As one of the largest audio hardware providers, Bose has become synonymous with quality and consistency. Speakers and music systems are some of their most popular items but the QuietComfort 35 headphones are the active noise cancelling headphones that many users have been waiting for. At $350, it is a small price bump compared to […]
ASUS has just unveiled the next iteration of their GX series gaming laptops and it is everything a gamer could ask for. Here are the top three reasons why the GX800 is the laptop of choice in the gaming world.
As we mentioned in our previous post about Amazon cracking down on sellers of unsafe USBs, it’s now evident that many USB Type-C cables are just plain dangerous. With incredible utility does indeed come great responsibility but manufacturers and resellers have not been prioritizing manageable temps and safe power transfers in efforts to maximize data […]
Earlier this month, IBM announced a more efficient way to use phase-change memory (PCM). This isn’t just another lab headline — it’s a meaningful step toward memory technology that could eventually outperform both traditional RAM and NAND flash. PCM is a type of non-volatile storage that works by changing the physical state of chalcogenide glass […]
As computer hardware becomes cheaper and more powerful, leaps such such as NVIDIA’s new GeForce GTX 1080 are why it has never been a better time to be a PC gamer. The rise of virtual reality and the growing 4K trend makes the power and efficiency of the GTX 1080 heavily desirable. Not only that, […]
Understanding language can be difficult from human to human, much less for machines attempting to understand the intricacies of human speech and text. Google knows this as well as anyone considering the countless queries made every hour which take a user where they need to go, even in the face of abhorrent sentence structure and […]
As AI technology grows in popularity and complexity, the natural progression would then be to shrink the actual size this tool needs to function and that’s exactly what a Silicon Valley chip designer has done. Chip designer Movidius has launched a USB stick with a supercomputer onboard, essentially taking the deep learning paradigm of artificial […]
There have been many interesting hacks to increase the battery life of an iPhone since its release but hearing “light it on fire” has probably not been one of them. Lighting your phone on fire is still a terrible idea and should not be attempted to charge ANYTHING but a device called the FlameStower USB […]
Smartphones are not in short supply when it comes to software gadgets. Rulers, levels, and calculators are great examples on the software side, but hardware extensions for our powerful devices have been relatively scarce in recent years. Android now offers a tool that leverages the processing power, camera, and display of a smartphone to function […]
While there has been a recent push for more customizable mobile phones, most carriers still offer a fairly limited variety of hardware options. There isn’t much a user can purchase to make an iPhone battery last longer, but the SanDisk iXpand flash drive is emerging as a compact solution to make the standard 16GB iPhone […]
The obvious size difference and the less obvious protocol differences between SD memory and a standard disk drive have made it difficult to use SD cards as primary or even secondary storage on a traditional computer. Fortunately, adapters that bridge the gap between these two types of media have become smaller and faster, making it […]
The information age heralded by our technology is proving more than capable of eroding the media blockade of regimes such as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Over 250 defectors have studied at a journalist academy founded by one of their own in 2011 and they have gone on to further undermine North Korean efforts […]
