Earlier this week we told you about India's mission to deploy an absurd number of satellites from a single launch vehicle. Thankfully, the mission went off without a hitch, and the record-breaking payload was successfully placed in orbit by the Indian Space Research Organization, ISRO. But the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle that carried over 100 of the devices into space wasn't just carrying expensive gadgets, it was also equipped with a camera to document the deployment, and ISRO just published that video for us all to enjoy.

Samsung chief Jay Y. Lee spent a night in jail waiting for a court to decide whether he should be arrested, as requested by a special prosecutor investigating the massive corruption scandal in South Korea that involves the country’s president.

Donald Trump the citizen, Donald Trump the outlandish candidate, Donald Trump the Republican nominee, and POTUS Donald Trump all have one thing in common. They’ll all lie to your face in blatant disregard of the facts. It’s especially disturbing to see President Trump unleash a flurry of “alternative facts” on a regular basis because that’s precisely the kind of behavior that doesn’t inspire trust. President Trump continued to throw falsehoods at the press during his press conference on Thursday — or his attack on the dishonest media. And this clip will show you how one reporter caught Trump’s lie and how the Commander-in-Chief defended himself for lying to your face on T…

Two major changes were made to T-Mobile One earlier this week. Following Verizon’s unlimited plan returning after a five-year hiatus, T-Mobile decided to tweak its only offering to match the competition. Both were offering unlimited data, but originally T-Mobile was lowering video streaming quality while Verizon wasn’t doing anything. So now customers on the magenta-colored […] Come comment on this article: Those HD day passes from T-Mobile are going away on the tweaked One plan Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

One of the companies who hasn’t immersed itself in mobile-based virtual reality is HTC.

Samsung disappointed fans with the fire-prone Galaxy Note 7, but the company did recall and terminate the product rather swiftly. It also conducted an extensive investigation and announced its conclusions while simultaneously vowing not to let it happen again. While Samsung does deserve some points for that, it’s probably too early for the company to pat itself on the back for the good job it’s doing at testing smartphones and making sure they work as intended, rather than exploding when you least expect it.

Disney keeps information close to the chest when it comes to Star Wars movies, but every once in a while, an interesting tidbit makes its way out into the world.

GoPro has tons of competition these days, but no other company has managed to match the company's quality, form factor and feature set in one single device.

Apple and its sad, low-energy, economically sensible overseas manufacturing have been a target of Trump since day one. Trump seems keen on bullying Tim Cook to open a factory in the USA without actually detailing specifics, and while Apple has stayed out of the fray so far, new comments from Apple CFO Luca Maestri indicate that Apple won't be shutting up shop in China any time soon.

The iPhone 7 is an awesome smartphone, provided you aren't a fan of listening to music and charging the phone at the same time. Thanks to it only having the one Lightning port, charging and listening are two activities that don't go together. Apple's solution is a shrug and a pair of $200 wireless headphones, or some kind of god-awful dongle. So, Pioneer made a pair of headphones that build the dongle right in. Continue reading...

With the world falling apart all around us, it's important to occasionally distract yourself from the chaos with lighthearted entertainment. That's what millions of Americans have already done with The LEGO Batman Movie, as evidenced by its massive success at the box office over the weekend, topping the likes of Fifty Shades Darker, John Wick: Chapter Two and M. Night Shyamalan's Split. While the success of The LEGO Batman Movie is unsurprising (The LEGO Movie was a huge hit too), what is surprising is that Apple and Warner Bros. have teamed up to bring a LEGO Batman easter egg to Siri.

It wasn't that long ago that finding exoplanets — that is, worlds that exist outside of our own solar system — was a rare occurrence. Those days are gone, however, and we now know that there are actually plenty of stars that host one or more planets. With that increased awareness, researchers have been making huge leaps in exoplanet discovery, and a group of astronomers from around the world just announced that they've detected not one, not two, but 60 new planets orbiting nearby stars. One of those planets is of particular interest, as it's a lot like Earth, only hotter. Continue reading... Trending right now: The biggest caveats in Verizon’s new ‘unlimited’ pl…

A new report from Bloomberg sheds some interesting light on the hazy underpinnings of Apple's acquisition strategy. Famously, Apple's tends to shy away from large corporate acquisitions, with the company's $3 billion purchase of Beats a few years ago standing as a lone exception. That notwithstanding, the report relays that Apple's own arrogance and "take it or leave it" attitude might be precluding it from successfully inking similar large-scale acquisitions.
