New study shows why cable TV is actually doomed
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 21 views
Streaming services are trying to make cable TV redundant, and they're having some success. We already knew that much; the only question left is how long the change is going to take, and what pay TV will look like when we come back out the other side. A new survey on streaming TV packages sheds some light on what's happening in the pay TV industry. Although cable TV has remained remarkably resilient for an expensive product that everyone seems to hate, cheap streaming services are gaining ground. Continue reading...

by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 17 views
There are a few good reasons that the Google Wifi mesh wireless system is so popular right now. The first is that, well, it’s Google! The company has become well-known for its high-quality hardware products that complement its high-quality software products, and the Google Wifi system fits the bill. This mesh Wi-Fi system murders any and all dead spots that you used to have with your old router, covering up to 4,500 sq.ft. with blistering-fast Wi-Fi. Oh, and did we mention it’s on sale at a discount right now on Amazon? Here’s what you need to know from the product page: A new type of connected system for seamless Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home, helping elimin…

New law paves way for companies to mine asteroids
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 19 views
Mining companies pull valuable material out of the earth and sell it. That's their job, and while there's plenty of controversy over where, when, and to what extent corporations should be allowed to exploit our planet, human civilization wouldn't be where it is today without mining. But what if companies didn't have to actually dig into the Earth in order to harvest prized minerals? A new law in the EU is painting a picture of a future where mining companies look up rather than down in their search for new places to dig, and mining asteroids could be the new gold rush.

Splatoon 2 officially launches on the Nintendo Switch next week, but if you simply can't wait that long, you can actually spend a few hours playing the game this Saturday during the Splatfest World Premiere demo event. Unlike the Global Testfire back in March, the Splatfest will only be available during a single four-hour session. So if you own a Nintendo Switch, be sure to set aside some time to play.

These 5 crazy fidget spinners will make your kid’s friends sooooo jealous
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 17 views
Sorry, parents, the fidget spinner craze is definitely still going strong. The good news is that there are so many fads that have come and gone that costed a whole lot more money than a few bucks a pop, which is what you can expect to pay for hand spinners these days. Some of them cost a whole lot more than that, but finding unique fidget spinners that will make your child the envy of all his or her friends doesn’t have to mean spending an arm and a leg.

Video shows woman destroying $200,000 of sculptures while taking a selfie
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 21 views
What lengths would you go to snap the perfect selfie? Would you be willing to bend your neck at an awkward angle? Of course you would. What about posing in a public place, with onlookers rolling their eyes? Sure, why not. How about crushing $200,000 worth of fancy sculptures at an art exhibit? For one visitor of LA's 14th Factory, that answer was apparently a "yes" as well, and although the incident took place a couple of weeks back, we finally have a video showing how it all went down (no pun intended).

New NASA video shows Pluto as you’ve never seen it before
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 13 views
It might not be a planet anymore, but Pluto is still a pretty interesting place. It's a rocky world covered in a thick layer of water ice and frozen nitrogen, and it's close enough that we can study it with relative ease. Now, using data gathered by the New Horizons spacecraft when it flew past the pint-sized planet in 2015, NASA has published a video that offers the best look yet at what it would be like to fly high over Pluto's frigid peaks and valleys, and it's glorious.

The Samsung Galaxy S8’s delayed voice assistant could finally launch next week
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 14 views
Before the Galaxy S8 launched a few months ago, we kept seeing contradicting rumors about a signature software feature intended to offer users certain voice capabilities not available on other devices. Some said the Bixby assistant would be available at launch, and they were right. Others claimed the assistant wouldn’t be ready in time and would be enabled after a software update. They were right, too. Bixby's signature Voice feature only works in Korea, and Samsung has been struggling to bring it to other markets. But a new report offers us an actual launch date for the feature. Continue reading... Trending right now: New leaks show one iPhone 8 that’s stunn…

What’s going to happen when the iPhone 8 is a flop?
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

Right now, technology analysts are falling over themselves to roll back overly optimistic sales predictions for the iPhone 8. Apple's share price has been hitting record highs thanks to hype that's building up around the iPhone 8, which has been regarded thus far as the biggest iPhone upgrade since the original. But the past couple days, we've heard supply-chain rumors that Apple won't be able to get an under-screen fingerprint working in time, and that it will face massive supply shortages even if it does.

As far as we can tell, Tesla's timeline for Model 3 production is moving along as planned. Last weekend, Elon Musk posted a photo of the first Model 3 to roll off the production line. What's more, 30 more Model 3 units will be delivered to early reservation holders at a special event scheduled to take place on July 28. Following that, Tesla will kick up production a notch with the aim of manufacturing 40,000 vehicles per month by 2018. Alongside the aforementioned July 28 event, Tesla will reportedly be taking the time to showcase the final version of the Model 3. While we already have a solid grasp on what the car is going to look like, there remain a slew of unanswer…

When Pokemon Go launched last summer, it quickly became an obsession for millions of smartphone owners all around the world. Inevitably, the meteoric rise had to end as players began to lose interest in the game, but The Pokemon Company and Niantic did everything they could keep players engaged. They even released a physical accessory to go along with the game called the Pokemon Go Plus, and now, months later, a new accessory for that accessory is being released. Continue reading...

iPhone 8 design shown off again in new series of photos

The iPhone 8 will by all accounts mark the biggest iPhone upgrade we've seen in years. After a few years of incremental improvements to the iPhone, the iPhone 8 is poised to introduce a number of exciting new innovations, along with some features that users have demanded for years. Without question, the most intriguing aspect of the iPhone 8 will be its edgeless OLED display, with the surrounding bezels said to be as thin as 4mm. For some context, the iPhone 8 display is said to be as large as the iPhone 7 Plus, albeit in a form factor that's just a hair bigger than the iPhone 7. Continue reading...

The GoPro-killing 4K action cam everyone loves is back down to $64
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

GoPro makes such fantastic action cams, and it's newest lineup is its best by far. We would love to recommend the GoPro HERO5 Black to anyone and everyone out there in search of a new 4k action camera, but the truth is there are just too many other options out there that offer the same or nearly the same quality for a small fraction of the price. A perfect example is the FITFORT 4K Action Camera, a product with an insanely good customer rating and an insanely low price tag. At $64 in Amazon's current sale, you'd be crazy to skip it. Here are some key details from the product page: 【100% 4K HD Action Camera】: Provides 4K/25FPS, 2.7K/30FPS, 1080P/60FPS, 1080P/30FPS a…

It did not seem like much of a stretch, but just two days later, a new report from DigiTimes suggests that an early release is out of the question, and that the two phones will duke it out in September.
