NASA’s Hubble captures gorgeous photo of galaxy with totally unpronounceable name
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 18 views
There's plenty of reasons to envy anyone whose job it is to find cool stuff in space. I mean, they get to stare into the cosmos with fancy, priceless tools, and discover things that humanity has never seen before. That being said, there's one thing that definitely wouldn't be so great about finding countless new planets, galaxies, and star formations: coming up with names for them all. A stunning new photo released by NASA shows off a gorgeous galaxy some 400 million light-years away from Earth, but its name is absolutely ridiculous. That fancy blob of orange and blue you see above is officially 2XMM J143450.5+033843. Continue reading... Trending right now: Sorr…

Stephen Colbert has some things to say about Trump’s latest tweets
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 18 views
In what's become something of an embarrassing national tradition, Donald Trump this week took to Twitter and blasted MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski. In a pair of tweets, Trump called Brzezinski "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" and then later referenced a New Year's Eve meeting where he said "she was bleeding badly from a face-lift." Predictably, Trump's tweets were widely criticized, with even prominent Republicans coming out and stating that Trump's behavior was decidedly un-presidential. Continue reading...

I wonder why Samsung’s working so hard on non-flammable batteries
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 21 views
The Galaxy Note 7 debacle taught Samsung a thing or two about quality assurance practices, especially for things that can explode. It’s sad that Samsung had to deal with this particular problem after so many years of building smartphones, but at least Samsung learned its lesson. No Galaxy S8 has exploded since the phone’s launch, and it looks like there’s no reason to worry about any Samsung phone going forward. But Samsung isn’t stopping at simply ensuring that existing batteries won’t explode. It’s also working on a type of battery that won’t be able to catch fire even if something bad happens to it.

Pacific coastline flooded with ‘sea pickles’
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 18 views
There's lots of curious creatures in the world's oceans — and we got a stunning glimpse at some of the most mysterious ones very recently — but most of the time they keep to themselves, zipping around the depths or floating listlessly on the sea floor. Now, beaches along the Pacific coast are being invaded with a curious creature that, while harmless, is creating something of a scene. They're "sea pickles," and they're definitely not what you want to see when you're about to soak up some sun on the sand. Continue reading...

Samsung is investing billions in manufacturing plants for the next iPhones
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

When you think of Samsung and smartphones, chances are you're imagining the Galaxy S8 or a gently smoldering Galaxy Note 7. But as well as making its own smartphones, Samsung is also a significant supplier of components to its rival, including Apple. Since there's only a couple months left until the iPhone 8 is made official, we already have a good idea that Samsung is going to have a hand in supplying OLED panels for Apple's latest and greatest. But according to a new supply chain rumor, Samsung isn't going to stop there. Continue reading...

The most expensive Galaxy Note 8 could cost way more than $1,000

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Note 8 in less than two months, which means we’ll be bombarded by more leaks and rumors in the coming weeks. The phone will be very similar to the Galaxy S8+, so we shouldn’t expect any surprises in terms of design or specs. But the Galaxy Note 8 will have a few exclusive features, including an S Pen stylus and an Isocell Dual camera on the back. And if this new rumor pans out, the new Note will also feature more built-in memory than the Galaxy S8. Continue reading...

This insane augmented reality video shows why iOS 11 will be a game-changer
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies

The iPhone 8 will be great and all, but it's hard not to be as excited for the impending release of iOS 11. While typical iOS updates offer up a nice selection of system tweaks and new features, iOS 11 may very well prove to be a game-changing update thanks to the introduction of ARKit. Originally unveiled during Apple's WWDC keynote earlier this month, ARKit provides developers with the tools and framework to easily craft immersive -- and sometimes mind-boggling -- augmented reality experiences.

Earlier this week, notorious iPhone leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer showed off an iPhone 8 CAD mockup in an extensive video. It's one of the first opportunities we've had to examine the next iPhone's likely physical design in detail, and it didn't disappoint. Put simply, this year's iPhone is going to be a looker. Regardless of what it's called, the Next iPhone is going to do what needs to be done in terms of physical design. It looks like a fitting tribute to everything that's come before: the glass front and back of the iPhone 4 combined with the rounded metal chassis of the iPhone 6 design, wrapped up in the new Jet Black finish from the iPhone 7.

Jay-Z is one of the most influential hip-hop artists and entrepreneurs on the planet, so a new album from the man himself is a pretty big deal for his countless fans. Unfortunately, since his new 35-minute collection titled 4:44 is a Tidal streaming exclusive, only the 17 people who are actually subscribed to the service will get to hear it. Except for today, that is, because iHeartRadio is streaming the entire album for 24 hours only, and you can listen to it for free. Continue reading...

Ecobee3 drops to lowest price ever as Amazon makes way for the Ecobee4

The hot new Ecobee4 was recently released, and it really is a fantastic smart thermostat. It does pretty much everything its predecessor could do, but it also mixes in the functionality of an Amazon Echo speaker. That's right, you can speak to your Ecobee4 like it's an Echo and command Alexa to do whatever you want — not just tied to Ecobee skills, but any skills. Of course, now that the Ecobee4 is here, the Ecobee3 will be phased out. If you already have an Alexa smart speaker though, the Ecobee3 is the perfect smart thermostat for you. And guess what: It's on sale right now on Amazon at an all-time low! Here are some key details from the product page: Works with …

Crisis-hit Uber considers giving shares to drivers, report says

It's no secret that the last few months have been bad for Uber. The company has been hit by scandal after scandal, the founder, CEO and half of the management team is out, and it's locked in a massive legal fight with Google. Oh, and it's still losing hundreds of millions of dollars every month. A new report from Axios claims that Uber has had "multiple meetings" with the SEC about giving shares in the company to drivers. There's a couple of reasons Uber would be considering such a dramatic move, but it all boils down to the same thing: Uber's getting worried. Continue reading...
