It's no secret that iPhone sales growth over the past few quarters has been somewhat tepid. In fact , 2016 marked the first year that Apple ever experienced a year over year decline in iPhone sales. And though the iPhone 7 has sold impressively well, even surprisingly so, it's been a while since we've seen a brand new iPhone model truly push the needle. Continue reading...

We're pretty familiar with our own Solar System, but the galaxy that we reside in is absolutely enormous. The Milky Way is thought to have somewhere between 100 billion and 400 billion stars, depending on which estimate you favor, and some of the most interesting ones are moving so fast that they stand out in a big way. But now, new research suggests that these incredibly fast-moving stars aren't actually from the Milky Way at all, but are actually invaders from a completely different system. Continue reading...

Nothing has been confirmed at this point, but we’re probably just a few months away from seeing Google take the wraps off its next-generation Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are shaping up to be killer upgrades for last year’s models, which means it’s almost time to dig deep into those wallets and get ready to upgrade. You’ll definitely want to make sure that your current Pixel or Pixel XL is in top-top shape so that you get as much money as possible when you sell it and upgrade, which means that a rugged case is advised. At the same time, you don’t want some giant bulky monstrosity in your pocket or purse. Check out the Spigen Rugged Armor Goog…

Movies like Jurassic Park paint the Tyrannosaurus Rex as a ferocious hunter capable to crushing bones (and Jeep Grand Cherokees), but more recent research suggests the king of the lizards was largely a scavenger. Now, new research into an ancient species of crocodile paints a picture of a creature that not only boasted teeth as large as a T-Rex, but had an attitude to match its intimidating appearance. It's called the Razanadrongobe sakalavae, or "Razana" for short, and it's not something you'd have wanted to encounter on the muddy shore of a Jurassic watering hole. Continue reading...

The latest Call of Duty installment brings back the action to World War II. And for a while, it was believed that WWII would hit a bunch of platforms, including Nintendo’s Switch. However, if you were excited about playing the shooter on Nintendo’s hit console, you better temper that enthusiasm. Sledgehammer Games offered a definitive “No” when asked whether the title is going to be available on the Switch. Continue reading...

As NASA and other space agencies from around the world set their sights on exoplanets and destinations within our Solar System that could host life, some astronomers are enjoying a very different sight: a galaxy slowly being starved to death. The Little Cub galaxy is dying, and scientists are excited about the opportunity to watch the system gradually succumb to the ravages of its nearest neighbor as it is stripped of the resources needed to grow.

It's not just you: spam calls to your cellphone are on the rise. The number of complaints to the FCC about unwanted calls has nearly tripled since 2010, to the point that around 2.4 billion robocalls are placed every month. The FCC is working on a framework to help curb the problem, but for now, phone providers are on the front line of the fight-back. AT&T and T-Mobile have already rolled out a feature to users that helps identify incoming spam calls, and now Verizon is following suit. Continue reading...

The threat of an asteroid striking Earth is pretty scary — and not just in all the ways Hollywood movies have depicted — but human technology has reached a point where it might actually be possible for us to prevent an asteroid impact if we see one headed our way. NASA has a concept for a tool that could do the trick. It's called the DART (short for Double Asteroid Redirection Test), and the agency is finally moving forward with its plan to design and hopefully build the hardware that it needs to save humanity's bacon.

I have an Apple Watch and I love it. But, if I’m being totally honest, I don’t really like the look of it. It’s definitely more attractive than any Android smartwatch I’ve seen out there, but it’s still clunky and dated. If you’ve been searching for a smartwatch that’s much more of a "watch" than it is "smart," you’ve got to check out the Nevo Smartwatch for Android/iOS. This gorgeous, minimalistic device is a real watch with an actual Swiss movement, but it also has smart features that include activity tracking, sleep tracking, and notification support for both Android and iOS devices. Some people with old Android phones have reported some connectivity issues, but as lon…
