Brilliant $16 device adds a HUD with navigation to any car
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 32 views
I borrowed a friend’s $150,000 Mercedes not too long ago, and I was obviously very impressed. There are so many amazing features packed into that luxury sedan, and a ton of them involve technology. One of the things I missed the most when I gave it back after a few hours was the head up display, or HUD, which projects important info like speed and navigation directions right up onto the windshield. Well, it turns out that you don’t need a $150,000 luxury sedan to enjoy this awesome tech. All you need is $16 and you can pick up a HaloVa Universal In-Car HUD on Amazon. Here are some of the key details from the product page: What's in the box - 1 GPS Navigation Holder…

Don’t believe this insane ’15 days of darkness’ rumor that NASA has already debunked
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 15 views
Ah, the internet. It's given us complete freedom to communicate with basically whoever we want and provides a wealth of information to anyone who takes the time to search. Unfortunately, it also facilitates the spread of absolutely ridiculous rumors that have no basis in reality, and a particularly asinine claim that the entire Earth is about to be shrouded in darkness for over two weeks just keeps giving NASA grief. It's time for a quick reality check. Continue reading...

Verizon is even screwing up landlines now
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

It's a bad week to work in Verizon's PR department. Yesterday, the company announced that it's making its Unlimited plans far worse, with new confusing options, price hikes for good service, and video throttling for everyone. But it's not just the Verizon Wireless department that's having a rough time of it: even Verizon's landline department is screwing up. Continue reading...

Android Oreo is wreaking havoc with people’s Bluetooth
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

The final beta of Android Oreo is out for Pixel and Nexus owners, which means that there's more people than ever running experimental software on their day-to-day devices. So it really shouldn't be a surprise to hear that Google's forums are blowing up with complaints about Oreo wrecking Bluetooth connectivity. But it sure doesn't bode well for Google rolling out Oreo to everyone any time soon. Continue reading...

Stronger-than-steel ‘unbreakable’ rubber bands may be on the way
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

It's hard to argue with the simplicity and design of a rubber band. I mean, it has a million uses, but at the end of the day it's just a small strip of rubber. How much better could it possibly get? Ohio-based Alliance Rubber wants to find out, so they're partnering with scientists in the field of graphene research in an effort to develop next-generation rubber bands which are not only incredibly strong, but can also last pretty much forever.

Of course Samsung is working on an Amazon Echo rival
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 31 views
About two months ago, a speculative report surfaced indicating that Samsung was busy working on a Bixby-powered smart speaker designed to compete with the likes of Amazon's Echo and Google Home. Hardly a surprise, the smart speaker market has become a much more alluring space for tech companies in recent years, largely due to the success Amazon has enjoyed with the Echo over the past years. Indeed, Apple is also getting into the mix with its forthcoming Siri-based HomePod speaker which, if all goes according to plan, will hit store shelves later this year. Continue reading...

The top-end iPhone 8 might have way more storage than most MacBooks
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

Gone are the days when Apple would troll customers with 16GB versions of its newest iPhone. Apple fixed the annoying problem last year, making 32GB the base storage for new handsets. This year’s iPhones will have at least 32GB of storage on board, but a new rumor out of Asia says Apple may double that for the iPhone 8. Even more exciting, the new storage tiers will go all the way up to 512GB of storage. Continue reading...

T-Mobile customers: Don’t buy a Galaxy Note 8
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 19 views
Samsung has officially taken the wraps off its worst-kept secret, the Galaxy Note 8. It's a fantastic phone in its own right, and should be a much-needed return to business as usual for Samsung. But for anyone committed to staying on T-Mobile for the forseeable future, buying Samsung's newest phablet would be a massive mistake. You see, T-Mobile said last week that two devices compatible with its new 600MHz network would be launched by the end of the year -- one from Samsung and one from LG. With our best guessing hats on, we predicted that would be the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and LG V30. But sadly, we were wrong. Continue reading... Trending right now: Oreo ha…

Like the rest of the world, we adore fantastic space photos. High-powered telescopes and exploratory spacecraft have delivered some truly jaw-dropping glimpses at what lies beyond the reaches of our pathetic human vision, and celestial eye candy is always a treat. Unfortunately, sometimes catching a peek at destinations that lie many light years from Earth creates more questions than it answers, and that's exactly what is happening with this gorgeous image of the red supergiant star Antares.

The world’s thinnest iPhone 7 Plus battery case will double your battery life without much bulk
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

The iPhone 7 Plus has fantastic battery life. It’s easily among the best in the business when it comes to longevity, but there’s obviously always room for improvement. It’s also a pretty big phone though, so you don’t want to add too much bulk, even if it is in the name of extending your time between charges. The Sunwell iPhone 7 Plus Battery Case claims to be the thinnest 7 Plus battery case in the world. At the very least, it’s the thinnest case we’ve ever seen. It still manages to pack a 4,000 mAh battery that will more than double your iPhone’s battery life, and it costs less than $40 right now on Amazon. Here are the highlights from the product listing: ## MAG…

It's 2017! The year the smartphone bezel finally died! All that wasted space is finally gone! And it's been replaced by even more screen real estate! Wait, what's that you say? Apple is about to launch three new flagship iPhones, but only one of them sports a modern design? And the other two feature a design that looks almost exactly like the hot new iPhones Apple released in... 2014!? Apple fans have plenty of things to be excited about ahead of next month's big tenth anniversary iPhone event. Unfortunately, a new leak reaffirms the notion that the design of Apple's iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus design isn't one of them. Continue reading... Trending right now: …

Today is the day countless Android fans have been waiting for. Samsung, the world’s top smartphone vendor by sales volume, has unveiled the Galaxy Note 8. After months of leaks and rumors, Samsung’s new flagship phablet is finally a reality. The bad news is there weren’t many surprises since we already knew just about everything there was to know. The good news, however, is that it lived up to everyone’s expectations and more. The Note 8 is similar in design to the Galaxy S8 and S8+ Samsung released earlier this year, which has pros and cons. The updated Infinity screen is a sight to behold, and the overall design is nothing short of a masterpiece. But just like the S8…
