From PC Mag: Nintendo is trying incredibly hard to make sure you have at least one Nintendo-branded piece of hardware under the Christmas tree this year. Not content with offering the Switch, the SNES Classic, and the 2DS XL, the Japanese company decided to bring a SNES-themed 3DS XL to the US as...
From CNET: In another classic case of now-you-see-it, now-you-don't, the entry-level Nokia 2 Android phone briefly appeared on retailer B&H's website before being removed, according to Android Headlines.
A search result for the white version of the phone was still available on Google at the time of...
From CNET: Outspoken T-Mobile CEO John Legere is playing it low-key this time.
On Monday, the "Un-carrier" posted third-quarter results -- usually a chance for Legere to jump on a conference call to crow about the company's performance or to bash its competitors. But aside from a seven-minute...
From The Verge: The patent battle between Apple and Samsung over who owns the concept of smartphones with round corners (among other things) is back for another trial. The lawsuit was originally settled in 2012, with a court ordering Samsung to pay Apple more than $1 billion in damages. This figure...
From PC Mag: If you hadn't noticed, Apple is increasingly focusing on mobile devices in recent years. The iPhone, iPad, and MacBook range continue to receive regular updates.

"I could not start my computer," my supervisor said with a tone of worry in his voice. "Is there any way to retrieve my data?" "Did you back up your data?" I asked him. "No," he replied. Does that seem like a scenario you can relate to? From my colleague Ben's recent article on the Acronis True Image 2018 to my quest to build the 32TB network attached storage system a few months ago, everyone here at APH Networks -- and I would say, across the...
I found Kickstarter to be a great idea. It allows for entrepreneurs to demonstrate and market their product to a community, and then if the community is interested, the entrepreneur is able to get the funding needed to sell their product. Unfortunately, this also opens up plenty of avenues for abuse. There have been projects that were fully funded, only for the people creating the product to disappear with the money. There were also times when...
From PC Mag: Someone at MSI messed up yesterday it seems, and went live with a video detailing a new fanless line of mini desktop PCs. We don't mind the leak, though, as MSI looks to have used Intel's 7th Gen Kaby Lake processors to create a completely silent desktop machine.
The video was...
From The Verge: The squeeze functionality on HTC’s U11 and Google’s new Pixel phones is undeniably odd, but HTC’s implementation has the advantage for one reason: the U11 lets you map the squeeze to different functions, while the Pixel 2 only silences calls or summons Google Assistant. Well, not any...
From CNET: In early October, Congress grilled Equifax's former CEO, Richard Smith, in four separate committee hearings about how his credit reporting agency put the consumer records of over 145 million people in jeopardy.
We'll be feeling the effects for "essentially a hundred years, until...
