Last week Sprint announced its first iPhone 8 launch deal with 50% off an 18-month lease for Apple’s entry level flagship. The company also touted its “Best Price Guarantee” with that promotion, and today Sprint has officially upgraded its offer by giving trade-in customers a free iPhone 8. On its iPhone 8 promotion page, Sprint says “We simply won’t be beat by other national carriers,” and the company was quick to take action on this promise after announcing last week’s deal....

In 1991, the game show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?...

Google loves to highlight its work getting Chromebooks into the hands of business customers and a lot of the time that also means a switch from Windows and Microsoft Office products to Chrome OS and Google Apps. It’s not as often, however, that we hear about companies that decide to replace their Macs with Chromebooks. Today Google published a guest blog post from CIO of digital creative group Fred & Farid Group about the company’s decision to do exactly that, replace Macs with Chromebooks for around 60 percent of its employees:...

Google, Samsung, and several other Android handset manufacturers are being sued by Rockstar, a consortium backed by Apple and several other tech companies, over alleged infringement of several search patents acquired by Rockstar from Nortel in 2011. Last year HTC reached a ten-year agreement with Apple as part of a patent infringement settlement. That deal would result in both companies licensing existing and future patents from one another, but it seems that agreement does not apply in this case....

Even as George R.R. Martin celebrated the announcement of the new Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon, he also promised fans that he would not write for the show until Winds of Winter is completed.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is available to play now for everyone who purchased the ultimate edition, and those players are quickly finding out the game has microtransactions for just about everything. Although developer Ubisoft has previously stated they wanted Breakpoint to revolutionize the shooter genre, early looks at the title have seen it bearing many marked similarities to Ubisoft’s other microtransaction-riddled series Assassin’s Creed. The decline of single-player DLC and rise of the “games as a service” model has led to many changes in the way games are marketed and produced over the past few years, one such result being the fact that this new Ghost Recon game is always online, similar to other Tom Clancy-brand titles The Division and Rainbow Six Siege....

Another Golden Globe Awards ceremony has come and past. Ricky Gervais loaded up on the burns, Ellen Degeneres and Tom Hanks received honorary awards, and 1917 walked away with the coveted Best Picture title.

While TV actors are also important to the ceremony, we will be focusing exclusively on film actors here....

Google’s Project Zero, a team focused on discovering vulnerabilities in others companies’ software, appears set to release an exploit it recently found in iOS 11. While the vulnerability has been patched with iOS 11.2, the exploit may allow for the first publicly available jailbreak for iOS 11. As mentioned by Motherboard, it may sound curious to hear that Google, one of Apple’s biggest competitors was researching iOS vulnerabilities. However, this is exactly what Project Zero is designed to do, and one of its security researchers, Ian Beer, is a renowned iOS bug hunter....

Google announced on the Official Google Blog earlier this month that it will retire Google Reader on July 1, 2013, but the brains behind Reeder, a Google Reader client, clarified that development of its apps will continue after July 1.

This is so you can have an idea of what you can expect from a GUI git client. I, personally, prefer the command-line; however, there are times where GUIs can be extremely useful for more complicated stuff. In addition to standalone apps, many IDEs have tools that interact with the repository that your files are in. IDEs will typically have support for other version control systems such as SVN and Mercurial as well....

As expected, Google just started rolling out its brand new inbox to iOS users after first introducing us to the new category-based design last week.
