It’s not too late to get an Echo Dot at its lowest price of 2017
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 18 views
Amazon’s Echo Dot is the cheapest way to put Alexa in any room of your house. Of course, putting Alexa in "any" room isn’t the same as putting Alexa in "every" room. Those Echo Dots add up quickly when you buy them in bulk, but a special Amazon sale will let you spread Dots around your home without breaking the bank. From now through the end of the month, you can use the promo code DOT3PACK to save $20 when you buy three Echo Dots in either black or white. That effectively drops the price to just over $43 a piece, which is Amazon’s lowest price of the year so far. Here are some key details from Amazon’s product page: Echo Dot (2nd Generation) is a hands-free, voice…

New report says the iPhone 8 isn’t delayed at all
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 21 views
The iPhone is one of the most desired smartphones out there, and this happens every year with every new model that Apple launches. But the iPhone 8 is probably the most anticipated iPhone release in years, given that Apple is rumored to prepare a massive design overhaul for the iPhone’s 10th birthday. Most rumors say Apple wants to offer buyers a premium iPhone 8 device that will pack a few features that were never before seen on an iPhone, with some of them representing massive breakthroughs for the mobile business. These innovations are widely expected to delay the launch of the phone, according to most recent reports. That’s why the following story is pretty puzzling. …

We were already suspecting that the OnePlus 5 will be launched at some point this summer, but a new report finally confirms it. The Chinese smartphone maker will indeed have a new OnePlus handset in stores in the coming months, and the name of the device is OnePlus 5. On top of that, the first blurry image showing the alleged new OnePlus handset has also leaked. Continue reading...

Sony’s Xperia X Ultra will offer an extreme 21:9 aspect ratio
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 18 views
With the G6 and Galaxy S8 this year, consumers were introduced to some very tall aspect ratios on mobile devices. The G6 uses an 18:9 aspect ratio, and the Galaxy S8 sports an 18:5.9, which are much taller than the usual 16:9 that most HD devices opt for. Not to be outdone, a new leak […] Come comment on this article: Sony’s Xperia X Ultra will offer an extreme 21:9 aspect ratio Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

In a move that will undoubtedly infuriate many, many people, Lenovo is planning to make some changes to the Moto Z2 Play that will hamper one of the best parts of the original: its fantastic battery life. Yep, someone at Lenovo thought that the Moto Z Play was a little too thick (it wasn’t) and […] Come comment on this article: Expect to see the Moto Z2 Play lose some weight (and battery life) Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Back in February, we learned from a security researcher that various iOS apps can secretly leak login data and other personal information to hackers that know how iOS works, and how to take advantage of various flaws. Three months later, it looks like many of these apps, including mobile banking applications, have not been fixed. Continue reading...

The tiny box that gives you free home phone service for life is Amazon’s deal of the day
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 22 views
Since pretty much everyone over the age of 12 has a smartphone these days, home phone service has become less and less important. In fact, many people only have home phone service because it gets them a discount on pay TV and internet. If you really think about it though, it is pretty nice to have an option with high-quality voice service that doesn't have any dead spots. VoIP over a broadband connection will always sound better than cellular voice, after all. Well, today is your lucky day because we're going to tell you how to get free home phone service for life so that you don't have to argue with your cable company every year when they try to hike the price of your…

Japan’s nuclear disaster gave everyone on Earth extra radiation
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

It's been over half a decade since Japan's Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant suffered a catastrophic meltdown due to the effects of a tsunami which struck the island nation, but scientists are only just now confirming its far-reaching effects. After conducting the first worldwide survey to measure the ultimate radiation exposure caused by the reactor meltdown, researchers at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research finally have a figure on exactly how much extra radiation humanity was exposed to.

Amazon just discounted the Echo for the first time in 2017
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 24 views
Earlier this week, we told you about a big sale Amazon is running on refurbished Echo speakers. $134.99 is a fantastic price for a certified refurbished (and warrantied) Amazon Echo, but some people prefer to stick to brand new devices. There's no problem with that, of course, and we have some great news for you. With Mother's Day right around the corner, Amazon just slashed the price of its brand new Amazon Echo speaker for the first time this year. From now through the end of the day on May 13, Amazon is chopping $30 off the price of a new Amazon Echo speaker in either black or white. That drops the price of the top-of-the-line Amazon Echo down to $149.99, which is j…

When Elon Musk introduced the Model 3 last year, the excitement was palpable; hardly a surprise given that Tesla enthusiasts had been waiting years to see what the company's more affordable version of the Model S was going to look like. And with a pricepoint of just $35,000, reservations for Tesla's mass market EV began skyrocketing almost immediately. Continue reading...

Report claims iPhone 8 will not feature a truly edge-to-edge display

I'm not sure what's going on with JPMorgan these days, but the financial services firm over the past few weeks has published a number of bizarre research reports concerning Apple's upcoming iPhone 8. Not too long after analyst Rod Hall issued an analyst note claiming that Apple will unveil the iPhone 8 at WWDC, the firm recently published a new research report alleging that everything we thought we knew about the iPhone 8's edge-to-edge display has been completely off base.

Another iPhone supplier hit by Apple’s supply changes
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 22 views
The iPhone 8 is good news for various component suppliers who live and die by Apple’s orders. The device is expected to pack a bunch of new features that require specialized hardware — that’s why the phone is rumored to see launch delays of up to two months. But it appears that Apple is also shopping for other suppliers when it comes to smartphone components we’re used to seeing in today’s phone. And that means one more Apple suppliers will feel the pain of losing iPhone orders. Continue reading...

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’: Explaining all 5 post-credits scenes

Every Marvel movie has one or two post-credits scenes to provide an epilogue to the movie you just watched and set up the next big Marvel adventure, but Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn had to one-up everyone with Vol. 2. Rather than the standard one or two scenes, Gunn included five post-credits scenes in his new movie, most of which are jokes, but one of which is vitally important. Continue reading...

Save a few bucks on our favorite convertible Chromebook in this Amazon sale
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 24 views
Google’s Chrome OS is absolutely obliterating Windows in the classroom right now, to the point where Microsoft had to build a new lightweight version of its Windows 10 operating system. This way, Windows computer makers can offer lower-cost laptops aimed at the education market. Google-powered Chromebooks still have the momentum though, and it remains to be seen whether or not Microsoft’s Windows 10 S will slow Chrome down. Of course, Chromebooks are great outside the classroom as well. Chrome is so much faster than Windows, and it’s perfect for emails, web browsing, video streaming, and plenty more. If you’re looking for a powerful Chromebook that’s still affordable c…

"Wait, there's a video game hall of fame?" you ask yourself while looking at the headline. There is! It was founded in 2015, so it's very new, but it most definitely exists, and it just announced its third class of inductees from a pool of 12 potential entrants. Four new members received approval for a place in the hall. The new members will join the likes of Grand Theft Auto III, World of Warcraft, and Tetris and live forever as universally beloved titles — which they already were, anyway. Continue reading...

French presidential frontrunner Emmanuel Macron has condemned a "massive hacking attack" on his election campaign, after a number of emails purporting to be from his campaign were leaked online late Friday afternoon. A 9GB trove of data was posted to Pastebin, an anonymous link-sharing website, by a user titling themselves "EMLEAKS." The files mostly appear to be archives of emails from the Macron campaign, including the candidate and advisers. Continue reading...
