Recent 4K drone footage of the under-construction Apple Park campus reveals that it’s living up to the company’s nature-focused early renders.

Drone footage shot by aerial videographer Matthew Roberts of Apple’s new Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, CA was published today, putting the campus’ improved landscaping, amenities, and new security checkpoints on display. The video shows the ring-shaped spaceship building surrounded by trees and grass, with more greenery, sidewalks, and a sparkling circular pond nestled within the campus’ courtyard. In addition to the new natural elements, the footage revealed the employee dining terrace as well as the Visitor’s Center, which was previewed by press in September and opened to the public last month. It seems a new security checkpoint has been added to the Wolfe Road entrance to Apple Park, too.

Construction on Apple Park has been pretty much ongoing since 2013, and though Roberts’ footage shows that it is nearly finished, there are stil…

NextVR has figured out how to work fast in VR without sacrificing quality, and it’s incredible.

The folks at NextVR have been assembling quality videos for VR audiences longer than most, but what sets this team apart from the rest is the ability to deliver sports. These events typically make you feel like you’ve got a seat ringside or courtside for live Boxing or Basketball experiences, but the work they do with the NFL takes a slightly different shape. These shows are more like post-game analysis with a killer VR highlight reel, complete with show hosts to walk you through all the best plays of the game.

These shows are typically live in the NextVR app within an hour or two of the game ending, which is incredibly impressive when you consider all the work that goes into creating one of these events.

The Mac mini

Last refresh: October 2014 – WAIT

Unless you absolutely need a Mac mini for your home, school, or business, we recommend waiting until 2018.

The Mac mini is Apple’s least expensive desktop computer — an aging Mac’s guts stuffed into a 7.7-inch box. It was last updated in October 2014, over three years ago; it’s far from being a competitor in the desktop landscape, but it still provides a lot of flexibility for those looking for a low-cost Mac box.

Choosing the hardware that best suits your needs.

Nintendo is the undisputed world heavyweight champion of delivering quality games to play when you are not at home, and there are a surprising number of options for hardware these days as well. With a growing selection of Nintendo-made games living as apps on your phone, the seemingly immortal Nintendo 3DS line, and the recent yet explosively popular Nintendo Switch console it’s a little complicated to choose.

Assuming you don’t want to sit down and play games for long periods of time on your time, that boils the list of options down to two. How do you choose between the ultra-portable 3DS and the ultra-powerful Switch? While a hardcore Nintendo fan might grin and say ”Why not both?” you should take a quick look at the strengths and weaknesses of these gadgets to choose which is the best for your needs.

Last-minute gift idea = complete!

Bluetooth headphones have become more of a must-have with phones than they ever were in the past thanks to the removal of headphone jacks on various newer devices. Not everyone wants to drop hundreds of dollars on Bluetooth headphones, though, and luckily you don’t have to.

Right now you can pick up these Vtin Bluetooth Sports Earbuds for just $5.99 at Amazon when you use coupon code 5ERVAUV2 during checkout. These days it’s hard to find a meal to eat for $6, let alone a pair of headphones that you can use on a daily basis to listen to music, take phone calls, and more.

The ear hooks are designed to better fit and hold inside your ears so they won’t move while you are working out or moving about, and the cable buckle helps adjust the length of the cable to help them fit better. You’ll get around 6 hours of playback time per charge, and they recharge fully within 2 hours. Whether you are looking for a last-minute holiday gift idea, or want some Blu…

Kayak

Kayak is a great travel planning service for getting a whole package together. You can search for flights, hotels, and cars, all with the same destination and dates. Results can be filtered by popularity, price, amenities, and lots more. My favorite feature of Kayak is the discovery map. You can enter certain criteria, like how long your trip is, your preferred month of travel, how much you want to spend, temperatures, and geolocation features like beaches or skiing. …
