Even after a huge push into the hardware sector, Google remains first and foremost a search and advertising company. It’s where the vast majority of the Mountain View’s profits come from, despite their other products grabbing more of the headlines.

The mobile industry is full of trends, but not every company immediately follows them. There are still multiple big players that don’t care to include a two-camera setup on their flagships. OnePlus, however, is going to join the craze this summer.

As the mobile market becomes increasingly competitive, the big carriers have had to make some concessions when it comes to pricey plans. On Friday, that trend continued as Verizon introduced three new monthly prepaid plans that are either cheaper than the prepaid plans that the carrier had in place previously or offer more data for the same price. In other words, a win-win for consumers. Continue reading...

With President Donald Trump announcing that the United States won't be joining a huge number of its allies in supporting the Paris Agreement on climate change rules just a day ago, an extremely troubling development in Antarctica is helping to underscore just how bad of a decision that really was. A crack in the Larsen C ice shelf on the frigid continent has grown rapidly in the past week, and a complete break is expected imminently. When that happens, a chunk of ice as large as the state of Delaware will be released into the ocean, creating one of the world's largest icebergs ever. Continue reading...

Usually, when astronomers, skywatchers, and space researchers are able to catch a glimpse of something in space it's cause for celebration — after all, the images are often jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and with plenty of scientific implications, too. But when it comes to the galaxy hiding behind a star called HD 107146, scientists are just kind of annoyed that it even exists to begin with. Continue reading...

We tested every single popular Mesh Wi-Fi system out there, and we concluded that the single best option in terms of both range and speed is the AmpliFi HD Home Wi-Fi System. Of course, not everyone has a huge house that needs so much coverage, and not everyone wants to spend over $300. If you're more of a Google fan and you've been waiting for a price drop to upgrade your home network with Google's mesh offering, today is the day you've been waiting for because Amazon has a rare discount on the Google Wifi system (set of 3). It's not a huge discount, but every penny counts. There's no telling when the price will shoot back up, so definitely jump on this deal while you ca…

Samsung’s next flagship will be the Galaxy Note 8, and that’s hardly a secret. The Korean smartphone maker confirmed that it’s not killing the Note line despite what happened last year, and we’ve already seen a bunch of reports detailing some of the Galaxy Note 8’s new features. But the newest rumor may bring the best news of all, because it seems to indicate the phone could hit stores even sooner than we expected. Continue reading...

Back in 2013, Ghost Games took over the Need for Speed franchise and brought it into the new generation with Need for Speed Rivals. Rivals was well-received, but didn't reach the heights of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Ghost Games then took a year off in order to reboot the franchise for 2015 with a game simply titled Need for Speed. Reviews were mixed, at best, so it was time for the developers to go back to the drawing board once again. Today, we're going to see what they came up with. Continue reading...

It's now June, which means we have just over three months to go until Apple unveils its new iPhones for 2017. But this time in years past, Apple's upcoming new iPhone design was basically a matter of record. While nothing is ever truly confirmed until Apple announces its new iPhones on stage in California, the rumor mill has always managed to produce a clear picture of what to expect. This year, however, the rumor mill is torn. Will the iPhone 8 feature an all-screen face with barely any bezels, or will there be a hideous notch cut out for the camera, speaker and sensors? Will Apple and its partners figure out how to get their embedded Touch ID sensor ready for mass pr…

Climate change is real, and an overwhelming majority of scientists and researchers in various fields have put the blame for the gradual warming of the Earth squarely on mankind. At this point, there's really no denying it unless you're willing to ignore countless studies from every developed nation. That's why, when Donald Trump announced that he was pulling the United States out of the Paris Agreement, it was met with backlash from democrats, republicans, and countless US allies. Tim Cook and Elon Musk are leading the charge against the decision from Silicon Valley, but not everyone believes they're both in it for the right reasons. Continue reading... Trending rig…
