The LAPD just got the world’s first hybrid cop car, and it’s fast
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 19 views
As gas-only vehicles gradually give up some of their kingdom to electric and hybrid cars, it's only a matter of time before service vehicles get in on the action, too. We've already seen green alternatives to gas-guzzling semi trucks and cargo vans, but police pursuit vehicles are a specialized case that just hasn't been able to go hybrid — that is, until now. And who better to help the LAPD go green than the company responsible for some of the most popular police cars of all time, Ford. Continue reading...

The internet is viciously trolling United Airlines, and it’s a sight to behold
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

After placing priority on its own employees over paying customers led to a 69-year-old man being bloodied and dragged from a plane earlier today, United Airlines is taking it on the chin on social media. The company's tone-deaf response only made things worse, and now it seems the company is in for a long, turbulent ride, with customers demanding answers and lots of would-be fliers pledging to never "Fly the Friendly Skies" again.

With Tesla slated to begin mass production on the Model 3 in just about three months, the company is starting to openly test its mass market EV out on the open road. As a result, Model 3 sightings on various roads and highways in California are becoming a lot more commonplace. So while the first video footage of a release candidate version of the Model 3 was short and blurry, more recent photos and videos have managed to provide us with a crisper look at what is arguably the most anticipated car release of 2017.

Apple tumbles down laptop brand survey after tepid reaction to new MacBooks
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies

After taking first place every year since 2010 in Laptop Mag's survey of the best and worst laptop brands, Apple has dropped to fifth place in the 2017 edition of the survey. Participants voted on six criteria for each brand, and while Apple scored well on reviews, design and support, it took a beating in value and selection. Apple has always sold its laptops at a premium, but in 2017, consumers don't think they're worth it. Continue reading...

Scientists are going to drill deeper into the Earth than ever before
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 21 views
It might come as a bit of a surprise, considering we walk around on it all day long, but science hasn't really ever seen fit to find out what's inside of our planet. Thanks to volcanic eruptions we know it's a molten mix of various elements, with the pressure of gravity having turned it into an extremely hot liquid stew, but what exactly it is made of has remained a mystery simply because nobody has ever had the right combination of funding and technology to actually drill deep enough to make a solid conclusion. By 2030, Japan wants to be the first to do it, by digging deeper into Earth than anyone ever has before. Continue reading... Trending right now: Galaxy …

Strong Galaxy S8 sales show no one cares about the Note 7
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 24 views
In November last year, things looked bleak for Samsung. It was forced to recall the Galaxy Note 7 for a second time, after already recalling and "fixing" the Galaxy Note 7 once. As the old saying goes in technology: sell a burning phone once, shame on you; sell a burning phone twice, fire your entire QA department. So it's an understatement to say that the Galaxy S8 launch is big for Samsung. Financially, there's a lot riding on it, but more than that, there's its reputation as the best Android phone manufacturer. Continue reading...

Nintendo finally explains why it’s charging for the Nintendo Switch’s online service
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 21 views
Want to challenge your friends to an online multiplayer battle on PS4 or Xbox One? You'll have to pay. On earlier Nintendo consoles, however, the Japanese gaming company has always made its online services available for free. It was a great perk for gamers, but Nintendo announced back in January when the Switch was unveiled that the free ride was coming to an end. If Nintendo Switch users want to play against their friends online once the new service launches this fall, they'll have to pay to play. The change is disappointing, sure, but it's tough to fault Nintendo when charging for online services is clearly the industry standard. Did Nintendo change its mind and deci…
