Watch 104 individual satellites achieve orbit and shatter a world record
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 18 views
Earlier this week we told you about India's mission to deploy an absurd number of satellites from a single launch vehicle. Thankfully, the mission went off without a hitch, and the record-breaking payload was successfully placed in orbit by the Indian Space Research Organization, ISRO. But the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle that carried over 100 of the devices into space wasn't just carrying expensive gadgets, it was also equipped with a camera to document the deployment, and ISRO just published that video for us all to enjoy.

Apple CFO pours cold water on Trump’s grand iPhone plans
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 18 views
Apple and its sad, low-energy, economically sensible overseas manufacturing have been a target of Trump since day one. Trump seems keen on bullying Tim Cook to open a factory in the USA without actually detailing specifics, and while Apple has stayed out of the fray so far, new comments from Apple CFO Luca Maestri indicate that Apple won't be shutting up shop in China any time soon.

It’s not too late to get the GoPro HERO5 Black at its lowest price ever
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 20 views
If you're looking for a top of the line action camera, everyone knows that there's only one brand worth considering. GoPro has tons of competition these days, but no other company has managed to match the company's quality, form factor and feature set in one single device. And the GoPro HERO5 Black is the single best action camera GoPro has ever created, and right now you can buy it on Amazon for its lowest price ever. You'll still have to shell out the same $399 you'd have to pay on GoPro's website, but Amazon will toss in a $60 Amazon gift card, which effectively drops the price to just $339. Definitely take advantage of this killer deal while you can. Here are some …

Disney keeps information close to the chest when it comes to Star Wars movies, but every once in a while, an interesting tidbit makes its way out into the world. That appears to be the case with a new report from Making Star Wars, in which Editor-in-Chief Jason Ward claims that sources have described to him a new planet that will appear in Star Wars: The Last Jedi that might serve as the home base for the First Order.

If you're in the market for a wall clock — and, really, who doesn't need another clock or three — your choices are pretty much limitless. Timepieces come in all shapes and sizes, and very rarely will one make you actually raise an eyebrow. The Story clock by Flyte is one of the few that might catch your eye, and not because it's flashy, but exactly the opposite. Continue reading...

Samsung probably shouldn’t be boasting about how well it tests its phones just yet
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 21 views
Samsung disappointed fans with the fire-prone Galaxy Note 7, but the company did recall and terminate the product rather swiftly. It also conducted an extensive investigation and announced its conclusions while simultaneously vowing not to let it happen again. While Samsung does deserve some points for that, it’s probably too early for the company to pat itself on the back for the good job it’s doing at testing smartphones and making sure they work as intended, rather than exploding when you least expect it.

HTC’s next virtual reality headset will be more than an extension of your phone

One of the companies who hasn’t immersed itself in mobile-based virtual reality is HTC.

Two major changes were made to T-Mobile One earlier this week. Following Verizon’s unlimited plan returning after a five-year hiatus, T-Mobile decided to tweak its only offering to match the competition. Both were offering unlimited data, but originally T-Mobile was lowering video streaming quality while Verizon wasn’t doing anything.

On a highway in Munich, Germany, a Tesla owner recently sacrificed his car to rescue another driver having a stroke. According to Muenchner Merkur, the Tesla driver saw a VW Passat swerving erratically, hitting the guardrail several times. On closer inspection, he noticed that the driver appeared to be unconcious. So, the Tesla driver maouvered his car in front and slowed down gradually, forcing a gentle collision and bringing both cars to a halt. Continue reading...

How Apple’s arrogance impacts its ability to acquire new companies
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 19 views
A new report from Bloomberg sheds some interesting light on the hazy underpinnings of Apple's acquisition strategy. Famously, Apple's tends to shy away from large corporate acquisitions, with the company's $3 billion purchase of Beats a few years ago standing as a lone exception. That notwithstanding, the report relays that Apple's own arrogance and "take it or leave it" attitude might be precluding it from successfully inking similar large-scale acquisitions.

Astronomers just found a piping hot ‘Super Earth’
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

It wasn't that long ago that finding exoplanets — that is, worlds that exist outside of our own solar system — was a rare occurrence. Those days are gone, however, and we now know that there are actually plenty of stars that host one or more planets. With that increased awareness, researchers have been making huge leaps in exoplanet discovery, and a group of astronomers from around the world just announced that they've detected not one, not two, but 60 new planets orbiting nearby stars. One of those planets is of particular interest, as it's a lot like Earth, only hotter. Continue reading... Trending right now: The biggest caveats in Verizon’s new ‘unlimited’ pl…

How to make Siri talk to you like you’re LEGO Batman
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies

With the world falling apart all around us, it's important to occasionally distract yourself from the chaos with lighthearted entertainment. That's what millions of Americans have already done with The LEGO Batman Movie, as evidenced by its massive success at the box office over the weekend, topping the likes of Fifty Shades Darker, John Wick: Chapter Two and M. Night Shyamalan's Split. While the success of The LEGO Batman Movie is unsurprising (The LEGO Movie was a huge hit too), what is surprising is that Apple and Warner Bros. have teamed up to bring a LEGO Batman easter egg to Siri.

Pioneer’s new headphones solve the iPhone 7’s dumbest problem
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

The iPhone 7 is an awesome smartphone, provided you aren't a fan of listening to music and charging the phone at the same time. Thanks to it only having the one Lightning port, charging and listening are two activities that don't go together. Apple's solution is a shrug and a pair of $200 wireless headphones, or some kind of god-awful dongle. So, Pioneer made a pair of headphones that build the dongle right in. Continue reading...
