This insanely thin iPhone case is made out of real body armor
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 26 views
I dropped my iPhone the other day, and my beloved Tozo iPhone case somehow got a tear in the corner (my phone doesn’t have a scratch on it though, so kudos). The Tozo case is just $9 on Amazon so I always have a few backups on hand. But this time I felt like trying something different, so I ordered a very cool iPhone case we’ve covered a couple of times before here on the site. The PITAKA Aramid Fiber Minimalist iPhone 7 Case and the PITAKA Aramid Fiber Minimalist iPhone 7 Plus Case are insanely thin at just 0.03 inches, but they still offer terrific protection. How? They’re made out of a material called aramid, which is actually what they use to make body armor. They off…

Plenty of crooks have attempted to leave the police in their dust by ditching the pavement and going off-road, but Ford's latest police-only pursuit vehicle is ready to give them a run for their money. It's packed with power, durability, and enough upgrades to handle just about any type of terrain, and it's like no other police car you've ever seen — because it's not a car at all. The automotive company just revealed the F-150 Police Responder, and it's an absolute beast. Continue reading... Trending right now: Yes, the iPhone 8 is probably delayed. So what?

Andy Rubin says the Essential Phone will be released “in a few weeks”
by Guest Justin Herrick- 0 replies

It looks like the wait for the Essential Phone to be released is coming to an end soon. When a phone launches, the expectation is that it’ll be released in a couple of weeks. Companies don’t like waiting to long to go from launch to release as all of the hype generated typically dies off.

Moto Z2 Force looks to see some downgrades from its predecessor

Lenovo had a hit on their hands with 2016’s Moto Z Force, which offered great battery life on top of those innovative Moto Mods. Like all companies that manage to do something right, however, they’re planning on completely undoing that success by launching a sequel device that actually offers worse hardware than the original.

The definitive list of Best Buy's best 'Black Friday in July' deals!
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 20 views
Amazon's third annual Prime Day sale was a huge success for Amazon, which broke prior sales records, and for shoppers who scored great deals on thousands of different products across the site. Of course, why should Amazon have all the fun this summer? Other retailers tried to jump on the bandwagon and run special sales last week to compete with Prime Day, but competing with Amazon is easier said than done. Best Buy decided to take a different approach, pushing its big summer sale to the following week so that it didn't compete directly with the Prime Day juggernaut. Well, Best Buy's big "Black Friday in July" sales event is finally here, and it's packed full of bargain…

Yes, the iPhone 8 is delayed. So what?
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies

Rumors that inevitably swirl ahead of each new iPhone launch. Among them, there are always rumblings of supply shortages at launch, and some reports inevitably state that the new iPhone's release may even be delayed due to manufacturing difficulties. Such is the case with the upcoming new "iPhone 8," which will be Apple's first completely redesigned iPhone since it released the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus back in 2014. The company has been reusing the same phone design each year since then, but that comes to an end in 2017 with a ground-up redesign for the iPhone 8, and new glass housings for the "iPhone 7s" and "iPhone 7s Plus." This line of rumors ahead of the iPhone …

Samsung and Google are finally on the same side as Apple in a new battle
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies

It remains to be seen how Apple's legal battle with Qualcomm is going to play out, but from what we can tell so far, it seems as if the entire tech industry has already taken sides with Apple. If you recall, Apple earlier this year filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Qualcomm, alleging that the company employed anticompetitive business tactics as a means to extract incredibly high royalty payments from Apple for the LTE chips that go into the iPhone.

Is Facebook making a modular smartphone?
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 18 views
Modular smartphones sound great on paper. They’re devices that would significantly outlive traditional handsets, as the user would be able to upgrade the hardware by simply swapping the old parts with newer one. They’re also devices that would let the user customize a phone to meet his or her preferences. You could add extra batteries or sensors and better camera. In practice, nobody was able to pull off this smartphone miracle. Google’s Project Ara is one of the most prominent failures, although there are a few other modular smartphone projects that failed to get any meaningful traction. Can Facebook change any of that?

If you hoped that the Game of Thrones showrunners would keep making spinoffs after the HBO hit series is done, you should know they have other plans that do not include dragons or white walkers. That’s right, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will move away from the Game of Thrones universe, but they won’t stop working with HBO. Continue reading...

Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 lunar sample bag just sold at auction for an insane amount

Back in May, we told you about the upcoming auction of a true piece of space travel history: Neil Armstrong's very own lunar sample bag which not only flew into space on the Apollo 11 mission but was also carried by the famous astronaut on the lunar surface and filled with dust and rock from the moon. The bag, which landed in private hands due to a hilarious mix-up at a government auction, finally went on the block at Sotheby's and was bought by someone with very, very deep pockets for a sum of $1.5 million.

Most of us — okay, nearly all of us — will never have the opportunity to set foot inside the International Space Station. The multi-billion-dollar floating laboratory and astronaut bed and breakfast is a pretty exclusive destination, and unless you're ready to dedicate your life to science and spend decades in pursuit of that ultimate goal, the closest you're ever going to get is Google's new Street View ISS hub, but that's still pretty cool.

Apple is still researching advanced battery designs for EVs
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 26 views
Amid speculation that Apple was intent on designing and manufacturing its own branded car, word surfaced last September that Apple was completely "rethinking" its strategy in the automotive space. What followed after that were a number of layoffs and a shift of focus, with reports indicating that Apple was abandoning its designs on manufacturing a car in favor of working on specific auto-related technologies. To this point, Tim Cook last month essentially confirmed Apple's interest in researching AI systems for self-driving cars. "We’re focusing on autonomous systems,” Cook said when asked about Apple's automotive ambitions. “It’s a core technology that we view as very…

Following the explosive success of the NES Classic Edition last year, more miniaturized retro consoles from Nintendo seemed inevitable. And inevitable they were, as the company officially unveiled the SNES Classic Edition late last month, set to launch on September 29th for $79.99. There was some speculation that the SNES would be the final Classic Edition console, but on Tuesday, Nintendo filed a trademark application that seems to suggest an N64 Classic Edition is in the works as well.

Australia the latest country to have no idea how encryption works
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

Australia is the latest country to seek ways to access information passed between smartphones via encrypted apps, information that might be relevant to criminal investigations and counterterrorism operations. The Australian government wants to be able to spy on encrypted means of communications, whether they’re built in to devices like the iPhone, or apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and anything else that secures chats and voice calls. But, the Australian government has said it doesn’t want backdoors in iOS! This only proves that governments still fail to grasp how encrypted iPhones work. Continue reading...

Just because your computer can run Windows 10 with aplomb right now, it doesn’t mean it’s going to get all the Windows 10 versions that Microsoft will launch — and the company won’t move past number 10 anytime soon, so they’ll all be Windows 10 versions.

T-Mobile, the little magenta phone company that could, isn't so little any more. On Wednesday, it posted yet another stellar set of quarterly results, blowing away analyst estimates on the financial side. But far more importantly, it showed a record-low rate of customer attrition -- in other words, customers are staying loyal and staying with T-Mobile. In today's cut-throat mobile world, loyal customers are worth their weight in gold, and T-Mobile's stellar earnings shows why. Continue reading...
