The greatest chase scene in movie history would’ve ended a lot sooner if Steve McQueen could’ve got his hands on a 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt. The Dodge Charger that eluded McQueen’s 1968 Mustang fastback for 12 minutes of brilliant filmmaking never would have stood a chance. Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the […]

Dual-SIM phones are hugely popular in Asia, and there’s been some speculation that Apple is going to include dual-SIM support in one of its 2018 iPhones – the cheaper 6.1-inch model that will have an LCD rather than an OLED screen, to be exact. Now a new report from Taiwan says the dual-SIM iPhone is […]
The initial batch of phones running Android Go has been… not great. As it turns out, hardware that wouldn’t be out of place in 2010 doesn’t make for a great smartphone experience in 2018. Seemingly out of nowhere, ASUS announced its first Android Go phone today, and it appears to be a decent product – […]

There’s a feature in Google Maps that can save you a ton of time if you use it properly. It tells you how busy a place like a restaurant or store typically is, and if there’s usually a wait time, before you even go. For instance, my wife and I went out to a sushi […]
Now that the Surface Go has reached store shelves, there’s a lingering question: how did Microsoft stuff a full-fledged PC (if a modest one) into such a small body? You have your answer. iFixit has torn down the 10-inch tablet, and it’s evident that Microsoft bent over backward to make the design work. For one, […]
Facebook Dating doesn’t plan to launch a standalone dating app, which should temper expectations about how deeply it’s diving into Tinder and Match Group’s territory.
