Why a OnePlus ban could ruin Android phones in the US as we know them

Ryan Haines / Android Authority OnePlus 13 OnePlus has seen better days in the US, but it’s still one of the best alternative brands in the market.

This isn’t just potentially bad news for OnePlus; it could also have awful ramifica

Zombie Dong Will Return in ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’

Two topics of conversation dominated the opening weekend of Danny Boyle’s new film, 28 Years Later. One, that wild ending that introduced a seemingly out-of-place controversial new character.

As one would be if you’d been running around killing people as a zombie for 30 years. That means, yes, there’s lots of nudity in th

But in its final episode, GQuuuuuuX played with its nostalgic sensibilities one last time to imagine fo
