Between robotic vacuums, voice-activated light switches and virtual assistants, the smart home tech business is booming. As smart home devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, a hub from which to control your various gadgets is a good idea. We liked Amazon’s Echo, the device that introduced Alexa, back when it was introduced in 2015 and many improvements […]
It has been generally believed that sedans and sports cars are better for speed and agility, given their more aerodynamic bodies and lower centers of gravity. But as Americans shift away from passenger cars and toward SUVs, some specialty automakers that once would have only sold sports cars are having to adjust lineups or risk […]
Valve has purchased Campo Santo, the acclaimed developer of Firewatch. In a blog post on the studio’s website, Campo Santo said it will continue production on its current project, In the Valley of Gods, but with the benefit of having the likeminded people at Valve working alongside them. “In Valve we found a group of […]
If a hotel room has a fully stocked bar and free cable, we consider it a win—bonus points if there’s an ice machine nearby that actually works.

Almost certainly coinciding with Earth Day, Apple unveiled its newest recycling robot named Daisy. Apple previously released a recycling robot in 2016 named Liam. Parts to build Daisy can take apart nine different versions of the iPhone. Dismantling iPhones Daisy is pretty much Liam’s direct successor down to using part of the robot itself. It […]
Despite the success Microsoft has enjoyed with the Surface Book, Apple has no intention of creating a hybrid tablet-notebook device anytime soon, if ever. Hardly a surprise, Tim Cook a few years ago famously said that the Mac and the iPad would never converge because such a product would result in a number of tradeoffs […]
The second-generation Ryzen chips announced last week are now out, and reviews have hit the ‘Net. Unlike the situation last week, we’re now free to talk about what has changed in the second-generation chips and where their improvements lie.

Ahead of Earth Day on Sunday, Apple today announced a few initiatives that support the company’s commitment to the environment, including its goal of making its products using only recycled or renewable materials.

Messaging on Android is going to be upgraded with a new ‘Chat’ feature, which is essentially Google’s answer to boosting Android’s messaging experience on the Android platform to be more of an enjoyable one.
