Apple just took the wraps off fresh new MacBook Pro 2017 computers during its big WWDC keynote, and Apple fans are already drooling. They're faster, they're more powerful, and they're more energy-efficient than ever before. Apple's slim and sleek new MacBook Pro models are fantastic for people on the go, but when you're back in your office or at home it's always nice to have a bigger screen. Lucky for you, the AOC i2777fq 27-Inch Bezel-less LED Monitor is on sale for $50 off right now on Amazon, and it's the perfect companion for Apple's new MacBook Pro 20017 models — or for any other PC on the planet, really.

It's already been an impressively busy WWDC, with Apple introducing new iterations of watchOS, iOS and macOS. Not only that, but we also saw the introduction of revamped MacBooks, a brand new iMac Pro, and of course a sleek 10.5-inch iPad model. As is typically the case, though, Apple saved its biggest announcement for last. As previously rumored, Apple just a few moments ago -- after a somewhat lengthy iPad demo period -- introduced a brand new Siri-based speaker that will perhaps give devices like Google Home a run for their money.

Leaks were uncommonly scare ahead of Apple's big WWDC 2017 keynote presentation on Monday, so some people assumed that Apple didn't really have anything exciting to announce. Well guess what: that notion couldn't have been more wrong. The opening keynote from WWDC 2017 is now behind us, and the even was just as action-packed as we've come to expect over the years. The big news was obviously iOS 11, which is the next-generation mobile software coming to the iPhone and iPad this September. But iOS 11 was hardly the only big news from WWDC this year. If you weren't able to follow along live as Apple made all of its announcements during WWDC 2017, don't worry because we've…

Look, we are not in any way suggesting that you should do anything illegal or unethical with a hidden security camera.

Over the weekend, a Reddit user with the handle Foxconninsider released a treasure trove of information regarding a number of new products Apple has in the pipeline. While most of the Reddit AMA seemed to focus on upcoming iPhones and an assortment of Mac hardware, there was also some interesting information divulged regarding Apple's rumored smart glasses. The notion that Apple has been exploring smart glasses with augmented reality features is certainly nothing new. On the contrary, in recent months we've seen a handful of reports from exceedingly credible sources indicating that Apple's smart glasses initiative is very much real. Not too long ago, for example, the F…

The iPhone 7 Plus, Google Pixel, Sony XZ Premium and Galaxy S8 have all claimed to have the world's best smartphone camera at some point in time. So it's a little difficult to work out who to believe, especially when HTC shows up with yet another world-beating camera. Sounds like a good time for an old-fashioned shootout. Continue reading...

With typical theatrical flair, Steve Jobs in January of 2008 introduced the world to the MacBook Air, an incredibly compact laptop that, at the time, was touted as the thinnest laptop on the market. Apple's MacBook Air line has evolved considerably over the past few years, but we're now hearing word that the Air's place in Apple's notebook lineup may soon be coming to an unceremonious end. As part of the engrossing Reddit AMA we highlighted yesterday, a purported Foxconn insider with detailed plans of upcoming Apple products relayed that Apple's MacBook Air line is effectively dead.

With WWDC right around the corner, we're just a few days away from Apple announcing a slew of compelling software and hardware updates. On the software front, Apple has done a solid job of keeping leaks to a minimum. Indeed, the number of WWDC rumors we've seen floating around this year is astoundingly small, especially in contrast to previous WWDC events when seemingly every new major hardware and software announcement was leaked ahead of time. Interestingly enough, there's one fascinating rumor that emerged last year only to have since fallen off the radar completely. This past October, John Gruber dropped an interesting nugget of information on our heads, claiming t…

In absolutely fascinating thread, a Foxconn insider took to the Apple subreddit earlier today and dished out a treasure trove of information regarding upcoming product launches and refreshes.

The entire thread is enthralling and provides us with a rare sneak peek at Apple's relatively secretive supply chain. The thread is currently live and will continue to be updated until tomorrow morning. In the meantime, we've pored over hundreds of comments to glean som…

The question of whether or not to add a layer of digital rights management (DRM) to online games is something that many independent developers struggle with. Does adding that extra layer of protection cause a rift between the developers and their customers? Will it be cracked, and if so, why bother in the first place? The developers of the adventure story game Rime decided on a solution that lands somewhere in the middle. They released the game with anti-tampering features included, but promised to update the game to a DRM-free version if hackers were able to bypass it. Can you guess what happened next?

After spending a few hours with ARMS during the first weekend of the Global Testpunch, I'm all in on Nintendo's newest IP.

When it comes to weigh in on climate change, the absolutely overwhelming number of scientific bodies that have declared it a very real, and very urgent issue should be enough to convince literally everybody that it's time to act.

Late last year, AT&T launched DirecTV Now, a $35 streaming alternative to regular cable TV. In many ways, it's a standard cable TV package, but you watch it on a phone or a Chromecast, rather than a cable TV box. Even though $35 is less than most cheap cable packages, it's still a whole bunch more money than avocado-eating millennials are used to spending on their Netflix subscription. Signups for the service clearly haven't been as high as AT&T would like, as it's been pushing promotions like free Apple TVs and a year of complimentary HBO ever since launch. Starting today there's a new promotion for AT&T's wireless customers, and it's pretty hard to beat. …
