HTC told us why the HTC U11 doesn’t have a bezel-less display
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 24 views
In the early hours of the morning while most people in the United States were sound asleep, HTC unveiled its next-generation flagship smartphone. The HTC U11 made its debut in Taipei, emerging as a solid contender to other 2017 flagship smartphones (at least, on paper, but we'll discuss that in a separate post). The U11 sports a unique design with what HTC refers to as "liquid design language," characterized by smooth lines and mirror-like colored finishes that really catch light in a beautiful way. But not all of the defining elements of HTC's U11 design are so impressive. In 2017, every major smartphone maker is moving toward a new display design that does away with …

How to protect yourself against WannaCry ransomware
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 27 views
As computer virus outbreaks go, the WannaCry ransomware attack currently spreading across the globe is one of the largest such attacks in some time. As we detailed thoroughly on Monday, WannaCry is a dangerous trojan virus that infects Windows computers, encrypting nearly all data in the process. In order to decrypt the files and regain access, WannaCry demands that $300 in bitcoins be paid to an anonymous account. After three days, the $300 ransom increases to $600. After seven days without payment, the computer's contents are deleted. You can learn everything you need to know about WannaCry in this post. Since the ransomware is still spreading, however, we want to go…

Our favorite Alexa-enabled smart thermostat is still on sale for $50 less than a Nest
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

We won’t beat around the bush: if you want the best Alexa-enabled smart thermostat that money can buy, you want the Ecobee3 Thermostat with Sensor. Yes, we know the Nest is the smart thermostat that started it all, and yes, we know there’s an Ecobee4 in the works. The Ecobee3 looks and performs better than the Nest in our opinion, however. And as for the Ecobee4, it has a few improvements but nothing Earth shattering. Instead of waiting for the 4 and spending more money, do yourself a favor and snag an Ecobee3 on Amazon at its sale price. Here are some key details from the product page: Works with Amazon Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately) Smart…

Smartphone cameras are important, and that’s been a very painful sticking point for HTC before. They’re trying to fix that the U11, and if we’re going by DxOMark scores, they’ve succeeded.

Exclusive: Upcoming Apple Watch to include game-changing health features

There's no doubt about it — the Apple Watch is a hit. While Apple has not disclosed sales numbers, smart money has the device, now in its second generation, at over 25 million units sold. That not only means the watch is a scorcher that is now beating the initial trajectory of the iPhone, but recent estimates also crown it the world's top-selling fitness device, outpacing dedicated fitness trackers from the likes of Fitbit in regards to market share. The Apple Watch has generated more revenue since its debut than the entire Swiss watch industry during that period of time, which is an incredible achievement. The fitness aspect of the watch has always been a huge focus, …

If there’s one Android phone that could be just as hot as the Galaxy S8 when it debuts, it’s the OnePlus 5, which will be unveiled at some point in the coming weeks. The next-gen OnePlus handset will have specs on par with the Galaxy S8, many reports have shown, but will be sold at a more affordable price. Furthermore, the phone will pack a dual lens camera on the back, something the Galaxy S8 does not have. Now, a pair of fresh leaks indicates there’s really only one single reason to buy the Galaxy S8 instead. Continue reading...

After a tense few weeks of North Korea shouting at the world, launching things into the air, and many other countries subsequently shouting back, it doesn't seem like things are going to be quieting down any time soon. The reclusive nation spent the weekend showing the entire world just how close it is to becoming a real problem by sending its new ballistic missile skyward. Reports of the launch flooded the internet shortly after it took place, but now the country itself has released a short video of the test so you can see it for yourself. Continue reading...

How to make any iPhone 7 Jet Black, or Jet White for $20
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 28 views
Congratulations! If you’re reading this right now, you’re probably interested in transforming your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus into a Jet Black iPhone. Needless to say, that means you didn’t buy a Jet Black iPhone from Apple. Why is that a good thing? Because the finish on Apple’s Jet Black iPhones is prone to scratching like nothing else you’ve ever seen before. Within minutes of taking it out of the box, your phone will be scratched up. In fact, the simple act of putting a protective case on a Jet Black iPhone will scratch it. A far better option is to buy an iPhone in matte black, and then slap on a paper-thin Totallee Jet Black Scarf Case for the iPhone 7, or a Total…

If there's any Nintendo franchise that holds a candle to Super Mario, it's The Legend of Zelda. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Zelda will reportedly be joining Mario on mobile platforms in the near future. People familiar with Nintendo's plans tell the Wall Street Journal that Nintendo will follow up its Animal Crossing game -- set to hit smartphones later this year -- with a Zelda mobile game.

New variants of the NSA-derived cyberattack already spotted
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 24 views
The world is facing the most dangerous cyberattack it ever had to deal with so far, and it’s an attack that it can’t be stopped entirely for the time being. Created by the NSA and set up to take advantage of a Windows security issue, the WannaCry ransomware crippled businesses and state-run organizations around the world as the malware spread from computer to computer. A British security researcher was able to put a temporary stop to it, heavily decreasing its virality, but the WannaCry threat isn’t gone and will affect more Windows users on Monday as they return to work.

Introducing the most absurd virtual reality headset of them all

Virtual reality tech has endured some serious growing pains already, and still hasn't fully reached mainstream acceptance among consumers. Plenty of people still see VR headsets as too complicated, clunky, and simply not worth the investment or hassle. A new VR headset concept is making its big debut at the ACM CHI 2017 event and, well, it's probably not going to help matters. It's called FaceDisplay, and it might be the most ridiculous VR headset ever conceived. Continue reading...
