For Nintendo fans, the release of the hot new Nintendo Switch video game console was years in the making. The Nintendo Wii was nothing short of a phenomenon, introducing all sorts of new demographics to gaming. Nintendo tried to recapture the magic when it released the Wii U back in 2012, but the console was a complete failure due to a lack of imagination and an even worse lack of games. While the Nintendo Switch does suffer from the same problem with games for the time being, it most certainly does not lack imagination or potential. Early reviews have been outstanding, and gamers who have managed to get their hands on a Switch already seem to love it. But since the co…

Every so often, a film comes along that waylays its genre's boundaries and becomes something else entirely. Logan is that film -- a thought-provoking character drama disguised as a superhero movie.

T-Mobile recently launched a new rewards program, T-Mobile Tuesdays. The idea is to get some kind of gift or freebie every week, normally free movie tickets, a free coffee or free pizza.

It was a busy week in the mobile universe this week, as we put one more MWC edition beyond us. We also had the Oscars, complete with a monumental blunder we’ll joke about for years. On top of that, we saw a significant number of new trailers. So go get yourself some popcorn, as we have plenty of trailers to talk about.

Samsung has announced that they’ll be opening an office to handle global product quality improvements, which is basically a failsafe to prevent another Galaxy Note 7 fiasco.

It seems that trying to phase out the Motorola name and replacing it with “Moto by Lenovo” hasn’t gone well, as Lenovo is now working to bring back the Motorola name again.

DNA makes us what we are, and it holds a ton of information about each and every one of us. Scientists have been slowly making progress on getting it to hold other kinds of information, too, and some brand new research shows just how powerful DNA storage can be. A scientist duo from Columbia University, working with the New York Genome Center, have managed to pack a whole bunch of data onto DNA molecules and then reliably retrieve it in perfect condition.

One of the new smartphone trends this year is going to be bigger screens. Well, that was true for previous years as well, but this time around handset makers are selling handsets that feature larger screens but smaller overall footprints. LG, a company that’s been heading in that direction for a few years, was the first to introduce a brand new device that features a large display in a rather compact body. Unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Spain, the LG G6 features a “FullVision” screen that also introduces a new 18:9 screen ratio. But LG will not be the only company pursuing all-screen designs this year. The Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8 coming later this year are also ex…

Shopping for a printer can be extremely difficult, even for seasoned tech veterans like us. That's why we spent more than a month researching and testing a wide range of different printers before landing on the perfect model. It wasn't easy, but we couldn't be happier with the printer we landed on: the HP Envy 5540 Wireless All-in-One Photo Printer. This printer/copier/scanner has all of the features you could want in a home printer, including mobile printing capability so you can print directly from your iPhone or Android phone. It also allows you to send a file to a special email address and it'll print remotely, or you can use Google's cloud printing solution to print …

Nintendo released the Switch portable/console hybrid today, and it's sold out at pretty much every retailer you can imagine. That's great, and I look forward to seeing how well it is supported (or not) for the months and years ahead, but there's no denying that Nintendo's old systems are really the cream of the crop. The Super Nintendo was never meant to be a portable, but one intrepid modder has done the seemingly impossible and turned his console — which is, for the record, a Super Famicom — into a portable system which should elicit equal amounts of joy and horror.

Amazon's hugely popular Alexa virtual assistant is already everywhere, and given her similarities to Apple's Siri and Google Assistant, it was only a matter of time before she ended up connecting our phone calls, too.

Gmail has always been an interesting game as far as attachment sizes go. Google is adding a little relief to that today, now letting users receive emails of up to 50MB.

Even though we spent the last year running around the world's largest mobile phone tradeshow, we still don't actually know when you'll be able to hold a Galaxy S8 in your cold, sweaty hands. We know that the launch event is going to be in March, but assuming that Samsung doesn't give the entire world apology Galaxy S8s then and there to make up for the Note 7, we're going to be waiting a little longer to get the actual phones. A new report from The Investor cites industry sources as saying that the pre-orders will open on April 10th, just two weeks after the official announcement date. Pre-orders tend to precede the official retail availability by a week or two, so we …
