http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/612b702daddbdd8d768651951d91e00e.jpg The holidays are fast approaching, which means you're probably about to score a whole bunch of awesome new battery-powered gadgets. It also means you're going to be buying a bunch of new battery-powered gadgets to give as gifts to friends and family.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/703ea25ff2e183012158b65955d993ae.jpgApple's solution to the new MacBook Pro's lack of conventional ports is dongles. A lot of dongles. $250 of dongles, actually. But if you're not a fan of carrying around a bunch of white pieces of floppy plastic, there are other options (apart from buying a different computer, I mean). The most visually appealing is the Arc Hub, a new concept that sticks all the ports you'll ever need into an elegant circular hub. Despite the fact that just looking at it makes Jony Ive's dulcet tones appear inside my head, it's not actually designed by Apple. Instead, it's been conceived by a tiny Californian s…

As one of the most anticipated Xbox One exclusives of 2014, Titanfall needed to be more than a Call of Duty clone — it had to forge its own identity and offer a compelling first-person shooter experience that looked like it belonged on a next-generation platform. Sadly, its lack of a single-player campaign and insufficient progression system doomed it before anyone really gave it a chance. But that…

When introducing the car a few months ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk proudly boasted that Tesla's new flagship vehicle was the "fastest production car in the world." And with good reason, Tesla's speed demon can go from 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds flat in Ludicrous Mode. Additionally, the Model S P100D can go from go from 0-100 in 6.5 seconds and can complete a quarter-mile in 10.7 seconds flat. (more…) Trending right now: …

SNL, after all, has been at the comedic forefront of this year's election campaign, even bringing in Donald Trump to host the show last November. In recent weeks, SNL has delivered an endless stream of hilarious political spoofs and memorable debate parodies. Specifically, Alec Baldwin's portrayal of Donald Trump and Kate McKinnon's imper…
