Amazon could shake up the tablet market with a higher-end model running real Android

Amazon TL;DR Amazon is reportedly working on a higher-end Android tablet codenamed Kittyhawk. Sources claim that the company is tossing around the idea of a $400 price tag.

Amazon goes after the iPad market as it plans $400 Android tablet

Amazon Fire tablets have so far been cheap and cheerful devices, often bought for children. Running a heavily-customized version of Android known as Fire OS, they haven’t achieved much traction in the market … The company is now hoping to change all that with a new tablet aiming to compete in the same premium market as the base model iPad. Reuters doesn’t have many details, but says that it will run a more standard version of Android and will cost around $400. As part of a project known inter

The biggest bet in tech

The biggest bet in tech right now isn’t a deliberate decision, but rather the result of company cultures that were a benefit until they weren’t. The result? Apple and Amazon will miss AI like Intel missed mobile. Tim Cook and Andy Jassy “CEOs of Apple and Amazon” both agree that AI is a paradigm shift, “as big or bigger than the internet.” But the strategies their companies are betting on (which they both doubled down on in their latest earnings calls!) imply that AI will be a commodity rather

'War of the Worlds' Isn’t Just Bad. It’s Also Shameless Tech Propaganda

“Here we go” is both the first line of the 2025 Amazon Prime movie War of the Worlds and exactly what I said when I chose to watch it after the shitstorm of reviews that warned me not to. Directed by Rich Lee and shot exclusively through online calls and surveillance feed POVs, War of the Worlds centers around domestic terror analyst William Radford, played by Ice Cube, who is on a mission to save his family and the country from alien cyborgs who are deadset on eating our data. Literally. At f

Twelve South’s 120W charger with Apple Find My support is nearly half off

This is a new low price for this high-end configuration. Although the 50W variant was recently on sale for just $19.99, it’s since increased to $5

The new War of the Worlds movie is even more terrible than you’ve heard but also hilarious

There’s a micro-genre of film called “screenlife movies,” where all of the action takes place on a desktop computer. In 2014, Unfriended made a horror movie out of video chat and text messages, and it was successful enough to inspire a sequel. The more thoughtful Searching from 2018, in which a father attempts to find his missing daughter, felt novel and a bit more promising for the genre, even if an hour and a half really tested the amount of time you could look at a scrunched John Cho and Mac

Amazon's New Alexa AI Sounds Like a Dystopian Nightmare

In the age of the AI boom, it seems that everything's getting a makeover. The ill-defined software has totally revamped perfectly good products, from workout apps to creative programs like Adobe's Photoshop to search engines like Google — unless you're totally unplugged from the internet, the stuff is nearly unavoidable. So it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the brain trust behind Amazon's Alexa embraced it, too. Now 11 years old, the all-seeing living room assistant is getting a fre

The MacBook Pro 14 with M4 is one of our top laptop recommendations for students, and it’s currently $1,299 ($300 off), an all-time low price at Amazon and Best Buy. In our tests, Apple’s entry-level pro laptop was powerful enough to process high-resolution raw files in Adobe’s Lightroom Classic without slowing down. It also easily clears the system requirements to play last month’s port of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate to MacOS. The laptop has a 14.2-inch high resolution (3024 x 1964) 120Hz Mini-LE

Watch Prime Video's official trailer for Upload's final season

Amazon has just dropped a trailer for the final season of Upload, the tech-centric comedy about a digital afterlife that's way too real at times (mild spoilers ahead). Created by Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation, King of the Hill), it's set in an advanced future replete with things like holographic phones, killer self-driving cars and (killer) AI assistants. But since this advanced technology is run by the same irresponsible bros we have in charge today, naturally things go spectac
