For all of its strengths, Apple’s macOS could benefit from key improvements, whether it’s tweaking the software’s poor window management or upgrading Spotlight’s search capabilities. Luckily, there’s a healthy developer community to help fill the void. While nobody’s needs are exactly the same, these apps have capabilities that will improve your daily experience. I upgraded to a...
The iPhone can’t really reach its full potential without downloading a library of good apps. Lucky for you, we have 25 app recommendations for you to check out, from a sleek podcast player to a helpful calendar. The problem with the iPhone App Store is that there are just so many apps to sort through. Over the years, this list has been updated and edited with the apps we use and rely...
Looking at the landscape of smartphones, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of devices. You’ve got your premium flagships that cost $999 and there is also a surprisingly rich array of devices that cut the price in half and come in at under $500. These are the devices we’re going to look at today. It’s easy to forget about these devices, because they don’t always get the...
Everything we talk about here is pure speculation, opinion, and pulled straight from orifices we don't usually prefer to publish about. Nothing we say has been confirmed, and our entire inception is based on a rumor that may or may not come to fruition later into 2019. However, who doesn't love a good "Gimmie these characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!" article? Today, we're...
The year 2018 brought horrifying natural disasters, sporting upsets, and box office triumphs. It also gave us the display notch, much to the chagrin of pretty much all smartphone users. The notch has been one of the hottest topics of the year, with many people decrying the unfortunate design trend. When people asked for smaller bezels, they didn't expect to get the notch in return. But...
Without warning, Marvel on Friday dropped the first trailer for Avengers: Endgame, giving us our first look at a universe that's now half empty. As expected, things are not looking good: the Avengers are still in mourning, with little to no hope of undoing the astronomical damage. The trailer doesn't give us much in the way of action, instead focusing on the deep trauma caused by...
One of my favorite hobbies as a grown-up adult is researching the living daylights out of every purchase I make. From a pocket knife I use primarily for opening Amazon boxes to the TV I spend hours a day staring at, I try to make the most educated purchase and get the biggest bang-for-buck out of everything I buy. One of my best purchases by far, though, has been my Shure SE215 earbuds...
Recently, Sony announced that it would be skipping E3 2019 and, presumably, 2020 and each year after. Sony is one of a number of companies pulling out of or backing away from E3 in recent years, and it seems like the writing is on the wall: E3's days are numbered. Inevitable as it might be, I think it's bad for both consumers that want details about upcoming releases, and members of the...
When the iPhone XS and iPhone XS were unveiled, there was no question they were Apple's best devices yet. Don't just take our word for it: We put a poll out to see which smartphone you thought deserved to be called the best smartphone of 2018, and Apple's flagship duo ran away as the number one pick. The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max grabbed 39% of votes, handily beating the Galaxy Note...
The Google Home Hub is smaller than I expected, and I'm not sure if I like the design. Speaker quality also leaves a lot to be desired, and it lacks support for services like Netflix. Despite its (admittedly minor) shortcomings, the Google Home Hub is easily my favorite tech of 2018. Announced alongside the Pixel 3, the Home Hub is a smart display with a 7-inch touchscreen and Google...
