Tax Day is April 18th this year, so you have a few extra days to file. If you’ve already done your taxes, you’re either more responsible than I am or you’re getting money back. If it’s the latter and you still haven’t gotten your refund, the IRS has a tool to help you track it.
Whether you’re just learning how to code or you’re a seasoned vet, experimentation is a key part of the learning process. Glitch is a free new coding site that makes that a little easier by implementing a remix and collaboration system that’s also easy to deploy as an actual app.
The RoboVac 11 from Eufy (a division of Anker) is one of your favorite robotic vacuums, and in my own testing, it’s every bit as good (and far quieter) than my Roomba 770. If it’s been on your radar, today’s deal on Amazon is one of the best we’ve ever seen.
Whether you’re building a brand new PC, or just upgrading your current rig, Amazon’s one-day Gold Box deal is full of popular peripherals and accessories for great low prices.
Three of my closest friends live thousands of miles away from me, yet I’ve been able to maintain a deep connection with them. Here’s what I’ve learned over the years that you can use to keep your own long-distance friendships going strong.
Earlier this month, Republican leaders proposed The American Health Care Act, their plan to repeal and replace Obamacare. Some taxpayers might be a little confused over changes to the individual mandate. Keep in mind, nothing has actually changed yet, so go ahead and file your 2016 taxes as usual.
"Smartwatches all run more or less the same operating systems, be it watchOS on the Apple side and Android Wear for just about all others. And the Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45 Smartwatch is no different in this respect, running the latter. Where it sets itself apart is modularity, since this latest gen model lets you swap out parts — and not just straps, either, but the buckle, lugs, bezel, or even the watch’s core module itself, when warranted. The module that’s included now though is already amongst the best in the market, boasting a 1.39-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, an Intel Atom processor, 4GB of onboard storage, and..."

Intel announced today the first Optane-branded product using its new 3D XPoint memory: the catchily named Intel Optane SSD DC P4800X. It's a 375GB SSD on a PCIe card. Initial limited availability starts today, for $1520, with broad availability in the second half of the year. In the second quarter, a 750GB PCIe model, and a 375GB model in the U.2 form factor will be released, and in the second half of the year, a 1.5TB PCIe card, and 750GB and 1.5TB U.2 stick, are planned.
3D XPoint is a new kind of persistent solid state memory devised by Intel and Micron. Details on how the memory actually works remain scarce—it's generally believed to use some kind of change in resistance to record data—but its performance characteristics and technical capabilities make it appealing for a wide range of applications.
When it was first announced in 2015, Intel claimed it would be 1,000 times faster than NAND flash, 10 times denser than DRAM, and 1,000 times better endurance than NAND, though without saying "faster at what" or "what kind of NAND" or anything like that. With the shipping product, these comparisons are now clearer, as one of Intel's slides make clear: 3D XPoint has about one thousandth the latency of NAND flash (or about ten times the latency of DRAM), and tens times the density of DRAM.

Netflix introduces a new feature in the player’s to get let viewers quickly jump past the intro of TV series. When the intro starts comes a new button appears in the toolbar with the explanatory text “Skip intro”.
With one touch of this will take you straight to the action, and one can enjoy further, according to BGR .

Initially rolled out feature in a few popular series, such as Netflix’s own documents and other very popular titles. “House of Cards” and “Friends” are two of those lucky chosen one, and here you can already now skip past the intro.
Button is currently only available on the browser version of Netflix, but hopefully it will not take long before this also rolled out as updates to mobile applications. About Smart TVs also will get pleasure from this solution is not sure, but we live in hope.
It is not uncommon to set aside a Sunday to example wade through a half season Friends. After four five episodes are on the other hand quickly tired of hearing “I’ll be there foor yoooou” for the umpteenth time during the intro. Thus, many appreciate the ability to easily skip intro song, which tend to gnaw deep into the cortex.
A study conducted by Netflix shows that “binging” is actually very common among viewers theirs, according to the NY Times . On average, it takes one week to revel through all the episodes in the first season of a series and seasons that follow accelerated even faster. Stromme giant show that they care about this group, and the new skip function will probably be received with open arms.
