If the price tag of a new phone makes you sweat, you're not alone.Since all four major carriers have done away with their device subsidies, US consumers for the first time are seeing how much their fancy phones actually cost. And it's not pretty. While we've all been trained to lust for the latest Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy gadget, which cost a small fortune, the reality is that you can still get a pretty sophisticated, good-quality phone for a fraction of the price. In this edition of Ask Maggie, I spell out options for a frugal shopper. Dear Maggie,My old phone is on the fritz. I need a new one stat, but the prices are horrifying. I've heard old iPhones drop in price right after the ne...

Nobody likes getting socked with a charge for going over a monthly wireless data cap. And thanks to changes made by the nation's two largest carriers, those days may be over forever.Earlier this summer AT&T and Verizon said they'd eliminate charges for customers who bust their data caps, in exchange for slowing service to 2G speeds. It's a policy competitors T-Mobile and Sprint have offered for years. And it's likely to be a welcome change for many customers, who cringe every month when the phone bill arrives. But are the two big carriers really offering a good deal? In this edition of Ask Maggie, I help answer that question. Dear Maggie,I have two teenagers on my Verizon family plan, a...

MIT recently unveiled Duoskin, and even though it looks like a simple fashion accessory, these faux tattoos have some cool functions: they're coected, and can receive input, coect wirelessly, and even light up with the right setup. We're also checking out a new HoloLens demo from N3S, an NES emulator team tuing 2D NES titles into slightly 3D experiences. The demo is in alpha, but it's another exciting showcase for what Microsoft's augmented-reality headset is capable of. ...

Happy National Vinyl Record Day!You might assume milleials are the ones lining up on Record Store Day to drop coin on the latest special edition, 180-gram, splatter-paint record of the month, but you'd be wrong -- at least in the United Kingdom.According to a new study by market research company YouGov, UK music fans between the ages of 45 and 54 are actually more likely to hit record stores in search of vinyl. By contrast, the study found 18- to 24-year-olds are least likely to purchase vinyl, suggesting last year's sales explosion could be attributed to vinyl nostalgia rather than discovery. The study also unearthed two very bleak statistics that are depressing enough to make any collector...

Enlarge Image Richard Heathcote, Getty Images Some athletes at the Rio Olympics have taken swipes at competitors from other nations -- but that's not the only swiping going on.The 11,000-plus athletes competing in the 2016 Olympic games have given Tinder's Brazil business a big boost. Matches in the Olympic Village have increased by 129 percent, Rosette Pambakian, VP of Global Communications & Branding at Tinder, said to the Associated Press. It appears such activities weren't totally unexpected. The Olympic organisers prepared 450,000 condoms for athletes to use, according to the publication. That truckl...

I fell in love with music at a very young age. I can remember sitting in my parent's living room, listening to the crackle and pop that accompanied each new song, only to be replaced with a thumping drum intro or a sick guitar lick that seemed to leap from our Klipsch coer hos. This experience stuck with me through the introduction of cassette tapes, CDs and finally the current digital-music age. The convenience and quality of digital music is unparalleled, but with the recent resurgence of records -- and as any vinyl enthusiasts (and certain audiophiles) will tell you -- vinyl has a special sound that digital music just can't capture or replicate. I'm not immune to its pull; I've recent...

Thanks a lot, Steven Spielberg and John Williams, for forever creeping us out about sharks. Spielberg's 1975 movie "Jaws" wouldn't have been quite as terrifying without Williams' "duun dun" music, and we all know it. Now a study published Wednesday in the joual PLOS One has quantified our quivering. Researchers from UC San Diego and Harvard showed 2,100 people a shark clip from the BBC's "Blue Planet" documentary series and either set it to ominous or uplifting music or let it run silently. "Participants who viewed a video clip set to ominous music rated sharks more negatively and less positively than those who watched the same clip set to uplifting music or to silence," the researchers ...

Worried you aren't getting enough exercise this summer? Don't just sit there: Clip on a fitness tracker and get going.Fitness trackers are wearable devices that deliver a stream of data about your workouts, like the number of steps you've walked or the total calories you've bued, and nearly all of them can sync over Bluetooth with your smartphone, letting you review these vitals while on the go. But once you have all that data, what's the next step?Many to choose fromYou have a lot of options for fitness trackers, but I'll focus on two of the most popular brands: Fitbit and Jawbone. Fitbit, which introduced its first tracker in 2008, sells its One ($100 in the US, £80 in the UK and AU$130 in...

[embedded content] They had me at Rocket-ing. Saturday night during the Marvel panel at Comic-Con, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige had some epic (also: amazing, exciting, squeal-inducing) aouncements, including the big one that Disney's Califoia Adventure is headed for space. During the panel, it was aounced that Guardians of the Galaxy -- Mission: Breakout will be coming to the theme park in 2017, presumably around the same time as the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" releases on May 5, 2017. Sadly though, it looks like this'll be replacing Tower of Terror, which means I'm now conflicted in my excitement for the new ride. Here are som...

The Polaris seen here is the first playable side-by-side buggy in a Forza Horizon game, and not a moment too soon. With plenty of off-roading to do around Australia (the game's set in Australia, if you didn't know), the Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS is both a handful on the dirt and a mouthful when you're trying to say it out loud. Let's block ads! بخوانید...
