Apple wants to make it impossible for anyone to snoop on your iPhone screen
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 25 views
It’s completely your prerogative to sext with a special someone while you’re sitting between two strangers on a plane. After all, it's your phone, and you can do whatever you want on it. But that doesn’t mean others can’t look at that screen, especially considering that iPhones have pretty big displays, and they’re only getting bigger. But Apple is working on new technology that will make it nearly impossible for those around you to snoop on what you’re doing, whether it’s sharing certain pics via texts or working on an important presentation.

Huawei is one of the world’s biggest handset manufacturers, behind only Apple and Samsung. If you live in the US, though, you’d probably have no idea, as the company has consistently struggled to develop a meaningful relationship with any of the big four carriers. Part of the reason for Huawei’s struggles in the US has […] Come comment on this article: Huawei set to launch a flagship device with AT&T next year Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Controlling all of your gadgets and gear with voice commands using a solution like Alexa is pretty awesome. That said, there are still tons of gaps in functionality. Try as you might, but you can’t do everything you want to do using Alexa. That’s where a good universal remote comes into play, and there’s no better brand in the business than Logitech Harmony. These remotes can obviously be quite expensive though, which is why it’s so important to catch good sales whenever you can. Definitely check out the five different Harmony remote models below, which are all discounted right now on Amazon. Logitech Harmony 650 Support for 8 devices is enabled at software setup -…

Cellular Apple Watch is coming soon, massive report claims
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 26 views
A late Friday scoop from Bloomberg and its star Apple reporter, Mark Gurman, suggests that Apple is going to release a cellular version of the Apple Watch before the end of the year. The report -- which features the investigative work of three separate Bloomberg reporters, something that's rare for a tech rumor -- cites "people familiar with the matter" as saying Apple is "planning to release a version of its smartwatch later this year that can connect directly to cellular networks."

Like every year, we have two types of new iPhone rumors: reports from distinct sources that seem to back each other up, and then the crazy iPhone stories that seem hard to believe. The following story falls into the second category, as it claims Apple may launch two differently sized iPhone 8 versions. Continue reading...

Can someone please explain how this ‘crash’ ended in a car standing perfectly upright?
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 16 views
There's really nothing funny about car crashes, at least most of the time. They can be devastating, tragic events, but we're willing to call this particular one a very rare exception to that rule. We know almost nothing about the actual incident other than a 19-second video of the aftermath, but that extremely brief glimpse is still more than enough to fill us with many, many questions. For example: how on Earth did a full-sized passenger vehicle end up sitting perfectly straight on its rear end? Continue reading...

This $16 gadget adds microSD support to any iPhone in seconds

Honestly, we have no idea how so many iPhone users out there live with all of the pop-up messages and errors they get when their storage is near capacity. iCloud backups fail, errors appear when you go to capture a new video… it’s completely unbearable. There are plenty of cloud storage solutions that can help, but some people don’t want to pay for online storage while others don’t trust third-parties to keep their private files safe. Apple will never build an iPhone with expandable memory, but there is a solution out there for anyone who wants to quickly and easily add microSD support to an iPhone. Check out the Lexar microSD To Lightning Reader, you’ll be glad you did. …

Verizon is rolling out real-world gigabit LTE in the coming months, report says
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 25 views
Yesterday, we reported on a real-world trial that Verizon conducted in Florida, which used a mix of licensed and unlicensed spectrum to achieve gigabit speeds over existing LTE technology. Thanks to an RCR Wireless interview with Mike Haberman, Verizon's VP of network support, we now know that the same gigabit technology is going to be popping up on cell sites "all across the country." Haberman said that hardware upgrades would be happening over the next couple of months, although it's likely going to be a little longer than that until you see a difference on your smartphone.

Before Apple accidentally flooded the internet with iPhone 8 data via a HomePod firmware leak, the Galaxy Note 8 was dominating headlines. Having been the subject of countless leaks itself, the Note 8 will finally see the light of day on August 23rd in NYC, where Samsung will host an Unpacked event to reveal the phone. But now, with just weeks left to go until the event, we suddenly find ourselves distracted by a stunning Galaxy S9 concept that has us looking ahead to 2018. Continue reading...

Long-range aircraft testing must be an incredibly tiring job. I mean, imagine cruising around in a plane for 17 hours at a time, putting fancy new jet engines to the test and ensuring that they can endure intercontinental flights on a regular basis. Boeing's glorious 787 Dreamliner needed to do just that, equipped with a pair of shiny Rolls-Royce engines which needed to put through their paces. So, how do you make a day-long flight interesting?

Early on Friday, we learned that the fourth episode of the current Game of Thrones season leaked online. The leak turned out to be legitimate, and we all assumed it had to be the work of the same hackers behind the recent massive HBO cyber attack. On Monday, the script for the same episode and episodes of other HBO shows leaked online, while subsequent reports told us that as much as 1.5TB of data was stolen during the heist. The hackers, however, are not behind Friday’s leak. Continue reading...

Bungie is hoping to take the PC gaming world by storm when it brings Destiny 2 to the Windows platform in late October, roughly two months after its debut on PS4 and Xbox One. The very real possibility of cheaters ruining the Destiny experience on PC is something gamers have been asking a lot about, and now Bungie has finally revealed its plans to mitigate game-breaking cheats. Unfortunately, Bungie's plans might also cause headaches for legitimate players, too. Continue reading...

Dyson V6 Animal Cord-free Vacuum, clean my house. I said Dyson V6 Animal Cord-free Vacuum, clean my house! Try as we might, Dyson’s awesome vacuum cleaners never seem to listen when we tell them to start cleaning on their own. Luckily, that’s why iRobot added Alexa integration to a number of its best robot vacuums. A simple voice command given to any Alexa smart speaker will send your Roomba on its way, but most compatible vacuums are very pricey. There is one affordable model though, and it’s currently being discounted even further on Amazon.

Following a massive security breach at HBO earlier this week, the fourth episode of Game of Thrones season 7 has leaked online in full. In a statement earlier this week, the network confirmed that it had been the victim of a hacking incident "which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information." Scripts of upcoming shows and full episodes of Ballers and Room 104 made their way online, with the hackers promising that more leaks would be "coming soon." On Friday, the hackers seemingly kept their word by sharing the fourth episode of the new season of Game of Thrones (set to air on the network this Sunday) on the Freefolk subreddit.

In a bizarre turn of events, firmware from Apple's forthcoming HomePod speaker has provided us with more concrete information about the iPhone 8 than any other source to date. Ever since Apple released the firmware a few days ago -- an embarrassing mistake to say the least -- developers have managed to glean all sorts of interesting information regarding the company's next-gen iPhone. Over the last few days alone, we've seen evidence pointing to the iPhone 8's final form factor along with information regarding the device's advanced facial recognition features. Continue reading...

Back in May, the WannaCry ransomware hit businesses, hospitals, and even national infrastructure across the globe. Ransomware like WannaCry encrypts your files and holds them hostage, demanding payment in Bitcoin before the encrypted files will be released. The authors of WannaCry have been slowly collecting money from victims for months, and thanks to the magic of Bitcoin, we can tell that they've started to cash out. Continue reading...

Over 60,000 people have cancelled their Tesla Model 3 orders because they’re tired of waiting
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

How long you're willing to wait for something depends largely on what exactly it is. Waiting ten minutes for a latte at the coffee shop seems like a hassle, but people will drop hundreds of dollars on smartphones, game consoles, and other gadgets weeks or even months ahead of when they'll be getting their hands on the final product. When it comes to electric vehicles — more specifically, Tesla's just-launched Model 3 — it appears many would-be buyers are realizing their eagerness to own the vehicle has been beaten by their own impatience, and a whopping 63,000 people have now cancelled their Model 3 preorders, according to Elon Musk.
