Self-driving car concepts are a dime a dozen these days, coming from every corner of the automotive industry and manufacturer. Volkswagen has shown off a couple of its own in the past, but at the Geneva Motor Show this week the company is giving us a glimpse at yet another, and it's a bit different than the rest. Rather than a traditional automobile that's been given a brain and autonomous driving powers, Volkswagen's SEDRIC is like something straight out of Minority Report. Continue reading...

The CAPTCHA system ranks somewhere between autoplaying video and mandatory email signups as one of the worst things on the internet. They've long been a necessary evil to protect internet infrastructure for bots, but Google might finally have found a solution. The reCAPTCHA system that Google runs will do away with any visual prompt that was previously necessary, instead relying on machine learning algorithms humming away in the background to spot bots. A bot-spotting bot, if you will. Continue reading...

You’ve probably heard that Google is planning on taking Hangouts into the business space away from consumers, but there are a ton of questions over whether or not Hangouts will still be available for you to use to chat with your buddies.

Apple's iOS platform has never been more capable and versatile as it is right now, but there are still some pretty big limitations in some areas. One of those areas, of course, is customization. Apple has a very specific vision of the mobile experience it wants to provide for its user base, and it has structured its mobile platform in such a way that users can't stray very far from that vision unless they choose to jailbreak their iPhones or iPads. For most people, that's fine, but some users want to stray from the pack a little bit and separate themselves from the crowd. For these users, there's a brand new series of special wallpapers that will let you do things to y…

Pull out your cable bill right now. On second thought, keep it in your filing drawer — we don’t want to ruin your day. If you were going to whip out your cable and internet bill though, you’d see all sorts of ridiculous fees that tack a ridiculous amount of money onto your already pricey monthly bill. What you might not know, however, is that you can completely eliminate the modem rental fee on that bill, which amounts to between $8 and $10 each month depending on your provider. Just pick up a NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.0 340Mbps Cable Modem, activate it using the instructions in the manual, and return your old modem to your cable internet provider — you’ll start saving up to $120 …

The Nintendo Switch is undeniably a flawed console, but that hasn't stopped it from flying off store shelves the world over. In fact, a recent report from Vandal reveals that the Switch had sold around 45,000 in Spain in its first three days of availability. That might not sound like much, but to put it into context, Vandal claims that Sony sold 8,000 fewer PlayStation 4 consoles in its first days on sale in Spain. Continue reading...

So far, 2017 has seen more changes to cellphone plans than the last five years before. In the space of a couple of weeks, all the big carriers suddenly started offering unlimited data plans for reasonable prices. AT&T even removed its ridiculous triple-play requirement for unlimited customers, which was generous. For T-Mobile, which started the unlimited data trend last year, it didn't seem like things could get much better. But the entry of Verizon and AT&T forced it to remove the last real restrictions on the data plan, meaning that you can use hotspot data or watch HD video. Continue reading...

Apple’s iPhone 8 will likely feature an edgeless OLED display, but reports suggesting that the display might incorporate a curved design might be off the mark.

If you try to turn your local roadways into a makeshift raceway you're obviously a huge moron, but beyond that you're also endangering the lives of others. If you want to drive your car off the side of a cliff that's totally your business, but don't try to bring anyone else down with you.

It's been a lackluster few years for Apple's Mac lineup. The iconic MacBook Air has been put out to pasture, the new MacBook Pro distinctly underwhelmed creative types, and I can't even remember the last time anyone said anything about the Mac Pro. In the meantime, Chromebooks are taking off, and even Microsoft has started to do interesting things again. But hardware aside, there's still something that Apple does far better than competition: customer service. According to Laptop Mag's Tech Support Showdown list, Apple headily beats the competition for the quickest and best customer service of any major manufacturer. Continue reading...

NASA finding something orbiting around the moon that was created by intelligent life should be a huge announcement that sends shockwaves through the scientific community, right? Well NASA did exactly that, only the object they found wasn't built by some ancient alien species or race of reclusive Moon men; it was built by the Indian space program, who completely lost contact with their Chandrayaan-1 probe over seven years ago and had no way of locating exactly where it ended up. Needless to say, it makes the discovery slightly less Earth-shattering, but it's still pretty cool. Continue reading... Trending right now: Verizon is stealing Sprint’s customers with its…
