Anyone who’s trained with guns will tell you how movies make using firearms look WAY easier than it actually is. There are numerous factors that you need to take into consideration, both with the gun itself and with your own body. That’s why the United States Army has developed a new exo

With about a month left until the big unveiling of its next smartphone, OnePlus has been teasing bits and pieces of information about the OnePlus 2. We already know that the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 810 and will feature a USB Type-C port, and now the Chinese company has revealed that t

When you’re a brand new Chinese smartphone maker with absolutely no recognition in your own country, let alone in the West, you need some marketing wizardry to make your product successful. That’s exactly what OnePlus did last year with the OnePlus One where, despite an annoying invite s

Replacing human workers with robots is easier said than done. The development and production of robots is expensive, and even modern technology is still limited enough that humans outperform robots in just about everything. So it’s clear that robots won’t be replacing us anytime soon, bu

Last year, SoftBank proved to us that household robots will be within our reach in the future when it unveiled Pepper. A thousand models of the intelligent robot have already been made available to early adopting customers, but now SoftBank has received $236 million in funding from Alibaba and Foxco

ASUS has traditionally been associated with personal computers, but with the PC market constantly shrinking, the company has been trying to expand into the mobile market in order to ensure it remains successful even after the PC market is more or less dead.

We heard some rumors earlier this year that the primary version of the OnePlus 2 would cost somewhere around $400 when it launches, while a more budget-friendly version would be priced a bit lower. Now we have a more recent rumor which claims that the smartphone will be launching next month for $322

As the Chinese equivalent of Google, it’s only natural that Baidu be working on the same technologies that its American competitor is, such as self-driving vehicles. Apparently the company has been working on autonomous vehicle technology for a couple of years now, and has recently secured a p

It’s strange to think that, in decades past, there was a competition between the world’s two superpowers to see which one could master spaceflight first, with some of the brightest minds in existence being brought together and billions of dollars being spend on research… and now we

The problem with leaving it up to people to decide whether they’re too drunk to drive is that, if you’re too drunk to drive, there’s a good chance that you’re too drunk to make the decision not to drive. That’s why the NHTSA has been working on a new type of alcohol det

There was a time not too long ago when pretty much everything that had to do with technology, particular computer and mobile technology, had some form of roots in Silicon Valley. That’s where the smart people go. It’s where the fresh companies go. It’s where startups turn into bill

More often than not, signing up for an app or online service involves sharing varying amounts of information about yourself, such as your email address or phone number. It has been said that, despite the fact that most people hate sharing their information with companies, people choose to do so beca

Pinterest has all the makings of an excellent e-commerce platform, just without the e-commerce. The service is already a popular place for retailers to show off their products, and users can “Pin” images that they like to collections in much the same way one would save an Amazon listing

It’s always good to have big organizations backing your beliefs and causes, and with governments across the globe waging a war against anonymity and encryption, it’s relieving to hear that we have the United Nations on our side. The benefits of anonymity and encryption are innumerable, b

It may have taken a few weeks longer than we would have liked, but LG is finally bringing its new flagship smartphone to the United States. Priced at $600, T-Mobile users can now purchase the LG G4 in either metallic gray or brown leather, while Sprint users can expect to get their hands on the [&he

Those of you who have been eagerly awaiting an official OnePlus Two announcement might not have to wait much longer, as OnePlus has announced through social media that it’s looking to “shake up the tech industry” on June 1st. We know that the company is definitely working on a succ

Dating services are a dime a dozen, but the Chinese website known as Baihe manages to distinguish itself by taking a rather interesting approach to the whole process of finding a partner. Users are encouraged to share their education and property status, which are exceptionally important in Chinese
