The $300 Nintendo Switch has been great for my relationship
I've owned the Nintendo Switch for only two weeks, but I'm already smitten. This is easily my favorite piece of new tech in 2017 and my favorite Nintendo console ever. It's not perfect by any means, but this unusual piece of hardware has already changed the way I live, and it has brought me closer to my fiancée, who before the Switch's arrival was never into modern video-game consoles. What's more, this little system has tremendous potential to do even more in the future. Here's what I mean: ..>> view originalTrump's budget proposal to limit NASA's role in climate science

Siri on iOS just became bedfellows with a major voice assistant competitor. Amazon has finally brought Alexa to iOS devices by virtue of its shopping app. This gives iOS users access to Alexa's many features anywhere, anytime. Some iOS users may already have the dedicated Alexa app for iOS installed, but that's mostly for managing Alexa-enabled devices such as the Echo. This new integration with the Amazon app will let users bark orders at Alexa even when an Echo device isn't within proximity. ..>> view originalSnapdragon 200-tier chips to become Qualcomm Mobile
Qualcomm has announced that its Snapdragon branding will now apply only to premium processors, while those in the 200 tier will be relabelled under the new "Qualcomm Mobile" brand in an effort to differentiate their value -- with the chip giant also moving away from processor branding towards "platforms".

In Mass Effect: Andromeda, the planet scanning system is back, but in godawful condition, withholding even the shallow satisfaction of Getting A Thing behind long, unskippable travel scenes and underwhelming feedback. It turns space exploration into a chore and supplants curiosity with misery. It might seem like a trivial complaint, but we're only able to discuss the beginning of the game—which we have mixed feelings on—and I actually liked planet scanning in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. ..>> view originalSamsung just accidentally confirmed a huge Galaxy S8 feature
Samsung buried the name Bixby inside a local privacy page, practically confirming the name of the voice-based virtual assistant that we expect to see in the Galaxy S8. This isn’t the first time we see evidence that links Bixby to Samsung’s assistant innovations, but it’s the first time Samsung has actually used it in its documentation.
