I walked away from the Surface Laptop. Without question, it's just as attractive and sleek of a product as anything else in the Surface line up to this point. It's powerful enough to handle any productivity task you throw at it, it's slim enough to fit in any bag and it's affordable enough to compete with the MacBook. Continue reading...

The Amazon Echo is the speaker that started it all. In fact, speakers like the Echo have grown so popular now that even Apple seems poised to copy them. Alexa is clearly still the best in the business, but $180 is a tall order for many people. Of course, that's why Amazon went on to release its less expensive Amazon Tap and Echo Dot speakers. They're both terrific products as well, but neither one can match the range or sound quality of the original Echo. Well guess what: now is your chance to get an Echo speaker at a big discount. While supplies last, Amazon is selling refurbished Amazon Echo speakers for just $134.99, which is the Echo's lowest price of 2017 so far. …

In case you haven't been keeping up with the Apple rumor mill this week, word on the street suggests that Apple is planning a standalone speaker with Siri built in. It's being touted as a competitor to Amazon Echo and Google home, and will reportedly "carry a premium price," and be packed with powerful speakers to give it an edge over its already established rivals. The possibility of a new Apple product category is always exciting, and if Apple positions the new device as a true piece of audiophile-friendly home sound equipment, it would be deal for a number of reasons. But if there's one thing that's going to hold the still-mythical Apple Alexa-alike back it's the fact …

Netflix finds itself at the center of growing controversy in the United States and abroad surrounding the streaming giant's recent original series 13 Reasons Why. Based on a young adult novel of the same name penned by Jay Asher, the show follows a series of soul-crushing events that lead up to a young teen's suicide. The series, first released at the end of March, has received as much critical acclaim as it has criticism from concerned parents and even school administrators who fear that the show could push teens to harm themselves. Some argue that the show glorifies suicide while others applaud Netflix and the show's creators for drawing attention to difficult topics…

One trope shared among all the fictional depictions of a futuristic robot uprising is the idea that, because we've taught robots so much about how humans function, we essentially built an enemy that knows all of our weaknesses and, thus how to defeat us. Well, if humanity ever does find itself fighting a war against the machines, it might look back on days like today with the utmost contempt. That's because University of Utah researchers just reported their newest creation: an automated robotic drill that specializes in cutting through human skulls. Continue reading...

In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes… and people love Alexa. Sure, Amazon’s virtual personal assistant can answer all your questions and order whatever you need from the Amazon website. But Alexa can also control a wide range of smart devices now that Amazon is letting third-parties integrate Alexa for free. That’s awesome, but what about all the old gadgets in your house that aren’t "smart," like your lamps, fans, coffee makers, and more? That’s where Alexa-enabled smart plugs come in, and falling prices made these little gadgets the hottest devices we shared with you last week. Well, prices are still falling, and we’ve got four grea…

While networks and content creators are used to dealing with episodes of TV shows appearing on Torrent sites immediately after hitting the airwaves, it's another matter altogether when episodes of a popular show surface online months before even airing. While such occurrences are rare, that's what just happened to the popular Netflix show Orange Is the New Black (OITNB). Less than 24 hours after a hacker named The Dark Overlord threatened to release all of the episodes from the upcoming season of Orange Is the New Black, our sister-site Variety reports that the stolen episodes have allegedly made their way onto the Pirate Bay. Incidentally, the hacker reportedly demand…
