With Game of Thrones entering its eighth and final season this spring, many of us are curious to see if anything can possibly take its place. With the proliferation of streaming services in the years since Game of Thrones debuted (such as HBO NOW), it’s hard to imagine any show ever having quite the same impact, but if any TV show can do it, it just might be Amazon’s upcoming original series based on The Lord of the Rings.

We still know virtually nothing about the show, other than that the company paid a massive amount of money for the license, but Amazon’s marketing push appears to be coming to life as the official Twitter account for the show shared an image of a map of Middle-earth and the line: “Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky.”

Over the past two years, Apple’s AirPods, though mocked mercilessly when originally introduced, have gone on to become incredibly popular. And while this might be something of a stretch, some have even argued that Apple’s wireless earbuds have become something of a status symbol akin to the original white earbuds that shipped with the iPod back in the day.

That said, rumors surrounding a next-gen version of Apple’s AirPods have been swirling about for months now, with the latest indication being that we’ll see AirPods 2 hit store shelves sometime before June of this year. Feature wise, AirPods 2 will reportedly boast noise cancellation features, improved water resistance, and last but not least, support for hands-free “Hey Siri” functionality.

It’s 2019, which means the third Star Wars trilogy will conclude this year, with Episode IX set to premiere in December.

Also, we have no idea when the first trailer will be released, but a new rumor suggests the first teaser might drop even sooner than we expected.

There’s no question that Netgear’s Arlo brand is responsible for starting the cord-free security camera craze. Of course once something gets popular you know some serious competition will start flooding in, and that’s definitely the case in this increasingly congested space. For our money, the Blink XT Home Security Camera System is as good as it gets. These weatherproof indoor or outdoor cameras have all the main features you might find in an Arlo camera, but the batteries last for 2 years instead of 2 or 3 months, which is the case with Arlo. Did we also mention that Blink XT cameras are about half the price of Arlo Pro 2 cams?

Blink XT Home Security Camera System with Motion Detection, Wall Mount, HD Video, 2-Year Batter…: $129.99

Here’s some more info from the product page:

Centuries of astronomical observation and technological advances have revealed a lot about the Universe we all call home, but it’s also raised plenty of new questions. Researchers have crunched a lot of numbers to try to make sense of the Big Bang and the billions of years that followed, but something just isn’t adding up.

Put simply, calculations of the amount of mass that was blasted into space after the Big Bang suggest that there’s a lot more matter out there somewhere that we haven’t seen and can’t detect. But why? That’s something NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory is doing its best to answer.

There’s no question that Samsung is the first company that comes to mind when talking about foldable phones, and that’s because the Korean company has been teasing this new form factor for several years. An increasing number of reports said some three years ago that Samsung was getting ready to launch a foldable phone, but Samsung kept delaying it. The handset is finally hitting stores in 2019, but Samsung will have plenty of competition from several major Chinese smartphone makers, including Huawei and Xiaomi.

Apple, meanwhile, has been working on its own foldable devices for quite a while, although, as with any other Apple project, the foldable iPhone is very secret. Nonetheless, there’s plenty of evidence to support the idea that Apple is interested in foldable devices, and we just got even more proof that such a handset may be in the making.

In response to what it says is customer demand for more places where they can experiment with and get a first hand-look at new products, Samsung has announced it’s going to be opening three retail stores around the US next week, on the same day as the company holds its Galaxy Unpacked 2019 event.

The move, Samsung explained in an announcement about the stores, also builds on related efforts like Samsung organizing pop-up locations around the country that let people experiment with VR-related and other gadgets. The company also opened its immersive Samsung 837 facility — which the South Korea-based giant has described as a kind of playground for new technology — in New York City’s Meatpacking District. Now, it’s time for something more.
