Skywatchers have been theorizing and dreaming about a mysterious unknown planet hanging out at the edge of our Solar System for many years. Sifting through an incredible amount of data, both professional scientists and amateur space sleuths have suggested that a planet is hiding somewhere past the recently demoted Pluto, and have repeatedly claimed that they have evidence that the reclusive world is out there. Now, after extensive study of four large bodies in the outer reaches of the Solar System seems to cast some serious doubt on Planet Nine's existence, and it's a huge blow to the effort of many astronomers in the ongoing search.

Apple recently unveiled its best iMac yet, the iMac Pro that we heard was coming but still weren't fully prepared for. The company only revealed some of the new iMac Pro's specs during the WWDC 2017 keynote — just enough to tempt Pro users looking for new iMac machines. But new discoveries reveal that Apple’s next all-in-one will be even more impressive than we thought. Continue reading...

Just over a month ago, a nasty piece of ransomware called "WannaCry" began infecting PCs all across the world at an alarming rate. Based off of a leaked NSA exploit, the malware worked by encrypting all of a user's files and offering up a decryption key only upon receipt of a $300 payment via Bitcoin. In the span of just a few days, WannaCry managed to infect nearly 300,000 machines, a tally which could have been much higher had it not been for a researcher who inadvertently activated WannaCry's kill-switch.

Gmail has always been a tradeoff: good free web email for everyone, but in return Google gets to (anonymously) scan your emails and use that data to target ads at you.

What do you do when you have too much money? Most of us never have to worry about such things, but oftentimes celebrities find themselves with piles of cash and nothing to spend it on. Sometimes they go on benders, or buy a private island, but in Gwyneth Paltrow's case, she started a "wellness" company that is now trying to help sell special stickers that it claims can cure you of anxiety, balance your body's "natural frequency," and even relieve pain. Now, NASA — you know, that little group that does actual science — is calling BS on the whole thing. Continue reading...

The new OnePlus flagship killer isn’t just an iPhone 7 Plus clone, but it’s also a benchmark cheater. That used to be a common practice in the Android world, and even the most prominent handset makers out there were caught doing it. But that doesn’t mean a young company such as OnePlus should behave similarly in 2017. In fact, it appears that even a top Android engineer at Google is not happy with OnePlus 5’s benchmark optimizations. Continue reading...

On a surface level, many of the iOS 11 announcements Apple made at WWDC this year were of little to no interest to mainstream consumers. The reality, though, is that Apple with iOS 11 introduced a number of new tools and frameworks that will help developers take the iOS user experience to new heights. The most obvious example of this is ARKit, a new framework that allows developers to create incredibly immersive and breathtaking augmented reality experiences. Just a few weeks removed from WWDC, developers have already released a number of quick and dirty ARKit demos which have us counting down the days until iOS 11 finally ships. Continue reading...

The OnePlus 5 is just days away from making its retail debut, but the highly anticipated smartphone is already looking like it might be a tough sell. It's not quite on par with the latest Samsung handsets, and it does a middling impression impression of an iPhone 7 Plus, all while being only marginally cheaper than either of its more capable competitors. Now, in a rather transparent effort to generate hype ahead of its retail debut on June 27th, OnePlus is sending push notification advertisements to owners of the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T, and they're not even remotely happy about it.

When a new gadget is in short supply there are only two possibilities for why that is the case: Either the company simply can't make enough to satisfy the consumer lust for the product, or the company is intentionally bottlenecking its shipments in order to artificially create a sense of demand. Plenty of companies have been accused of such things in the past, and while Nintendo is no stranger to being on the receiving end of those accusations — especially with the original Wii — the company is now swearing that the sold-out Switch console isn't a product of artificial demand.
