‘Super Mario Run’ takes a quick post-launch fall from the charts
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 23 views
When Super Mario Run launched, it boomed and broke records for total number of downloads, even without Android’s help. But, like pretty much all hit mobile games and apps, it had to take a nosedive off the charts eventually. Unfortunately for Nintendo, though, it looks like that’s happening sooner rather than later. Just two […] Come comment on this article: ‘Super Mario Run’ takes a quick post-launch fall from the charts Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c5676bf65c68d378f3e14db3d2ea690c._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/378f62f0c1f8b99db653f4453376cae8.jpg A few weeks back, a rumor emerged claiming that Apple was planning to release a new Jet White color option to its iPhone 7 lineup. While details were predictably hazy, many people believed that Apple might introduce a white-colored iPhone 7 model just in time for the busy holiday shopping season. With the Christmas shopping season now firmly behind us, the rumored white iPhone 7 is still nowhere to be seen. Of course, that hasn't stopped folks fawning over actual physical mockups of what the mythical white iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus might look like. Continue reading... Trending righ…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1c6fbded752e32405a9db272e0ca7ca8.jpg You know how you watch the weather on the morning news and see that it’s going to be 75 degrees and sunny, but then you go to work and it ends up being 55 degrees with thunderstorms all day long? Yeah, well we hate that too. The weather is unpredictable and news stations really only cover major cities, which compounds matters if you live outside of a major city rather than in it. The Netatmo Weather Station is a potential solution. This nifty system consists of an indoor module and an outdoor module, giving you access to exact weather conditions outside and air quality inside. It even suppor…

- 12 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8bf172dd20d17ecefb6c75600d9724ff.jpg Over the past few months, Tesla's Autopilot feature has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism. And with good reason, the company's futuristic self-driving car technology has been involved in a number of accidents over the past year. While many of these incidents were the result of Tesla drivers over relying on the software and, in turn, engaging the feature in less than ideal driving situations, the perception that the software isn't yet ready for widespread use persists.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/36903b375eb0d164c7c8b7d4f07ace4c.png Rogue One is a great Star Wars movie even if it’s not included in the sagas — well it ties the first two trilogies, but the stars of the film aren’t Skywalker family members. But the final Rogue One version that we got to see at the movies isn’t similar to early concepts. A new video explains some of the rejected Rogue One concepts and shows some of the deleted scenes.

The last time NASA performed a Moon landing was the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, and while the United States does have plans to return, it looks like China is going to double up — and potentially triple up — on its lunar excursions before the U.S. can make its return.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f2112d77a3deb836e08798dad254754f.jpg Carrying self-defense devices is a necessity for many people who regularly find themselves in risky but unavoidable situations. People who work overnight shifts are a prime example. Many popular self-defense products are dangerous not just to potential muggers, but also to people themselves and to their loved ones. Just ask anyone whose son or daughter has accidentally pepper sprayed himself or herself. Here’s a better option: the ROBOCOPP 130dB SOS Sound Grenade is a non-lethal self-defense product that sounds a piercing 130-decibel alarm when activated. That’s more than loud enough to s…

But when it comes to holiday travel, things get busy, and the queues get big. A video shot yesterday at the Supercharger in Barstow, CA shows a line at the station of Teslas waiting to juice up. The driver who shot the video was number 21 in the queue, and with wait times upwards of two hours just to get to the charger, Tesla's going to have some unhappy customers on its hands.
