The best way to find AirPods in stock just got even better
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies

If you want to score yourself a pair of Apple's white-hot AirPods, you essentially have three options. First, you can pay a premium and order AirPods on Amazon. You'll have them shipped to your door in two days, but it'll cost you. The second option is to just order a pair on Apple's website. At the time of this writing, Apple was quoting an estimated delivery time of six weeks for new AirPods orders. So, with any luck, you'll have them in your hands — and in your ears — by mid-February. Your other option is to use one of several different AirPods inventory websites that have popped up since Apple's hot new truly wireless earbuds debuted. And on that front, we have som…

It's official: 2017 is going to be a huge year for smartphone fans. Don't believe us, check out the just-launched Huawei Honor 6X, which features killer specs and a gorgeous design at a price point you seriously won't believe.

That's right... more than two full days!

Exclusive: This could be the world's first look at the Galaxy S8
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 21 views
Samsung's flagship Galaxy S phones are always among the most hotly anticipated handsets of the year, but the Galaxy S8 is something more. After a tumultuous holiday season that followed the unprecedented cancellation of the company's Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, Samsung must now set itself on a path toward regaining consumers' trust. The company isn't off to a good start at all, in light of recent news that Samsung's leader has been officially named as a suspect in a scandalous political bribery probe that could ultimately see South Korea's president removed from office. It's a tough time indeed for the world's top smartphone maker by volume, but the company hopes that it…

Donald Trump will hold his first press conference since July 27th, 2016, on Wednesday afternoon. It will be his first press conference as president-elect of the United States, coming amid a flurry of bizarre and troubling reports regarding his ties to Russia. The conference was originally scheduled to take place on December 15th, but was postponed as Trump and his team attempted to navigate the treacherous waters of making cabinet appointments and putting together a transition team.

Three different companies told the FBI they could hack the iPhone
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 22 views
One of Apple's most public bits of drama from 2016 was its clash with the FBI over an iPhone 5c belonging to a gunman who killed 16 people and injured a further 24. The government demanded that Apple help it in unlocking the shooter's phone in the search for additional evidence, but Apple refused on the grounds that it would be a violation of the privacy of not just the suspect himself, but of all smartphone users. Now, as part of a lawsuit brought on by several news agencies who want to know how the FBI ended up breaking into the device without the company's help, the government has disclosed a lengthy report on the entire investigation.

Google made a big splash last year when it announced Android Wear 2.0 with a variety of new features and improvements. However, not much happened after that as manufacturers ended up not releasing any new smartwatches and Google itself pushed back the release of the updated OS until sometime in 2017.

Cop tickets Michigan man for warming up his car in the driveway
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

As someone who lives in Wisconsin, I can tell you that in the winter just about everyone with any sense takes a moment to start their car and leave it running for five or ten minutes before they actually depart. The same is true in Michigan, which shares Wisconsin's habit of frigid winter. But one unlucky driver ended up on the wrong end of a moody cop near Detroit and found himself with a $128 ticket for doing what virtually every other driver in the state does whenever the weather hits the single digits: warming up his car.

There’s a skin that will make your iPhone 7 Plus look like the original iPhone
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies

Apple's iPhone has come a long way in 10 years. A loooooong way. The first-generation iPhone unveiled 10 years ago this week featured a tiny 3.5-inch touchscreen with 320 x 480 resolution (oh, but what a touchscreen it was), a 412MHz single-core processor, between 4GB and 16GB of storage and a 2-megapixel camera. Those specs don't exactly translate to 2017 very well, but the design of the phone really does. That sleek metal housing is as sleek today as it was back then, and now a company has made a throwback skin that transforms the last iPhone into the first iPhone. Continue reading...

J.J. Abrams doesn’t ‘feel any desire’ to make more reboots or remakes
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies

Following his incredibly successful television career, having a hand in the creation of shows like Felicity, Alias and Lost, J.J. Abrams was handed the keys to some of the biggest film franchises in history. It started with a sequel — Mission: Impossible III. Up next, he was asked to reboot Star Trek for the 21st century. Finally, everything culminated in Disney asking Abrams to help reboot Star Wars with a new cast of heroes. Needless to say, it's been an incredible run for the guy who wrote Regarding Henry, but when asked about whether or not he'd be willing to reboot or remake another classic franchise, he sounded like he was done.

Millions of Pokemon Go players are still trying to catch every Pokemon creature that the game has spread all over the world. But not in China. The popular app is still not available in the region, and it might not launch anytime soon. Apparently, the country's censoring body is still evaluating security risks related to Pokemon Go. And it’s not just Niantic's hit iPhone and Android game that’s affected. Any other similar application that uses augmented reality (AR) might not be allowed in the country. Continue reading...

The Super Bowl is one of the few times each year when cord cutters feel a bit of remorse for having ditched pay TV. Instead of being able to host a Super Bowl party yourself, you have to go to a friend's house where you can't fully enjoy the game since you have to drive home when it's over. This year's Super Bowl is shaping up to be a huge one considering how great the playoffs are turning out already, and guess what: You won't need pay TV to watch it from the comfort of your own home. Pick up one of the top-rated HDTV antennas we've laid out for you below, and you'll enjoy live network TV in 1080p Full HD for free... for life. Continue reading... Trending right now…
