Mercedes may have covered its luxury bases at the LA Auto Show 2014 with the opulent Mercedes-Maybach, but there’s plenty of performance on tap too from the new Mercedes-AMG GT S. The bright yellow coupe is rear-wheel drive and will hit forecourts in the spring of 2015, with Mercedes’ sports division looking to take on Aston Martin, Porsche, and Audi … Continue reading
This week Google released YouTube Music Key Beta, and this afternoon, Beta invites are being sent to users throughout the United States. Though it was originally assumed that only Google Music All Access subscribers would receive invitations to join the party at first, we’ve seen invites sent to all manner of users just this morning. If you’re invited, you’ll know … Continue reading
We told you in our Black Friday Prep Guide that you didn’t need an in-store plan of attack. Here’s why.
Since 1994, as far as movie theaters go, the IMAX at Lincoln Center in New York City is the best there is. With films projected on an enormous 100-foot screen, any viewing experience there certainly fits the bill as “larger than life.”
It’s not an easy time to be shopping for a new TV. Do you want that crisp 4K resolution , or a gorgeous new OLED display ? Unless you’ve got tens of thousands of dollars burning a hole in your pocket, you can’t have them both in the same screen. Which is why we decided to pit them against each other.
The inhabitants of three houses on a street in Knoxville, Tennessee, would have seemed perfectly average from the outside. Every morning, the showers came on. Every night, the lights and the TV. But there were never any humans living here—only robots pretending to act them.
Keeping auto journalists hydrated is no easy task. Their mouths are usually crammed full of some sort of food, and most are incapable of self-propelling to water sources. The LA Auto show solved that significant problem this year with advanced tech: a water-delivery robot.
Calling people outside the US isn’t as expensive as it used to be, but the charges can still add up; even the better deals at big American wireless carriers have you paying both a monthly rate and by the minute. T-Mobile thinks it can shake things up…
Say you’ve thought about getting an electric vehicle but didn’t want to take the plunge until you were absolutely certain that you wouldn’t wind up on the side of the highway with a dead battery. It’s a legitimate concern known as “range anxiety,”…
Walmart recently announced a price-matching promotion and said that it will offer customers the same price that they can get through certain online retailers, including Amazon. Looks like some customers used this to their advantage and actually tricked the retailer into selling PlayStation 4 consoles for a fraction of their original retail price. The full retail price for a PlayStation 4 console is $400, some have been able to get it from Walmart for just $90.
Customers who find a better price for a product on the select online retailers only need to show a screenshot of the page to a cashier at checkout in order to request a price match under Walmart promotion. The way this has been misused is shockingly simple.
Anyone who has ever used Amazon for selling products knows how easy it is for someone with a registered selling account to create authentic-looking pages and list items for sale.
Which is why people have taken advantage of listings for new PS4 consoles by third-party sellers on Amazon, which are quite likely to be fake, and claimed price match under Walmart’s promotion. The result? They’ve walked out with PlayStation units for just $90.
Multiple pictures have appeared on Twitter and Reddit showing receipts as well as PlayStation 4 units which were purchased for the aforementioned price. It appears that the cashiers at those Walmart locations didn’t check to see whether the price being quoted online was actually correct before matching it.
This probably won’t work anymore because Walmart might have heard about this scam by now, but it still hasn’t issued a formal statement as yet, and neither has Amazon.
