After the initial launch of the Galaxy Note 7 went up in flames, Samsung recalled all the phones, "fixed" them, and put the Note 7 back on sale. When the fixed version exploded on a plane, Samsung gave up, recalled all the phones worldwide, and tried to forget about the whole affair. But back in March, Samsung took everyone by surprise by saying that there's going to be a third attempt. We don't have all the details on the new Note 7 quite yet, but a set of documents released by the FCC prove that it's very much a real thing. Continue reading...

With 29 new originals set to debut this month alone, there's not one company that can even come close to keeping up with Netflix. Still, with original content seemingly the next battleground -- and perhaps the most efficient way to draw in loyal users -- it's no surprise that we're seeing more traditional tech companies slowly but surely dip their toes into original programming waters. To that end, a new report from Bloomberg relays that YouTube is planning to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on original content over the next few months. YouTube's media play is said to include original TV programming and movies as well; but what makes YouTube's concerted foray int…

Despite the fact that the only way to buy a Nintendo Switch right now is to pay a premium for a console on Amazon, millions of people have managed to score themselves a Switch over the past couple of months. Nintendo's new hybrid gaming device is clearly a hit with eager gamers, but people started to get a bit antsy following the console's release. Why? Because for a period of time The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was the only top-tier game available for the Nintendo Switch. Of course, all that changed last week when Nintendo finally released its hotly anticipated title, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. There is absolutely no question that gamers love playing Mario Kart on …

There’s no two ways about it, people are absolutely obsessed with fidget spinners right now. Why? Good question, and the answer is pretty simple: because. These little toys are intended to help children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, or autism, but they quickly swept the nation and became an obsession for kids of all shapes and sizes. They’re tiny little gadgets with ball bearings that you can spin between your fingers or on a table, and now kids have figured out how to do all kinds of tricks with them, too. Here’s a video of a bunch of popular fidget spinner tricks in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VDw9fXkwfQ If you’re on the look…

French presidential frontrunner Emmanuel Macron has condemned a "massive hacking attack" on his election campaign, after a number of emails purporting to be from his campaign were leaked online late Friday afternoon. A 9GB trove of data was posted to Pastebin, an anonymous link-sharing website, by a user titling themselves "EMLEAKS."

TYLT is known for its stylish-yet-functional products, and the Flipstick is no different. It’s a portable charger that’s, you guessed it, shaped like a stick.

It’s 2017, and no, BlackBerry’s not dead yet. Weird, right?

We see new iPhone 8 leaks and rumors on an almost daily basis, which is crazy considering it’s only early May.

Somehow, despite featuring some of the most outlandish characters and unbelievable scenarios in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies tell the most human stories. Back in 2013, we saw Peter Quill get abducted from Earth, leaving behind his family and the only life he'd ever known. After years of hardship, he stumbled into a new family -- one that would help him save the galaxy. Years later, the ragtag crew is still together, taking on jobs and making a great many individuals very angry, but they face their greatest test yet when Peter (Chris Pratt) is unexpectedly reunited with his father, Ego (Kurt Russell). Will Quill stay loyal to his new…

How many times have you come across a product on Amazon that doesn’t have a single 1-star rating? Can you think of even a single time? Even the best products out there always seem to attract 1-star ratings from at least a few crazies. You know, the people who get angry because they didn’t know a device needed batteries so they jump on Amazon and give something a terrible review. The Ghostek EarShot Bluetooth Headphones would be impressive enough due to the fact that they have no 1-star reviews, but they also don’t have any 2-star or 3-star reviews. That’s right, they only have 4-star and 5-star reviews, for an overall rating of 4.7 stars with more than 130 reviews. And…
