Crazy torture test video shows how durable the Galaxy S8 really is
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 25 views
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a pretty great looking smartphone, and with its curved glass and edge-to-edge display it might be hard for a new S8 owner to cover up its gorgeous body with a pesky plastic case. A new durability test, courtesy of the always popular YouTuber TechRax, suggests that even if you can't bring yourself to encase your new S8 or S8+, it can stand up to some pretty serious abuse just fine all on its own.

Samsung is already increasing Galaxy S8+ production
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 26 views
The Galaxy Note 7 ended up being a nightmare for Samsung last year when battery fires caused the company to recall and discontinue the device. But this year, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ have been nothing short of a dream so far for Samsung. Leaks and rumors stirred up tons of buzz ahead of the new flagship phones' unveiling last month, and early hands-on Galaxy S8 previews have been nothing short of glowing. Now, for a little extra icing on top of an already well-decorated cake, a new report suggests that demand for Samsung's higher-priced Galaxy S8+ is even better than expected, so Samsung is cranking up production to meet increased demand.

You can buy a Nintendo Switch online right now and it’ll ship tomorrow
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

We have some good news and some bad news this morning for anxious gamers. The bad news is it'll still be a long, long time before you can walk into any retailer or visit any online retailer and pick up a Nintendo Switch at its $300 MSRP. Nintendo has already increased production and it still can't keep up with the insane demand for its new video game console. Supply is expected to continue to be short for many months to come, which is why we always make sure to share when new ways to score a Switch console pop up. Speaking of new ways to score a Switch, there are now not one but TWO online retailers that are selling the Nintendo Switch and can ship out new orders as so…

Regulator sues Apple for millions over iPhone repair policies
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 25 views
Remember the "Error 53" message that appeared last year on iPhones that were serviced by third-party repair shops? It turns out that kind of practice isn’t legal in Australia, or so the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) says. The regulator is suing Apple, alleging that the iPhone maker broke local consumer laws by bricking devices that were not repaired in official Apple shops. Continue reading...

Watch dolphins learning how to eat octopus without killing themselves
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

As far as personality goes, bottlenose dolphins are one of the more charming species to inhabit our oceans. They're also extremely intelligent, brutal hunters that have no problem bloodying up their prey while capturing a tasty meal. In Australia, octopus is a dolphin delicacy, but it's also a very, very dangerous food source due to the cephalopod's ability fight even after it's been bitten and pulled limb-from-limb. Now, scientists have amassed enough video evidence of dolphins dealing with their crafty prey that they believe a very specific hunting technique is being passed down and shared within the dolphin community.

The Zcan Wireless Scanner Mouse certainly doesn't look like anything special, but looks can be deceiving. This thing is seriously cool. Most of the time, it's a normal wireless mouse that seems just like any other mouse. But the Zcan is hiding a built-in scanner that can read any document you place underneath it with a simple swipe. The accompanying software can also digitize text and even translate it on the fly. Seriously, this thing is a fantastic tool that's way more useful than you know.

Ever since Windows 10 launched in 2015, Microsoft has been responding to concerns about user privacy. Windows 10 users were concerned about data collection from day one, mostly because Microsoft refused to tell anyone exactly what data it was collecting. As the voices grew in number and volume, Microsoft finally began implementing some subtle fixes and changes, but the first major response came this week. Continue reading...

Samsung spent a whopping $10 billion on marketing in 2016

When people joke around about companies spending more on advertising than on developing products, there’s always a little grain of truth in it. Samsung, for example, spent over $10 billion last year alone in marketing its products. That’s a big chunk of change. Now, let’s be completely fair with that number.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft is about to attempt something truly insane
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 25 views
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has been hanging out in space for two decades, with well over a decade of that time spent exploring the space around Saturn, taking scientific readings, and teaching humanity more about the ringed planet than we had ever known before. Now, the aging spacecraft has nearly depleted the fuel reserves it uses for navigation and corrections, and so NASA is ending the mission the best way it knows how: By making the craft dive repeatedly through the space between Saturn and its own rings until the time comes to crash Cassini right into the planet itself. This is Cassini's Grand Finale, and it's going to be absolutely awesome. Continue reading... …

Spotify will change how it works to compete with Apple Music
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 21 views
Spotify is still sitting pretty atop the pile of music streaming services. Sure, Apple Music has had a not-terrible launch with millions of subscribers on board, but it's still a long way away from Spotify's 100 million subscribers. But the numbers get a little worse for Spotify when you start looking at paid subscribers. Spotify has a little over 40 million paid subscribers, meaning the majority of its customers are on the free tier. That's bad for Spotify's bottom line and its deals with music companies, and makes maintaining Spotify's extensive music library surprisingly difficult. Continue reading...

Second Arctic ‘doomsday’ vault will store the world’s data
by Guest FoxNews.com- 0 replies

Who says there’s no good news? It just so happens that if all of humanity is wiped out in a nuclear holocaust, the people of Earth will leave behind a record of their existence in two “doomsday vaults” on the frozen island of Svalbard, halfway between Norway and the North Pole. Svalbard’s first doomsday vault was built into the side of a mountain in 2008. Known as the Global Seed Vault, it stores duplicates of seed samples from across the globe. They’re essentially backups, stored at half a degree below zero Fahrenheit. If every kernel of corn in the world is wiped out by the unthinkable, there’s a backup in Svalbard waiting to be withdrawn.
