We already knew that President Trump favors an old (and unsecure) Android phone for his tweeting, most likely an old Samsung Galaxy S3 or S4 device. We also knew that he's not an Apple fan, as he's previously called for a boycott on Apple products, and he obviously dislikes any American firm producing overseas. Continue reading...

It’s Groundhog Day today, folks, which means two things. First of all, according to some groundhogs, there will be six more weeks of winter so forget about an early spring for the time being.

There are a few things that set Google's Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones apart from the rest of the Android flagship phones out there. For one, they run a near-pure version of Android. For another, they get Google's new Android updates the instant they're made available instead of months later. But the design of these hot phones also sets them apart, featuring a smooth aluminum body and a signature glass panel on the back.

Earth-ending apocalypse movies always start with sky-gazers spotting an astroid that nobody knew about until it was too late. If the speedy space rock called 2017 BS32 was just 100,000 miles closer to our planet than it is, we'd have been in for an interesting afternoon, but thankfully the bus-sized body will just cruise by our planet instead of causing us any headache. What's potentially worrisome, however, is that scientists only just spotted the rock, and it's now the fourth asteroid to come within sniffing distance of our planet so far this year.

And in light of all the shots T-Mobile constantly fires at its rivals, AT&T used the opportunity to take some not-so-subtle jabs at the Uncarrier. Continue reading...

The iPhone 8 is expected to be Apple’s first iPhone that will support wireless charging. In fact, one exciting series of reports indicates the iPhone 8 will offer the kind of long-range wireless charging that hasn’t been seen in any smartphone to date. On the other hand, a fresh in-depth analysis of available wireless charging technologies has concluded that it’s not likely for Apple’s new iPhone to support long-range wireless charging technology. As a result, many believe that the iPhone will include the same run-of-the-mill wireless charging technology found in countless other smartphones. But now a new report now indicates that Energous has developed a component tha…

It's long been known that spending an extended period of time in space can have detrimental effects to the human body. Changes like muscle degradation can be offset by exercise regimens, but new research suggests that microgravity can affect the human brain in ways that science is still struggling to grasp. A research team led by Rachael Seidler, a professor at the University of Michigan, took MRI scans of over twenty astronauts before and after spaceflights of various lengths, and some of the changes observed are shocking.

Donald Trump's ascension to the Oval Office has taught us many things, not the least of which is that anyone can truly become President.
