Look, everyone in the office loves Martha. She's always so nice and cheery, and she even picks up donuts for everyone a few times a month. That's why nobody says anything when she cranks the heat up to 110 degrees. Everyone just sits there, quietly suffering in pools of their own sweat. What you might not know, however, is that there's a way to make yourself more comfortable without upsetting Martha by politely asking her to lower the heat to a livable temperature. Check out the Evapolar Personal Air Cooler + Humidifier, a tiny glowing box that creates a nice cool "microclimate" covering roughly 45 sq ft. Here are the key details from the product page: Creates a Co…

The Trump-era Federal Communications Commission lost no time in rolling back Obama-era privacy rules that prevented internet providers from collecting and selling customer data without consent.

Mark your calendars, folks. One week from today, the eighth installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise will hit theaters nationwide. Dubbed The Fate of the Furious, the film's trailer teases an even heavier dose of action and insane stunts than ever before. Coupled with an impressive and surprisingly star-studded cast, there's a good chance the film will dominate the box office next weekend. Directed by F Gary Gray and featuring big names like Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Kurt Russel, Charlize Theron and more, the film's plot doesn't much matter because all anyone really cares about are fast cars and high octane action scenes. And if the trailers we've seen th…

The name "iSPECLE" doesn't exactly roll of the tongue, but it's a reasonably well-known brand among iPhone owners who shop on Amazon. What's it known for? In a nutshell, the company makes accessories that are the same quality as many of the big-name brands out there, but it sells them at a fraction of the cost. Indeed, iSPECLE cases, screen protectors, Lightning cables and more are always affordable on Amazon, but every once in a while a sale comes along and slashes those already-low prices even lower. Such is the case right now, thanks to a special limited-time sale on Amazon that shaves as much as 40% off the company's already discounted prices. You'll find all six i…

At this point, I don't think anyone is ever going to settle the argument over what smartphone is best. iPhones are great, Samsung's Galaxy devices are excellent when not bursting into flames, and you could even make an argument for a bunch of other Android phones to be "the best." But the best combination of hardware and software isn't always the thing you should buy. I've written before about how I reliably upgrade to a new iPhone for $125 every year, without any special deals or promos or financing. It relies on the very slow depreciation of iPhones compared to all other devices. I've always found that iPhones hold better value than other smartphones, but it's been d…

According to a new report from the Hebrew-language blog The Verifier (via 9to5Mac), Apple's next-gen iPhone 8 will include a Smart Connector designed to assist with wireless charging and, interestingly enough, some VR/AR features as well. While Apple hasn't yet made a play in the VR/AR space, it's no secret that Tim Cook is especially excited about the potential for augmented reality, even going so far as to claim that the technology may be as impactful as the smartphone.

The universe never lets us here on Earth go very long before reminding us that we're really just a random dice roll away from global catastrophe. The next timely reminder will happen on April 19th when asteroid 2014 JO25 will cruise by our planet at a relatively safe distance of roughly 1.1 million miles. That distance, while relatively comfortable, is still pretty close, especially when you realize how large the rock actually is. Continue reading...
