The numerous and seemingly spontaneous Galaxy Note 7 fires and explosions late last year forced Samsung to do something that was once unthinkable: recall a major mobile product only a few months after its launch. Samsung is expected to announce what caused the overheating accidents that led to unexpected fires very soon, but it looks like some results have already been leaked. And they’re pretty conflicting. Some reports mention the phablet’s battery as the culprit, while other reports indicate that the phone’s design and software fail-safe mechanisms are to blame. Continue reading...

Google's Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones are currently the hottest handsets in the world for Android fans. The sleek, iPhone-esque glass and aluminum design is easily among the best you'll find in the market today, and the practically pure Android Nougat build running on the phone provides all of the speed and functionality Android users want. But as is the case with all smartphones, however, the Pixel and Pixel XL aren't perfect. There are a handful of aggravating problems that have been plaguing Pixel phone owners since the handsets debuted last year.

The HooToo Wireless Travel Router is a device so smart, it pays for itself in convenience the very first time you use it. This little gadget is a portable wireless router that’s smaller than your smartphone, creating a secure Wi-Fi network at the droop of a hat.

Whether you're a customer of AT&T, Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile, you can probably say that at some point you've wanted to drive your car through your respective wireless carrier's front door.

There’s no shame in wanting to save some cash when buying a new iPhone. After all, $649 for an iPhone 7 and $679 for an iPhone 7 Plus is already a very tall order. But now that you’ve spent some time with your new iPhone, you have a bit of buyer’s remorse. That’s right, even with twice as much space, the "not enough storage" error often rears its ugly head on Apple’s upgraded entry-level iPhones. It’s frustrating indeed, but there’s a device that can can help and it’s much cheaper than the $100 you would have spent for the next iPhone model up. Check out the SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive.

Every year, survey companies take ghoulish delight in quantifying the most-hated company in America. Every year, without fail, Time Warner breathes a sigh of relief as Comcast pips it to first place. Well, this is 2017, and things are going to be totally different. Pharmaceuticul company and producer of the weirdly-expensive EpiPen, Mylan, has rocketed to third place. Sears is on the list, as is Facebook. But you'll be glad to know that some things never change: death, taxes, and our national hatred of Comcast. Continue reading...

When Nintendo unveiled the Wii at E3 2005, I was skeptical. Beyond the name being bafflingly stupid, the gimmick of motion controls didn't appeal to me in the slightest. Needless to say, the world didn't share my skepticism, as Nintendo went on to sell over 100 million Wii consoles in 10 years. Cut to 2011. I'm sitting in the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, waiting to see Nintendo's long-awaited response to the PS3 and Xbox 360. As soon as that bulky touchscreen controller appears on stage, I feel a sense of dread wash over me. Without question, that unveiling was a low point in the history of Nintendo. Nearly six years later, I'm pleased to say that the Switch has a …

When Apple first introduced its AirPods earlier this fall, the wireless earbuds were predictably subjected to quite a bit of ridicule. And with good reason, some of the early AirPods photos looked absolutely absurd. What's more, many critics and even prospective buyers were reasonably concerned that free floating design of the AirPods would cause the earbuds to fall out with ease. Continue reading...

Whatsapp's messaging app supposedly ensures strong end-to-end encryption, with the idea being that only the people involved in a conversation will ever be able to read the messages.
