Apple's newest laptop is impossibly thin, incredibly light and has a screen that's to die for. Oh yeah, it also comes in gold. Yes, there are compromises — and no, this is not the notebook for every user. But make no mistake, the new MacBook represents the new direction for laptops. SIZE and WEIGHT Weighing in at just 2 pounds and a hair over half an inch thick (at its chunkiest point), the

The Lykan HyperSport premiered at the International Dubai Motor Show in 2013. Top speed is 239 mph, with a 0 to 60 sprint time of 2.8 seconds. The car is rumored to have diamond and titanium accents in its headlights. Price: $3.4 million. Ferrari’s LaFerrari hybrid was unveiled during the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. It’s based in large part on the famous Ferrari FXX, with a body

The final version of Windows 10 won't be available until 2015, but that doesn't mean you can't live the Windows 10 experience -- the extremely pre-final experience -- right now. The technical preview is available right now and although things will likely change drastically between now and release, now's a good chance to get acquainted. And keep checking back. As the months close in

Enter Arizona State University engineering student Jason Kerestes and his 4MM (4 Minute Mile) project, which gives runners the speed boosts they need to get to 15 mph by attaching a jetpack to their lower backs for instant thrust. Because Kerestes wants to propel people forward instead of up into the sky, the 4MM jetpack thrusters feature dual-jet nozzles that face behind the runner to

Apple is all set for the launch of its new iPhone 6 scheduled for 9th September with two variants; one coming with a screen size of 4.7” and the other with a screen size of 5.5”. Some new images have surfaced showing how the iPhone 6 will look like. According to some sources, Apple has fired the engineer who is believed to have leaked the pictures. The name and identity of the engineer

Electric cars can be environmentally friendly and economically responsible, but they're not necessarily known for being flashy. Volvo is now trying to change that by introducing a new portable electric charger for your car.The stately charger, which looks a bit like a futuristic flower, has an inner lattice-work which is filled with solar panels to catch the sun at every angle, thus recharging

This video not only lays out Volvo's strategy, but mirrors the work other automakers are doing that will eventually result in autonomous cars. The video begins with Thomas Broberg, Volvo's senior safety adviser, outlining six technologies that Volvo has deployed or is developing.

Today Google introduced the Chromecast, a sticklike device that connects to one of your TV's HDMI inputs and accepts video wirelessly pushed from smartphones, tablets, and the Chrome browser. It's available for just $35 starting today from the Google Play store in the U.S., with availability in other countries to follow. The compact 2-inch device will work with Netflix, YouTube, Google Play

The Apple-Samsung war extends far beyond smartphones and patents. Fortune on Monday released its Global 500, a ranked list of the world's biggest companies by revenue. Samsung Electronics nabbed the 14th spot in the list with revenue of $178.6 billion last year. Apple was close behind in 19th place with $156.5 billion in revenue.Samsung jumped from 20th place last year, after securing $

Granted Tuesday by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, a patent dubbed "Programmable tactile touch screen displays and man-machine interfaces for improved vehicle instrumentation and telematics" (patent number 8,482,535) describes a tactile-feel touch screen that would let you adjust several of the key features and functions in your car. The patent discusses such options as controlling the

In order to identify the genetic causes of early puberty, the researchers conducted a gene sequence analysis of 40 members of 15 families with central precocious puberty.Their results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, reveal that the gene MKRN3, which is passed along by the father, is the culprit. The researchers found that four mutations of the MKRN3 gene cause early

Samsung has been flaunting its flexible OLED displays for quite some time, but until now the technology seemed to be geared toward smartphones rather than TVs. While the Korea-based manufacturer has been teasing the idea of a virtually unbreakable handset for more than a year, there’s no indication as to when this technology could launch.According to the pantent, future Samsung TV owners would

Apple's new handsets are likely to launch around September, the analyst believes, based on the meetings in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The information aligns with a separate report published last Tuesday that claimed Sharp would begin mass production of so-called "iPhone 5S" LCD displays in June.In addition to the anticipated iPhone 5 successor, Apple is also rumored to be working on a new low-end

T-Mobile began selling the iPhone less than one month ago on April 12, with Apple's handset debuting on $99 upfront fee, with the remaining device cost to be amortized in $20 installments spread over the following 20 months.The Un-Carrier was the last of the big-four U.S. telecoms to strike a deal with Apple to sell the iPhone. Although T-Mobile suffered a year-to-year financial dip,

Five-inch smartphones with 1080p displays aren’t uncommon now, but Sharp‘s new AQUOS Phone Xx SoftBank 206SH does have one advantage: enough battery life to get it through a promised two full days. The new handset, part of Japanese carrier SoftBank’s Summer 2013 line-up, uses a combination of old and new tech to help subscribers skip the overnight charge, with a huge battery paired with a

The product:  The VT60 is an excellent plasma with perhaps the best image quality you'll see this year not powered by light-emitting diodes. It is a shade better than the Kuro we've been using as a reference these long years, it beats the Samsung F8500 in critical dim-room viewing situations, and it's demonstrably better than the ST60. It boasts industry-leading black levels, illuminating

The product:  Kindle's in-book experience is as straightforward as it gets. To turn the page, simply swipe or tap somewhere in the margin. A tap to the center of the page brings up a status bar with location information and reader controls. There's also a menu at the top of your screen, in case you want to change text size, brightness, margins, line spacing, or background color. For now,

The product:  One of the best things about Google Search is Google Now. Often misunderstood as a standalone Siri-style app, Google Now is actually a set of intelligent personal assistant features that are built right into the Google Search app. These features are only available to users with Android Jelly Bean and higher. Meanwhile, on iOS, Google Now is available to essentially all users (

The product:  The shiny plastic headphone's build quality is nothing special. The Zoro HDs fold up into a fairly small bundle for compact storage, but the plastic hinges are the obvious weak point in the design. After folding and unfolding the headphones many times they still seem fine, but anyone who treats their headphones roughly may have problems with this or any $100 hinged

The product:  The XPS 18 looks like a smaller all-in-one desktop at first glance. Sitting on a hefty industrial-looking stand is a featureless black screen, with only a Dell logo in the upper left corner and a Windows 8 flag logo below the screen. From the side, it's as thin as or thinner than most non-tablet all-in-one systems, and feels designed to fade nicely into the background. An

The product:  Asustor AS-604T NAS server comes with no storage included, but it's very fast to install your own hard drives, thanks to the front-facing drive bays. Each of these bays includes a tray that can be easily unlocked and pulled out. After that it's simple to assemble a standard 3.5-inch hard drive on it. There are more than enough screws included for all four hard drives, always a

The product:  In one sense, the IdeaPad Z400 has a clean, not unattractive design. A matte chocolate-brown lid and two-tone silver and black plastic inside give the impression of something higher-end. But it's the fit and finish here that runs cheap. Everything's plastic, not metal. Also, this laptop is seriously thick and heavy: over 1 inch thick and 5.3 pounds. The 15.6-inch-screen Asus

The product:  Like a lot of these Bluetooth speakers that don't feature any sort of dock, the SRS-BTX500 has a clean, sleek look, and the speaker is a classic example of Sony's design prowess. If there's a fault, it's that the matte finish on the back scratches pretty easily if you rub it up against a rough or sharp surface. But otherwise it's really nice. It has a bit of brushed metal on
