Here are the six features in Android O that you’ll actually care about
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 22 views
The developer preview of Android O has launched today, giving a lucky (and brave) few an advance look at the next version of Android. It will be some months until we start seeing Android O roll out across all Android devices, but now we at least know what we're missing out on. Continue reading...

Twitter has axed over 630,000 accounts for being too extreme
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 24 views
Twitter is doing its best to attract as many users as it possibly can, but not everyone who signs up for an account is welcome on the platform. In its latest transparency report, which covers activity on Twitter between July and December of last year, the social network revealed its latest tally of banned accounts has risen dramatically. The company's statistics show that it had to ban over 375,000 accounts for spouting hateful rhetoric in the last half of 2016 alone, bringing the total number of accounts banned for such behavior to over 630,000.

This is the other Star Wars: Rogue One ending where everyone doesn’t die
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies

Building on the existing Star Wars universe is a compelling, if risky, proposition for Disney. On one hand, fans are interested to see what happening in the years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, and between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. On the other, Disney has to introduce characters and events that don't invalidate the stories that fans are already familiar with from the main saga. Continue reading...

Now is the perfect time to buy an iPhone SE
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 26 views
With the iPhone 7 helping Apple's stock soar to record highs, and the iPhone 8 on the horizon, the iPhone's younger cousin always gets forgotten. But thanks to a minor update by Apple today, the iPhone SE is more attractive than ever. As part of a raft of minor updates to its product line, Apple has bumped the base internal storage of the iPhone SE to 32GB without touching the price. That means for $399 regularly (or a little less when you can find it on sale), you can have all the guts of an iPhone 6S in a more pocket-friendly package with great battery life. As someone who switched from a 6S to an SE this time last year, I can tell you that it's basically perfect. …

The next version of Android is official, and it’ll be released later this year. Google announced Android O and its features moments ago. Among the most important consumer-facing features are background limits, notification channels, picture-in-picture support, and adaptive icons. So, like Android 7.0 Nougat, this version of Android doesn’t quite come across as a dramatic […] Come comment on this article: Google announces Android O, rolls out the first developer preview Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Samsung’s mobile future is way more exciting than the Galaxy S8
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

Samsung is about to unveil the Galaxy S8, a brand new flagship smartphone that promises new levels of sophistication for a mobile device, both when it comes to design and new features. But not all of Samsung’s upcoming innovations will make it into this year’s Galaxy S handset, and a new report sheds more light on the secret tech that Samsung demoed behind closed doors at Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona earlier this month.

‘Arms’ is the Nintendo Switch game I’m most interested in after ‘Zelda’
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 28 views
Although the Nintendo Switch launch lineup ended up being slightly more compelling than we expected, interest has begun to wane somewhat as Switch owners wait patiently for something more substantial than a port of a NEOGEO classic or an indie game that has been available on other consoles for years. Unfortunately, Splatoon 2 won't arrive until this summer and we're going to have to wait until the holidays for Super Mario Odyssey. Save for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the only true exclusive to tide us over in the meantime is Arms -- a fighting game that takes advantage of the Switch's unique Joy-Con controllers. Continue reading...

The iPhone might protect your privacy, but it won’t hide your crimes from police
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

A few months ago, a Twitter troll allegedly sent a seizure-inducing image to a journalist, thinking that an anonymous prepaid SIM card and a throwaway Twitter account would be enough to protect his privacy and help him escape any potential ramifications. It turns out the attacker was also an iPhone user, a significant detail that helped police track him down and arrest him. It all happened with the support of Twitter, AT&T, and Apple.

CUJO is cuter than Wall-E, and it’s the only internet security device you’ll ever need

Everything in your home that connects to the internet — and we mean EVERYTHING — is vulnerable to attack. Sure you have antivirus software on your PCs, but what about your smartphones and tablets? What about your TVs? What about your Amazon Echo, your home security cameras and your baby monitors? Most people don’t even realize how vulnerable all of these devices can be, and to be honest, you shouldn’t have to worry about hackers breaking into your network and using your Nest Cam to spy on you and record you. That’s where CUJO comes in. This little gadget might look even more adorable than Wall-E, but it means business. CUJO takes just a few minutes to set up and once i…

In just a little over a week, all the river of Galaxy S8 leaks will finally run dry, as Samsung is set to unveil the handset during an Unpacked press conference scheduled for March 29th. Until then, however, expect to see a daily barrage of Galaxy S8 leaks and rumors mixed with the occasional official Galaxy S8 announcement and new teaser with.

Apple has a new 9.7-inch iPad that’s cheaper than ever
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

The iPad isn’t as hot as it used to be, but Apple is far from being ready to throw in the towel. Tim Cook is still a very big fan of the iPad and tablets are still money makers for Apple. After weeks of speculation, Apple on Tuesday unveiled several new products, but the list included just one new iPad model, not four as previous rumors alleged. But the brand new iPad comes in a form factor that many have grown to love: It's the same 9.7-inch device as the old iPad Air 2, but it's priced lower than it has ever been before.

Breaking: Apple just surprised us all with a brand new iPhone model
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies

In a move that isn't entirely unexpected but is still somewhat shocking considering that the company is typically a creature of habit, Apple on Tuesday morning added new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models to its smartphone lineup. The Apple store was taken offline early on Tuesday morning, as we all expected. Apple warned on its system status website that the store would be taken offline beginning around midnight EDT on Tuesday morning, though the reason for the outage was unclear. Rumors suggested that several new iPad models might be announced on Tuesday morning, and that indeed turned out to be the case. Apple's new 9.7-inch iPad wasn't the only new product unveiled …

Mesh Wi-Fi systems are the future of wireless networking at home. For about the same price as a single high-end Wi-Fi router, you can get a series of devices designed to spread wireless signal throughout your home and eliminate dead spots. What’s more, many modern systems also analyze competing wireless signals in the area and adjust their settings dynamically, helping to further ensure optimal performance at all times. We’re big fans of high-quality mesh systems here at BGR, and we recently tested every top system to pick our three favorites. Well guess what: Two of our three picks — the AmpliFi HD and the Netgear Orbi — are both discounted right now on Amazon. Amp…

Tired of searching far-flung corners of a big box retail store for that item you want? Walmart may have a high-tech solution – the retail giant has filed a patent to use drones within its stores. The patent application describes “dispatching an airborne drone to an item located within a retail shopping facility, securing that item of inventory to the airborne drone, and then directing the airborne drone to carry the item of inventory to a delivery area located within the retail shopping area.” Continue reading...

It makes good business sense, and can increase the likelihood that you enjoy a film in the long run. Now, the science of getting moviegoers out of their homes and into theaters just got kicked into overdrive thanks to a new study that shows how neuroscience and brain scanning can actually forecast whether a movie will be a hit or a bust.

Someone found a way to hack Pokemon Go’s speed restrictions
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 26 views
Driving and playing Pokemon Go is a no-go, according to Niantic. The company will not let you collect any Pokemon rewards if the game detects that you’re moving faster than 30mph. The speed limit feature is meant to prevent accidents that might result from playing Pokemon Go while driving a car. But a Pokemon Go player found a way to circumvent Niantic’s safety measures. The trick will not let you drive your car and play the game, as it requires quite a bit of phone handling. But if you’re a passenger in a car, then playing Pokemon Go might just be one of the things you’ll be able to do to pass the time, at least until Niantic fixes this loophole. Continue reading... …
