Cold, dark, distant Pluto is home to giant ice ridges, and now scientists are closer to understanding how they formed— and they think it was through a process that creates similar, smaller formations on Earth. The erosion-formed features on Pluto are called penitentes, and rise over 1,600 feet tall-- that's higher than the Empire State Building-- and stand about two to three miles apart. The professor behind the study used a computer model to predict how these dramatic features form. Continue reading...

Bluetooth trackers like Tile are nothing new, but where most such products beep, blink, or nudge you in the right direction, the freshly launched Pixie tag/app combo turns the whole affair into something of a scavenger hunt. The app works with multiple Pixie tags, and the more you have around your house the better the app gets at telling you where things are. Continue reading...

One of the most intriguing mysteries surrounding the upcoming launch of the Nintendo Switch in March has been the status of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Originally set to launch exclusively on the Wii U in 2015, the game was delayed twice from 2015 to 2016, at which point Nintendo changed course and revealed the game would launch simultaneously on the Wii U and the Switch in 2017.

Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman is finally in the making, and we knew as much back in October 2015 when Robert De Niro confirmed the project. Before you get too excited, you should know the movie, which tells the story of the mob hitman that supposedly killed Jimmy Hoffa, isn’t due until next year. But a new report reveals that the production crew is looking to make De Niro, Al Pacino, and others, look young again without using prosthetics. Instead, new special effects technology will be used, the kind we saw in Rogue One most recently. Continue reading...

Carrie Fisher's death at the end of 2016 was tragic and unexpected. In the years since her star turn as Princess Leia in Star Wars, she had become an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness, a script doctor for some of the biggest movies in Hollywood and a beloved character who never stopped finding ways to surprise us and make us laugh. Everyone is still trying to come to terms with this unexpected loss, but with Leia expected to play a major role in both Episode VIII and Episode IX, Disney is faced with some tough decisions regarding the character.

Good luck playing some of the hottest PC games out there if your main computer happens to be an aging laptop. In fact, if you’re a MacBook kind of person, then even the latest 2016 MacBook Pro will not support the kind of hardcore games you may be need to game on the go.

Smartphone designs are stale — there, I said it. Xiaomi's ridiculously large and absolutely gorgeous Mi Mix was one of the few phones of 2016 to generate any kind of excitement on the design front, and it did it by making the screen as big as possible and the bezel as tiny as possible. It's undeniably a sign of things to come, and Samsung and Apple are both rumored to be working on bezel-less designs of their own. Unfortunately, Xiaomi has showed up at CES with a new version of the Mi Mix that, well, kinda sucks. Continue reading...

We have no way of knowing for sure, but Hyundai may have made one of the coolest electric scooters in town.

Android users love their expandable storage, and microSD cards keep getting cheaper while offering more and more storage. However, not all microSD cards offer similar performance, and some of them may not be recommended for your Android smartphone and tablet. That’s why the SD Association announced a new microSD card certification process a few weeks ago, meant to help buyers select proper cards for their Android devices. Now, at CES 2017, SanDisk has unveiled the largest microSD card to receive A1-certification for Android devices. Continue reading...

Following the long-awaited announcement of a release date for Mass Effect: Andromeda at CES 2017 this week, EA is giving away copies of Mass Effect 2 for free on its Origin digital platform for a limited time. EA has been giving games away as part of its On the House program since 2014, occasionally offering the promotion for as short as a single day or for months on end, seemingly at random. Dungeon Keeper had been the free game of choice since October 6th, but Mass Effect 2 took its place on January 5th. Continue reading...

It’s been a few months already since Samsung was forced to announce the first Galaxy Note 7 recall, an unprecedented move from the company. But Samsung has not shared any details as to why the phone exploded even after “safe” replacement units were given to buyers in exchange for faulty fire-prone models. Samsung said a few months ago that a report on the matter will be available by the end of 2016. That deadline moved to the end of January recently. But, at CES 2017, Samsung said it’ll finally explain what happened “very soon.” Continue reading...

Do we really need phones that have as much RAM as our computers? Apparently, we do, according to Android device makers. Asus is the first company in the world to announce a phone that’ll pack 8GB of RAM out of the box. As we saw last year, a phone sporting 6GB of RAM wasn’t necessarily faster than an iPhone that only had 2GB of RAM onboard. However, this year, the extra RAM might be needed to handle some very specific features that 2017 Android phones are supposed to support: Project Tango augmented reality cameras and Daydream virtual reality features.

If you have a streaming media device like a Roku box or a Fire TV in your home, you know how incredible these devices are. They give you access to a virtually unlimited amount of content, which you can stream on demand anytime you want.

The Fosmon Portable Lightweight Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Controller with Built-In Touchpad is just the device you've been looking for. It works with just about any Bluetooth enabled streaming media device — or any video game console, Android device, iPhone or iPad — and it's on sale for less th…

Several years ago, we made a bold prediction. We said that in several developed regions around the world, children born in the coming years would never drive a car in their lives. Think about how incredible that is. Think about the role personal automobiles have played in our lives over the past century. Cars will continue to be the primary mode of transportation for most people in developed countries like the United States, but humans won't drive them. They probably won't even have steering wheels. Instead, sci-fi visions of the future from movies like Minority Report will actually be realized, and we'll be able to concentrate on other tasks while our cars autonomously d…
