35 years ago, the first piece of malware to ever spread out in the wild came into existence. Dubbed "Elk Cloner" and created by a 15-year old programmer named Rich Skrenta, Elk Cloner was a boot sector virus that targeted the Apple II and spread via floppy disk. Fueled by curiosity as opposed to malice, Skrenta designed Elk Cloner as a fun little prank and a way to immerse himself in the oh so fun world of assembly language. Continue reading...

Driving and playing Pokemon Go is a no-go, according to Niantic. The company will not let you collect any Pokemon rewards if the game detects that you’re moving faster than 30mph. The speed limit feature is meant to prevent accidents that might result from playing Pokemon Go while driving a car. But a Pokemon Go player found a way to circumvent Niantic’s safety measures. The trick will not let you drive your car and play the game, as it requires quite a bit of phone handling. But if you’re a passenger in a car, then playing Pokemon Go might just be one of the things you’ll be able to do to pass the time, at least until Niantic fixes this loophole. Continue reading... …

Filmmakers have long used focus groups and test audiences to determine how to best tweak their vision for maximum crowd appeal. It makes good business sense, and can increase the likelihood that you enjoy a film in the long run. Now, the science of getting moviegoers out of their homes and into theaters just got kicked into overdrive thanks to a new study that shows how neuroscience and brain scanning can actually forecast whether a movie will be a hit or a bust.

Apple's new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are the fastest and most powerful smartphones in the world. Despite the fact that they reuse the same design for the third consecutive year, they're also among the most sleek and stylish smartphones out there right now. Nothing is perfect though, and there are definitely some things about Apple's latest iPhones that people don't like. At the top of everyone's list, it would seem, is the lack of a standard headphone jack that prevents people from listening to music through wired headphones and charging the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus at the same time. Don't worry though, because the ATOOL Lightning to 3.5mm and Charger Adapter solves th…

We’re nearly there, Walking Dead fans... season 7 is almost over. Only two episodes remain of this year’s season, which definitely hasn’t always delivered what we expected. The second half of season 7 was much better than the first eight episodes, and I can’t help but wonder how AMC plans to end this Negan conflict. The trailer and preview video for episode 15 are finally available, but you should avoid them at all costs if you don’t want any spoilers. Continue reading...

Of all the rumored additions Apple is said to be bringing to the iPhone 8, few are as intriguing as augmented reality.

Nintendo explained soon after it launched the game why Android fans had to wait to play the Mario-based endless runner, revealing that it all has to do with preventing piracy.

Most of us grew up learning that there are nine planets in our solar system. Back in 2006 that all changed, when Pluto was demoted from being labeled a proper planet to its new classification as a dwarf planet, leaving just eight true planets in our celestial neighborhood. Now, a group of scientists says Pluto should definitely be added back to the planet list — oh, and that there are over 100 other objects in our solar system that should also be called planets.

Because the emulation community won't rest until the original Pokemon games have been ported to every electronic device on the planet, Pokemon Yellow is now playable on the Apple Watch. On Friday, iOS software developer Gabriel O’Flaherty-Chan released a Game Boy Color emulator for Apple's wearable device. O’Flaherty-Chan was initially underwhelmed with the amount of content available for the Apple Watch, so after making his own 3D game a few months ago, he began work on an emulator.

If Game of Thrones were a video game, I'm pretty sure that playing as the fire-breathing dragon characters would be considered poor form.
