A rare chance to save big on Amazon’s hottest Kindle bundle
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 36 views
During the holidays, Kindle sales are a dime a dozen. Why? Because Amazon's popular eBook readers make fantastic gifts. Outside of the holidays though, Kindle deals can be few and far between — especially when it comes to Amazon's hottest kindle bundle. The Kindle Essentials Bundle includes a 6-inch Kindle eReader, a black Amazon Cover for Kindle, and a 5W power adapter for faster charging. Separately, those three items cost $130, but Amazon typically sells them for $115. But right now, while supplies last, the Kindle Essentials Bundle is on sale for just $94.97 if you use the promo code KINDLEBUNDLE at checkout. That's an extra $20 off, and it's the best price you'll fin…

Investigations into Galaxy Note 7 explosions have concluded, but results are conflicting
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 22 views
The numerous and seemingly spontaneous Galaxy Note 7 fires and explosions late last year forced Samsung to do something that was once unthinkable: recall a major mobile product only a few months after its launch. Samsung is expected to announce what caused the overheating accidents that led to unexpected fires very soon, but it looks like some results have already been leaked. And they’re pretty conflicting. Some reports mention the phablet’s battery as the culprit, while other reports indicate that the phone’s design and software fail-safe mechanisms are to blame. Continue reading...

This portable Wi-Fi router is smaller (and smarter?) than your smartphone
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

The HooToo Wireless Travel Router is a device so smart, it pays for itself in convenience the very first time you use it. This little gadget is a portable wireless router that’s smaller than your smartphone, creating a secure Wi-Fi network at the droop of a hat. Then it also packs a large 10,400 mAh battery that can charge your iPhone, Android, tablet and anything else on the go. Still not convinced? It has a USB port that lets you attach any USB flash drive so you can connect your phone and move photos, videos and other large files off your device to clear space. How cool is that?!

Watch this disgruntled customer drive her SUV through a T-Mobile store

Whether you're a customer of AT&T, Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile, you can probably say that at some point you've wanted to drive your car through your respective wireless carrier's front door. Most of us have enough sense to pull ourselves together before we smash the gas pedal, but one Florida woman apparently just couldn't take it anymore and sped her SUV right through the massive glass wall at a local T-Mobile store.

Apple just released its first handful of AirPods ads
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 24 views
When Apple first introduced its AirPods earlier this fall, the wireless earbuds were predictably subjected to quite a bit of ridicule. And with good reason, some of the early AirPods photos looked absolutely absurd. What's more, many critics and even prospective buyers were reasonably concerned that free floating design of the AirPods would cause the earbuds to fall out with ease. Continue reading...

The smartphone market would look a lot different today were it not for Andy Rubin. An exceptional engineer with a keen eye for knowing where the tech landscape is liable to shift, Rubin famously co-founded Android before the company was acquired by Google in 2005. With Rubin steering the Android ship, Google's mobile OS quickly became a viable alternative to iOS before eventually becoming the most prevalent mobile OS on the planet. Continue reading...

Hands on with the Nintendo Switch: Nintendo’s road to recovery begins here
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 20 views
When Nintendo unveiled the Wii at E3 2005, I was skeptical. Beyond the name being bafflingly stupid, the gimmick of motion controls didn't appeal to me in the slightest. Needless to say, the world didn't share my skepticism, as Nintendo went on to sell over 100 million Wii consoles in 10 years. Cut to 2011. I'm sitting in the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, waiting to see Nintendo's long-awaited response to the PS3 and Xbox 360. As soon as that bulky touchscreen controller appears on stage, I feel a sense of dread wash over me. Without question, that unveiling was a low point in the history of Nintendo. Nearly six years later, I'm pleased to say that the Switch has a …

You will totally never guess the most hated company in America
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 25 views
Every year, survey companies take ghoulish delight in quantifying the most-hated company in America. Every year, without fail, Time Warner breathes a sigh of relief as Comcast pips it to first place. Well, this is 2017, and things are going to be totally different. Pharmaceuticul company and producer of the weirdly-expensive EpiPen, Mylan, has rocketed to third place. Sears is on the list, as is Facebook. But you'll be glad to know that some things never change: death, taxes, and our national hatred of Comcast. Continue reading...

$40 device doubles the storage of your 32GB iPhone 7 or 7 Plus

There’s no shame in wanting to save some cash when buying a new iPhone. After all, $649 for an iPhone 7 and $679 for an iPhone 7 Plus is already a very tall order. But now that you’ve spent some time with your new iPhone, you have a bit of buyer’s remorse. That’s right, even with twice as much space, the "not enough storage" error often rears its ugly head on Apple’s upgraded entry-level iPhones. It’s frustrating indeed, but there’s a device that can can help and it’s much cheaper than the $100 you would have spent for the next iPhone model up. Check out the SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive.

Whatsapp bug allows viewing of encrypted messages

Whatsapp's messaging app supposedly ensures strong end-to-end encryption, with the idea being that only the people involved in a conversation will ever be able to read the messages. But as it turns out, a programming bug -- that Whatsapp has known about for some time and has not fixed -- theoretically allows Whatsapp to snoop on any encrypted messages sent over the platform.

Tesla removes Autopilot speed limit after users whine on Twitter

Tesla has rolled out a software update for its cars that removes a speed limit on Autopilot mode. Since a previous update, which was unveiled shortly before Christmas, drivers had been forced to travel at the posted speed limit when in Autopilot mode on non-divided roads. Prior to that update, Autopilot let you cruise at 5mph over the posted speed limit, more in line with how people actually drive on the highway. Continue reading...

AT&T's streaming service is off to a rough start. After the initial launch giddiness, the service has had major service problems including crashing apps, apps not loading, the wrong channels being shown in regions, and the much-vaunted 72-hour rewind service not functioning at all. To top things off, an Apple TV update last night that was supposed to fix bugs seems to have broken the Apple TV service for everyone. As you'd expect, AT&T's customer service is dealing with this super well. Continue reading...
