Burning smartphones are old news; what will you say about burning headphones? The story is as follows: one Jason Colan was spending time in a fitness club excercising and listening to music, when suddenly he noticed that his right headphone started to let out thick smoke. He quickly took it out and left to find help. When he returned, he found his headphones a burnt mess of plastic and wires. Hm.Apple already knows about this and promised to look into the how’s and why’s of it. Hopefully it was just an isolated ...

This time the hooded bastards with keyboards stroke against Coincheck, one of the largest cryptocurrency markets. Hackers broke the market’s security measures and took almost 400 million dollars worth of NEM cryptocurrency. This attack has been called similiar to one from 2014, where hackers robbed a japanese cryptocurrency market for roughly the same amount of money, forcing the market to go bankrupt.

United States of ‘Mu… America certainly have a wide variety of phone carriers to chose from! With such a large number of services available, it is no wonder that some of them garner more love from user’s love than others.

Right now it seems that most americans dislike Sprint, with Verizon and AT&T being far second and third. This though may be so only because of how many people use them.

The title of the article probably says it all. Die With Me is a new application, currently available on both App Store and Google Play, that is a pretty regular group chat. The only irregular thing about it is that it cannot be activated until the phone’s power level is higher than 5%. It means that Die With Me creates a sort of an elite club only for People Whose Smartphones Are About To Die.Great. Now you can contact even more random and probably stupid to talk about more definitely stupid things. Hi guys, my phone is going to die… mine too… mine too… look, ...

Drone-related accidents are starting to become a real issue in Western countries. Even a good drone – that is, fast and with long-living battery – is something that a regular Kovalsky can afford with relative ease. Therefore it is no wonder that a high number of less than responsible people got their hands on fliers, and even less of a wonder that some of these people caused a number of accidents – like that journalist that caused a head injury to a woman after crashing his drone into a building. Some of these people like to have a drink or six when they go flying.In an ...
