Amazon Kindle Scribe review: Good hardware, middling software
The Kindle has long been the go-to e-reader for those willing to work within Amazon’s ecosystem of products. The latest in the lineup, the Kindle Scribe, however, is…different.

It comes with a stylus that lets you take notes, draw sketches, and even write entire pages of text.
Phiaton BonoBuds review: Decent earbuds at a great price
While the likes of Apple, Bose, and Samsung make all the wireless earbud-related news these days, they’re not the only companies out there with something to offer.

These new iPhone models mark Apple’s first big smartphone redesign since 2017 when the iPhone X first debuted. Not only do Apple’s latest iPhones sport a new look, but it’s also actually a fairly substantial redesign.

Netflix’s new edge-of-your-seat action thriller jumped to #1 on the charts
It can sometimes be difficult to predict which new releases on Netflix will have the biggest impact on the service’s top 10 list, but maybe we should’ve guessed that an action movie with Taken star Liam Neeson would take off.

If you want to know what exactly everyone is talking about at work, you might want to stream it this week.
Netflix app update adds an awesome new feature, but not for iPhones
We’ve been downloading Netflix shows and movies to smartphones and tablets for almost five years, with Netflix expanding the feature to Windows 10 PCs as well. On top of that, recent Netflix app updates have added several features to improve offline viewing functionality.

The app can even suggest what to download and watch next, based on your preferences.

As with any new software, the reaction was mixed, but no one had actually gotten their hands on the operating system yet.

Epic speed test pits Apple's iPhone 12 against an original iPhone – BGR
When Steve Jobs introduced the original iPhone in 2007, he famously boasted that Apple’s new smartphone was five years ahead of the competition.

FDA just approved its a weight loss drug that’s being called a game-changer
The obesity rate in the United States is climbing at an absolutely incredible pace. It’s estimated that roughly 40% of all adults in the United States are obese, and a further 30% are at least overweight.

Being overweight or obese dramatically increases the odds of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, heart disease, and even certain cancers.

It goes without saying that 2020 was a bizarre year for everyone reading this right now. Because of the pandemic, our lives were changed in countless ways and we continue to feel the sting now, in early 2021.
