When Elon Musk unveiled the Model 3 nearly a year ago, he made a point of noting that the final design was still a work in progress.

We've got a good idea about what the iPhone 8 is going to look like on the outside. It might only be February, but we've already got leaks, renders and concepts strongly hinting that it's going to have an all-glass front display with no buttons and very little bezel. It all sounds lovely, but it's what's lying underneath the hood that could make the biggest difference. Apple has long relied on graphics architecture from UK-based firm Imagination Technologies. So, when I.T. announced a brand-new chip tech aimed at improving graphical performance in smartphones, it's safe to assume that the innovations are going to show up in the next iPhone.

Since mesh Wi-Fi systems are the hottest trend in home networking right now, BGR recently tested every single top mesh solution out there.

The Orbi solution is a bit pricey though, but right now there's a rare sale on Amazon that slashes $50 off the Orbi Home WiFi System, so take advantage of it while you can. Oh, and did we mention that Orbi lets you control your home network with voice commands thanks…

NASA scientists researching Mars with their fancy robots always snag the sexy headlines, but here on Earth some diligent researchers have been conducting experiments that are just as important (if not more so) to humanity's eventual visit to the red planet.

For the last few months, South Australia has been hit by rolling blackouts due to electricity spikes from heatwaves. The supply in the nation is heavy on renewables, which means that balancing peak demand (especially when it's not windy!) can be difficult.

Elon Musk has said that Tesla can provide enough battery storage to solve the peak power problems, and the batteries can be deployed within 100 days. He's not messing around either, as the batteries come with a unique guarantee. Continue reading... Trending right now: These elastomer iP…

The best part, of course, is that the game is absolutely free. Continue reading...
