President Donald Trump this past Friday signed off on an Executive Order which restricts refugees from 7 predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States for a period of 90 days. In turn, Trump's new immigration initiative has been widely criticized from all angles and has sparked sharp criticism and waves of protests across the country. Continue reading...

It's not every day that scientists are able to create an entirely new substance, but Harvard researchers managed to do just that, and in the process created what could be a world-changing material with a bunch of different applications. It's called atomic metallic hydrogen, and it's exactly what it sounds like: hydrogen in the form of metal. If that sounds weird, it probably should, because it's literally never existed on the planet before now. Continue reading...

A new year means a new you, and that means you’ve likely resolved to treat your body right by exercising more and getting a good night’s sleep every day.

Flappy Bird was one of the simplest (and dumbest!) games to ever make the top of the app store. It was basically exactly the same as all the horizontal scrolling obstacle games that came before; it just happened to be unnecessarily hard.

Apple has traditionally dominated the market for premium priced PCs, but it appears that pricier Windows are finally starting to make inroads into a market Apple is used to ruling alone. During Microsoft's earnings conference call yesterday, CFO Amy Hood relayed that the company saw the cumulative sale of Windows licenses increase by 5% in the consumer market. All the more intriguing, though, is that Hood partially attributed this growth to a growing number of premium-priced PCs, a category that Microsoft defines as PCs that cost $900 or more.

During the run-up to the 2016 Presidential election, Donald Trump was extraordinarily coy about releasing his tax returns. While boasting that he had nothing to hide, Trump delicately danced around the issue by claiming that he couldn't release his tax returns as he was undergoing an audit. Later on, he said he would gladly release his tax returns if Hillary Clinton released her deleted emails. Continue reading...

USB-C will be the universal standard before long, and for good reason. It's extremely versatile and can provide ample power to boot, but that also means the number of crappy bargain bin USB-C accessories is going to absolutely explode in the very near future. Bad things happen when you rely on a cheaply made cord or dongle, which is why no OEM endorses using unofficial accessories, but if you just can't resist the temptation of those no-name USB-C cords or external battery packs, Satechi just launched a tiny add-on that you should probably consider.

After a full week in office, Donald Trump gives off the impression that he’s looking to keep some of his campaign promises — he also gives off the impression that he’s going to lie to the American people and the world whenever he wants. Trump got a lot done this week, including signing plenty of executive orders, some scarier than others. Does that mean that everything he said he was going to do will get done? Yes and no. And Trever Noah has a hilarious take on the whole thing, explaining exactly what it all means. Continue reading...
