Everyone thinks the bride and groom are having to do all the work day when it's their wedding. No one spares a thought for the poor sap who has to take on the role of Best man. Not only are there some fairly hefty ‘responsibilities' to adhere to, you have to get up in front of everyone and deliver the most gut-wrenching speech of all. Get it right, you're a hero. Get it wrong, and you've ruined the ‘special' day she's been dreaming about since she was an 8-year-old little princess. So check o...

A common misconception is that all car batteries die. This, in fact, isn't true—the majority of "dead" car batteries just don't contain enough juice to power a car, but they can still provide enough watts to keep emergency fans and lighting running, which is great when a power outage occurs. So, instead of lugging the battery to the nearest drop-off center or just letting it collect dust in the garage, you can put that car battery to good use.

Sad news for fans of Google's fantastic Pixel line. Google confirmed today that the Pixel and Pixel XL won't be getting any software or security updates past October 2019.

A new hack has reopened an 8-year-old iPhone security loophole that Apple thought it had fixed back with iPhone OS 2.2.

I've been an Android user almost as long as the operating system has existed, so when I received my first iPhone in April, I felt like I was in a foreign land.
