by Guest Peter Holden- 0 replies
- 21 views
Working with flagship smartphones every day means that it can be quite a shock when you have to use an entry-level handset. I’ve realized that after reviewing phones such as the Huawei P9 and the Mate 9, I’ve become something of a phone snob, having lost touch with the truly budget-minded smartphones that are on […] Come comment on this article: BLU Life Max review: A budget phone that goes the distance Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Volvo’s brand new XC60 SUV is ridiculously safe
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 25 views
The Volvo brand has always put a huge emphasis on the safety of its vehicles' passengers, so it's no surprise that the company's just-revealed XC60 SUV continues the trend. What is surprising, however, is just how remarkably safe it appears to be. Volvo is so proud of its sturdy design that the company decided to release its own internal crash test videos along with the official press release announcing its production plans and vehicle specs.

BREAKING: Politicians still have no idea what net neutrality is or how it works
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

Net neutrality is a complicated and nuanced topic, full of vitriol and misunderstanding from nearly everyone who touches it.

When we left off at the end of The Force Awakens, Rey had just finished a rather tiring-looking trek to the top of an island to say hi to Luke, who was doing the standard mysterious Jedi thing of staring intensely at the horizon. Well, we finally know how that scene pans out, and it's no earth-shattering reveal of Jedi wisdom. Continue reading...

These $10 wireless earbuds have a cool feature that Apple should’ve used on the AirPods
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 21 views
Apple's new AirPods are wildly popular. So much so, that they're still impossible to find unless you want to pay a premium and get them on Amazon. The fact that they're cord-free, truly wireless earbuds is a big part of the draw for Apple's new in-ear headphones, but it's also a bit of an issue for many users who are afraid that the AirPods are too easy to lose. In fact, accessories like the Spigen TEKA RA100 AirPods Strap are extremely popular because they help ensure AirPods are secure... basically by turning AirPods into any normal wireless earbuds. Here's a different take on this design concept. The AXGIO Mini Pro is a tiny Bluetooth earbuds that sits comfortably i…

How to survive with an iPhone that only has 16GB or 32GB of storage
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 21 views
There are so many great things about iPhones, from the design and build quality to the software and after-sale customer service experience that only Apple provides. Of course, there are also some things about iPhones that aren't so good — as well as a handful of things that are downright awful. They're extremely expensive, for one thing, and the fact that Apple will never offer support for expandable storage is a huge bummer. The combination of those two cons means that plenty of people opt for entry-level iPhones so they don't have to cough up $750 or more but that means having to survive with only 32GB of storage if you have an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, or just 16GB if…

Well-known iPhone hacker says nothing in CIA dump threatens up-to-date iPhones
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

Of all the mobile devices featured in the alleged CIA documentation dump released by Wikileaks earlier this week, the iPhone is mentioned the most. Pages upon pages of research and exploits related to Apple's smartphone are now in the hands of anyone with an internet connection. It might seem like a reason to panic, and plenty of people are already doing just that, but according to one of the most well-respected iPhone hackers on the planet, nothing in the collection of information should pose any threat to an up-to-date iPhone.

Sonos made the news this week when it unveiled the new Sonos PLAYBASE, a sound bar built into a TV stand for the 70% of TVs out there that aren't mounted on a wall. It's a very cool new speaker, but today we're going to focus on an existing Sonos speaker that's tried and true: the Sonos PLAY:3 Mid-Sized Wireless Smart Speaker. This is arguably the best Sonos speaker out there, offering the perfect balance between size and price. And speaking of price, an Amazon sale gives us all a rare opportunity to save on this awesome Sonos speaker. It's unclear how long this deal will last, but if you move quickly you can snag a Sonos PLAY:3 on Amazon for $43 off the normal selling…

How to get free TV for life without an ugly wall-mounted HDTV antenna
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 22 views
HDTV antennas are pretty much the greatest thing that ever happened to cord cutters. Companies are finally beginning to offer streaming TV solutions and services like Netflix and Hulu are great, but all that costs money. Meanwhile, with a simple HDTV antenna, you can get live TV in full 1080p HD from all of the major networks and dozens of other channels... all for free. Why on Earth would anyone pass that up? Well, there is one downside to getting free TV this way: HDTV antenna are generally pretty ugly, and you usually have to mount them on a window or someplace else that's very visible. But guess what — there's another solution out there, and it's a brilliant one. T…

Nintendo Switch sales numbers for its opening weekend look pretty terrific
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 20 views
To call the Nintendo Switch a make or break console for the Japanese gaming giant is a bit of a stretch, but there's no question that Nintendo has a whole lot riding on the success of its new video game console. Last Friday, the company began a long journey toward regaining gamers' trust after the disaster that was the Wii U. After the original Wii became a cultural phenomenon, Nintendo looked to recapture the magic with the console's successor in 2012. Despite tremendous buzz and a big head start on next-generation consoles from the competition, the Wii U fizzled thanks to its gimmicky touchscreen controller and a crippling lack of games. In 2017, Nintendo looks to tu…

As the debate surrounding the prevalence, scope and impact of fake news continues to rage on unabated, the latest tech company being accused of passively enabling misinformation to spread far and wide is Google. In a fascinating post over at The Outline, Adrianne Jeffries explains how the answer boxes provided by Google Search (also known as Featured Snippets) are often dead wrong. Compounding matters is that Google's answer boxes enjoy premium placement above actual search results, thereby affording them more credibility in the process. Continue reading...
