Trying to buy China’s extra-powerful Galaxy S8 will make you broke
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 21 views
The Galaxy S8 is the talk of the town right now, and you can already preorder it from a variety of retailers and carriers. It doesn’t matter whether you choose the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+, as you’ll get exactly the same set of specs. However, we learned last week that the best Galaxy S8 or S8+ version isn’t even going to be available in the US, or any other international market. Only China-bound Galaxy S8 models will have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. If you hated that news, then you should know it gets even worse. Continue reading...

Apple is working on a new Mac Pro, but you won’t see it this year
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 26 views
While mobile and wearable devices have taken center stage at Apple in recent years, computers have been put on the back burner. In that time, Mac users have become increasingly impatient with the company, which is why Apple decided to break with years of tradition and invite a group of writers to an office building on its campus to explain what it had in store for the Mac in the coming months and years.

Trump just destroyed internet privacy
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 24 views
Congress a few days ago voted to pass a repeal of Obama’s broadband privacy rules that prevented internet service providers from selling your personal data without obtaining consent first. The White House then confirmed that President Trump will sign the bill, without specifying when that will happen. It turns out that Trump inked the new law on Monday, making the whole thing official. Even if many of them say they will not sell your internet browsing history and other personal data, ISPs can now do so under the new rules. Continue reading...

‘The Walking Dead’ season 7 got the finale fans deserved
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 24 views
Season 7 of Walking Dead is finally over. And I say finally because season 7 was a hard one to watch, especially the first half of the season. Episode 16, or the grand finale fans were expecting, aired on AMC on Sunday night, and it probably was one of the best episodes of the entire season. If you haven’t seen it yet, I can tell you there aren’t any annoying cliffhangers in this one, without spoiling it for you. But beware, spoilers do follow below. Continue reading...

AOL and Yahoo are merging into ‘Oath,’ one giant ball of sadness
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

AOL and Yahoo, two failed internet companies that now mostly serve to leak your data, are hurtling towards a merger. Verizon already owns AOL, and provided its long-running acquisition of Yahoo's core businesses goes through, it will be the dubiously proud owner of that company as well. We already knew that Verizon planned on merging AOL and Yahoo into one company, but now Business Insider has learned what it's going to be called. For once, we're desperately praying that the leaks are fake news. Continue reading...

Statistically speaking, you probably live in a state where weed has been legalized in some form. But as John Oliver explains in his most recent late-night rant, just because your democratically elected representatives passed legislation legalizing something where you live, doesn't mean it's actually legal.
