Rick and Morty fans who want to surprise their special man or lady on Valentine’s Day with something a little special before the “special” festivities go down, check it out. You can get two pairs of Rick and Morty boxer briefs that are eminently better than your tighty whities.
One pair is blue and has the many faces of Rick Sanchez. The other pair is festooned with Pickle Rick. That means you can cover your pickle with a bunch of pickles.
The pair of undies sells for $39.99 and depending on your sharting frequency, should last much longer than flowers. They come in size SM through 2X and are available from ThinkGeek now.

Essential Phone PH-2 appeared in carrier files this week – but we might not be ready for it just yet. If what Andy Rubin predicted is meant to come to fruition, we might have to look to another device to see how well we’re prepared for the sort of future for which Essential is prepared. That other device was the … Continue reading

FBI Sting on Huawei Ends With a Meeting Over Burgers, a Raid, and No Charges Currently
Posted in: Today's Chili
In what sounds like a half-baked movie script about corporate espionage, an FBI sting conducted in collaboration with a specialized glass maker (and watched from a gelato stand by a reporter from Bloomberg) led investigators to a meeting at a burger joint in Vegas during CES. However, despite getting enough evidence…

Marvel fans who have been concerned about the future of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise may have something to look forward to. Amid all of the turbulence on the production front, it appears that the next installment in the series is not dead in the water. There may be hope yet for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was put on hold after the director and screenwriter James Gunn was fired from Disney. Gunn was fired after offensive tweets from many years ago resurfaced. The franchise’s cast threw its weight behind Gunn but Disney did not budge.
That meant the film wouldn’t make its previously scheduled 2020 release and was thus pushed to 2021. It continues to remain on Disney’s calendar which is a good sign. Actor Karen Gillan, who plays Nebula in the series, has previously said that the project will move forward even without Gunn, adding that “there’s a script in existence.”
Gunn had written the script for this film originally and it’s as yet unclear if the script Gillan mentions is the same or a new one. Even Chris Pratt, who plays Starlord, has said that there’s going to be a third movie without offering little details on how it will pan out. So there’s some good news among all of the uncertainty, but it brings with it more uncertainty.
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Is Not Dead Yet

Your smartphone may soon pack 1TB in storage thanks to Samsung’s new memory chip
Posted in: UncategorizedSick of filling the limited space on your phone with apps, photos and videos? Sometime in the near future, your smartphone could ship with more than one terabyte (1TB) of internal storage and run 10 times faster than a standard memory card.
Samsung is best known for making smartphones, but the company’s memory division — one of its most profitable units — just announced it has begun mass-producing a 1TB flash storage chip for phones. There’s no word on when they’ll be inside smartphones, but Samsung said it plans to increase production during the first half of this year.
“Smartphone enthusiasts will soon be able to enjoy storage capacity comparable to a premium notebook PC, without having to pair their phones with additional memory cards,” Samsung said.
That 1TB capacity is double the previous highest that the Korean firm has produced. Its newest chip gave the Galaxy Note 9 a 512GB model, which passes the terabyte milestone when a 512GB SD card is added. This new breakthrough promises to offer that without the help of a card, but the company also boasted of improved performance.
Samsung said its new tech reaches speeds of up to 1,000 megabytes per second (MB/s) — that would transfer a 5GB-sized full HD video in just five seconds, as opposed to nearly one minute with conventional microSD cards. Increased memory will also enable better-quality high-resolution video shooting thanks to faster random read speed, it said.
Sounds good, but might this ship before the end of the year? The Samsung rumor mill is already speculating that the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 could include a 1TB model, but at this stage there is no concrete evidence. Keep an eye out for future leaks for more hints.

If you’re interested in Meizu’s insane smartphone that doesn’t have any port or button, you can now pre-order it on Indiegogo for $1,299. Supply is limited as the company is only selling 100 units for now.
The Meizu Zero looks like any modern phone at first sight. But if you look beyond the display, you’ll notice that there’s absolutely zero port or button.
The volume button has been replaced with a touch-sensitive surface. The fingerprint sensor is integrated in the display. Wireless charging is the only way to charge the device. And if you’re thinking about putting your SIM card in the phone, there’s no SIM slot either — I hope your carrier supports eSIM cards.
There’s no speaker grille either. Meizu is using the screen as a speaker by sending vibrations through the display. It also works as a microphone, apparently.
It’s unclear if this is just a giant joke or an actual product. But it’s an interesting experiment. For $1,299, you get a phone with a 5.99-inch AMOLED display and a Snapdragon 845 system-on-a-chip. The company expects to ship the device in April 2019.

Shopping for glasses is something that typically needs to be done in person, as you generally want to see how a set of frames both fits and looks on your face. With the rise of augmented reality, though, the process of trying on a pair of glasses is something that could be done anywhere, anytime. That’s what Warby Parker thinks … Continue reading
