Remember when Netflix dropped half of its catalog to free up funds? A reasonable move, considering how much Netflix spends on original content.

Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, and other vendors have been releasing patches all day to help protect users from this vulnerability. Some of th...

Google Home ($49 – $129) Last Christmas  was all about the Amazon Echo , and we have a feeling that this one will be all about Google Home. Or at least it can be for your friend who already  uses Google Assistant on their Android phone . utting up a Google Assistant-enabled smart speaker in the living room or the kitchen can be super helpful.
