by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 18 views
Allo might be struggling to retain user attention, but that’s not going to stop Google from feeding it updates to make it more compelling, especially when it concerns Google Assistant. In the newest update to Google’s chat app, there’s a brand new button next to the text box that will immediately bring up Assistant, making […] Come comment on this article: Google is making it easier to bring Assistant into Allo conversations Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

It looked as if Google was done creating laptops yesterday when Rick Osterloh, the company’s head of hardware, told TechCrunch that there aren’t any plans for a new device. Even the Pixel brand’s expansion was doubted. Osterloh himself is currently backtracking on the information provided in his interview, saying in-house hardware running Chrome OS is still in […] Come comment on this article: Rick Osterloh clarifies that the Chromebook Pixel is not dead Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Google will now let users receive emails of up to 50MB in Gmail

Gmail has always been an interesting game as far as attachment sizes go. Google is adding a little relief to that today, now letting users receive emails of up to 50MB. Now, Gmail’s outgoing messages (i.e. emails you’re sending) are still limited to a size of 25MB. So, what is this increase for exactly then?

Preorder 1-2-Switch for the Nintendo Switch right now and you’ll save 20%
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

This is it, boys and girls... the wait is almost over. The next-generation Nintendo Switch video game console will finally be released on Friday, March 3, and gamers all over the world will start the long process of forgiving Nintendo for releasing the travesty that was the Wii U. The Switch looks like it's going to be a ton of fun, but there is one tiny problem with the console: there are practically no games available at launch. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the big one, and you've almost certainly already preordered it. But the game you'll need if you want to play the Nintendo Switch with all your friends is 1-2-Switch. Think of 1-2-Switch as the Wii Sp…

This may be the battery tech that prevents the next Galaxy Note 7 disaster
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 19 views
Samsung has retrieved about 98% of the 3 million defective Galaxy Note 7 units it shipped in the short time span between the phone’s official launch last August and its swift demise in October. But on my way to Mobile World Congress, flight attendants still insisted over the plane's speaker system that Galaxy Note 7 use on board the flight is strictly forbidden, and anyone carrying such a device should inform the crew. That’s what fear of a potentially exploding device will do to an airline. Samsung may have “fixed” its massive debacle, but there’s still concern related to the few Galaxy Note 7 units that may be lurking around. It’s not just Galaxy Note 7 batteries tha…

Amazon sale slashes $100 off a 1TB TiVo Roamio with free lifetime service
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 18 views
TiVo's various set-top boxes are so much better than any cable or satellite TV providers' boxes that it's not even fair to compare them. From functionality and user interface design to reliability and performance, TiVo takes the cake. The problem with TiVo boxes is that they carry yet another monthly subscription fee, which is something most people are trying to avoid — as cord cutting grows in popularity, people want to trim their monthly expenses, not add new ones. With that in mind, we've got a deal that you definitely need to check out. The TiVo Roamio OTA 1 TB DVR just dropped to $305 on Amazon, and that price includes a lifetime of free TiVo service. This box is …

The iPhone 8 might not be the only $1,000 smartphone this year
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

The iPhone 8’s starting price is likely to reach and even exceed $1,000, various reports have said. The phone’s new design and features will force Apple to spend more money on certain components and manufacturing, including OLED displays, and that cost increase might be passed on to the buyer. Analysts already expect the iPhone’s average selling price to soar later this year, fueled by strong iPhone 8 sales. Continue reading...

by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

The Nest Learning Thermostat is the gadget that started it all. Thanks to Nest's intelligent design, people realized how inefficient dumb thermostats were, and how much money they were essentially throwing away by using them. Fast-forward to 2017, however, and the market is flooded with smart thermostats that bring sleek designs and intelligent features for a fraction of the cost of a Nest. The Honeywell Lyric T5 Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat is a perfect example. It looks beautiful, it works with both Amazon Alexa and Apple's Siri assistant, and it costs less than half of what you would pay for a Nest.

T-Mobile quietly increases the ‘ridiculous activation fee’ for every new line
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 18 views
John Legere has literally made a career by bashing other wireless carriers for "ridiculous" activation fees, "bullshit" extra add-ons, and "absurd" pricing schemes. So it's a little awkward that T-Mobile has very quietly increased the cost of its "SIM Starter Kit" -- that's an activation fee, let's be clear -- to $25. That's the second increase in a year, and means that over the last 365 days, the price of adding an extra line to T-Mobile has increased by $10 for no discernible reason. Continue reading...
