You can buy four pairs of these cord-free earbuds for the price of Apple’s AirPods
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

There’s no question that Apple’s AirPods are awesome. People love them so much that it’s been four months since they were released and they’re still impossible to find in stores (yup, paying a premium on Amazon is still your only option). As great as they are, however, they’re also pretty expensive at $159. Now there’s a great pair of truly wireless earbuds that cost much less than that. In fact, you can buy four pairs of GRDE True Wireless Stereo Bluetooth Earbuds for the price of one pair of Apple AirPods. They also isolate noise and stay in your ears perfectly thanks to rubber tips, which certainly can’t be said about AirPods. Here are some highlights from the produ…

World’s top Apple insider says Galaxy S8 is great news for the iPhone 8
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 19 views
Typically, when a company is on the verge of releasing a new product that is shaping up to be a smash hit, it's bad news for the company's rivals. The logic there seems fairly obvious. LG, for example, is in a world of hurt because its sleek new G6 flagship phone is about to be completely eclipsed by Samsung's new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. Interestingly, however, the world's top insider issued a new report on Wednesday morning that suggests the opposite will be true for Apple. While he does believe Samsung's new Galaxy S8 and S8+ will be wildly popular following their release in just two days, he thinks that Samsung's imminent success is actually great news for Apple and …

Galaxy Note 8 tipped to swipe the iPhone 7 Plus’s top feature
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 19 views
The Galaxy S8 was supposed to be Samsung’s first flagship to sport a dual lens camera like the iPhone 7 Plus, at least, according to a few reports from earlier this year. But Samsung ditched those plans because it had to reposition the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. Now, a report from a source with a terrific track record indicates that the Galaxy Note 8 will get a dual lens camera that's currently missing from Samsung's new S8 and S8+. Continue reading...

by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

The Nest Learning Thermostat was the first device to put the "smart" in "smart thermostat." And after all this time, it’s still the smartest thermostat out there. Sure, some other companies have managed to come out with some very solid alternatives, but Nest still learns faster and makes better adjustments than anything else on the market. You’ll save more money, and you’ll definitely appreciate Nest’s app, which is still the best in the business. Don’t want to worry about yet another app to control your thermostat? No worries, Nest also works with Amazon Alexa and Apple’s HomeKit/Siri. Right now, through the end of the day on Earth Day on Saturday, Amazon is shaving $…

Ever since the Switch launched last month, Nintendo fans have been anxiously awaiting the next blockbuster release. Unfortunately, ARMS and Splatoon 2 won't launch until this summer and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe won't be ready until the end of the month, but on Tuesday, an intriguing multiplatform retro remake made its way on to the Switch eShop. It might not have been on your radar, but the rave reviews it's been receiving may convince you to give it a closer look. Continue reading...

Brazen smartphone thief caught with 130 devices thanks to ‘Find My iPhone’

Some people are born with very specific natural skills. Some are creative and excel in art while others are gifted athletes and dominate in sports. Ronaldo De Jesus Henao has a much more specific talent: He's apparently very, very good at stealing smartphones. The thief was recently apprehended after finally being tracked down while in possession of a whopping 130 stolen smartphones, and it was all thanks to Apple's built-in phone locator software, Find My iPhone.

This hot new iPhone battery case is unlike anything else you’ve seen
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 19 views
If you use an iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, or an iPhone 6, you know that a battery case is an absolute must-have accessory. You also know what the worst thing about iPhone battery cases is: they connect through the Lightning port, so you can’t plug anything else in while your iPhone is in its battery case. Well, there’s a new case out there that just launched from well-known smartphone accessory maker Anker, and it offers a very smart new take on battery cases. What makes it so different? It’s actually more than a battery backpack than a battery case. The Anker PowerCore Case’s design leaves the entire bottom of the iPhone open so that you can plug in any accessories or headph…

Earlier today, NASA and the United Launch Alliance combined to show the first-ever rocket launch in 360-degree virtual reality. It was meant to be a statement of the progress of mankind: not only are we sending this thing into space because we can, but we're going to get people to strap smartphones to their face and watch it, because we live in the future now.

If you've been waiting until the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to pick up a Nintendo Switch, you might want to take a look at the new bundle that GameStop put up for preorder on its website this week. As with all of GameStop's bundles, this one is a bit pricey, but it could serve as a great starter pack for anyone who wants a Switch, a sizable SD memory card and two of the system's best games to date.

iPhone 8 hype is getting out of hand
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 19 views
Look, the iPhone 8 is probably going to be a really great smartphone. Recent advances in technology are making no-bezel smartphones with zero physical buttons a reality; add that to steady increases in power, battery life and camera tech, and it's safe to say that the iPhone 8 (or whatever it ends up being called) will be the most pleasurable six-inch device that anyone's ever fondled. But the hype train is getting a little silly. It's only Tuesday, but we've already had two analyst notes come out that project Apple shares going to stratospheric new highs, based mostly off an assumption that the iPhone 8 will be the second coming of Steve Jobs.

Samsung really, really wants you to use Bixby on the Galaxy S8
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 21 views
One of the most talked about new features of Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ is a new virtual assistant that can be used to perform any task on the phone that you’d usually do via touch. However, most Bixby functionality won’t be available at launch in the US, which means the dedicated Bixby button will not be very useful at all, at least initially. Those of you who think they can simply reassign the button to something else — say, launch Google Assistant — should know that Samsung is officially blocking that capability. Continue reading...

Remember that Facebook paid $2B for Oculus while you watch its new ‘Spaces’ VR app in action

Virtual reality might not be catching on as fast as some early adopters would have liked, but it's certainly not dying any time soon. Oculus, once the household name in the VR space, was sold to Facebook for $2 billion a few years back, and today the social network finally revealed what everyone knew would happen sooner or later: a virtual reality Facebook app. It's called Facebook Spaces, and it might be the Oculus Rift's last, best chance at reestablishing itself as the leader in VR.

Big Amazon sale drops 10 different Galaxy S8 and S8+ cases to $4
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

The reviews are in, and it's now official: the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are the hottest smartphones money can buy. They're fast, they're beautiful, and they feature displays that are better than anything else you'll see from any other smartphone company, including Apple. Of course, that beautiful design also has a downside. Since the front and back of the Galaxy S8 are made of glass, the changes of smashing your phone from an accidental drop are sky-high. Protect your investment with one of the cases included in Amazon's big sale on Ringke cases. The coupon codes you'll see listed below drop the price of each case to just $4, which is an incredible value that leaves yo…
