Apple #Bendgate: No, That’s Not an iPhone 6 Plus Feature

Sep 24, 2014  |   Contributor: JL Staff

We were just as jazzed as the next person to hear Apple announce the iPhone 6, 6 Plus and Apple Watch, but it looks like the Apple 6 Plus couldn't handle the pressure (literally). Several new reports are making it clear that Apple might have skimped on everyday wear-and-tear testing with their super skinny new release. Apparently, many of the lucky fans to have already picked up the new smartphone are pulling it out of their pockets to find the frame bent.... Read More

Does the Roomba Stand a Chance Against the Robotic Dyson 360 Eye?

Sep 23, 2014  |   Contributor: JL Staff

If we were to say a Dyson sucked, it wouldn’t be an insult, it would be a compliment. Known for revolutionizing vacuuming technology, Dyson has done it again with the design of a reliable and pretty powerful vacuum that’ll suck all on its own, making your life a little easier and a little less...well, sucky. Similar to a Roomba, but backed with the power of Dyson, the not-even-available-yet Dyson 360 Eye will do more than push around dirt and entertain the cat.... Read More

Sep 17, 2014  |   Contributor: Djani Schafer

We were all in a tizzy over Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 6 Plus last week and were a little surprised at the reasonable $499 price tag for 128GB (with a two-year agreement, naturally)—after all, it comes with a longer battery life, upgraded camera, and faster CPU. Those interested in better video quality don’t necessarily have to upgrade just yet though. ... Read More
