Apple’s AirPods are clearly a success for the company. Manufacturing issues aside, it’s been four months since they were released and Apple still can’t produce enough supply to meet demand. All the people out there who have managed to score a paid of Apple’s truly wireless earbuds seem to love them for the most part, which isn’t much of a surprise. They design is smart and unique, and the sound quality is impressive. There are a few complaints that many users share though, and the biggest one is probably the fact that the smooth plastic buds don’t stay in your ears when you work out. Now, however, the perfect solution has finally arrived. The Spigen TEKA RA200 AirPods …

By now you’ve undoubtedly heard about mesh Wi-Fi systems even if you don’t already own one. These next-generation wireless internet solutions use a router in combination with remote mesh points that rebroadcast your Wi-Fi signal in order to improve coverage and speed. We tested every single top mesh wireless system out there recently, and we named the AmpliFi HD our favorite thanks to its unrivaled coverage and consistent, lightning-fast speed. What you might not know, however, is that you don’t actually need to purchase an AmpliFi HD system in order to take advantage of the AmpliFi tech.

Don’t get too excited about installing Windows 10 on the Galaxy S8 just yet, although you can run a virtualized Windows 10 desktop on the phone using the DeX accessory seen in the image above. However, the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 platform that powers Samsung’s phone will also power Windows 10 devices later this year.

Chromebooks are very quietly taking the computer world by storm. First, they came for the classrooms, using absurdly low per-device prices and Google's free Office alternative to get into schools. More recently, a series of sub-$500 Chromebooks have come out that use absurd battery life and good-enough performance to get even the most dedicated bloggers to switch. So it makes sense that Microsoft has a plan to get in on the action with Windows 10 Cloud, a light version of its desktop OS. According to a leaked document the Cloudbooks (as we're lovingly calling them) will have specs right on par with most Chromebooks. Continue reading... Trending right now: Som…

Tesla shares have been on a rampage lately. Over the past six weeks, Tesla's stock price has skyrocketed 25%, with shares currently trading in the $304 range. With a market cap of nearly $50 billion, Tesla is currently more valuable than Ford -- which has a market cap of $46 billion -- and is close to surpassing GM which currently boasts a market cap of $51 billion. Predictably, Tesla's valuation has elicited ridicule from critics who can't help but point out that Tesla in 2016 delivered 76,230 vehicles. In stark contrast, Ford during the first half of 2016 alone delivered 1.35 million cars to customers. Continue reading... Trending right now: Someone rendered t…

Marathon runner Erich Manser competed in his eighth Boston Marathon this year, but with each passing year he's able to see less and less of the actual event. Manser has a degenerative eye disease that has caused him to slowly go blind since he was a child. It makes the prospect of running through crowded streets even more of a challenge than it already is, but this year Manser had a bit of high-tech help to guide him. It's a visual interpretation service called Aira and the app, in partnership with AT&T, were able to give the nearly blind marathoner real-time guidance as he cruised to the finish line.

There’s no denying that one of the best features of Samsung’s Galaxy S8 is its price. The cheapest version costs $720, which is in line with Apple’s iPhone 7 pricing. That was certainly a great surprise from Samsung for a phone that was expected to be significantly more expensive than the cheapest iPhone 7. The iPhone 8, on the other hand, is expected to be more expensive than last year’s entry-price for the iPhone. Some rumors claimed the iPhone might cost over $1,000, and some analysts are already worried about that. But even if we assume that Apple’s cheapest iPhone 8 will cost around $1,000, the device will still sell like crazy, and all those analysts are probably…

Are you upset that Samsung has no plans to release its upgraded Galaxy S8 with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM in the United States? Well, prepare to get even angrier, because everything we suspected about the US version of Samsung's new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ flagship phones ahead of their release turns out to be true. A phone blog got its hands on a US version of the Galaxy S8+ and the standard global version of the phone, both of which have 64GB of storage, 4GB of RAM, and new 10nm octa-core processors. Each model packs a different processor, however, and it turns out that not all 10nm octa-core processors are created equal. Continue reading... Trending right n…

Without Bill O'Reilly, Stephen Colbert might never have gotten his own show. When he broke off from The Daily Show to star in his own spin-off, he used The O'Reilly Factor as inspiration, parodying the popular conservative host to great effect.

In the first six weeks of 2017, Verizon Wireless lost 398,000 on-contract wireless customers. Considering that analysts expected Verizon to add nearly 250,000 customers in the first quarter, that's dire. It's only thanks to Verizon's launch of unlimited plans that the bloodshed isn't worse. In the weeks after Verizon launched an unlimited plan, it stopped losing customers and actually gained 109,000 subscribers, bringing the net loss of customers in the first quarter to 289,000.
