If you travel a lot, you know that you can never leave your house without a portable travel router. You also can't go anywhere without a portable battery charger to ensure your smartphone is juiced up at all times. And if you have an iPhone or an Android phone without microSD card support, there's no way you can head out without an external storage device to ensure your phone doesn't run out of storage. It's time to kill three birds with one stone — check out the RAVPower FileHub Plus. Here's what you need to know, from the product page: Storage Backup: this ravpower filehub transfers files between sd cards, usb drives, hard disks and your devices(phone/tablet/c…

Scientists find a way to turn hydrogen into a metal
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 27 views
It's not every day that scientists are able to create an entirely new substance, but Harvard researchers managed to do just that, and in the process created what could be a world-changing material with a bunch of different applications. It's called atomic metallic hydrogen, and it's exactly what it sounds like: hydrogen in the form of metal. If that sounds weird, it probably should, because it's literally never existed on the planet before now. Continue reading...

The ‘Flappy Bird’ creator is back with an addictive new game
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

Flappy Bird was one of the simplest (and dumbest!) games to ever make the top of the app store. It was basically exactly the same as all the horizontal scrolling obstacle games that came before; it just happened to be unnecessarily hard. Now, creator Dong Nguyen is back with a new set of equally infuriating mobile games. Continue reading...

by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

The D-Link DIR-860L IEEE 802.11ac Wireless Router is one of the few single-device solutions that's worth spending more than $100 on, thanks in no small part to its outstanding range, fast speeds, and a very cool cloud management system that lets you monitor your home network from anywhere on the planet.

by Guest BGR Store- 0 replies
- 25 views
A new year means a new you, and that means you’ve likely resolved to treat your body right by exercising more and getting a good night’s sleep every day. But life can be unpredictable and sometimes it’s just more convenient to skip your daily run or stay up just a little bit later to finish that show you’ve been marathoning on Netflix. That is, it’s more convenient when you’re not being held accountable. For $29.99, the FitBit Flex will be that thing to keep you on track. Continue reading...

With all of the products and services that exist under the Google umbrella, updates are a dime a dozen, but this week has been especially busy for the tech behemoth. First there was the massive Google Voice overhaul on Monday (the first in five years!), then Google announced that JavaScript would be banned from Gmail and now the company is beginning to roll out an update for both Google Docs and Google Sheets on Android that will give users more options for editing their documents.

Trevor Noah hilariously explains what Donald Trump’s executive orders really mean
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 28 views
After a full week in office, Donald Trump gives off the impression that he’s looking to keep some of his campaign promises — he also gives off the impression that he’s going to lie to the American people and the world whenever he wants. Trump got a lot done this week, including signing plenty of executive orders, some scarier than others. Does that mean that everything he said he was going to do will get done? Yes and no. And Trever Noah has a hilarious take on the whole thing, explaining exactly what it all means. Continue reading...

This little power meter could save your computer from shoddy USB-C accessories
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 29 views
USB-C will be the universal standard before long, and for good reason. It's extremely versatile and can provide ample power to boot, but that also means the number of crappy bargain bin USB-C accessories is going to absolutely explode in the very near future. Bad things happen when you rely on a cheaply made cord or dongle, which is why no OEM endorses using unofficial accessories, but if you just can't resist the temptation of those no-name USB-C cords or external battery packs, Satechi just launched a tiny add-on that you should probably consider.

Petition for Donald Trump to release his tax returns shatters White House record
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 25 views
During the run-up to the 2016 Presidential election, Donald Trump was extraordinarily coy about releasing his tax returns. While boasting that he had nothing to hide, Trump delicately danced around the issue by claiming that he couldn't release his tax returns as he was undergoing an audit. Later on, he said he would gladly release his tax returns if Hillary Clinton released her deleted emails. Continue reading...

Microsoft continues to make inroads in a premium PC market previously dominated by Apple
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 31 views
Apple has traditionally dominated the market for premium priced PCs, but it appears that pricier Windows are finally starting to make inroads into a market Apple is used to ruling alone. During Microsoft's earnings conference call yesterday, CFO Amy Hood relayed that the company saw the cumulative sale of Windows licenses increase by 5% in the consumer market. All the more intriguing, though, is that Hood partially attributed this growth to a growing number of premium-priced PCs, a category that Microsoft defines as PCs that cost $900 or more.

Everyone loves Edison bulbs. Why? Because they're awesome.

It also happens that George Orwell’s dystopian hit 1984 was sold out on Amazon. No one knows why this is! Apparently, a story about dictatorship is currently the kind of book Americans want to read.

Interview: Survios is pushing the boundaries of VR to go ‘beyond reality’

2017 is going to be another banner year for virtual reality, with a continued torrent of new content flowing into the mainstream and a steady setting of the table for a “breakout” year for the industry in 2018. That’s according to Robert Nashak, COO of LA-based VR game developer Survios, which in recent weeks announced it’s raised $50 million in new financing. As a testament to its commercial potential, as well as a hint about what’s to come, that new funding included an investment from a major film studio, MGM. Continue reading...

For every new update Apple puts out, there's a small and intrepid team of hackers out on the internet trying to break Apple's security. Running a jailbroken version of iOS lets you take full control of the software, and consequently install every UI tweak and additional feature you can think of. Jailbreaking used to be more popular, back in the day before you could delete the Stocks app, and pre-copy-and-paste. These days, it's a more niche activity. Continue reading...

It's been over two years since Taylor Swift's 1989 was released, an album which sold over 1 million copies in a week and went on to become the best-selling album of 2014. In the years since, we haven't heard much in the way of new music from Swift, but that changed late last year when she shared a snippet of I Don't Wanna Live Forever -- a song that would be featured on the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack.
