Microsoft bombards Windows 10 users with popups for its bad Chrome extension
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 28 views
Every time it looks like Microsoft has learned its lesson, it goes out and finds an exciting new way to make people angry again. Just last week, in response to criticisms regarding data collection on Windows 10, the company announced that it would introduce a new privacy dashboard and simplify the privacy settings set up experience. It's a step in the right direction as the company attempts to regain the trust of its users, but now, a week later, reports are circulating that Microsoft is pushing desktop popups to Chrome users on Windows 10.

Amazon’s hottest Kindle bundle has been on sale all week, and we got some great feedback from bargain hunters when we told you about the sale this past Monday. In fact, we got so much feedback that we want to make sure no one missed this great deal. Through the end of the day on Sunday, January 22, Amazon is knocking an extra $20 off its already discounted price on the Kindle Essentials Bundle, which includes the wildly popular 6-inch Kindle, an Amazon cover and a power adapter. Separately, the three items cost $130 and Amazon normally sells them for $115. But if you use the promo code KINDLEBUNDLE, you’ll get this hot bundle for just $94.97. Some highlights from the p…

The success of flawed DirecTV Now proves that consumers are desperate for TV streaming
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 23 views
DirecTV Now, AT&T's fledgling TV streaming service, is already off to an impressive start. In a recent SEC filing, AT&T informs us that the DirecTV Now service managed to attract 200,000 paying subscribers during its first four weeks of availability. All in all, that's not too shabby given that the streaming service has had its fair share of technical hiccups along the way. Continue reading...

Sonos wants to integrate voice assistants into its speaker lineup
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 25 views
Sonos was previously the king of a pretty uncontested market. They made premium WiFi speaker systems that were a little more efficient than Bluetooth speakers, and they made their equipment compatible with as many things as possible. So far that’s been a pretty successful strategy, but with the rise of other “smart” speakers like Alexa, […] Come comment on this article: Sonos wants to integrate voice assistants into its speaker lineup Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Computers can already hold a massive amount of instantly-retrievable data in a manner that puts most humans to shame, but getting them to actually display intelligence is an entirely different challenge. A team of researchers from Northwestern University just made a huge stride towards that goal with a computational model that actually outperforms the average American adult in a standard intelligence test.

Here’s why Nintendo thinks the Switch will succeed where the Wii U failed
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 36 views
Following the Nintendo Switch hands-on event in New York City last week, Nintendo of America CEO Reggie Fils-Aime told Polygon that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be the final first-party game released for the Wii U. In other words, after the game launches on March 3rd, the Wii U will be dead, thus ending one of the more disappointing chapters in the company's long and storied history. Everything about the Wii U, from its underpowered hardware to its oversized controller to its embarrassingly dated online platform, was confusing and off-putting. Nintendo is painfully aware of all of those mistakes, but how does the company plan on avoiding them with the u…

Survey shows actually yes, you would download a car

In the mid-2000s, the movie industry sponsored a series of ads that equated illegally downloading a movie to committing a series of badly-shot crimes out of a low-budget Oceans movie. It was supposed to burn into the collective psyche that downloading a movie is BAD and ILLEGAL and you'll probably end up in jail with an implausibly bad haircut. Continue reading...

Even Microsoft is giving up on Windows Phone
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

The hit sandbox game Minecraft is a pretty big deal on mobile devices, and it's long been a top-selling title on Android and iOS. The game is developed by Mojang which is owned by Microsoft, making it a natural fit for Windows Phone devices, or at least that's what you'd probably think. Apparently that's not the case, as Windows Central is reporting that the Windows Phone version of Minecraft Pocket Edition is now essentially dead in the water, and will no longer receive updates or patches. Why? Because nobody plays it. Continue reading... Trending right now: Will Apple finally change the iPhone name this year? This video showing over 100 years of global warmin…

Will Apple finally change the iPhone name this year?
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 22 views
As far as the rumormill is concerned, Apple is dead-set to release a major iPhone this year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of rounded corners and pinch-to-zoom. Most people are assuming it's going to be called the iPhone 8, keeping Apple's tradition of adding a number every time it makes a major version upgrade. But "iPhone 8" has some major problems for Apple. It's boring, far too evolutionary, and most Apple fans can't count that high. (Please, be gentle in the comments.) Continue reading...
