NES Classic Edition? Pfffff... who needs an NES Classic when the Hyperkin RetroN 1 HD Gaming Console for NES is back in stock on Amazon? This $48 retro console is designed to look very similar to the NES Classic Edition that everyone went crazy over last year, but it's better for two main reasons. First, you can get one for $48 instead of the $250 you'll need to cough up to get an NES Classic on Amazon. Second, instead of shipping with just a handful of preinstalled games, the RetroN 1 HD takes Nintendo's original NES cartridges, so it can play every NES game ever made! Here are some more highlights from the product page: HD audio and video (720p), 16:9/4:3 aspect …

The Galaxy Note 8 and the iPhone 8 have been dominating headlines for months, but the floodgates finally opened for Google's Pixel 2 over the past week. It started last Friday when VentureBeat shared a blurry image of the Pixel 2, which looked eerily like the first Pixel. The design of the phone hadn't been updated nearly as much as we'd been led to believe, especially when it came to the thick bezels. Of course, as solid of a track record as VentureBeat has had with phone leaks lately, we couldn't be 100% sure that this was the final design of the phone. But then on Monday, GSMArena received a couple of live photos from a tipster that back up the leak and confirm the …

There have been several rumors about T-Mobile launching a slew of carrier-exclusive, branded devices on their network, including a brand new T-Mobile Alchemy.

Things are escalating quickly in the Game of Thrones universe, making this season one of the most exciting ones of the series so far. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s a short season, which means the showrunners didn’t have time for any fluff. Or maybe it’s because we have so many plot threads that need resolution that we’re galloping faster and faster towards the end with each episode. The first trailer for episode 5 is already here, but if you haven’t seen last night’s Game of Thrones installment, you should stay away. Yes, some huge spoilers follow. Continue reading...

How many people really put any thought into it when they buy a new power strip?

The price of the Google Pixel is at an all-time low over on the Google Store. Google finally created a high-end, no-compromise phone in 2016.

That, however, […] Come comment on this article: [Deal] Google takes up to $200 off the Pixel, throws in a Daydream View for free Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

The number of ways in which the smartphone has made our lives easier is vast. Whether it's using Shazam to identify a song on the radio or having a sophisticated camera at the ready 24/7, the smartphone era ushered in by the iPhone has fundamentally changed the way the world uses and interacts not only with technology, but also with each other. While there are no shortage of examples which illustrate how the smartphone has improved our lives, a more interesting and novel thought experiment would have us explore some of the more detrimental side effects associated with our collective addiction to smartphones and society's unending need to constantly stay connected.

While most iPhone rumors we come across these days focus on the upcoming iPhone 8, it's easy to forget that Apple's 2017 smartphone lineup will also consist of a brand new iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. And while we already have a good grasp on what the iPhone 8 will bring to the table, it remains to be seen how many of the iPhone 8's premiere features will find their way into Apple's iPhone 7s models. In recent weeks, we've seen conflicting reports regarding whether or not the iPhone 7s will incorporate an OLED display and wireless charging, two of the iPhone 8's more notable new features.

A long-awaited meeting took place in Game of Thrones last weekend, and it totally lived up to the hype. In fact, last week's episode might have been one of the best in series history, but with just 10 episodes to go until the show is over, I have a feeling that Game of Thrones is going to continue topping itself every week until the grand finale.

Google doesn’t care about industry trends. One of its upcoming phones, the smaller Pixel 2, won’t have key features that are common in 2017 flagships. Instead it’ll have some things you see in the modern flagship and some things from the past. There isn’t a real focus on design here, that’s for sure.

In this day and age, it seems crazy that anyone would be willing to drive around without a dash cam. Think about it — if you get into an accident and it’s not your fault but you have no way to prove it, it can cost you thousands in increased insurance premiums for the next five years. Meanwhile, a simple little device like the Anker Roav Dash Cam C1 can be installed in minutes in any car, and it will capture any incidents in full 1080p resolution so you can easily prove that you weren’t at fault. The C1 just so happens to be the best-selling dash cam on Amazon right now, and it’s on sale for under $100. Here’s what you need to know from the product page: CRYSTAL-CL…

This Thursday, I had a chance to sit down with Bungie community manager David Dague, better known as "DeeJ" to the Destiny community, to talk about one of the most anticipated games of the fall: Destiny 2. With just a month left until the game launches on consoles, the team is as busy as ever -- tweaking the game based on feedback from the beta, working to get the PC version of the game out by October and preparing to show the game off at both Gamescom and PAX West. Thankfully, DeeJ still had enough time to sit down with me for a brief discussion after I got my hands on the PC version of Destiny 2 (which looks pretty stellar and plays great with a keyboard and mouse). …

It’s completely your prerogative to sext with a special someone while you’re sitting between two strangers on a plane. After all, it's your phone, and you can do whatever you want on it. But that doesn’t mean others can’t look at that screen, especially considering that iPhones have pretty big displays, and they’re only getting bigger. But Apple is working on new technology that will make it nearly impossible for those around you to snoop on what you’re doing, whether it’s sharing certain pics via texts or working on an important presentation.

Tesla, while a very nice and valuable company, is no Apple. Actually, Apple's spare cash pile alone is big enough to buy Tesla several times over. But Elon Musk isn't the kind of person to get wowed by bigger companies, and in a recent interview, Elon Musk made a big claim about how Telsa's retail stores stack up to Apple. According to Electrek, Musk said during an interview "I think our sales per square foot are so high, you need a telescope to see who’s in second place. It’s like stupidly high." Tesla's VP of Global Sales added that "Our sales per square foot are so high, it actually moves the industry average.” Continue reading... Trending right now: This …
