I find it stupid that people buy things with "google pay" instead of using an actual credit card. What if your phone gets stolen or hacked. At least with a credit card you can hide it in a wallet. And people can't hack into a card.

The new iphone 7 is going to have problems like always with every iphone, theyre going to have to make a few adjustments during the release. Its never perfect. why pay for a iphone 7 when you can get an iphone 6s or 6s plus with the same features.

Like waving your phone at a cash register is too much work. Now you can facially recognize tto pay your bills.

I do admit that the rumors for the new Iphone do sound compelling!

Not too reassuring that a police drone can be 'hacked'. If so, then how about a self-driving car?

Well, the NASA astronaut is back, after a year.

Kind of cute that little kids are asking the astronaut questions.

Very cool that you can play Minecraft on Oculus Rift.

google's hand free payment app is sound so convenient its quick and easy hands free. Google uses your Bluetooth low energy, Wi-Fi and location services on the handset. All you have to do is have your bluetooth connected and the app will detect whether you are close a store. Then the cashier will ask for your initials and will confirm your identity with your profile picture on the app.

Every new iphone is getting thinner as time goes.
