by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 23 views
As we wind 2016 down and start getting closer to new phone announcements early next year we’re certainly going to hear more and more rumors about those devices. Some rumors make sense, but some of them are pretty incredible and hard to believe. The latest “leak” about the Galaxy S8 seems like it falls in […] Come comment on this article: Crazy rumor suggests Samsung will use 8GB of RAM in the Galaxy S8 Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0015ca906eb201b5325c0e9f2896e7a3._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ea56758fcdf34034ceb108c954fed321.png Last week, Niantic shared details about two overlapping holiday events for Pokemon Go. The first began on December 25th and gave trainers increased odds of hatching Generation 2 Pokemon from eggs. The second begins on December 30th and boosts the spawn rate of Generation 1 starters like Charmander. The first event kicked off on Christmas Day, but along with the Generation 2 infusion, Niantic also snuck limited-time item packs on to the store at a discounted rate (just in time for all those iTunes gift cards).

Apple engineer describes what it was like to work on the original iPhone

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7eab4083e4ebb8e3bd94a696265638c1.jpg When Steve Jobs decided that Apple should go ahead and build its own branded smartphone, he entrusted his trusty lieutenant Scott Forstall to assemble a team of Apple's best and most ambitious engineers to develop what would ultimately be known as iOS. That Jobs was quick to give Forstall so much responsibility wasn't much of a surprise. Throughout the early-mid 2000s, Forstall played an increasingly important role in spearheading successive versions of OS X. What's more, Forstall already had a strong working relationship with Jobs stemming from their time together at NeXT. Continue readi…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bc8af8255f82f0044cb758f2b4d0241b.jpg If there’s only thing that’s true of Christmas (and Hanukkah) every single year, it’s this: you always seem to give people MUCH cooler gifts than you get from other people. Seriously, heaven forbid anyone take 2 seconds to glance at your Amazon wish list, right? That’s okay, giving gifts is way more fun than receiving them anyway, and you can always use some of the cash you scored on Christmas to buy yourself a treat or two. You know, a present to yourself for having survived yet another stressful holiday season. In this post, we’ve got 10 awesome suggestions for gadgets you can buy yours…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1d2dd4d62ea41d6bc42de10e11cf4c68.jpg It's the season of giving, and even though the biggest gift opening day of the year is now in our rear view mirror, Amazon wants to help you give a little more. The company's Give Back Box program is in full effect right now, and you can ship off your unwanted items — whether they're gifts you didn't ask for or just stuff you no longer need — to Goodwill for absolutely free, courtesy of Amazon.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/651b2a33328adf70b3503acfa572974c.jpg If this isn't the feel good story of the holiday season, we don't know what is. A few years ago, an Australian fellow who goes by the name of "Streaming Andrew" embarked on an important scientific journey with the goal of forever changing the way we view the universe. In this ground-breaking experiment, Andrew started running the stopwatch on his iPod, and he didn't stop. Minutes became hours, hour became days, days became weeks, weeks became months, and months become a year. But he didn't stop at 365 days. After all, what would the point of that be? Instead, Andrew wanted to see what wou…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f0dd526894af6bfc5190cde2dc3d9586.jpg One of the smartest things Tesla did to help boost sales of the Model S was to rollout an all encompassing Supercharger network which enabled Tesla owners to recharge their vehicles for free during long drives. This move from Tesla was nothing short of brilliant as it addressed previously valid concerns that the Model S wasn't an ideal car for road trips and perhaps even for long commutes.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bfc9f44a4b634df304e629c4d67e6595.jpg About a year ago, acclaimed director Ridley Scott indicated that there's a lot of story left to tell in the Alien franchise. In what will ultimately be a trilogy of sequels (which themselves are prequels to the 1979 original), Scott explained at a press conference last year that the planned trio films will address the "very basic questions posed in Alien: why the alien, who might have made it and where did it come from?” Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/dd07bfbb0fd96427d34870ecb0daf83e.jpg It's no secret that the linchpin in Tesla's ambitious plan to manufacture more than 500,000 cars per year by 2018 is the company's Gigafactory, an absolutely enormous factory that's still under construction in Sparks, Nevada. The primary task of the Gigafactory will be to churn out batteries at an impressive clip, and while construction will not be 100% complete for a few more years, the Gigafactory is already partially operational.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6a7ab683258f9af32c49066e8034fff0.jpg Whether you’re a Windows user or a Mac user, you’re probably pretty attached to your platform of choice. You’ve been a loyal customer for years, and you never really thought much about trying a new platform. But what if we told you there’s another platform out there that’s even better than either Windows or Mac for most common things like browsing the web, streaming media and light work? Google’s Chrome OS is faster, lighter weight and devices that run it are generally far more affordable than Windows or Mac computers. For example, check out the Acer Chromebook CB3-131-C3SZ, which costs less…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/022500491615cefb2eb2a818a0f2a5a9.gif The holidays can be a great time to catch up with family and friends, exchange gifts, and remind yourself how great life is. It can also be a stressful mess of errands, debt, and a reminder of why you don't associate with those people the other 364 days of the year. If you're feeling a bit more like the latter, watching this cheerful Swedish guy blow a Christmas tree into a million tiny smoking pieces is a two-minute vacation you should take right now.

From Beetlejuice and Back to the Future to Hudson Hawk and Lethal Weapon, it seemed that every mildly successful movie from the late 80s and early 90s eventually wound up as video game for the NES.

CyanogenMod was easily the biggest names in the Android ROM scene since its inception.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7bbb6df680f1847ddd49965792a8457a.png Since it's encrypted with your password or fingerprint, an iPhone is useless to anyone looking to force their way into the data stored on it. But is that really so? Not quite. Depending on iPhone model and iOS version it’s running, an iPhone may be more or less prone to hacking. If it’s not encrypted, then sophisticated software can obtain everything stored on a device, including deleted data. And a new report reveals the extensive amount of information an iPhone can give out when hacked the right way. Continue reading... Trending right now: This is how Apple Music plans to stea…
