Unlike the PS4, Xbox One and even the Wii U, the Switch uses cartridges instead of discs. This came as something of a surprise when it was revealed, but as we learned more about the console itself, it started to make more sense. After all, the Switch is a portable console as much as it is a home console, and no one wants to walk around with a binder full of Blu-rays when they take their Switch with them on a trip. In theory, along with being more portable-friendly, the cartridges would also decrease load times for games, but as Digital Foundry discovered this week, digital Switch games actually appear to be faster.

Cord cutting is easy if you live in a major metropolitan area. Why? Well, set-top boxes like the Roku series and the Amazon Fire TV let you stream TV shows and movies on demand from anywhere in the world, but like network TV is a different story entirely. You could cough up $35 or more each month to stream live TV from a range of new services, but why pay over $400 per year when you can get over the air network TV in full HD 1080p resolution for free? The problem for some people is that they live too far from broadcast towers, so the common indoor 25- and 50-mile antenna just wont cut it.

Next time you’re going to rate a movie or TV series on Netflix, you won’t be able to give it a number of stars you think it deserves.

In the smartphone market, Samsung found success not by differentiating and carving its own path, but by taking a page out of Apple's playbook. Or should we say, 132 pages. Apple turned the cell phone industry on its head in 2007 when it released the original iPhone. There was certainly no better company to model its devices and strategy after, and Samsung's sales skyrocketed once it began retooling its devices to look and function more like Apple's smartphones and tablets. Samsung still takes pages out of the Apple playbook from time to time — case in point — but it has truly elevated its game in recent years, with several recent generations of flagship phones that con…
