On March 29, Samsung's going to finally — officially — announce its next flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S8, and by all reports it will be glorious. The Galaxy S8 will be one of the shiniest, prettiest and most feature-packed phones ever created. How do we know this? The same way we know about Apple's new iPhones months before the company announces them: internet leaks.

Everyone who's ever worked in a modern office has experienced the pain. You sip your coffee, read your emails, finally settle in and start being productive when that coworker rolls up to your desk. You know, the one who either can't tell or doesn't care that you're in the middle of something (and if you don't know who that person is, well, then it's probably you). Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, a new Chrome browser extension has your back.

Vice President Mike Pence’s embarrassing use of an AOL email account is just another painful reminder of something that should be crystal clear to everyone: this administration doesn’t understand or care a lick about technology. It’s an especially painful reality as we come off the high of an administration’s 8-year-love affair with technology and social media. They held Maker Fairs on the White House Lawn, for heaven’s sake.

As we start to 3D-print everything — including houses, of all things — it's pretty impressive that a company built one in just 24 hours. Located in Russia, this 400-square-foot home (37 square meters) was built in just a day, at a cost of just over $10,000. The main components of the house, including the walls, partitions and building envelope were printed solely with a concrete mixture.

Nostalgia is cheap, but it gets us every damn time. Nokia's reboot of the classic 3310 sent people in an unprecedented fervour when it debuted at Mobile World Congress on the weekend. Turns out people want durable dumbphones that'll last longer than a year. Even if they don't offer much except for Snake. The bad news though is that it might not even work: The Nokia 3310 relies on 2.5G connectivity, which requires 2G networks.

All those rumors that the next iPhone or Samsung will be all screen in the front have a problem: No one's really sure how to do that. You'd need to remove or redesign the camera lenses, the sensors and the speakers, and while none of it's impossible with current technology, it's still a daunting task to accomplish without major drawbacks. A UK-based company called Redux appears to have solved a big part of the problem.

If you'd told me last year that the Mobile World Congress — the biggest mobile industry event of the year apart from the iPhone launch — would be dominated by Nokia and BlackBerry, I'd call you names. Slightly offensive, silly names. But it's exactly what's happening, and it's not just due to the absence of Samsung's Galaxy S8, whose launch date got shifted to late March.

It's no secret Kim Kardashian West loves her BlackBerry and nearly lost her goddamn mind last year when her last BlackBerry Bold died and she couldn't find any more on eBay. Well, Kim, I hope you're reading this because everything is going to be OK again once the new QWERTY keyboard-equipped BlackBerry KEYone comes out in a few months.

One of the most anticipated devices to come out of this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is the Huawei P10. Now, what appears to be a full set of press-ready photos, courtesy of leaker Evan Blass, shows us how the device will look from all sides. The phone seems to be quite similar to last year's P9 — dual, Leica-branded cameras on the back and all — with one big difference: The fingerprint sensor appears to have moved from the back of the device to a home button on the front.

No one can predict what President Donald Trump will say (or tweet) on any given day, but there is a mask that will help you make a best guess. Unveiled at the New York Toy Fair, Trumpism is a randomizer President Donald Trump mask that can generate a Trump-like phrase based on any one of 12 key words. Inside the yellow-haired, rubber Trump visage is a microphone and tiny speakers.
