The next version of Android is official, and it’ll be released later this year. Google announced Android O and its features moments ago. Among the most important consumer-facing features are background limits, notification channels, picture-in-picture support, and adaptive icons.

With the iPhone 7 helping Apple's stock soar to record highs, and the iPhone 8 on the horizon, the iPhone's younger cousin always gets forgotten. But thanks to a minor update by Apple today, the iPhone SE is more attractive than ever. As part of a raft of minor updates to its product line, Apple has bumped the base internal storage of the iPhone SE to 32GB without touching the price. That means for $399 regularly (or a little less when you can find it on sale), you can have all the guts of an iPhone 6S in a more pocket-friendly package with great battery life. As someone who switched from a 6S to an SE this time last year, I can tell you that it's basically perfect. …

Building on the existing Star Wars universe is a compelling, if risky, proposition for Disney. On one hand, fans are interested to see what happening in the years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, and between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. On the other, Disney has to introduce characters and events that don't invalidate the stories that fans are already familiar with from the main saga. Continue reading...

Twitter is doing its best to attract as many users as it possibly can, but not everyone who signs up for an account is welcome on the platform. In its latest transparency report, which covers activity on Twitter between July and December of last year, the social network revealed its latest tally of banned accounts has risen dramatically. The company's statistics show that it had to ban over 375,000 accounts for spouting hateful rhetoric in the last half of 2016 alone, bringing the total number of accounts banned for such behavior to over 630,000.

Everything in your home that connects to the internet — and we mean EVERYTHING — is vulnerable to attack. Sure you have antivirus software on your PCs, but what about your smartphones and tablets? What about your TVs? What about your Amazon Echo, your home security cameras and your baby monitors? Most people don’t even realize how vulnerable all of these devices can be, and to be honest, you shouldn’t have to worry about hackers breaking into your network and using your Nest Cam to spy on you and record you. That’s where CUJO comes in. This little gadget might look even more adorable than Wall-E, but it means business. CUJO takes just a few minutes to set up and once i…

A few months ago, a Twitter troll allegedly sent a seizure-inducing image to a journalist, thinking that an anonymous prepaid SIM card and a throwaway Twitter account would be enough to protect his privacy and help him escape any potential ramifications. It turns out the attacker was also an iPhone user, a significant detail that helped police track him down and arrest him. It all happened with the support of Twitter, AT&T, and Apple.

Although the Nintendo Switch launch lineup ended up being slightly more compelling than we expected, interest has begun to wane somewhat as Switch owners wait patiently for something more substantial than a port of a NEOGEO classic or an indie game that has been available on other consoles for years. Unfortunately, Splatoon 2 won't arrive until this summer and we're going to have to wait until the holidays for Super Mario Odyssey. Save for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the only true exclusive to tide us over in the meantime is Arms -- a fighting game that takes advantage of the Switch's unique Joy-Con controllers. Continue reading...

In a move that isn't entirely unexpected but is still somewhat shocking considering that the company is typically a creature of habit, Apple on Tuesday morning added new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models to its smartphone lineup.

Apple warned on its system status website that the store would be taken offline beginning around midnight EDT on Tuesday morning, though the reason for the outage was unclear. Rumors suggested that several new iPad models might be announced on Tuesday morning, and that indeed turned out to be the case. Apple's new 9.7-inch iPad wasn't the only new product unveiled …

The iPad isn’t as hot as it used to be, but Apple is far from being ready to throw in the towel. Tim Cook is still a very big fan of the iPad and tablets are still money makers for Apple. After weeks of speculation, Apple on Tuesday unveiled several new products, but the list included just one new iPad model, not four as previous rumors alleged. But the brand new iPad comes in a form factor that many have grown to love: It's the same 9.7-inch device as the old iPad Air 2, but it's priced lower than it has ever been before.
