We've been listening to talk show hosts take shots at Donald Trump for months on end. Every night of the week, hosts like Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Trevor Noah joke about Trump's latest controversy and the state of his administration, but later this month, Donald Trump himself is going to fire back. Sort of. Continue reading...

Just because the Galaxy S8 launched last week doesn’t mean that the leaks have dried up.

Don’t expect to get the benefits of two virtual reality platforms when your Samsung Galaxy S8 arrives later this month. It turns out you’ll only be able to use the Gear VR if you want an immersive experience on the phone.

Samsung unveiled last week its most important smartphone of the year, the Galaxy S8. The handset looks a lot better in person than in any of the many weeks we saw in the final weeks preceding the phone’s launch, but the design is far from being perfect. The phone has a gorgeous Infinity display, but the rear shell is on the stranger side of things. The placement of the fingerprint sensor is particularly annoying, but a new series of Galaxy S8 leaks indicates that’s more of a compromise. Apparently, Samsung had a bolder design in mind, but it wasn’t able to deliver. Continue reading... Trending right now: Apple to develop game-changing iPhone component Let’s hop…

I've been pretty critical of Apple's efforts in the TV space, having previously called the company's seemingly non-existent TV strategy aimless and backwards. And with good reason, nothing Apple has done to date suggests that the company truly understands what makes for a compelling TV viewing experience. Bizarrely, Apple still can't seem to figure out if it wants to jump into the TV space head-first or simply leverage a few TV programs to bolster its Apple Music service. What's more, Apple's rumored TV subscription service remains nowhere to be seen. If you recall, Apple a few years ago was reportedly interested in rolling out a skinny bundle of cable TV channels at a…

Netflix has completely transformed the way we watch and enjoy TV, a feat made all the more remarkable given that the streaming giant was nothing more than a purveyor of DVDs by mail just a few years ago. These days, Netflix is churning out content faster than most people can keep up with. In April alone, Netflix has plans to roll out 25 new original programs, including a highly anticipated new stand-up special from Louis C.K. And in case you missed it, Netflix late last week rolled out 13 Reasons Why, a gripping drama based on the book of the same name that has already garnered a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Now if this all old news to you and you fancy yourself some…

Not too long ago, Netflix announced support for offline playback, a feature that many users have been waiting for. That meant iPhone and Android users could simply download all the Netflix content they wanted and view it whenever they wanted, regardless of whether an internet connection is available or not. The feature is now available on Windows 10, which is great news for anyone looking to watch shows offline on a bigger screen while they’re traveling. Continue reading...

The BlackBerry KeyOne was one of the better devices we saw at MWC this year, but it doesn’t look like we’ll be able to get our hands on one this month.

T-Mobile is continuing their trend of unboxing new devices in the weirdest way possible. This time they’ve taken a Galaxy S8, submerged it, thrown a shark in the pool, and unboxed everything. Nope, not a late April Fool’s joke, either.

Multiple reports of Tasmanian Tiger sightings are starting to flow in from everyday citizens in Australia. Several people have recently claimed they've spotted the animal, which isn't a tiger at all — and, despite looking very much like a species of dog, isn't of canine lineage either — but a carnivorous marsupial. Spotting an interesting creature in Australia isn't exactly a rare occurrence, but there's one problem with these reports in particular: the Tasmanian Tiger is supposed to be extinct.

A few year ago, every electronics company out there dove head-first into the smart home game, which analysts said was going to be the next big thing. Yeah... not so much. But then, something exciting happened — and its name is Alexa. Amazon's virtual personal assistant burst onto the scene and gave all of these smart home devices a common interface that was easy to use. Now, people can't live without their smart home gadgets. Of course, there are still plenty of devices in your home that aren't smart and that don't work with Alexa, but that's where TP-Link's Alexa-enabled lineup comes in. And today, Amazon is hosting a big sale that knocks 20% off the price of all the …

A new research note from analysts at Barclays reveals that Apple's 2017 lineup will feature True Tone display technology. Originally introduced as a feature exclusive to the iPad Pro, Apple boasts that the technology takes advantage of four-channel ambient light sensors "to automatically adapt the color and intensity of the display to match the light in your environment." The end result is a display with more natural color tones, making for a more comfortable viewing experience in the process. Continue reading...

Remember how exciting it was when the first Nest Learning Thermostat came out? Holy moly it can adjust your temperature automatically based on your habits and preferences! It'll save you so much money! Those features are still compelling, of course, but they're no longer advantages for the Nest. Rivals have caught up with the Nest, and even surpassed it in some ways. But the biggest blow is the fact that rival offerings are so much more affordable. In this post you'll find two smart thermostats that are as good or even better than Nest, but they cost much less. One is the 2nd-generation Ecobee3 Thermostat with Sensor, which is on sale for $50 off right now on Amazon. T…

One of the best things about Uber is that when you inevitably lose your smartphone in one at 3AM, you can call the driver the next morning and try and get it back. But as it turns out, people routinely leave things much stranger than a wallet in their cars, and are unsurprisingly far too embarrassed to come and retrieve them. Continue reading...
