No matter how hard Amazon tried, and it tried REALLY hard, the Fire Phone was failure by every definition of the word. Four years of development went to waste when the company struggled just to sell its initial batch of Fire Phones, and Amazon has already lost millions of dollar because of the smart

No self-respecting flagship smartphone can go without a dual camera setup these days, so it’s not all that surprising that the next LG-made Nexus device will come with a dual camera. At least, that’s what some new leaks seem to suggest. It also looks like the smartphone will have a singl

If there are two things the Russian government hates, its gay people and weed. It hates them so much that it’s willing to order Internet service providers in Russia to block access to websites that fail to censor information regarding those two subjects, even extremely popular websites like Wi
People want gigabit Internet, this is something that even companies like Comcast can no longer dismiss or ignore. That’s why the company is apparently planning to start a nationwide rollout of its own gigabit Internet service over the next few years. Comcast is looking to bring gigabit Interne
Exposing someone’s infidelity can ruin their lives, and I can only imagine how many lives have been affected by the recent Ashley Madison hack, which leaked the information of millions of the extramarital dating website’s users. It’s only natural for some of these people to seek re
ASUS has already established itself as one of the leaders of the PC market, but since that market has been decaying over the past few years, the company has turned its attention to the mobile market. The company’s entrance into the market a while back was a bit of a surprise, but ASUS has sinc

Windows Hello is a feature that Microsoft implemented in Windows 10 that allows users to sign-in to their computer using facial recognition. It’s an interesting feature that everyone has been scrambling to find a weakness for, but it looks like Hello is pretty damn good at what it does because
We know next to nothing about the new console that Nintendo is working on aside from the fact that it won’t run on Android. However, if a new patent filed by the company is anything to go by, the NX might be a “stationary game console” that doesn’t use discs. Instead, the con
The telecom industry in the United States has been rapidly consolidating over the past couple of years, and T-Mobile is the company that all the others seem to want to get their hands on but haven’t been able to. Tim Horan, an analyst with Oppenheimer, claims that all of America’s top wi
Numerous studies have shown us that humans aren’t very good at making secure passwords, and now it looks like we’re not good at making secure lock patterns as well. The lock pattern that Google popularized with Android several years back is an interesting alternative to passcodes and pas
The bigger the better, right? That mentality has worked pretty damn well for Samsung so far, which is probably why the company is working on a new tablet with an absolutely ridiculous 18.4-inch display. Rumors of the tablet started popping up a few weeks ago, but now we have some leaked specs to giv
