by Guest Brad Ward- 0 replies
- 21 views
Google is one of the largest Internet companies in the world, offering a wide range of Cloud-based storage tools that must be as secure as possible. Getting hacked or having a security breach would be disastrous in many ways for the company. But, there’s not too much need to worry — Google has a pretty secure setup, and now, […] Come comment on this article: Google increases its bug bounty for more critical and hard to find vulnerabilities Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

The Samsung Galaxy S8 might not release on time
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies

Just a few days we heard a pretty compelling rumor that the Galaxy S8 would be launching on April 21st to cap off a preorder period starting April 10th. While that rumor is still pretty plausible, another leak suggests that the launch date has been pushed back a week to April 28th. The good news […] Come comment on this article: The Samsung Galaxy S8 might not release on time Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Pokemon Go: Best gym defenders after the Generation 2 update
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 21 views
For competitive Pokemon Go players, the most thrilling (and nerve-racking) part of the Generation 2 update is figuring out which new Pokemon are best suited to defend their gyms. Previously, rare Pokemon like Snorlax, Dragonite and Lapras were among the top tier defenders, but now that the Johto region Pokemon have entered the fray, players have had to go back to the drawing board to come up with a new list.

5 pairs of Lightning headphones that go perfectly with the iPhone 7
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 25 views
The future is wireless... but we're not quite there yet. There are still all sorts of issues that make wireless headphones a step not everyone is willing to take right now. For one thing, using Bluetooth headphones means having yet another device that needs to be recharged. For another, if you have one of Apple's most recent iPhones, there's a bug that's plaguing iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus users that makes using Bluetooth headphones infuriating. Don't worry though, because you've got other options. Instead of carrying around that ridiculous little dongle, check out the five different pairs of Lightning headphones we've rounded up in this post. They start at just $19.99…

First report on the Galaxy Note 8 suggests Samsung is going big
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 20 views
"Galaxy Note" has become a dirty phrase associated with fire and disappointment in the last few months, so it's easy to forget that the Note series used to be Samsung's flagship. Before it started spontaneously combusting, reviews fawned over the Note 7's non-flammable design and features like the iris sensor. So obviously, Samsung is going to want to get its reputation back with the next Note device, set to land later this year. With a launch not expected until October, we don't have much by the way of leaks yet, but what we do have looks good. Continue reading...

Nintendo is swearing that this major Switch issue isn’t a defect
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 18 views
The Nintendo Switch is finally here and many early impressions are extremely positive. That is, unless your shiny new gaming system arrived in anything other than a pristine state. As with any run of hardware, defects are bound to pop up, but now Nintendo is taking a rather novel approach to one very specific flaw by claiming that it's not a flaw at all. Continue reading...

Fan-made iPhone 8 imagines how iOS 11’s new ‘Function Bar’ might work
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies

Apple's iPhone 8 release date might still be more than six months away, but you wouldn't know it to look at all the chatter around the web right now. New reports claiming to reveal details about Apple's upcoming iPhone 8 emerge each and every day, and they continue to paint an increasingly clear picture of Apple's next-generation flagship iPhone. Increasingly clear, yes, but there's still a very long way to go before we know exactly what to expect from Apple's tenth-anniversary iPhone. In the meantime, people continue to image what might be in store from Apple based on the rumblings we've heard thus far. Continue reading... Trending right now: Another painful re…

Android Wear 2.0 kicked off with a pair of smartwatches from LG: the Watch Style and the Watch Sport.

GoPro is good at capturing unique experiences from unique perspectives. Sometimes, it requires a bunch of high-tech solutions like a custom drone or a team of photographers. Other times, it's as simple as strapping a tiny cube to the back of a bird of prey, letting it loose, and editing the result. Continue reading...

Amazon breathed new life into the book industry by, well, killing books. Sure, some people still enjoy printed books, but the preference is now digital and it's all thanks to the Amazon Kindle line of eBook readers. Kindles make it easy to carry hundreds or even thousands of books with you anywhere you go, and they include great features such as wonderfully visible E Ink displays and fantastic battery life.

Space is a big, mostly empty place, but every once in a while a pricey piece of Earth machinery ends up in a tight squeeze with a celestial body. That's just what happened to NASA's MAVEN spacecraft which is currently in its third year of orbit around Mars. NASA confirmed this week that it was forced to perform an unplanned maneuver with MAVEN to prevent it from slamming headlong into Phobos, the largest of Mars' moons. Continue reading...

We all spend plenty of time complaining about whatever wireless carrier we shell out money to every month to keep us connected while on the go, but rarely do wireless customers ever consider how difficult it actually is to provide coverage in any specific area. New York City is one particularly challenging location when it comes to mobile connectivity, and AT&T just launched a pretty cool web experience to explain just why that's the case and what they're doing to make the network stronger.
