Netflix cut its teeth by delivering third-party content to the masses in a more convenient way than any other service around. Today, however, first-party content is quickly becoming the key to the company's continued success. Netflix is dumping billions of dollars into original content and it's paying off. Big time. As it happens, September is set to be one of the biggest months ever for Netflix original series, specials and movies in terms of volume. 30 different comedy specials, movies, and full seasons of Netflix original shows will premiere next month, and there are some hotly anticipated titles set to debut. In this post, you'll find the complete list of all 30 Netfl…

When we tell you that you're crazy if you pass up today's Amazon sale on the Dyson V6 Animal Cordless Vacuum we mean it very sincerely. This is hands down the best cordless vacuum that has ever been made, pound for pound. It retails for $500, and it's worth every penny. Amazon typically sells it in the $380 range new, and that price is a steal. Today, however, for one day only, the company is selling certified (and warrantied) refurbished units for under $215. Pure insanity! Here are some highlights from the product page: 75% more brush bar power than the V6 cord-free vacuum. Tools included: mini motorized tool, mini soft dusting brush, docking station, combination…

Like the rest of the world, we adore fantastic space photos. High-powered telescopes and exploratory spacecraft have delivered some truly jaw-dropping glimpses at what lies beyond the reaches of our pathetic human vision, and celestial eye candy is always a treat.

Samsung has officially taken the wraps off its worst-kept secret, the Galaxy Note 8. It's a fantastic phone in its own right, and should be a much-needed return to business as usual for Samsung. But for anyone committed to staying on T-Mobile for the forseeable future, buying Samsung's newest phablet would be a massive mistake. You see, T-Mobile said last week that two devices compatible with its new 600MHz network would be launched by the end of the year -- one from Samsung and one from LG. With our best guessing hats on, we predicted that would be the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and LG V30. But sadly, we were wrong. Continue reading... Trending right now: Oreo ha…

About two months ago, a speculative report surfaced indicating that Samsung was busy working on a Bixby-powered smart speaker designed to compete with the likes of Amazon's Echo and Google Home. Hardly a surprise, the smart speaker market has become a much more alluring space for tech companies in recent years, largely due to the success Amazon has enjoyed with the Echo over the past years. Indeed, Apple is also getting into the mix with its forthcoming Siri-based HomePod speaker which, if all goes according to plan, will hit store shelves later this year. Continue reading...
