Binge watch for cheap while you can. Netflix is raising prices.
At $7.99 per month, Netflix is a steal – almost too-good-to-be-true of a steal. Considering Netflix’s library, the amount of content available for instant, unlimited viewing is remarkable at such a low price. But that third-party content costs Netflix $7.7 billion every year, four and a half times…

T-Mobile and Dish merging could mean great things for consumers.
When it comes to corporate mergers, we often immediately become skeptics, and honestly a bit fearsome.

Hey Minecraft fans, the real LEGO sim has arrived on Steam!
When I’m asked what exactly Minecraft is, it’s usually answered with something along the lines of “It’s like an 8-bit LEGO game.” But while Minecraft may remind you of your youth building that 1000-plus piece Millennium Falcon, the game has never been endorsed or associated with the LEGO brand.

Maybe a sports car could help Pac-Man?
On May 22, 1980, the world was introduced to Pac-Man. Thirty-five years later, he’s entered a mid-life crisis.

Out of the hundreds of friends you have on Facebook, how many are actually in your contacts app?
