If there's any modern television series that deserves a proper open-world RPG video game adaptation, it's Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin has spent the past two decades fleshing out the fictional world that he established in A Game of Thrones, and thanks to the HBO series, we've had a chance to see what that world would look like when translated to the screen. The inevitable next step would be to give us a chance to freely explore that world on our own in a massive video game. Continue reading...

Ever since Amazon launched the first Echo, people have been looking at Sonos -- the biggest name in smart home speakers -- and assuming that a competitor is coming. Well, the wait seems to finally be over. An FCC filing has been unveiled that shows a "S13" Sonos product with "integrated voice control functionality," according to Dave Zatz. The filing follows previous indications that Sonos is working on smart speaker functionality, including a public statement from its CEO that he wants his products to work with "all the services that matter."

We've covered a lot of truly wireless earbuds here on BGR, which makes sense since they've exploded in popularity now that Apple has a pair. Of course, Apple's cord-free AirPods are still very difficult to find in stores or even online, and they're also pretty pricey at $159. The most popular alternatives we've covered are the Smartomi Q5 True Wireless Earbuds, which offer impressive sound quality and a good design for a fraction of what Apple charges. They typically sell for $40, and our readers snag hundreds of pairs each time we cover sales that drop them to $30. Right now, while supplies last, the promo code 3TOJDKAW will get you a pair for just $21.19. That's an all-…

Hurricane Harvey struck Texas this past weekend, making landfall early Saturday and leaving a path of utter devastation in its wake. For those of us unable to witness the storm's impact firsthand, it can be difficult to fully understand how widespread and overwhelming the disaster truly is.

T-Mobile has made a big deal these past few years of being the "Un-Carrier." Led by outspoken CEO John Legere, it simplified plans, removed extra taxes and overage fees, and shifted away from the old buy-a-subsidized-device-on-two-year-contract plan. Underlying all of the efforts was the need to change how customers perceive their carriers. Telecoms companies, including wireless, are generally hated by customers, and T-Mobile figured that if it could change that, a lot of other things would fall into place. Continue reading...

Apple, why do you hate me? Instead of adding a microSD card slot to your iPhones, you force me to spend an extra $200 so that my handset doesn’t run out of memory every time I try to record a new video. I’m glad you’re the most profitable consumer electronics company. I really am. But I worked hard for my money and I’ve already given you enough of it. Next time around, I’m buying an entry-level iPhone and I’ll pick up a Lexar microSD To Lightning Reader along with it. That way I can dump all my photos and videos onto a microSD card anytime I want, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.

Google Glass may have been a resounding flop, but some analysts believe that Apple may be able to succeed where Google did not. As a quick refresher, rumor has it that Apple is interested in developing a pair of smart glasses with a strong focus on augmented reality features.
