While much of humanity concerns itself with saving the planet from the ravages mankind has inflicted upon it, one of the world's brightest minds is already warning that we should actually be spending our time planning our ultimate escape. Stephen Hawking — the cosmologist, author, and physicist who holds more awards and honorary titles than should even be allowed — says that we have about 100 years until Earth is a big old pile of gross, and that if we don't focus our efforts on colonizing other planets, namely Mars, humanity faces complete and total extinction.

Apple's growing cash hoard -- which now checks in at more than $256 billion -- is largely attributable to the iPhone. Sure, Apple was raking in the cash during the iPod era, but the advent of the iPhone quickly transformed Apple into one of the most successful and profitable companies on the planet. Suffice it to say, if you're intent on picking up a brand new iPhone model, you're going to have to pay a pretty penny for it. Interestingly enough, the cost at which you can pick up an iPhone can sometimes vary wildly from country to country. Highlighting this, Deutsche Bank earlier today released a list which maps out how much a brand new iPhone 7 will set you back across…

Donald Trump started tweeting eight years ago today, a strategy that ultimately turned him from a real estate magnate and reality-TV star to becoming the President of the United States. Ever the self-promoter, Trump's first tweet was about him appearing on since retired David Letterman's late night show. Continue reading...

Now that the LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8 are here, Apple fans have gotten a small taste of what's next from Apple in 2017. Like these new flagship phones from Apple's rivals, the iPhone 8 is expected to feature a brand new design that includes a dramatically improved screen-to-body ratio. In order to achieve a ratio that's rumored to be even more impressive than the 83% managed by Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+, Apple obviously had to remove its standard home button from the bottom of the phone's face. The question, of course, is whether that move will lead to an exciting new feature or an awful design choice. Continue reading... Trending right now: This sophistica…

Et tu, Delta? A new viral video making the rounds shows a family with two young children being kicked off of a Delta flight due to a strictly enforced airline policy regarding who is allowed to fly under a purchased ticket. You see, back in the day, if you purchased an airline ticket you were free to give it away to a friend if you couldn't make the flight, or even sell it if you so chose. Over the past few decades, though, security considerations prompted airlines to clamp down on such behavior. And let's be honest, it's primarily a way for airlines to squeeze even more money out of prospective passengers who are forced to purchase tickets directly or even shell out c…

Fans of The Late Show are obviously familiar with Stephen Colbert’s many Donald Trump jokes. In fact, if there’s one thing that's certain about the show, it's that it’ll have plenty of Trump jokes inspired by the day’s events. On Monday, the host turned it up a notch in his monologue, taking a few hard hits at the president for the way he treated a colleague. His rant was hilarious, but it also rubbed some people the wrong way, and so the #FireColbert campaign was born. Continue reading...

On Tuesday morning in New York City, Microsoft unveiled a streamlined, simplified version of its latest operating system called Windows 10 S. Unlike other editions of the OS, Windows 10 S will only run apps from the Windows Store, making it speedier and more secure than Windows 10 Pro.

Some of the coolest discoveries made by NASA — like the personality of Martian soil, for instance — are often so small in scale that it's easy to forget just how big many things in space really are. A new discovery made by researchers working with data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory helps put things in perspective. The group just reported its findings of an absolutely colossal "tsunami" of hot gas cruising through the nearby Perseus Galaxy Cluster, and it's so big that the wave alone absolutely dwarfs our entire galaxy.

EXCLUSIVE: Experts have used a “space treasure map” to make a remarkable discovery in the Caribbean -- a centuries-old anchor believed to be from one of Christopher Columbus’ ships. Analysis of the anchor, which was found off the Turks and Caicos islands, reveals that it dates to between 1492 and 1550. The overall size of the anchor and its estimated weight of between 1,200 and 1,500 pounds indicates that it was a “bower” anchor from a 300-ton vessel, the typical size of a Columbus-era ship.

Finding existing extraterrestrial life would undoubtedly be one of the crowning achievements of the human race, but with so much talk of the potential for life on exoplanets many light-years away, one astronomer is asking why we aren't looking harder for evidence of aliens right here in our own solar system. Penn State astronomy professor Jason Wright has written a paper suggesting that maybe we need to shift our focus from the deep cosmos and simply take a closer look in our own celestial backyard.
