Samsung Galaxy S8 torture test has some shattering results
The past year probably felt pretty torturous to Samsung with that whole Note 7 debacle, but that doesn't mean the torture-masters at gadget warranty outfit SquareTrade were compelled to cut the new Samsung Galaxy S8 any slack. The company subjected the new Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus to its battery of breakability tests and found the new generation is a little more delicate than its predecessors, the S7 and S7 Edge. Robots were used to drop, slide, tumble and dunk the devices, and the results saw the..>> view original8 ways the iPhone 8 can beat the Galaxy S8
If there wasn’t already a mountain of pressure on Apple to deliver something spectacular with this year’s iPhone update, there surely is now. If you haven’t noticed, Samsung has released the Galaxy S8 and S8+, and they’re pretty remarkable. As a former iPhone 7 Plus user, the S8+ might very well be the best phone I’ve ever used, with a stunning screen, speedy processor, and, yes, a gorgeous design.But what makes the S8 so amazing is how unique it is.

Activision Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered This week, there’s been some measure of controversy that Activision is selling a Variety Map Pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered for $15. This is annoying many players because A) this is $5 more than the original map pack with the same maps that came out nine years ago and B) the benefit of many (almost all) remasters is that they come with their DLC free or included. But there’s also C) the reminder that even after all th..>> view originalThe inside story of why Tim Cook almost kicked Uber off the App Store
Uber’s willingness to openly disregard Apple’s App Store guidelines almost prompted Tim Cook to kick the popular ridesharing app off the App Store altogether, according to a new report from The New York Times. In a fascinating profile of Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, a controversial figure to say the least, we learn that Kalanick in late 2014 instructed his software engineers to develop a way for the company to identify specific iPhones even when individuals deleted the Uber app from their devices...>> view originalLife with Tesla Model S: replacing the drive unit (aka 'the funny noise')
