Verizon makes a U-turn and decides to kill Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices
by Guest Jeff Causey- 0 replies
- 29 views
The end is nigh for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 as the manufacturer has announced a software update rolling out soon that will kill any devices not yet replaced by consumers. Distribution of the update is being handled by carriers in the U.S., which resulted in the situation where Verizon was apparently going to be […] Come comment on this article: Verizon makes a U-turn and decides to kill Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/16fece64e18eb20ea16c9ce84db74519._.gif News via TalkAndroid

T-Mobile is taking a big swing at AT&T with their latest special offer.

How I knew Yahoo had been hacked before Yahoo did

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d1b95387e831b3947aac9c1c5c176aa9.jpg So, Yahoo got hacked again. It's a new, bigger breach than the one Yahoo most recently admitted to, and over a billion user accounts have been compromised. Yahoo's complete lack of adequate security — and the company's habit of keeping these things quiet for literally years after they've happened — is a bit of a running joke in the tech community. For a Yahoo user, though, it's really no laughing matter. I have a confession: I knew Yahoo had been hacked, again. In fact, I knew of Yahoo's re-hacking back in September. For those of us that still use Yahoo services for any reason — I use it …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1380c2b6f28b927285841c3023fcffd1.jpg Nintendo’s NES Classic Edition console is one of the hottest gifts this Christmas seasons, and stores are having a hard time keeping up with demand. Earlier this week, Amazon announced that the NES Classic would be back in stock in select cities, and only Amazon Prime Now subscribers would be able to get one. However, Amazon isn’t the only retailer looking to sell the hot console, and Best Buy will soon have it in stock as well. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1226e8af2e27fcb30bf9537a3e062495.jpg Bargain hunters, it looks like Christmas came early this year. Amazon is hosting not one but two massive one-day sales on Thursday, and you're definitely going to want to check them both out. The first sale offers savings of up to 40% off of Amazon's already discounted prices on 14 different networking products from TP-Link. Included among them are several top-rated wireless AC routers (including a cool one with a built-in touchscreen), Wi-Fi range extenders, Powerline internet kits and even a cable modem that will save you $10 a month on your home internet bill if you buy this one and retur…

Samsung’s Galaxy S8 will likely still dominate the iPhone 8 in one key area
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 29 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/cae9dae75e20cc2c2191623a7b9cd676.jpg Apple's latest iPhones outclass all of the competition in so many ways. The phones' design, while a bit too familiar at this point, is still so striking that Android vendors from Samsung and HTC to Google and Xiaomi have copied it to some degree. In fact, both HTC and Google have produced iPhone copies that are so close to the original, it's laughable. But design isn't the only area where Apple has built a clear lead. Far more important is the massive advantage in performance offered by Apple's new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and the much smoother user experience that is supported by a vastl…

This was a harrowing year, but as long as Netflix keeps grooming its library of original and licensed content, the world will keep on turning.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c31735984de9e01c49dd936d40ca3375.gif If you've ever had a nightmare about an asteroid or other large extraterrestrial object crashing into the Earth, you probably imagined it hitting solid ground. That could very well happen, but considering how much of our planet is covered by oceans, you'd be better off planning for an aquatic impact instead. Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory cooked up a visualization of just such a scenario, and it's equal parts reassuring and horrifying. Continue reading...

You can still buy Apple’s AirPods in time for Christmas, for a price
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0cce5ecac047628c22b90b851ef80cea.jpg Apple finally started selling the AirPods wireless headphones earlier this week, but there’s no point getting excited about finding a pair in stores for Christmas. Apple already ran out of its first batch of AirPods, and the device is significantly delayed. Most people won’t be able to buy their AirPods until 2017, and Apple will be missing out on the huge holiday shopping sprees. But those of you determined to get the headphones in time for Christmas still have a chance: You can go to eBay and buy a pair right now, but be ready for exorbitant prices. Continue reading...

Uber is ignoring California rules on self-driving cars, and the government is pissed

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/91d01b3a7718e1390f84ad34acfd2953.jpg Uber, the quintessential disrupter, has standard method of crashing into a new market: set up shop with low prices and zero permits for drivers; get the locals hooked on cheap cab rides; strong-arm the local government into legalizing ridesharing, and then slowly raise prices to make profit and pay for the taxes it starts paying. It's a classic innovate first, ask permission later policy, and it's worked in Montreal, Paris, New York, and basically anywhere else Uber has expanded. So it makes perfect sense that when it launched its self-driving car pilot program in San Francisco, Uber didn…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/484b7f383c7b25fb24d64079188ae3e8.jpg Camera quality is one of the biggest differences between smartphones these days. Sure, if you spend $600 on a phone, it's going to take half-decent photos. But the gap between the best and the worst smartphones -- and big, dedicated DSLRs -- is still very much existent. Techradar decided to run a side-by-side comparison between the iPhone 7, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S7, LG G5, HTC 10 and Sony Xperia ZX. A Nikon D800E was also used as an unfair benchmark for all phones to aspire to. Continue reading... Trending right now: Upset VW owners are stripping their buyback cars to th…

Cook is one of those VR enthusiasts, the kind who lapse into geek-speak a la Elon Musk about whether this or the virtual world is the real one. Who are way past the novelty of playing ping pong with a friend in a virtual space and more into things like, well, in EyeMynd’s case -- figuring out how a user can operate inside a VR environment using just their mind…

There might be one hot new iPhone 8 feature we didn’t see coming
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 20 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1a0013ff8818dfcf0b4d8b1da9ea840d.jpg Apple has never made an iPhone with expandable storage or dual SIM support. While we’re probably never going to see Apple allow microSD storage on an iPhone since it would dramatically impact iPhone ASPs, the company may offer us a dual SIM iPhone in not-so-distant future. The move may sound counterintuitive considering the things Apple has been doing recently with its iPhone line. Apple is looking to reduce the number of ports and other openings on the iPhone for a few reasons, including water-resistance. Not to mention that internal space is a high-prized commodity for the iPhone, which…
