by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 23 views
Whether you're in the mood for fast-paced action or thoughtful, deliberate strategy, the Apple App Store has you covered this week with a killer selection of free games. I've always been a sucker for the Robot Unicorn Attack games, so a sequel is at the top of my list of things to download this weekend, but Super Senso -- a turn-based strategy game in the vein of Advance Wars -- is a close second.

Hacker releases all 10 episodes of ‘Orange Is the New Black’ season 5 online
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 25 views
While networks and content creators are used to dealing with episodes of TV shows appearing on Torrent sites immediately after hitting the airwaves, it's another matter altogether when episodes of a popular show surface online months before even airing. While such occurrences are rare, that's what just happened to the popular Netflix show Orange Is the New Black (OITNB). Less than 24 hours after a hacker named The Dark Overlord threatened to release all of the episodes from the upcoming season of Orange Is the New Black, our sister-site Variety reports that the stolen episodes have allegedly made their way onto the Pirate Bay. Incidentally, the hacker reportedly demand…

MIT invented a robot that can 3D-print an entire building
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 21 views
3D printing has slowly gone from a curious novelty to a totally viable option for creating all kinds of useful things, from chocolate to athletic shoes, and now MIT has invented a way to use the technology to print buildings, too. Given that most 3D printing takes place inside a sealed box, it might be a bit hard to imagine exactly how a structure could be built in such a way, but as you'll see it can most definitely be done.

Science. Amirite? Sometimes you need to clear your mind and relax, but the task is easier said than done. We’ve all got a lot on our minds, especially these days. Believe it or not, there’s actually a device out there that can help you relax by reading your mind. No, seriously.

Chrome adds support for a newer GIF-killing format
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 19 views
The internet would not be the same place without GIFs. The antiquated file format is central to our very important online meme culture, but the format itself is terrible. The images are huge, and restrictions on color, bitrate and frames per second all show that the GIF is about a decade past its sell-by date. Writing an actual format to replace the GIF isn't hard -- it's getting it to work universally that's the trick. Animated PNGs, or aPNGs, just took a big step towards universal acceptance with the latest release of Chrome. Continue reading...

NASA’s meteorite-resistant space fabric is like futuristic chainmail

NASA is usually so busy showing off all the awesome stuff it finds out in space that it's easy to lose track of the cool projects it's working on here on Earth, but the new "space fabric" designed by engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is just too cool to overlook. Like some kind of futuristic chainmail, it not only looks ridiculously awesome, it's also a potential solution for protecting space-faring astronauts from debris like meteorites. Continue reading...

by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies

If we go back in time a few years, you might be remember when every flagship phone had a mini counterpart. Most of these mini devices sucked, of course, and offered significantly downgraded specs in a smaller screen size with worse resolution. Almost none of them were worthwhile investments, and the trend slowly died on […] Come comment on this article: The LG G6 Mini may be on the horizon Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

The Galaxy S8’s been out for a week now, which means early buyers have had a chance to test the phone in the wild. As is the case with any new smartphone, various issues were reported so far, including the red display problem that Samsung already patched, Wi-Fi connectivity issues in Korea, and wireless charging problems. But there’s a new Galaxy S8 problem that might be more serious than any of these issues. Apparently, some Galaxy S8 units reboot for no apparent reason. Continue reading...

Samsung won’t stop saying weird things about the Galaxy S8’s design
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

A little over three weeks ago, Samsung felt it needed to explain the design of its gorgeous Galaxy S8 to everyone with yet another annoying design story. If you ask me, the Galaxy S8’s design doesn’t need any explanations, at least as long as they sound as bad as the design posts Samsung used to write when it had to defend its plastic phones. But Samsung did it anyway. For some reason, Samsung is now back with a second Galaxy S8 design story, and it’s just as equally disturbing as the first one. Continue reading...

If you know how ridiculous people can be when they’re rating things on Amazon, you know that this feat is nothing short of miraculous. Well, I won’t go as far as to call the TubShroom Revolutionary Tub Drain Protector a miracle, but I’m fairly certain that there’s nothing else out there as simple this little thing that will have such a profound impact on your bathroom.

Elon Musk just unveiled the first photo of Tesla’s upcoming semi-truck

Earlier today, Elon Musk delivered an engrossing TED Talk under the following umbrella theme: The Future You. While TED Talks have arguably reached a saturation point these days, any time Musk is given a platform to discuss his vision for the future, it's always worth paying attention to. While Musk's talk was predictably far-ranging, he did take some time to not only confirm the development of a Tesla semi-truck, but to also give us a teaser photo of what the company's all-electric semi-truck is going to look like. Before we get to the photo, it's worth noting that Musk earlier this month promised that the company was planning to hold an unveiling event this September…

Trump on his first 100 days in office: ‘I thought it would be easier’

As Trump's first one hundred days in office come to a close, Americans are reflecting on what the president and his administration have been able to accomplish since stepping into the White House. To call these first hundred days tumultuous would be an understatement, as Trump's attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare collapsed before it was even voted on and tensions with North Korea, Russia and even Canada have ratcheted up considerably. What does Trump think of all this? Continue reading...

Andmesh’s cool elastomer cases are finally available for the iPhone 7 Plus
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

We’ve covered Andmesh's elastomer iPhone cases a few times before here on the site. They’re like no other cases out there, both in terms of their design and the material they’re made from. Elastomer is a cool rubbery substance that’s harder than silicone but still flexible and grippy. The pattern is another unique aspect, with a cool design that spreads different sized holes across the back of the phone. It still covers your iPhone, but you can still see the Apple logo through the case. Andmesh makes its cases for a bunch of different iPhone models, but it hasn’t ever made one for the iPhone 7 Plus… until now. If you’re looking for a cool and original case that protect…
