Verizon wins vicious bidding war for major 5G spectrum company
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 22 views
Verizon announced today that it is acquiring Straight Path Communications, a major holder of 5G spectrum licenses, for $3.1 billion. That's a little unexpected, because AT&T announced last month that it was acquiring Straight Path for $1.25 billion. Either 5G spectrum became a lot more valuable in the last 30 days, or AT&T and Verizon just played each other. Continue reading...

LG G6 gets official HDR support in the Netflix app
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies

The LG G6 has a phenomenal HDR-capable screen, but much like the Galaxy Tab S3, that screen doesn’t do much if you can’t find any HDR content to actually watch on it. Fortunately, Netflix is working on fixing that.

by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

Samsung played it very safe with the Galaxy S8’s battery, not that it had any other choice after what happened with the Galaxy Note 7. That means the Galaxy S8’s battery life might not satisfy the needs of hardcore users. The phone does come with support for fast charging, and there are a bunch of things you can do to improve battery life. But if that’s not enough, then Samsung has a solution for you.

Add a microSD card slot to any iPhone for $15
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 18 views
There’s a whole lot to love about Apple’s iPhones, but they’re far from perfect. Battery life is a big issue for the company’s 4.7-inch iPhone models, for example. An even bigger gripe shared by just about every iPhone user out there pertains to storage. Apple finally doubled the amount of available storage on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus last year, but models with a decent amount of storage space are still very expensive. Everyone would love it if Apple would just add microSD card support to its iPhones, but that would put far too big a dent in the company’s margins so it’ll never happen. If you’re looking for something of a workaround, check out the Lexar microSD T…

Flying to the United States is about to become a lot more boring, if not downright aggravating. According to a new report from The Daily Beast, the Department of Homeland Security tomorrow will issue revamped travel guidelines that will prevent any passengers flying into the U.S. from Europe from travelling with laptops. The move comes just a few short weeks after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) banned travelers from eight Middle Eastern countries from bringing laptops and tablets on board of U.S.-bound flights.
