Nextbit wants to solve the problem of storage anxiety on smartphones by using the cloud to ensure that you never run out of storage space, but Samsung has a more traditional solution: just give smartphones more internal storage. That’s easier said than done, however, because it’s no

Things aren’t looking good for Qualcomm, as more and more smartphone makers are choosing to abandon the company’s Snapdragon chipsets in favor of their own, in-house chipsets. Huawei and Samsung have been seriously stepping up their chipset game in recent years, and now it looks lik

Fortunately, the European Commission an

Japan’s population is aging at a frightening pace, and it’s already experiencing labor shortages as a result. The shortages are only going to get worse as more people grow old and exit the work force while fewer people have children to replenish the work force, but the solution to the pr

This has been a pretty good week for digital security, because not only is Oracle finally killing off its cancerous Java plug-in for web browsers, Encoding.com has reported that Adobe Flash will die its own death within the next couple of years. You know it’s bad when even Adobe itself wants t

It’s been almost a decade since Volvo announced its ambitious plan to make it virtually impossible to be injured or killed in one of its vehicles, and it looks like that plan is making some serious progress, enough that the Swedish automaker is confident that it can achieve that goal within th
