Asus is out. If reports are true the company will no longer make smartwatches that run the Android Wear operating system. Officially last year Motorola also bowed out -- especially surprising given it was the first, and much hyped, manufacturer to hit the Wear market with the (quite beautiful) Moto 360. Then...

Here's a simple solution to getting around the MacBook Pro's USB-C port limitation. I'm like you -- or maybe at least a handful of you risk-taking, crazy, early adopters. I took the plunge late last year and finally replaced my aging MacBook Air (2012) with a (controversial) 15" MacBook Pro (2016). Yes,...

But, indeed, after finally relenting, and trying out an Apple Watch for a few weeks, this former Pebbler believes it to be the best available option on the market today....

Android Wear 2.0 is here. The big question, however, is if anybody really cares about Google's second attempt to win over smartwatch customers. By Google standards, the Wear 2.0 launch was surprisingly low key. No fancy presentations. No keynotes. No live singers. And certainly no daredevil like stunts featuring skydivers and...
