It's no secret that the last few months have been bad for Uber. The company has been hit by scandal after scandal, the founder, CEO and half of the management team is out, and it's locked in a massive legal fight with Google.

Announced in early 2007 and launched exactly 10 years ago today, the original iPhone was perhaps Apple’s biggest gamble. Steve Jobs and Co. took a massive risk by launching a smartphone unlike anything available on the market, but it all paid off.

Some have looked surprisingly legitimate while others have been blatant fakes, but something interesting has happened over the past several weeks -- a unified vision of the iPhone 8 has begun to take shape. Unsurprisingly, not all of the leaks line up with one another, but enough do that we've been able to form a relatively complete picture in our heads of what the flagship device will look like. This week, Steve Hemmerstoffer teamed up with Tiger Mobiles to bring that vision to life. Continue reading... Trending right now: Video: Porsche tries to keep up with a Model S and the re…

It has been nearly a year since Samsung first took the wraps off the Galaxy Note 7, and its successor is almost here. We've seen the leaked specs and BGR …
