Newest Synaptics fingerprint scanner might be the death of smartphone bezels
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 20 views
We’ve been hearing rumor after rumor that eventually some manufacturer is going to release a device with a fingerprint scanner built into the glass of the display. No more buttons, just a huge screen that can handle all buttons and sensors. We still haven’t seen that device, but the first ever optical fingerprint sensor from […] Come comment on this article: Newest Synaptics fingerprint scanner might be the death of smartphone bezels Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6aecc81850c6737e38a1d324c8c74800._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8aeec641ed2fd29c95869dc5e52b7fa0.jpg We're not going to officially know how iPhone 7 sales are holding up until Apple releases its earnings report for the holiday quarter this coming January. In the meantime, we've seen some speculative evidence which suggests that overall iPhone sales, while certainly solid, aren't exactly stellar. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/01e4d5924920fd2f49f2bb4264f82d1e.png Volkswagen's diesel emissions cheating woes just refuse to die down, and now that buyers who ended up with the vehicles are able to sell them back to the company, things are getting very interesting. Some particularly disgruntled VW customers have taken the somewhat odd but totally understandable step of completely stripping their diesel cars before handing them back over to Volkswagen for the agreed upon settlement.

The company is pushing hard to make universal play between the console and PC a regular thing, and it's also extending its efforts to apps. Today, the company announced that cloud storage app Dropbox is now available on the Xbox One, if that's a thing you're interested in. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2acf513a41c7efce89d3b98b7f9b3592.jpg I’m as excited as every other Star Wars fan out there to see Rogue One, Disney’s first bold Star Wars move. We’re looking at a standalone movie that will have no sequels, and which tells a story meant to bridge together the first two trilogies. And I hope it won’t have the happy end we’re used to seeing in Hollywood creations. I hope that everyone dies in the end, even the new droid that’s going to steal our hearts and make us laugh in the process. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1864855d8938049838841ecdb6ba6418.png Music is life for a lot of people, and the original iPod made it possible to carry an entire song library around with you. Today, there are a million options for mobile music, but the iPod still holds a special place in our hearts. That being said, I'm not sure even the most diehard (and rich) iPod fan could rationalize spending a cool $200,000 for this unopened original. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a6491d5944c1eb6ce398e3839fb44147.jpg The same two consoles that have dominated sales in previous years are still the hottest gaming rigs in town. Sure, they have received updates that make them even more appealing, but the PS4 and the Xbox One are still the undisputed kings of the console gaming universe. This year they’re better and cheaper than ever. Sony and Microsoft slashed the prices for the PS4 and Xbox One S for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Green Monday.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/685a291198f0f5e4d8453eebeae49003.jpg Black Friday brought some killer Amazon deals with it last month, and some of the best bargains on the site covered Amazon’s own hardware products. While the Fire phone fizzled out immediately following its launch, Amazon has more than redeemed itself with a thriving line of speakers fueled by the company’s virtual personal assistant, Alexa. Well guess what: with the holidays fast approaching, Black Friday prices are back for the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Tap, and more.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ca9ff3f83b7b74bd3b4749fa737bc7d9.png Some people really go all-out when it comes to holiday lighting. They aren't satisfied with a few strings of lights here and there, and maybe a goofy Santa in their yard; they really need to show the neighborhood that they have more holiday spirit than everyone else, electric bills and light pollution be damned. If you live next to one of those people, it can be difficult to compete, but some folks in similar situations have found a way to win, and with as little effort as humanly possible.
