It looks like Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 is coming back from the dead
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 17 views
A few weeks ago, Samsung finally explained what caused the Galaxy Note 7 fires and explosions that killed the highly praised phablet soon after it started selling in stores. But the company never said what it planned to do with the huge pile of brand new and briefly used Galaxy Note 7 units that it collected from all over the world when it recalled the failed phone. Unconfirmed reports said that Korean giant might consider reselling a refurbished Galaxy Note 7 after it fixes whatever caused the batteries to catch fire. Now, a fresh rumor out of Asia claims the same thing, potentially revealing more details about Samsung's intentions. Continue reading... Trending rig…

by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

Windows 10 might be Microsoft’s best Windows release yet, but it’s also the most privacy-infringing one, considering the amount of data it collects about the user. Microsoft has been looking to fix the problem, and the company already promised that the upcoming Windows 10 update will feature an improved privacy settings menu, that will give users more control over the way their data is shared with Microsoft. However, the European Union still isn’t happy. Continue reading...

Okay, so maybe the 21st century under-delivered on the whole flying car thing, but it appears we're a lot closer to another form of personal flight than you probably thought.

Hoversurf just released a trailer for its first fully manned hoverbike, built on a heavy duty drone platform called the Scorpion 3, and it's just as cool as it sounds. Continue reading...

I’ve got to admit it, Android Oreo certainly sounds delicious. Even better than Android KitKat, which was Google’s only partnership with a company that makes the kind of desserts that could be associated with a major Android release. Android O will certainly follow Android Nougat later this year. But if you think that Oreo sounds just too good to be true, you may be right. Continue reading...

I'll be the first to admit that sometimes I don't "get" art, so perhaps the true meaning of Brooklyn, New York's, latest artistic attraction is lost on me, but it sure does look like a watery passage to the netherworld. Artist Anish Kapoor is planning to bring a never-ending 26-foot wide black water whirlpool which he calls "Descension" to the bustling borough soon, and it'll be quite the sight to behold.

John Oliver perfectly explains to Donald Trump why Putin is bad news

Russia is currently one of Donald Trump’s worst problems, one that the President keeps dismissing as “fake news.” After Michael Flynn’s resignation last week, news broke that high-ranking members of the Trump campaign were in constant contact with former Russian intelligence agents during the campaign. The nature of those talks is unknown to the public, but the intelligence community was disturbed by their great frequency. Yet Trump failed to address his Russia-related criticism, and continue to say that an improved USA-Russia relationship won’t be so bad. That’s pretty much all you need to take with you into the following segment on Last Week Tonight, where John Olive…
