    The Amazon Echo just got two incredibly useful features thanks to a new update
    Amazon I've owned an Amazon Echo for more than a year, and it has completely changed the way I live in my apartment. Lots of people ask what I love so much about the Echo, and I always respond with the same answer: It handles simple tasks exceedingly well. I usually ask the Echo for the weather, or to play music, or to set timers and alarms, and it does those things quickly and effectively — it's a huge time-saver, and I never have to reach for my phone.

The focus has moved somewhat away from winning races and more towards f..

    Xbox's Games Subscription Service Is an Incredible Idea That Falls Flat (For Now)
    This is a great selection...of pretty old games. (Image: Screenshot)Yesterday was a big day for Xbox One owners.

    Delaware-sized iceberg about to split from Antarctic shelf
    A Delaware-sized iceberg is very close to splitting off from one of the largest ice shelves in Antarctica, scientists say, after a fast-growing crack stretched to within 8 miles of the open ocean this week. Last month, aerial observations showed that the crack had shifted toward the edge of the ice sheet and the open ocean, leading scientists to estimate that an iceberg more than 300,000 times the size of the one that sunk the Titanic could calve off as soon as summer. The formation of the iceb..

  • Nintendo Is Creating More Questions Than Answers About Switch Online And Virtual Console

    Nintendo Is Creating More Questions Than Answers About Switch Online And Virtual Console
    Paul Tassi Last night, Nintendo released new information about the still-unnamed online service for the Switch which some are taking as clarifying. To me, it all just makes everything even more confusing. Nintendo confirmed the price that was previously rumored, $20 for yearly service, which is well below its competitors’ rates and a breath of fresh air in the industry, though the paid service is now delayed to sometime in 2018, not this fall like was previously reported.
