Instagram Direct Messages could be coming to desktop, web soon

Mark Zuckerberg wants to unify the company’s separate messaging services. Not everyone agrees, especially considering the privacy nightmare it could lead to.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: I Suck and the Problem Is the Whole Site

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, whose platform has become synonymous with yelling, trolling, and a less-than-stable president who uses it for incoherent rants and threats of nuclear annihilation, is in a tough spot: Many if not most of the criticisms of his site are accurate, and Dorsey’s tactic of choice when responding to…

The Nissan Kicks is a cheap crossover that's still high-tech

LG G8 ThinQ Might Be Priced Starting At $900

The LG G8 ThinQ is expected to be officially announced at MWC 2019 which takes place in the next week or so. This will represent LG’s flagship smartphone for 2019 and as such, we expect that it will be priced at typical flagship prices. If you were hoping that LG might price it more affordably, think again.

A post on Reddit by u/livedadevil claims to have gotten the LG G8 SKU in their retail system in which the pricing of the phone has been revealed to be $1,199.99 CAD. When converted to USD, this means that the phone will be priced around at $900-ish give or take, although that is the starting price and that the price will most likely go up depending on the storage size of the phone.

Whether or not this is true remains to be seen, but at the same time flagship phones are usually priced around that range these days so it shouldn’t be surprising if it really were priced similarly. That being said, whether or not the LG G8 will be worth the $900-ish price tag remains to be seen.

The phone is expected to be packing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, a sound-on display, and possibly even touchless gesture control.
