Remember how Elon Musk sent Tesla car with a human dummy behind the wheel? Internet remembers. Today SpaceX took to social platforms to inform us that the rather atypical space vessel has just entered the orbit of the Red Planet. It’s trajectory, which can be seen on the graphic above, will eventually take it near the planet. Tesla’s journey so far took it nine months ever since its launch on February. We can only wonder when and where will it end… Tweet Vote on ...

Samsung is teasing its long-coming bendable device
Samsung has just released a neat little teaser for what is expected to be an official announcement of its bendable mobile device. Teaser exists in the form of a new logotype on its Facebook group page. I am the first one to admit that, on the first glance, this is not the most reliable news in the world, but think about it: such teasers are pretty much always being released very soon before the big news come out. Therefore, we can expect Samsung to come out with its new bendable any day now. Naturally we do not know anything about this device. People more in the know than me believe that it ...
Chrome Adblock will give a middle finger to ads starting December
Internet ads are annoying. Frankly, there is no other way to put it. Windows advertising uninteresting products pop up when we open a new website, small video windows appear in the corners of the screen, wide tabs with ads take place on top and bottom of screen where the text should be… it is all so irritating that it is difficult to not agree with South Park’s sentiments on the matter. Good uncle Google saw our troubles and said ”let there be clarity” and gave us AdBlock, which takes care of much of this trash. Unfortunately, AdBlock is not perfect, and we are still ...
iPhone XR may not be doing very well
Apple iPhone XR, a budget flagship that costs more than most flagships, does not sell well. Who would have thought? According to the stock market index Nikkei, customers interest in XR turned out to be lesser than Apple anticipated, and the company was forced to lower the number of XR production lines. Unfortunately, we do not have the specific sales numbers. What we have is knowledge that Apple has increased the production rate of iPhones 8 and 8 Plus. This repeats last year’s scenario, in which iPhone 7 became a much more popular choice after its price dropped due to the release of ...

Moto One, Motorola smartphone that look suspiciously similiar to iPhone X, will be sold in the US. Motorola has managed to get Best Buy to offer its device on November 9th, with price tags of $399. Is this the right price for such a device? Judging by its specifications, it may be somewhat too high:– 5.9-inch LCD display, 720 x 1520 p,– Snapdragon 625 processor,– 4GB RAM and 64GB flash memory,– 3000mAh battery,– Android 8.0 Oreo (that is kinda old).Device will be available in retail on November ...
