This knock-off Amazon Echo is somehow cheaper than the real thing
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 30 views
Priced at $49.99, the Echo Dot is Amazon’s cheapest Alexa-enabled smart speaker for the phone. But if that sounds too expensive, then you might want to try out Anker’s Eufy Genie, which costs just $34.99. Continue reading...

New renders showcase the iPhone 8 in new ‘copper gold’ option
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 18 views
Apple over the years has steadily expanded the number of color options for the iPhone. Whereas early iPhone models were only available in black and white, the more recent iPhone 7 is available in five different colors: rose gold, gold, silver, jet black, and black. With the upcoming iPhone 8, Apple will reportedly scale back the number of available color options, likely in the interest of streamlining production. According to a recent research note from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 8 will only be available in three colors: black, silver, and a brand new "copper gold." Continue reading...

North Korea threatens the US, Stephen Colbert says we’re all gonna die

This week, following a unanimous vote from the U.N. Security Council to impose strict new sanctions on North Korea, Kim Jong Un and the North Korean military responded by announcing that they are looking into the possibility of targeting US military bases in Guam with ballistic missile strikes. This news arrived hours after Trump declared that North Korea would be "met with fire and fury" were it to continue threatening the United States. Needless to say, it's been a rough week, but Stephen Colbert is doing everything he can to help us get through it without losing our minds. Continue reading...

The Walt Disney Company has been slapped with a lawsuit claiming that more than 40 of its smartphone apps are illegally spying on children. The class-action lawsuit alleges that Disney is violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law, passed in 1998, was designed to protect the privacy of children online.

Apple could finally kill the iPhone ‘S’ name this year
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

Throughout the year, most iPhone 8 reports said that Apple is launching three handsets this year, including the natural successors of last year’s iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and an iPhone flagship that will propose buyers features that were never available on an iPhone. But what if there’s no iPhone 7s series this year? Continue reading...

Elon Musk is predicting ridiculous Model 3 demand in the future
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 26 views
For as popular as Tesla's Model 3 already is, Tesla CEO Elon Musk believes that demand for the company's mass market EV may increase dramatically in the near future. While speaking with investors during a conference call hosted by Goldman Sachs this week, Musk articulated that annual demand for the Model 3 could eventually surpass 700,000 units. As a point of reference, the cumulative number of Model 3 reservations currently checks in at more than 500,000, an impressive figure to say the least, “We anti-sell the Model 3,” Musk said just two months ago. “But our net reservations continue to climb week after week. No advertising, anti-selling, nothing to test drive, stil…

T-Mobile is selling a $125 smartphone with a fingerprint sensor
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 29 views
T-Mobile is getting into the smartphone game. The T-Mobile REVVL is the carrier's first own-brand smartphone in years, and on paper, it's a good deal. The device costs just $125, and for that, you get a 5.5-inch screen, unnamed quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, and even a fingerprint sensor. The specs are nearly identical to every other budget Android phone out there -- and for good reason, as the phone is likely made by ZTE or one of the other Chinses companies that pumps out smartphones for someone else to put their brand on.

August’s insanely popular smart lock is even smarter when it’s discounted on Amazon
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 14 views
We can think of a dozen reasons why the August Smart Lock is one of the most popular products the category has ever seen. It’s ridiculously easy to install, with easy to follow instructions detailing a procedure that should take most people about 10 minutes. The August lock also works with your current deadbolt, so you don’t have to get new keys. Auto-lock ensures that your door locks behind you as you leave, and auto-unlock unlocks your door for you when you get home. You can even give house guests or workers temporary e-keys using the August app so they can access your home for a limited amount of time. All these features and more are a bargain at $230, but you won’t pa…

New iPhone 8 leak points to huge jump in video quality

Apple's HomePod firmware is the gift that keeps on giving. Since Apple inadvertently made the firmware available to the public more than a week ago, developers have combed through mountains of code and have unearthed a number of interesting details regarding Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 8. For as much as Apple does to keep upcoming product details under wraps, it's simultaneously embarrassing and comical that the most significant iPhone 8 leaks haven't come from murky sources within the supply chain, but from Apple itself.

T-Mobile isn’t messing around with making its network better
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 18 views
T-Mobile, for all its cheeky promotions and positive speed tests, still has a coverage problem. Compared to AT&T and Verizon, T-Mobile's network mostly runs on higher-band spectrum that's bad at penertrating buildings or giving coverage over rural areas. To address the issue, T-Mobile spent $8 billion on new low-band spectrum earlier this year. The new 600MHz frequnecy that it bought is being freed up by moving analog TV stations onto different channels, a process that the FCC suggested would take about four years. But for T-Mobile, that's three years too long. Continue reading... Trending right now: Google’s Pixel has an awesome storage trick the iPhone …

Why Google can’t compete with what Apple is doing with ARKit
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 15 views
While everyone is understandably excited about the iPhone 8 and its edgeless OLED display, hardware won't be the only compelling new offering from Apple this year. At WWDC this year, Apple introduced ARKit, a new suite of tools and frameworks that allows developers to create absolutely mind boggling augmented reality experiences with relative ease. Ever since Apple rolled out the first beta of iOS 11, developers have been busy putting together a seemingly endless stream of ARKit powered demos, each one more impressive than the last. What makes Apple's AR play all the more compelling and strategic is that users won't need Apple's top of the line iPhone in order to enjoy…

New leaks shows off the iPhone 8 color that will replace Jet Black
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 27 views
Rest in peace, Jet Black. Apple decided to use the same iPhone design for a third consecutive year in 2016, so the company had to find other ways to differentiate the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. After all, if the phones only sported better internals and other iterative upgrades, why would any iPhone 6s or 6s Plus owners upgrade? Apple slapped a nifty new dual-lens camera on the back of the iPhone 7 Plus and doubled the storage capacity of each model, but it also added two new colors to its iPhone lineup. Matte black would replace Space Gray, and a second new "Jet Black" finish would be introduced. Since the 2017 iPhone lineup isn't made of aluminum, Apple obviously …

Apple fans, we have good news and bad news. The bad news is if Apple hasn’t already made a touchscreen laptop by now, there’s a pretty good chance that Apple will never make one. For whatever reason, it’s just not going to happen. But the good news is that you might already have a MacBook laptop that can instantly be transformed into a touchscreen Apple laptop. The AirBar by Neonode is a slender $99 gadget that attaches to your 13-inch MacBook Air just beneath the display. Then it uses a special patented infrared system to give you complete touch controls, allowing you to poke, swipe, scroll, double-tap, pinch to zoom, or do whatever else you want to do to manipulate the …

It's now been three weeks since hundreds of Pokemon Go players gathered together at Grant Park in Chicago to unlock the game's first Legendary Pokemon: Lugia and Articuno. Since that day, players have been on the hunt for Legendary Raid Battles all around the world, where they have to first defeat the Legendary Pokemon in order to even have a chance to catch them to add to their collection. The only catch is that Legendary Pokemon will rotate in and out of the game every week until midway through this month, and as of last night, Moltres has rotated out and Zapdos has taken its place.
