Where to buy the fidget spinners everyone is going crazy over
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 19 views
There’s no two ways about it, people are absolutely obsessed with fidget spinners right now. Why? Good question, and the answer is pretty simple: because. These little toys are intended to help children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, or autism, but they quickly swept the nation and became an obsession for kids of all shapes and sizes. They’re tiny little gadgets with ball bearings that you can spin between your fingers or on a table, and now kids have figured out how to do all kinds of tricks with them, too. Here’s a video of a bunch of popular fidget spinner tricks in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VDw9fXkwfQ If you’re on the look…

Switch owners are having problems with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s most important feature
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 20 views
Despite the fact that the only way to buy a Nintendo Switch right now is to pay a premium for a console on Amazon, millions of people have managed to score themselves a Switch over the past couple of months. Nintendo's new hybrid gaming device is clearly a hit with eager gamers, but people started to get a bit antsy following the console's release. Why? Because for a period of time The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was the only top-tier game available for the Nintendo Switch. Of course, all that changed last week when Nintendo finally released its hotly anticipated title, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. There is absolutely no question that gamers love playing Mario Kart on …

YouTube’s multi-million dollar plan to become more like Netflix sounds like a longshot
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 20 views
With 29 new originals set to debut this month alone, there's not one company that can even come close to keeping up with Netflix. Still, with original content seemingly the next battleground -- and perhaps the most efficient way to draw in loyal users -- it's no surprise that we're seeing more traditional tech companies slowly but surely dip their toes into original programming waters. To that end, a new report from Bloomberg relays that YouTube is planning to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on original content over the next few months. YouTube's media play is said to include original TV programming and movies as well; but what makes YouTube's concerted foray int…

The Galaxy Note 7 is about to be released for the third time
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 19 views
After the initial launch of the Galaxy Note 7 went up in flames, Samsung recalled all the phones, "fixed" them, and put the Note 7 back on sale. When the fixed version exploded on a plane, Samsung gave up, recalled all the phones worldwide, and tried to forget about the whole affair. But back in March, Samsung took everyone by surprise by saying that there's going to be a third attempt. We don't have all the details on the new Note 7 quite yet, but a set of documents released by the FCC prove that it's very much a real thing. Continue reading...

Lenovo could be letting go of the DROID brand in 2017. After it purchased Motorola in 2014, Lenovo was put in a tricky position. The DROID brand, which essentially gave Android the strength it needed in 2009 to rise to the top, was dormant. The company could’ve continued utilizing Google’s straightforward Moto brand, create a […] Come comment on this article: Next Moto phones for Verizon may be DROID-free, according to Evan Blass Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

NASA’s Saturn spacecraft just delivered photos so stunning you’ll think they’re fake
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

NASA's Cassini spacecraft continues to delivery some truly jaw-dropping photographs from Saturn, and its most recent "Grand Finale" dive between the planet's rings has produced some of its most striking eye candy yet. But what's most interesting about the newest crop of photos isn't necessarily the images of Saturn and its rings — those are also really, really cool — it's the snapshots that Cassini's lens managed to capture of the planet's moons Rhea and Titan.

Fix the worst thing about Nintendo’s Switch design with a simple $17 device
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

If you haven’t managed to find yourself a Nintendo Switch yet, definitely keep your eye on this page on Amazon’s site. You can actually order one right now if you don’t mind paying a premium, or you can wait until Amazon restocks them at the $299.99 MSRP. If you do already have a Nintendo Switch, then you’re undoubtedly impressed with how fun it is to play. Beyond that, the hardware itself is impressive as well. It’s the perfect size, and all of the components feel nice and sturdy. Well, almost all of the components. The kickstand is a crucial piece of the Switch gaming experience, but it feels like it’s going to snap off every time you open it. It’s the only real comp…

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ review: Take it to the limit one more time
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 19 views
Somehow, despite featuring some of the most outlandish characters and unbelievable scenarios in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies tell the most human stories. Back in 2013, we saw Peter Quill get abducted from Earth, leaving behind his family and the only life he'd ever known. After years of hardship, he stumbled into a new family -- one that would help him save the galaxy. Years later, the ragtag crew is still together, taking on jobs and making a great many individuals very angry, but they face their greatest test yet when Peter (Chris Pratt) is unexpectedly reunited with his father, Ego (Kurt Russell). Will Quill stay loyal to his new…

These new iPhone 8 renders are awful, but they still bring good news

We see new iPhone 8 leaks and rumors on an almost daily basis, which is crazy considering it’s only early May. There are still more than four months to go until Apple unveils this thing, and then we may end up waiting up to two extra months to actually use it. But not all leaks are the same. Some deliver potential bad news, while others bring us the kind of good news we want to see. Continue reading...

If you’re like the average smartphone buyer, the camera on that shiny new device is probably one of the biggest deciding factors on what you go with. There’s nothing wrong with that, either; manufacturers spend more marketing time with the camera than most other pieces of the smartphone, and for good reason.

It’s 2017, and no, BlackBerry’s not dead yet. Weird, right?

TYLT is known for its stylish-yet-functional products, and the Flipstick is no different. It’s a portable charger that’s, you guessed it, shaped like a stick. And the “flip” part of my name comes from it’s two integrated cables that are reversible. Because the battery is only 3350mAh, this is a one-and-done portable charger.

This is how much an iPhone 7 costs in different countries across the globe
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 18 views
Apple's growing cash hoard -- which now checks in at more than $256 billion -- is largely attributable to the iPhone. Sure, Apple was raking in the cash during the iPod era, but the advent of the iPhone quickly transformed Apple into one of the most successful and profitable companies on the planet. Suffice it to say, if you're intent on picking up a brand new iPhone model, you're going to have to pay a pretty penny for it. Interestingly enough, the cost at which you can pick up an iPhone can sometimes vary wildly from country to country. Highlighting this, Deutsche Bank earlier today released a list which maps out how much a brand new iPhone 7 will set you back across…

Humanity needs to abandon Earth way sooner than you think, according to Stephen Hawking
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 19 views
While much of humanity concerns itself with saving the planet from the ravages mankind has inflicted upon it, one of the world's brightest minds is already warning that we should actually be spending our time planning our ultimate escape. Stephen Hawking — the cosmologist, author, and physicist who holds more awards and honorary titles than should even be allowed — says that we have about 100 years until Earth is a big old pile of gross, and that if we don't focus our efforts on colonizing other planets, namely Mars, humanity faces complete and total extinction.

One of the best-rated pairs of wireless headphones on Amazon are on sale right now
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

How many times have you come across a product on Amazon that doesn’t have a single 1-star rating? Can you think of even a single time? Even the best products out there always seem to attract 1-star ratings from at least a few crazies. You know, the people who get angry because they didn’t know a device needed batteries so they jump on Amazon and give something a terrible review. The Ghostek EarShot Bluetooth Headphones would be impressive enough due to the fact that they have no 1-star reviews, but they also don’t have any 2-star or 3-star reviews. That’s right, they only have 4-star and 5-star reviews, for an overall rating of 4.7 stars with more than 130 reviews. And…
