Company promises autonomous flying car, coming soon

By about 6 hours ago.

Which will come first: flying cars, or self-driving cars? Both are technologies that have been in the works for some time, but neither one is remotely ready for mass market. So why not just combine both?

That’s the thinking behind Terrafugia, a flying car company that has already been around for 10 years, and now wants to make an autonomous flying car. I guess no one can accuse them of thinking small!

Sleek aluminum smartphone stand costs $11 and is perfect for watching videos

Everyone watches videos on their smartphones these days, and holding your phone while you’re watching a quick YouTube video is fine. If you’re watching something longer like a TV show or a movie on Netflix, however, holding your phone in your hands the entire time is annoying. Laying it flat on a table or bed hardly gives you the best viewing angle, and propping it up never seems to work out. Here’s another option: Check out the InzhiRui Micro-suction Mobile Phone Desktop Stand, which is compatible with almost every phone out there and costs just $11 shipped on Amazon. More →

Taking a page from Tesla’s playbook, Volvo now advertises its cars as ‘self-driving’

Taking a page from Tesla’s playbook, Volvo now advertises its cars as ‘self-driving’

For as much as people hate on Tesla, it’s impossible to ignore that the company’s success has had a discernible impact on the auto industry at large. Tesla may have started out as a curiosity, but the resounding success of the Model S helped convince big time auto manufacturers to take electric vehicles more seriously.

Another area where Tesla has had an impact on the auto industry is in regards to self-driving car technology. While some of the features that came with the original incarnation of Tesla’s Autopilot suite were already available in some luxury cars, Tesla’s implementation of self-driving features was by far the broadest and most ambitious.

Netflix releases first six episodes of ‘The Get Down’ to mixed reviews

If you’ve finished binge watching Stranger Things and are on the hunt for a new show to get into, Netflix’s new show The Get Down may be worth checking out. Released earlier today, The Get Down is a Hip Hop musical drama set in 1970s New York. Featuring an all-star cast, including Giancarlo Esposito (aka Gus from Breaking Bad) and Jimmy Smits, it’s worth noting that the show was conceived by Baz Luhrmann and The Shield creator Shawn Ryan.

If the name Baz Luhrmann doesn’t sound familiar, chances are you’re already familiar with his work as he previously wrote and directed films like The Great Gatsby and Moulin Rouge!.

Best Gaming Glasses 2016

What the heck are ‘gaming glasses’ and why do you need them?

What the heck are ‘gaming glasses’ and why do you need them?

Okay seriously… they make “gaming glasses”? Like, special glasses you wear while you’re playing video games? How could this possibly be anything but a scam?

If you’ve never tried gaming glasses, they definitely sound like some kind of ridiculous as seen on TV junk. But all it takes is slipping a pair on for about 5 seconds before you realize that this is no scam. Instead, gaming glasses do wonders to kill glare and sharpen the images you see on your screen, all while blocking harmful blue light and UV light that can damage your eyes irreparably over time. Do yourself a favor and check out the Gunnar Optiks PPK Unisex Gaming Glasses, which are on sale right now on Amazon for $60.25 from now through the end of the day on August 22. More →

Should you wait for the iPhone 8?

Should you wait for the iPhone 8?

While the upcoming iPhone 7 is expected to have some welcome improvements, the iPhone that Apple is planning for 2017 could be really different.

First, let’s review what’s expected for the iPhone 7. Two recent reports from Bloomberg lay out a lot of the details. It’s expected to debut at an Apple event less than a month from now on September 7, but be physically similar to the iPhone 6/6s, a design first introduced in September of 2014. That means Apple will break from its past practice of doing a physical makeover every two years.

Android Phone 8GB RAM

There’s already an Android phone with 8GB of RAM on the way

There’s already an Android phone with 8GB of RAM on the way

Some of you may be upset that the Galaxy Note 7 that you wanted to buy this year isn’t going to be available outside of China. You know, the one packing way more than we need in smartphones these days – that’s 6GB of memory if you’re behind with the news. Samsung rationalized its choice to make a 6GB version by saying that it wants to compete better against local brands that keep pushing the envelope when it comes to RAM (though Samsung now seems to be rethinking the decision).

Well, if you roll your eyes when hearing that phones have 6GB of RAM these days, then you’d better prepare yourself. A new report says that Chinese company LeEco will launch a handset with 8GB of RAM early next month, maybe on the same day Apple hosts its iPhone 7 event.

This guy crushed dynamite with a hydraulic press, and you’ll absolutely believe what happened next

Unlikely internet celebrity Lauri Vuohensilta is the Finnish genius behind Hydraulic Press Channel, a YouTube channel that does…well, you can probably guess.

Vuohensilta made his name crushing such mundane items as red-hot nickel balls and rubber ducks, but he’s finding ways to keep things interesting months later. Yes, those ways do involve dynamite.

The best way to get back at Comcast and TWC for overcharging you

The best way to get back at Comcast and TWC for overcharging you

There’s really only one way to get back at cable companies like Time Warner Cable and Comcast for all the years they’ve spent overcharging you for service: stop paying them so much money. It sounds simple enough, but cable companies spend a small fortune lobbying the government so that they can enjoy monopolies in many regions. If you don’t have another company to turn to, how are you supposed to negotiate a better rate?

If you listen to us, you can save over $100 on your cable and internet bill each year without negotiating at all. Simply pick up a TP-LINK DOCSIS 3.0 (16×4) High Speed Cable Modem, which is on sale on Amazon this week for $69.95. Once you set it up and return your cable company’s modem, they’ll drop their bogus $10 modem rental fee from your monthly bill. More →
