I read that more businesses are incorporating Google's devices because their employees want to work on the internet and store their work in the cloud so they can access it anywhere. Maybe these will take off.
It's fascinating how much goes into consideration when designing a game. I've been addicted to gaming since I was a kid and it's easy to forget how much work it takes behind the scenes.
Creating devices for Wi-Fi 6 is about like creating 8K televisions when we can barely get 4K content. It's all about bragging rights. Both for the manufacturer and the owner.
I think self-driving cars have a lot more variables than drones and there is also a lot more at risk than a damaged package. Self-driving cars make me nervous, but I'm all for the drones! Bring them on!
I think it's great for showcasing what might come down the pipeline in the future. Sometimes the designs are too ambitious and they never make it to market, but it's still neat to see.
I've never known a single person who used Apple TV or even seen one of the device in real life haha. Perhaps the acquisition of a beloved series will help them get more customers.
I'm getting one of these iPads, but I don't see any of Apple's tablets as being budget-tablets. Not when Amazon's Fire tablets and Walmart's Onn tablets are usually much cheaper.
As much as I'd like a dual-screen laptop, I don't like the trade-offs here. It won't be easy to adapt to a relocated trackpad. Having it in the right-hand corner will make it awkward to use. The battery life is far too short as well.
I surely hope they won't put out a device with a flaw like this, because that is really going to hurt their image. I think they already took a big hit with the exploding phones.
I'll be shocked if they bungle the release after receiving those scathing tech reviews. It seems like a really cool phone, but maybe it's just not meant to be.
I always forget how to execute most of them, so this list makes for a handy cheat sheet. The /? option that can be added on to any command seems useful.
Although on the surface, it looks like the Gen4 AIC SSD would be great for gaming, it requires using a computer with specific components to really meet its full potential. At the moment it's very limited.
@Verypunny, Bose is less threatening, though because it has a much smaller reach. It doesn't create AI technology and it isn't one of the Big Five tech companies dominating the world and becoming a monopoly. Maybe that's why the company got a... See more
I think it's because those two series of watches had the biggest changes from previous models. Well, Apple's Series 4 watch saw one of the biggest improvements, but the Series 5 has those two plus it's new.
Google Chrome used to be my browser of choice until issues do with privacy became widespread. Either way, it seems to be the number one choice for most people. I also use Mozilla Firefox as an alternative. IE/Microsoft Edge is often the default... See more
That's true about Microsoft's web browsers. The company has really trained people to use what's already installed on their computer, and for many of us, that mindset started in elementary school while using the school's computers. It's a bias... See more
I love physical books as well, but there's so much convenience with ebooks. I love reading on my iPad because my preferred format is epub. The Amazon Kindle is great, but it would be great if it supported more book formats.
Great article! It looks like the PS5 is shaping up to be a speedy console. I'm looking forward to backwards compatibility - if it works well and doesn't cause too many glitches in games.
I have to give it to Facebook, the concept does sound pretty cool. No way would I want them to have access to my communications though. They already know too much about me.
My parents have one of those and the picture is truly brilliant. I wouldn't buy a refurb from a third-party seller, but I would happily grab a refurb from the manufacturer. Especially if it comes with a similar warranty as their new models.
I like that update personally, though I don't think it's enough to make me buy a new one. I wonder if the always-on design will drain the battery more quickly.
I loved every bit of the Series 4, and the company did well to allow the watch face to be always-on, in Series 5. This new smartwatch gives Google such a steep hill to climb, in looking to compete with Apple.
It's easy to find refurbished models Jayden and I'm sure third-party sellers will need to deplete their stock, as will Apple. You could save quite a bit taking that route if the always-on display isn't important to you.
I would definitely look into this. I do like having a smart audio system and Sonos is great, but it is so pricey. To me, Sonos does look more exclusive, but not necessarily better.
Right! The fact that you can buy all three of Roku's speakers for about the same price as one Sonos speaker makes Roku the clear winner. It stacks up to be "good enough" sound at a terrific price.
It would be nice if Puma would give these smartwatches as a bundle for their shoes. It may be a hard sell if Puma will sell these watches individually.
Now that' a good idea that would make for brilliant marketing! I could see these selling well as part of an exclusive bundle. Puma should've thought of that!
Okay, so it's a light-weight phone, but what about the camera? Can I use it to take awesome selfies for my nonexistent Instagram account? My five followers count on my inspirational selfies and quotes.
I'm surprised the smaller model isn't better done considering that most students and professionals want a laptop that's sleek and small to make its portability easier.
It really is disheartening that companies are making products that can't be readily repaired. I don't know if it's by design or if the technology is just that far advanced and sensitive.
That's pretty sad that Apple's iPhone can't outlast the less expensive Android models. This is a great list! It's a good reminder that there's a whole world of phones out there that aren't made by Apple or Samsung.
That's bound to be a sweet sounding headset since it's made by the pros of the gaming industry. I bought a headset made by Razer a couple years ago and it's still going strong.
I want one, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger. Tech reviewers seemed to give Razer's older model high marks, but if you checked on Amazon and on other buying sites, regular everyday gamers didn't seem that impressed with it. It sounds like... See more
When it comes to smartphones, I notice the sizes of the phone and the screen, the battery capacity, the price, and how speedy it works. Most people are on-the-go today, so battery capacity definitely matters.
I don't see why smartphone makers are so against physical buttons. Is that something you all look for in a phone? I'd love to know why that elevates the phone's appeal.
A lot of businesses like to keep their documents in the cloud because it makes it easier to work remotely while keeping up with the day-to-day operations. A Chromebook works great for that purpose.
Amazon already has its whole digital ecosystem in place. There's everything from Kindle eBooks, to Audible, to Prime Movies, to Prime Music, and Twitch. All of that gives Amazon the advantage.
I'm honestly shocked that some members of the fan base got tattoos with the logo. That's just way over the top! I'm looking forward to seeing what the company creates. I don't need a fancy toaster, but let's see what they can do.
I'd go out and buy one depending on price. The thing they have to worry about is that many games are played online. Then they're dealing with speeds set by the person's ISP.
I'm glad to see they've done something about the dragging that caused some of us gamers to feel motion sickness. The touch controllers appear to have improved too.
They really need to do something totally different in order to bring the prestige back to the product line. I think it's telling that they're trying to compete with other brands, because I remember when other brands had to compete with Apple.
Creating musical fruit would be a great way to engage kids with a STEM activity. I've needed holographic directions a time or two before. It would be easier than trying to follow along with a YouTube video.
You don't play games on your phone? Not even quick games designed for killing time? I'd never make it through waiting anywhere without mobile games. I wouldn't buy a special phone for gaming, but many smarphones can handle most games.
No! No, I would not spend $70 plus bucks on a mouse. I have the Logitech G602 gaming mouse on their list and it works great. It doesn't cost a fortune either.
I wish we could use these earbuds on any device we chose without extra hassle. I love the battery power and charging abilities of the Galaxy Buds, but I have an iPhone.
I was surprised too, Emma. Apparently some of their IOUs are coming due so they're raising subscription prices to help cover that. I'm not keen on paying more but I guess I will.
That's shocking to me. Are people streaming on tablets, phones, and computers that often? Are projectors becoming more popular? I figured televisions were a mainstay.
Apple is known for their shady practices that render older devices obsolete. Such a waste. Imagine all the resources that go into constructing these devices. I doubt most of them are recycled or repurposed. There's lots of electronic waste on... See more
That's a good point, Lachlan86. It's a shame because Apple's products are built to last and can be useful for years. I still use my original iPod Touch and it's going strong.
The picture on that screen looks fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing what pops up at CES 2019. If only our broadcasting channels could keep up with technology.
I loved the first ever Dell Latitude laptop I ever owned because it had a double cell that would really last for long. I have no doubt that this is a device worth owning.
I had one like that. It was a Dell Latitude D620 I believe. The battery lasted for ages and charged quickly too. I don't think they make laptops that use double cell batteries anymore.
Thanks for posting this article. I love collecting survival gear as you never know what might happen. It's great that this preserver inflates automatically in such a short amount of time.
It's disappointing that image quality is subpar for this camera. I remember when Sony was a real powerhouse producing quality products. They've made so many missteps lately.
The article mentioned how Eli Musk feels about robotics and I have to agree with him. They're going to cause mass unemployment and could potentially harm society. The only people who will benefit are the owners.
$1,000, or near there amount, still seems like a lot to give for a laptop. I'm glad to see the options, but I'm sticking with my gaming consoles for now.
This is the first year in ages that I've got nothing to return. I'm thankful to avoid the wave of shoppers returning their Christmas gifts. Good luck to them!
Hey, thanks for sharing this article. I use internet security software but never thought of adding IDS and IPS software. I appreciate the information and will try a few out.
I would be upset if I spent a fortune on a device and it was flimsy. Sure, you can get a heavy-duty case, but that just adds to the weight of the tablet.
Those are some sweet looking tennis shoes. I bet they'll go for a bundle on the secondary markets like eBay and Poshmark. Shoe collectors will snatch them up.
I read the article, George. I'm Southern and in the Deep South tennis shoes is the generic term for any athletic shoe. I know the shoes weren't intended for playing the sport of tennis. Some people call them sneakers, but we call them tennis... See more
I'm always afraid to use public charging stations due to malware concerns, so it's nice to know which power banks work best especially when there are so many to consider. Thanks!
I just don't think it's a priority for Zuckerberg or his team. I'd like to see user privacy taken seriously, but the data is already out there. Deleting it now will make little difference I think.
I'd say that Zuckerberg, the board members, and the executive team are looking at user privacy seriously, but they can't determine how to monetize our data while protecting our privacy rights.
I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep so I'd definitely pick one of these up if it's within my budget. Too bad it's not on the market yet.
I have never played this game before but reading through the article, I now understand a few things about the rules. To have a winter theme in the 7th season is pretty much creative and I think most players are going to like this.
It's similar to other battle games, but it's more playful I guess you could say. It doesn't have the blood, gore, and realism like other games. I enjoy it.
The article seems to talk more about the electric scooters than the clientele that this start up is after. Whereas the company's aim is to help workers save money on transportation costs, electric scooters aren't the safest means of transport.
Doesn't sound like much of a job perk. I've read that a lot of cities are banning them all together because they're a nuisance to pedestrians on the sidewalk and bike riders on the road.
It's fascinating to see how far we've come with technology and I'm excited about the future. It feels like anything is possible. Quantum computers are amazing.
I understand why some experts recommend avoiding Google, since they track you across the web. I'm not sure about Tor though. Maybe it's because it has leaked user info in the past and is often a target of the law enforcement and government... See more
I like the Peanuts flash drive myself. It's cute and you can never have too many flash drives. This is a nifty list and I'm surprised they found quality items for so cheap.
I used to love storybooks with this theme, so I'm looking forward to testing the films out. It's very cool that they've taken an old idea and modernized it.
