Jurassic Park — you know, that silly little novel-turned-movie about mankind bringing dinosaurs back from the dead that made a measly $1 billion — is science fiction, but could it ever actually happen? Researchers studying the remains of one special Tyrannosaurus rex thought it just might be when they discovered what they thought was intact proteins deep within the dinosaur's fossilized bones. Now, new research has absolutely destroyed the already hazy dream that dinosaurs could one day be resurrected. Continue reading...

The last six months have seen an explosion of cordcutter-friendly streaming TV services. AT&T, Hulu, and YouTube have all come out with cable plans that stream to your phone or TV. They're much better than traditional cable, but the price is still upwards of $35 per month. No cord, sure, but still more expensive than your $10 Netflix subscription. Plex is a cheaper (albeit more complicated) way to get the benefits of streaming TV, namely the ability to watch live TV on any internet-connected device. With Plex, rather than streaming directly from the cable company, you instead set up your own Plex server in your basement, connect a TV tuner, and can then stream that…

WWDC is just a few days away and Tim Cook has seemingly made good on his promise to double down on product secrecy. While we have a general idea of what new software and hardware Apple will introduce next week, we're going into WWDC 2017 with decidedly less information than we've had in previous years. That being the case, all eyes will be laser-focused on Craig Federighi this coming Monday when he reveals what type of new features Apple is planning to pack into iOS 11. While the excitement surrounding the forthcoming iPhone 8 is understandable, a brand new iOS release is exciting in its own right. Continue reading... Trending right now: How the iPhone 8 will lo…

When Tiger Woods was arrested earlier this week for suspicion of DUI, all we had to go on were some vague comments by police and his mugshot. Now, the arresting police department has released the dashcam video of the traffic "stop" — his car was already pulled over, and he was asleep, so I'm not sure that qualifies as a stop — that led to his arrest, and it's immediately clear that he should definitely not have been behind the wheel.

There has been something of an internal struggle since Lenovo first acquired Motorola Mobility back in 2014. Motorola obviously has a storied history in the mobile space, having played a huge role in inventing the cell phone as well as in popularizing the device category with product lines like StarTAC and RAZR. When it was acquired by Lenovo, however, Moto's new parent company seemed unsure of exactly how to position Motorola in the market, and its branding and messaging have been confusing ever since. In 2017, Lenovo seems to have finally realized that there is still tremendous value in the Motorola brand. The company's new advertising campaigns bring back the famous…
