streaming service Fubo for the last few months, I think it's the only streaming service anyone is going to need. …

Amazon is already web's largest retailer, and having mastered the digital sale and delivery of everything from audio books to baby wipes, it was only a matter of time before the company tackled ready-to-eat meals, too. As reported by Reuters, the ecommerce giant is hard at work on a system that would allow it to provide fully pre-cooked meals to customers without the need for expensive and complicated refrigeration requirements.

The Federal Communications Commission is arguably the federal government's least-loved and geekiest body. 30 seconds of talk about rural broadband deployments and spectrum allocation is enough to send most people running from the room. But don't be fooled: the FCC wields a huge amount of power over one of the nation's most critical pieces of infrastructure, and right now, it's a mess. Continue reading...

Today’s Amazon deal on Dyson’s Ball Animal vacuum is so good, it has to be a mistake

If you want Dyson's latest Ball Animal vacuum, it's going to cost you $400. For those who don't mind dumping that much money into a vacuum, it's well worth the price. But what if we told you that on Saturday, for one day only, you can snag a refurbished version of the original Animal for just $262? No, seriously, Amazon's deal of the day on Saturday slashes the Dyson Ball Animal Complete Upright Vacuum with Bonus Tools refurb to its lowest price ever — the previous low was $349 — and it'll probably never be this low again.

Netflix isn’t giving up on streaming ‘Star Wars’ and Marvel movies
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

Disney a few days ago announced a move that makes perfect sense for the company: it will launch two standalone streaming services, including one that will compete directly with Netflix, and a sports service. The giant studio also said that come 2019, when the movie streaming service should be unveiled, some of its licensing deals with Netflix will expire, especially the ones covering new movies. Joint Disney-Netflix plans like Jessica Jones will not be affected. However, it appears that Netflix isn’t ready to give up on certain Disney movies and it’s still negotiating a deal that would extend beyond 2019 for some franchises. Continue reading...

If you're like most people, you've probably cared for a gold fish at least once in your life. Maybe you won it at a county fair or bought it for a dollar from the pet shop, but regardless of how you came to be responsible for the tiny finned creature, you probably didn't think of it as a marvel of the evolutionary process. A new study led by Catherine Fagernes of the University of Oslo in Norway will change your perspective in a hurry, because that hearty little fish you forgot to feed for days at a time has perfected the art of survival in a way you could never have guessed.

Here’s some of the ways Apple could fix the iPhone 8’s design problem
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 17 views
Based on what we've seen, the iPhone 8 is going to be a good-looking phone, but the top notch that houses the complex camera systems, the sensors, and the speaker is unsightly, to say the least. There’s no beating around the bush on this one. It is, once again, a design compromise that we’ll have to live with for at least a year, if not more — Apple is working on integrating all these front-facing phone features into the display, but that may be a slow process. There are ways for making that notch look better than it currently does, and some designers explored some not too long ago. But after recent iPhone 8-related findings in the HomePod’s firmware, someone came up w…

Did no-one at OnePlus look at this advert before publishing?

OnePlus, the independent manufacturer that makes the popular smartphones of the same name, has a thing for edgy marketing. Rather than splashy ad campaigns, OnePlus tends to rely on viral videos and an incrdibly annoying "invite" system. But this time, it's outdone itself. The premise of the 90-second YouTube short is pretty simple: a chainsaw murderer emerges out of the woods, chasing an injured man. The local teen spots the chase, and rather than being concerned, she starts taking pictures on a Samsung phone. The chainsaw victim gives her a OnePlus 5 because of the better camera, and hilarity ensues. Continue reading... Trending right now: The Galaxy Note 8…

Scientists create world’s first mutant ants with gene editing technology

It may sound like a script for a science fiction movie, but scientists have created the world’s first mutant ants. Two independent research teams have harnessed the gene editing technology CRISPR to genetically alter the ants. In one study, researchers at Rockefeller University modified a gene essential for sensing the pheromones that ants use to communicate. Experts say that the resulting deficiencies in the ants’ social behaviors and their ability to survive in a colony, sheds light on social evolution. Continue reading...

Hubble snaps gorgeous photo of a pint-sized galaxy

Size is entirely relative, so to say that the galaxy named NGC 5949 is "small" is a bit of a joke, especially once you've gotten an eyeful of this truly stunning snapshot taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
