by Guest FoxNews.com- 0 replies
- 17 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ee2b6ab1d7d6194e84efa168ea1dec10.jpg A team of scientists from the U.K.’s Queen Mary University of London have discovered the secret behind what makes reindeer antlers so tough. In a report published Monday in the ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, the team said it used X-ray techniques and computer modeling to get a closer look at the antlers. The team also examined the antler structures at a nano level, which measures at roughly one thousandth of the thickness of a hair strand, in order to identify what makes them so strong.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9e700b49f46afd35179ae716beae33d5.jpg It's always frustrating when you receive a phone call from a strange number only to find out that it's a robocall trying to sell you on the fact that you just won a cruise to the Caribbean. Even more problematic are the rash of even more egregious spam and fraud calls which now seem more commonplace than ever before. Continue reading...

Rumors flying around suggest the devices will share many common features, including a brand-new all-screen design that might incorporate a fingerprint sensor. Images of the phones are not available at this time, but some designers out there already came up with convincing renders trying to imagine what these phones might look like. The following concept shows what the Galaxy S8 may look like, but to be honest, it could well be the iPhone 8. Continue readin…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/000b3612d481d72f8c276b7651f78137.jpg If you search Amazon right now for an Xbox One S bundle, you'll see dozens or even hundreds of results, some more relevant than others. And at the top of the page, you'll see the four most popular Xbox One S bundles — which makes perfect sense since that's what you searched for. If you click through on any of those bundles, you'll be able to buy them at Black Friday sale prices for one more week. What you won't see, however, is that there's a special Xbox One S sale going on right now that gives you prices that are even better than Black Friday's discounts. Don't worry though, because we'…

This tiny laptop charger replaces your giant power brick

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1080c3c4edbda275cc08fa37501780f5.jpg I've always hated buying replacement laptop chargers. They always seem overpriced, and no company really bothers putting design effort into them, even though you probably use it daily. So one of the things I'm quietly excited about with the move to USB-C is having interchangeable laptop chargers. Allowing anyone to build a charger will drive the price down, and with competition, companies might actually take the time to work on the design. Continue reading...

FUNAI, the Brazilian government’s Indian Affairs department, told FoxNews.com that it harnesses satellite and aircraft to check on tribes in the remote area.

The AirPod and BeatX wireless headphones that were supposed to make the iPhone 7 tolerable have been delayed for months, and now it looks like a key MacBook Pro accessory might not make it into stores before Christmas. The LG 5K monitor that Apple has touted as a replacement for its Thunderbolt Display was originally promised for an "early December" delivery.

Trump keeps expressing his views on Twitter, a practice that might continue even after he takes office in January. But Trump isn’t always very truthful on Twitter, and many of the claims he made using the social network during the campaign and after the election have been debunked by the media.

The company’s Kindle line of eReaders spawned a separate line of popular tablets, and now Amazon also has wildly popular streaming media devices and home speakers in its catalog. In fact, the Fire phone has been Amazon’s only big misstep so far — everything else has been a home run. Needless to say, Amazon’s Fire tablets, Kindle eBook readers and Echo speakers are all some of the hottest gifts of the holiday season this year. That’s due in…

Apple’s appealing against its EU tax bill, but thanks to President Trump, it might not need to

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4f7516f02b51c7a58eb2c0b5b9cdd488.jpg Apple has launched a formal appeal against a $14 billion tax ruling handed down earlier this year by the European Union. Apple has fought the decision since it was announced, painting Apple as a "convenient target" being used to generate "headlines" in the EU. At the heart of the claim is a dispute about where Apple's profits should be taxed. Under the agreement with the Irish government that Apple has had in place for decades, the bulk of the company's European profits are attributed to a "head office" in Ireland, and go virtually untaxed.

A new Toyota lawsuit over bad wiring is none of those things, and it's hard to imagine anyone being able to predict such a thing would ever happen. You see, Toyota's been using some fancy new wires that are great for the environment. In fact, they're so nature-friendly, they're actually mouse food. Continue reading...
