The first pitching machine dates back well over 100 years. Obviously things have come a long way since that injury-inducing, gunpowder-fueled machine made its debut at Princeton University, but most modern systems are more or less the same. A ball is manually or mechanically dropped into a spinning

I have a confession to make. I've been in this industry for a long time. I've reviewed hundreds of products over the years. Through much of that time, webcams have always felt like a bit of an afterthought. I fully recognize that this quite probably is the worst way to open a webcam review,

We've had a Samsung review blitz over the past two weeks, covering all the products the company announced at its recent Unpacked event. In my write-up of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, I noted how understated the product line was, in contrast to its flash, bombastic foldables. The Galaxy Watch line, me

Galaxy Buds are the longtime workhorse of Samsung's premium line. Perhaps the fact that they're nearly always launched as a kind of afterthought to flashier phablets and foldables. Maybe it's the fact that they've always kind of been quietly good and therefore not deserving of an ov

Apple just dropped event invites for its annual iPhone unveiling. The big event is set for September 7 — a rare Wednesday announcement for the company, likely owing to the Labor Day holiday on the 5th. The news confirms earlier reports of the non-Tuesday date. Following the trend set by the s

It's not confirmation of a rumored Amazon acquisition, but Peloton this morning confirmed that it has begun selling select equipment and apparel through the retailer. Starting today, Amazon customers can buy select products, including the Peloton bike, set-top Peloton Guide, clothing and brande

It’s still early days for quantum computing, but we’re currently seeing rapid improvements in the underlying hardware and software foundations for this new computing paradigm. Just like during the early days of classical computing, different hardware players are betting on very differen

Four months after opening its Self Service Repair offerings to iPhone owners in the U.S., Apple is adding a handful of MacBooks to the mix. When the laptop repair program opens tomorrow, it will include the 2020 M1 MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro and the 14- and 16-inch 2021 M1 Pros. As with th

One doubts Samsung's convictions at their own peril. The company will be the first to point to the O.G. Note phablet as the ultimate expression of this phenomenon. The line may be gone, having been absorbed into the flagship Galaxy S product, but its influence on the industry is still being fel

I have been carrying both of Samsung's new foldables on my person when I leave the house for the last few days. It's mostly for testing purposes, of course, but there's also a fun game I like to play when I see people I know. I pull them both out, stick them in front of the person and s

Snap may have flown a bit too close to the sun in its development of the palm-sized selfie drone, Pixy. Following a late-April announcement, the social media firm has already begun pumping the brakes on the project, per a Wall Street Journal report. CEO Evan Spiegel has apparently relayed the messa

The power grid supply in Africa is erratic and inconsistent, affecting rural and urban households and businesses. For restaurants or neighborhood stores dealing with perishables, frozen foods and beverages, having intermittent electricity inhibits the growth of their businesses. Some of them turn t
