If you want a video doorbell for your front door, but aren’t sure which one to get, we’ve tested out the top three models—the Ring Video Doorbell 2, Nest Hello, and SkyBell HD—to see which one might best fit your needs.

This post is part of Me, online, Mashable's ongoing series digging into online identities.

If you're reading this, you're probably online, which, you know, good luck. But have you ever wondered exactly what type of online you are?

It takes all sorts to make an internet, from the fighters to the lurkers to the people who don't really understand the internet at all. In our opinion, discovering your internet personality is kind of like the famed Myers-Briggs test — it relies on four main divides.

Splendid news, Luther fans — Season 5 is officially on its way.

On Monday night, Idris Elba shared a brief teaser for the show's new season on his Twitter.

Well, that's certainly a nice surprise.

Still, so we don't exactly have much to go on so far.

Aside from a bloodied Elba walking up to stare at the camera and the words "This will hurt", details are currently pretty thin. We don't even have a date yet: just that equally exciting/frustrating phrase, "coming soon".

Better than nothing though, eh?

Five days after leaving Twitter after she became the target of a homophobic meme, Millie Bobby Brown has addressed bullying in her MTV Awards speech.

The Stranger Things star picked up the award for Best Performance in a Show on Monday. She couldn't attend in person, so instead shared the video above.

After thanking various people for the award, Brown took a moment at an end to address the issue of bullying.

"Finally, since I know that there are many young people watching this — and even to the adults, too — they could probably use the reminder that I was taught, if you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say it," said Brown. "There should be no space in this world for bullying, and I'm not going to tolerate it. And neither should any of you." Read more...

ZURICH (Reuters) - Only around half of millionaires are in tune with their wealth managers and the very rich are increasingly interested in crytocurrency investments, a survey released on Tuesday found.

(Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc said on Tuesday that it has partnered with Marriott International Inc to help increase guest access to amenities with Alexa, through its voice-controlled device Echo, in an attempt to expand its presence in the hospitality industry.

"Alexa, can I get a toothbrush?"

At the mention of Amazon's digital assistant, the light ring on the white Echo Plus sitting on the end table lights up, then blinks for a second after the question is asked. Ordinarily, if you made that query to the Echo in your home, Alexa would respond by simply adding a toothbrush to your shopping list.

But I'm not in my home, and this isn't your ordinary Alexa. I'm sitting in a suite on the 17th floor of the Brooklyn Marriott, and the person bugging Alexa about his dental-hygiene needs is Daniel Rausch, vice president of smart home for Amazon.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian court fined U.S. electronics giant Apple Inc A$9 million ($6.7 million) on Tuesday after a regulator accused it of using a software update to disable iPhones which had cracked screens fixed by third parties.

Awards show speeches can often be a bit of an unpredictable affair.

Just watch Chris Pratt's one above. While receiving the MTV "Generation" Award on Monday night, Pratt decided to use his time in the spotlight to deliver something he called "9 Rules from Chris Pratt" to the next generation.

2. "You have a soul. Be careful with it."

3. "Don't be a turd. If you're strong be a protector and if you're smart be a humble influencer; strength and intelligence can be weapons, and do not wield them against the weak. That makes you a bully. Be bigger than that." Read more...

Without one, you might as well not exist.

There have been some pretty huge episodes of Carpool Karaoke over the past couple of years, but this could well be one of the biggest yet.

On Monday night, The Late Late Show with James Corden dropped a trailer for an upcoming episode featuring legendary Beatle Paul McCartney.

The trailer doesn't give too much away, but we do get a nice clip of the pair cheerfully singing "Drive My Car".

Makes sense.

This post is part of Me, online, Mashable's ongoing series digging into online identities.

In 2009, a San Francisco web strategist named Tim — last name withheld for reasons that will become clear — opened his Gmail to find a message from a Build-a-Bear workshop in St. Louis. The email was addressed to someone called Tamara. 

That's odd, thought Tim, but thought little more about it. Days later he received an email directed at someone called Toby. It contained photos of a family eating an Easter meal with, his correspondent assured him, "lots and lots of BACON!"

One of the most unexpected rare delights of 2018 (and they are rare) is Netflix's Queer Eye reboot, which came out in February and made us feel all kinds of warm, fuzzy feelings we'd forgotten about over the past couple years.

Season 2 debuted months before anyone expected, on June 15, and the eight new episodes exemplify everything we love about Queer Eye. 

Here are 11 times the latest season restored our faith in humanity. (Spoilers ahead if you consider Queer Eye a spoilable show.)

Bouncing across the moon’s bleak, gray surface, 12 astronauts gathered hundreds of pounds of moon rock between 1969 and 1972. 

Sometimes, they lifted blocks as heavy as 25 pounds (in Earth weight) off the lunar surface. Other times, they raked the lunar floor to collect fine, meteorite-smashed soil. In total, NASA flew 842 pounds of extraterrestrial rock back to Earth. Most of it has since been sealed away in freezing vaults. 

Yet, Laura Cicco, of Tennessee, is sure she has a vial of moon dust. She's so confident, in fact, that she recently sued NASA for her right to keep this vial of purported lunar dirt before the space agency can take it away.  Read more...
