New Horizons final Ultima Thule images reveal true shape

Given the vastness of outer space, it’s no surprise we know very little about it. Most of the time, we can only make guesses based on images our terrestrial telescopes and a few orbital satellites have captured of celestial objects few spacecraft have reached. It wasn’t until New Horizons made its historic flyby of Pluto that we finally got our … Continue reading

Samsung 837 NYC To Let You Play With Galaxy S10 Right After It’s Announced


You normally have to wait for a couple of weeks to actually experience a new smartphone after it’s unveiled. Companies normally open pre-orders right away and the phone hits shelves a couple of weeks later. That’s when demo units start becoming available at retail outlets as well. Samsung won’t keep fans waiting that long this time around, provided they’re located in New York City.

You’ll be able to head over to the flagship Samsung 837 store in New York City to play with the new devices right after the company unveils them on February 20th in San Francisco. Samsung will be unveiling three models of the new flagship, the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and the Galaxy S10+.

Samsung created this flagship store in NYC to enable visitors to experience its latest and greatest products. It’s the company’s biggest “experience center” in the United States. It wasn’t developed as a typical store as it’s more of a place for people to experience new products.

Those who are interested in getting some hands-on time with the Galaxy S10 models on February 20th are required to sign up at the official Galaxy Unpacked livestream website. Click on the RSVP button to register and reserve your spot. You’ll be required to log into your Samsung account first. It will not be possible to pre-order the Galaxy S10 there. Samsung will most likely start taking pre-orders from February 21st, if recent reports are any indication.

Google Fiber Will No Longer Be Available In Louisville


Google Fiber, the internet search giant’s gigabit internet service, was launched in Louisville, Kentucky alongside San Antonio, Texas back in 2017. The former now has the distinction of being the first market where Google will be shutting down the service. Google has since expanded Fiber to some 9 states across the country.

Google has officially confirmed that it has decided to no longer offer the Google Fiber service in Louisville. The reason has to do with the way the service was rolled out in the market. The method that Google used to lay down the fiber wasn’t simply burying it in the deep.

Google placed the fiber in smaller trenches throughout Louisville in a bit to speed up the rollout and also cut down on costs. This has resulted in service issues that are proving costly to fix.

The company says that it would simply cost too much to fix this issue as it would have to build the network from scratch once again. It doesn’t see value in that so it has decided to leave the market. Google Fiber users in Louisville will be able to use the service until April 15th and with the service charges for these next two months being borne by Google.
