HMD Global, the licensee of the Nokia brand for phones, announced the Nokia X5 Thursday. It’s an Android Oreo phone that aims to bring a little iPhone X feel to a midrange device.  The 5.86-inch phone uses a notched 1,520×720-pixel resolution display giving it a 19:9 screen ratio, similar to what you’d find on Apple’s …

I really wish Amazon’s new Part Finder worked better, because it’s a great idea in theory — just take a picture of that oddball screw, with the Amazon Shopping app (on iOS) and it’ll theoretically show you a matching fastener you can order on the spot. But when I tried it today: I had to go get a white piece …

We could be watching movies on Walmart’s rumored video-streaming service by the end of this year. The big box giant plans to launch a subscription video platform through its Vudu division, Variety reported on Thursday. The news follows a similar report earlier this week that Walmart was considering a video service to go up against Netflix and e-commerce rival Amazon. Vudu …

Community-based Reddit chat rooms are being released to more subreddits each day, a year after beta tests began. Each subreddit can opt to add a chat room as a casual conversation alternative — one that doesn’t require refreshing to update — and it’ll be added to a directory.  Reddit product designer ityoclys outlined his experience of beta testing the new …

I’m going to be 50 this year (the horror, the horror), which means, among other things, I don’t “get” Snapchat. But the kids these days? Oh, yeah. And they’re just the intended audience for Snapchat Spectacles, which debuted in early 2017 and became an overnight Next Big Thing sensation. After that… well, mostly crickets. Maybe everyone realized $130 was a …

It’s no secret that Google has been quietly working on Fuchsia, a new experimental OS for tablets and phones. Here’s the secret, according to a Bloomberg report Thursday: Fuchsia could replace Android and Chrome OS within the next five years.  Mind you, that’s just the ambition, according to the report — and Google disputes that specific part; CNET understands there’s …

We may have answers as to why Amazon suffered glitches at the start of Prime Day on Monday.  The e-commerce giant didn’t have enough servers to handle all the traffic on its site during one of its biggest sales days of the year, according to internal documents obtained by CNBC. That led the company to launch a simpler backup front page …

Dark mode and Dynamic desktop are among the best features of MacOS Mojave, though I freely acknowledge that, unlike Stacks or the new and improved Finder, they do nothing to make your Mac more powerful or easier to use.

Facebook Messenger can now fill out your contact list by syncing with Instagram. You can find the “Connect Instagram” option under Messenger’s “People” tab, and use it to sync up your profile with your Instagram contacts.

Fingerprint-smudged smartphones may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to new technology from glass maker Corning.  Handset vendors like Apple and Samsung have been incorporating more and more glass in their phone designs over the past couple of years. While devices originally had glass just over the front touchscreen, designs now contain glass that curves around the edges …

It’s becoming clearer every day — the 2018 MacBook Pro “butterfly switch” keyboard was designed to resist dust and debris, and thus avoid the sticky key issue that sometimes plagued its predecessor.  Why would we say that, when Apple explicitly told us that the keyboard wouldn’t include any dust/debris fixes? For one thing, MacRumors reports that Apple is telling its own Canadian …
