As soon as my husband and I got the keys to our first house, my mind was overflowing with ideas. I was already planning how to arrange what little furniture we had, color schemes and where to find the best accent pieces to make the rooms cozy. Once I’d got past my delusion that unpacking …

Instagram has kicked a marketing startup off its platform after determining it improperly collected user data.

Samsung’s second 5G phone, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G, has arrived. Like the first device, the Galaxy S10 5G, it’s launching exclusively on Verizon’s network in the US before heading to other carriers. Unlike the Galaxy S10 5G, the 5G version of the Note 10 is simply a Plus model with an extra cellular chip, not a supercharged phone. …

Cheeps! I’m back from across the pond. Here’s what I learned on my summer vacation (aside from the fact that London is awesome): AirPods aren’t good for airplanes. I mean, I kind of knew that already, but these flights confirmed it. AirPods offer zero noise isolation, meaning you have to crank the volume against engine noise, crying babies, and so …

Samsung is bolstering its partnership with Microsoft through a new series of apps and features such as OneDrive storage for photos and better syncing between the phone and computer. The new features, designed for the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus, will also help Samsung to better take on the iPhone. Samsung and Microsoft said they’ve worked together to offer …

Lyft’s second spin around the block has been slightly smoother than its first. The ride-hailing company said that its revenue rose 72 percent year-over-year in its second-quarter earnings. It still had losses of $644.2 million, however. Lyft debuted on Wall Street on March 29 with a strong first day of trading and its share price rising nearly 9%. But it’s struggled …

Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Watch Active 2 smartwatch just six months after the Galaxy Watch Active was released at the Galaxy S10 event in February, and two days before its expected Note 10 launch event. It’s not common to get a sequel in the same year as the original, but Samsung is bending the rules. Just like the company’s Note phone and Galaxy …

Facebook said Tuesday it’s suing two app developers in Asia for making money from advertising fraud, highlighting how the social network is cracking down on abuse on the platform. The app developers LionMobi in Hong Kong and JediMobi in Singapore released apps on the Google Play Store that infected a user’s phone with malware to make it appear as if …

The Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus are packed full of features and specs, but there’s one new trick for the S Pen die-hards among you that Samsung hopes you’ll love. The digital stylus can now control the Note with gestures. Last year’s Note 9 introduced a Bluetooth connection that makes it possible to take photos from afar by clicking …

Samsung’s summer Unpacked event, traditionally the company’s annual unveiling of its big-screen Galaxy Note line of phones, brought us the Galaxy Note 10. We went into the event with some big expectations for it. The event took place just weeks after the company announced that the Galaxy Fold will relaunch sometime in September after fixing problems with the screen. But the Note, which …

It’s official: Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 has become the company’s first flagship phone to ship without a headphone jack, following other phones designed to work primarily with wireless Bluetooth headphones, such as the Apple iPhone and forthcoming Galaxy Fold.

Google is apparently stepping up its game when it comes to the screen for its next flagship handset. The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will have 5.7- and 6.3-inch OLED displays, respectively, that feature a refresh rate of 90Hz, or 90 frames per second, according to 9to5Google. This higher refresh rate, which Google is reportedly calling “Smooth Display,” puts …

Microsoft contractors listen to recordings of some Skype conversations to help improve its translation feature, Motherboard reported Wednesday. Skype’s website does state it “collects and uses” conversations that utilize the translation feature in order to improve products and services, but according to Motherboard it doesn’t specify that this includes human review. Microsoft’s practice with Skype appears similar that of Apple, Amazon and …

Samsung on Wednesday unveiled a quick scanning feature to its new Galaxy Note 10 phone that lets you walk around an object and quickly get a seemingly photo-realistic 3D scan of it in seconds.  During a demo at the Note 10 launch event, Samsung’s 3D scanner app created a virtual version of a stuffed pink animal called Bobby. By pacing …
