Security and privacy tip: 3 mistakes you’re making on social media
From Facebook to Twitter to Instagram and all the sites in between, we’re voluntarily giving out more information online than ever. Some of that info can actually put you in danger. In this Komando DIY, three common security mistakes you're probably making.
The nuclear battery that can change space travel
Space travel is something humans have been working on for decades. We've managed to get to the moon and have sent robots to Mars but achieving lasting deep space travel has eluded us.

Want a ticket to space? It’ll cost you a pretty penny
The first commercial spaceport is under construction. That means yes, you can go to space — but be prepared to pay a pretty penny. Scientists are working on a new way to perform organ transplants you'll have to see to believe, and a new headphone brand blows your earbuds out of the water.
Amazon is designed to get you to spend more
Amazon is the obvious king of online shopping. You might spend hours scrolling through its seemingly endless amount of products and adding them to your cart. And that's by design. Amazon uses psychological tricks to get people to shop and buy more and you won't believe just how it works.
