- 21 views
Earlier this week, special prosecutors asked a court in South Korea to grant an arrest warrant for Samsung’s chief Jay Y. Lee. The investigators are looking into corruption and bribery allegations concerning the president of South Korea and her associates. Lee on Wednesday morning appeared in court, and then went to jail, where he will await the court’s decision on an arrest warrant. Continue reading...

These 5 popular Vizio sound bars are all on sale on Amazon
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 20 views
Sure, Bose sound bars are awesome. Of course, the Sonos Playbar is fantastic. There’s just one problem in both cases: they cost a fortune. If you’re somehow not yet aware, there’s another company that’s known far and wide for its high-quality sound bar setups, and that company is Vizio. Vizio made a name for itself by flooding the market with affordable TVs that offered the same great viewing experience as might pricier models from Samsung and LG, and pricing has come down across the board. The company is about much more than just TVs these days, however, and its sound bars are among the best in the business. They’re all extremely affordable considering what they offer…

FTC alleges Qualcomm forced Apple into iPhone LTE chip deals
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 20 views
The Federal Trade Commission has reason to believe that Qualcomm abused its position in the broadband chip manufacturing business to obtain an advantage illegally. The chip maker is said to have forced smartphone makers to agree to anti-competitive business arrangements that prevented them from using modems from Qualcomm’s competitors. Apple is one of the high-profile Qualcomm partners that was allegedly forced to enter into an exclusive agreement for modem chips, which prevented Apple from using any other chips for several years. Only last year, Apple added a second LTE provider to its iPhone supply — that’s Intel, one of Qualcomm’s main rivals, and a company that has…

Something in space is killing off entire galaxies
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 21 views
When we think about the survival of the human race we often focus on making sure our planet stays alive and habitable, but out there in the depths of space there are entire galaxies being killed off in a manner that is utterly perplexing scientists. A new paper (PDF) from researchers working at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research addresses the odd and extremely troubling trend and attempts to propose an answer for what exactly is leading literally thousands of galaxies to die premature deaths.

Apple fans, let your freak flag fly

The Jony Ive-narrated introductory video for the Apple Pencil is without question the most cringeworthy video Apple has ever produced. Seriously, it’s like a parody of an Apple video produced by Apple. Watch it again right here if you don't remember it. Ive speaks with such passion, diving deep into the intricate details and the magic behind the creation of… a friggin stylus. Sure, it’s a nice stylus, but at the end of the day it’s still… a friggin stylus. If you own an Apple Pencil, you’re obviously comfortable with buying into pretty much anything Apple’s selling (jk, jk, it’s so awesome!!), so why not let the world know?

Apple’s Mac business will have a terrific 2017, a new report says. Apple is expected to ship some 15 million laptops this year, or 10% more than last year. Apple’s 2016 MacBook Pro is to “blame” for the increased interest in MacBooks. Additionally, Apple’s upcoming 2017 MacBook and MacBook Pro updates should also convince even more users to upgrade.

This time around, we’re looking at what seems to be an actual case that was created specifically for the Galaxy S8 Plus.

Stick this phone on the wall and control it with your eyes

What do smartphone buyers actually want out of their devices? Chinese electronics manufacturer ZTE wanted to find out, so they created Project CSX, which apparently stands for "Crowd Source X" — I guess the "X" will forever remain a mystery — and set out to design a device based entirely on votes from the general public. The result? A sticky phone that you can slap on the wall and then control hands-free using just your eyes. Wait... what? Continue reading...
