Jon Stewart explains why he quit The Daily Show

Jon Stewart Interview

It's not easy to imagine Comedy Central's The Daily Show without Jon Stewart at the helm. This is undoubtedly why responses have been so muted to the network's announcement that a relatively unknown contributor Trevor Noah will replace Stewart as the show's host. Of course, we can recall similar responses when Comedy Central announced that The Daily Show host Craig Kilborn would be replaced by a young comedian named Jon Stewart about 16 years ago.

Since Stewart first announced that he would be retiring as The Daily Show's host, one question has persisted: why? Now, Stewart finally explained exactly why he's moving on in a recent interview.

Which boots up faster? An Apple Watch or an iPhone?

Apple Watch Boot Up

With the Apple Watch launch slated to get rolling this Friday, it's kind of funny to think that we'll soon be living in a world where we have to boot up our watches. While Apple has slowly but surely released a few Apple Watch guided tour videos, we haven't yet seen what it's like to actually turn the device on for the first time.

Until now.

Fan recreates Batman v Superman trailer using only footage of Adam West and Christopher Reeve

Batman V Superman Trailer Adam West Christopher Reeve

Nowadays we like to see our super hero movies to be gritty and dark... but it wasn't always like that. In fact, the first Superman movie was a very light and sunny affair while the original Batman TV series was downright campy. This is why we found it particularly amusing that YouTube user Bobby Burns last week made a very clever remake of the new Batman v Superman trailer using only footage of Adam West as Batman and Christopher Reeve as Superman.

Windows 10 Release Date

Windows 10 is easily one of Microsoft's most important launches in years, as the company looks to regain the ground it lost with Windows 8. At this point it's beyond safe to say that the company's current desktop operating system is a flop, with many consumers and businesses alike doing everything they can to avoid it. Windows 10 dials back many of the controversial visual changes we saw in Windows 8, however, and the press has had plenty of good things to say about it thus far.

Now, we finally know almost exactly when the final version of Windows 10 will be released to the public thanks to a slip-up from one of Microsoft's key partners.

Sony Xperia Z4 Specs, Release Date and Price

Sony on Monday unveiled its next flagship Android smartphone, the Xperia Z4 that appeared in a plethora of rumors so far.

The DMV recently declared the license plate ‘370H55V’ to be obscene – can you guess why?

License Plate Funny

If you're lucky enough to be able to afford a Lamborghini, it doesn't necessarily follow that you have carte blanche to come up with any type of vanity license plate your heart desires.


While typical objections to license plate permutations typically focus on overtly offensive words, a Texas man named Safer Hassan recently learned the hard way that even obfuscating an alleged obscenity might leave you with a revoked plate.

How Hollywood is waging war against VPNs

Hollywood Studios Vs. Netflix VPNs

Virtual private networks (VPNs) aren't some wild-and-crazy piece of hacker technology -- in fact, anyone who's ever worked remotely has likely connected to corporate email through a VPN many times before. However, VPNs can also be used to fool video streaming services such as Netflix into thinking you're actually living in a different country, which can give you unauthorized access to streaming content that's not available in your market. Because of this, entertainment studios have been making a big push on both ISPs and streaming services to crack down on VPN use, as two stories that broke this week demonstrate.

Apple Watch Performance

During this week's episode of John Gruber's podcast, The Talk Show, Gruber sat down with Joanna Stern of the Wall Street Journal to talk all things Apple Watch.


About two hours and 9 minutes into the podcast, both Gruber and Stern began lamenting the poor performance they saw with third-party Apple Watch apps. "It makes me question whether there should be third party apps for it at all yet," Gruber noted.

Samsung finally reveals how much it will cost to replace your Galaxy S6 battery

Galaxy S6 Battery Replacement Cost

The brand new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are arguably the best Android smartphones the world has ever seen at this point, but nothing it perfect and that obviously holds true in this case. Specifically, vocal Android enthusiasts seem to have three main problems with the new flagship handsets: They don't have user-replaceable batteries, they don't have expandable storage and they aren't water- or dust-resistant.


Carrying a portable battery charger or a battery case can help address the first issue, but what happens if and when your battery goes bad? Thankfully, Samsung has finally confirmed how much it will cost to have your Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge battery replaced.
