There's mounting evidence that Apple's next-gen Apple TV will finally address a few of the longstanding concerns some have had regarding the company's venerable set-top box. While the current incarnation of the Apple TV certainly gets the job done, there's no getting around the fact that it costs markedly more than competing products.

Welcome to the new normal. On Tuesday morning, Verizon announced that it would be splitting its unlimited data plan into three new plans with some unfortunate caveats. Go Unlimited is the first plan, starting at $75 for a single line, but subscribers could experience reduced speeds any time the network is congested. Up next is the Beyond Unlimited plan, which starts at $85 and only reduces data speeds after the customer has exceeded 22GB. There's also a new Business Unlimited plan that will allow employers to buy unlimited data for as many employees as they want. But those aren't the reasons everyone is talking about Verizon this morning. Continue reading... Tren…

Well, here’s another option: the inCharge Ultra Portable Charging Keychain is a Lightning cable that is so small you won’t even remember you’re carrying it until you need it. The cable itself is only about three inches long, and it features an awesome magnetic design that folds in half and can be held on a key chain when it’s not being used. At $13, there’…

The greatest concern for most of us when it comes to visiting an ATM is remembering out PIN and making sure a skimmer isn't stealing our info, but they do things a little differently in Arkansas.

As a prime example, Tesla in 2015 rolled out a software update overnight that instantly gave thousands of Tesla vehicles a brand new Autopilot feature. Continue reading...
