We love the Nest Cam, we really do. But as great as the quality is and as sleek as the interface is, $169 is a lot of money to spend on one camera. Actually, the Nest Cam is on sale for $165 on Amazon right now but it retails for $199, which is obviously an even more difficult pill to swallow. If you’ve got the means, the Nest Cam is a great option. If you’d rather get a comparable product for less than one-quarter of the cost of a Nest Cam (and that’s the sale price!), check out the YI Home Camera. People can’t stop raving about it, and we definitely recommend checking it out. Here are some key details from the product page: Records in 720p HD to capture clear ima…

As the world keeps an eye trained on loose canons like North Korea, researchers from Princeton University say the threat from nuclear fallout from within our own borders is something that needs our attention. The researchers teamed up with the Union of Concerned Scientists to issue a warning, calling out the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for using faulty data and skewed analysis to downplay the potential impact of a nuclear disaster in the United States.

The WannaCry ransomware attack took the world by surprise a few weeks ago, spreading to more than 300,000 computer systems around the world in a matter of hours. The virus, believed to have been created by hackers with ties with North Korea, used a Windows vulnerability that was first devised by the NSA and made public after the agency suffered a digital breach. The US government cautions that a similar attack might be just around the corner, thanks to a different vulnerability. Continue reading...

Reports a few days ago said that hackers were able to steal a copy of one of Disney’s latest movies, and were holding it for ransom. The fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, in theaters this Friday, was suspected to be the title in question. Apparently, hackers demanded a huge ransom in order not to release the film online ahead of its theatrical debut. In an interview on Thursday, Disney CEO and Chairman Bob Iger firmly denied those reports, although he admitted that persons with malicious intentions did try to obtain a large payment from the company.

A recent report from The Guardian confirmed that working in a Tesla factory is unpleasant. But a new report from Worksafe, a worker safety advocacy group, makes a strong case that Tesla's fancy robotic factory is plain old-fashioned dangerous. Worksafe analyzed the last three years of data from Tesla's OSHA 300 form, a federally-mandated log of workplace accidents. According to its analysis, Tesla's total injury rate was nearly a third higher than industry average, with nearly one in ten workers experiencing an injury in 2016. Continue reading...

Over the past few weeks, we've been inundated with somewhat conflicting information regarding how much the iPhone 8 is going to cost. While some analysts anticipate that Apple's next-gen iPhone will cost somewhere in the $870 to $1070 range, other analysts maintain that the entry-level 128GB iPhone 8 will retail for $1,000, with a more storage-friendly 256GB model set to retail for $1,099. As a point of reference, the 128GB iPhone 7 Plus currently sells for $869. No matter how Apple opts to price the iPhone 8, it's a safe bet that the device will easily be the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever released. In turn, there has been some chatter that Apple may be doing it…

Actually, that's false. Anyone who's witnessed one of the early-morning presidential tweetstorms will know exactly what Trump has installed. For Trump, Twitter is a gateway to the world that can help him express his views to his supporters. But Twitter isn’t exactly helping him during these perilous times. More often than not, his Twitter remarks have hurt his administration, and that’s why people close to him have been trying to limit his screen time. How much does Trump love Twitter? A new report reveals that it's actually the one and only app installed on his iPhone. Continue reading... Trending right now: T-Mobile is about to make its most exciting new se…

Microsoft unveiled the Surface Pro earlier this week, its fifth-generation tablet that’s no longer sold as a tablet or identified by a number. The Surface Pro is a compelling Windows 10 device though it does have at least one flaw you should be aware of, other than the price structure. Microsoft says that $799 will get you the most versatile laptop out there, but that’s the price you pay for the tablet part only. So if you’re looking for a more affordable Surface Pro alternative, there’s a clone from China that might meet your needs. Continue reading...

It seems like every wearable on the market has some kind of a calorie burn tracker these days, and while we're made to believe the numbers they give us are a good representation of how active we are, it turns out they're not particularly good at it.

The original Apple iPad was the tablet that made tablets cool, launching us into an age where huge touchscreens are the norm and long flights are a bit more bearable because of it. If you're an Apple diehard and, for some reason, an iPad maniac, you can now own one of the rarest Apple tablets on the planet: an internal prototype of the very first iPad.
