You’re going to need a better sound system: Microsoft just announced that Spotify is coming to Xbox One . The announcement follows weeks of rumors, and a near two-year lag since the PlayStation 4 got access to the music streaming service back in 2015. Spotify will be available to download on Xbox One devices in 34 countries around the world starting today and the streaming service will work on the system regardless of whether you are a free or a Premium Spotify user.

The first total solar eclipse in 99 years to cross the US coast-to-coast will pass over 12 states later this month. Destined to be the most documented total solar eclipse ever, 2017’s event will start out as a cellphone phenomenon. But the question is: can networks cope with the surge of all those solar eclipse snaps and status updates? “We believe our networks can handle the additional capacity during the solar eclipse event,” said Karen Schulz, a spokesperson for Verizon. Madras will also host

No, this is a real story of a simple – and surprisingly affordable – technology I wish I could buy right now for my own car. The key part of the technology I used is that it can be installed in any car, making dumb cars somewhat smart. While the Audi A3 has a color display, Bluetooth connectivity and satellite navigation, it can’t be unlocked with a phone. The average install of a Quick Start Box takes around 30 minutes, and it can be done at the side of the car, on driveways and in carparks. Th

Hotspot Shield, one of the biggest names in the VPN world, has been accused of ‘unfair and deceptive trade practices’ by a pro-privacy non-profit organisation, including logging user connection data and utilizing elements like location to better serve adverts. Hotspot Shield, however, has denied any wrongdoing. In our VPN reviews, we always look closely at the privacy policy of any VPN firm, with a particular eye for making sure that any issues related to logging are clearly spelled out, and eve

So when Soco got in contact asking if I’d like to test out their new electric motorbike, the Super Soco TS1200R, I leapt at the chance. Charging the beastLike every electric vehicle, the Super Soco needs to be charged before you can use it. The Super Soco, in comparison, has just two wheels, and barely displaces any air. That said, for its intended purpose the Super Soco did an admirable job. What electric motorbikes need is their Tesla moment, and as much as I hate to say it I don’t think Super

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is sure to be a very expensive phone, but you might get more than just the handset for your money, with a report saying that the upcoming phablet will come with a free case thrown in. That’s according to ETNews, which says the case will be made of a transparent plastic material, designed to be as thin as possible while covering the back and sides of the Galaxy Note 8. It sounds like a basic case then, but one which should offer some protection without obscuring your pho

No, I wasn’t hungry – it was all thanks to the innovative technology used by indie game developer Ninja Theory. Rather than calling this an indie release, though, Ninja Theory has given Hellblade a category all of its own: Triple Indie. Understanding how to work on a smaller scale and keep your ambitions in check is part of this, but Ninja Theory also had some seriously cool tech on its side. Real-time cinematographyThe combination of facial and body motion-capture technology that Ninja Theory u

Dubbed Firefox 55 and launching August 8, the upgraded web browser for Windows PCs will now include WebVR — the platform that allows web browsers to function with VR headsets. Competing browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge added WebVR support earlier this year, so Firefox isn’t too far behind the trend of adding support for VR content over the web. However, VR isn’t the only feature coming with Firefox 55. While expected to debut tomorrow, it’s worth noting Firefox 55 may still take so

Though it’s come a long way since launch in 2014, Microsoft is still hard at work cleaning up the Xbox One’s trademark messy Home screen. In addition to the Home menu, the Community screen — where users share their game clips, achievements and other goings-on with each other — is also getting a revamp for easier browsing. It’s not just Xbox owners who will benefit from this update, either. Windows 10 users will also get a redesigned Game Bar feature that allows console and PC players to quickly

We weren’t sure if we’d get a good look at the LG V30 before its expected unveiling at IFA 2017, but that all changed today thanks to some leaked promo material. The images are courtesy of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s HitRecord, the media company working with LG to show off the new phone’s camera chops. As Droid Life spotted, the phone appears fully, front to back, several times in footage that was set live today and is now unpublished. The most prominent photos show off a phone that looks a lot like

Apple just joined the 21st Century by launching an official Instagram account. Apple’s Insta appears to be solely focused, at least for the time being, on highlighting “Shot on iPhone” photos and videos, images that are part of a campaign Apple launched to show off the snapping prowess of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Previously relegated mostly to billboards, Shot on iPhone has moved to a higher-tech and much cooler platform. The account currently features nine gallery posts, all having gone

Hot on the trail of the release of our first AMD Ryzen Threadripper benchmark results, Intel is firing back with the full specifications of its 18-core Extreme Edition processor.

You can now buy the OnePlus 5 in a soft gold hue, with the limited edition color going on sale later today, August 7. The new soft gold finish won’t be available on the 8GB RAM, 128GB storage OnePlus 5 though, which is only available in Midnight Black for £499 ($539, around AU$710). If this sounds familiar, it’s because OnePlus did exactly the same thing with the OnePlus 3 – and it also rolled out the color to the OnePlus 3T . Sales of the soft gold OnePlus begin at 9am PDT, 12pm EDT, 5pm BST to
