Cops steal iPhone to get around encryption problem
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 34 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/716d17dd2cae0adcd473b463405282af.jpg February 2016 might seem like a long-ago date, before the dark times really began. But if you cast your mind back that far, you'll remember that the news was dominated with a fight between the FBI and Apple over iPhone encryption. It pitted vast teams of lawyers, politicians and bloggers against each other in an impassionated argument (which all eventually fizzled out). So rather than going down the same path, the UK's Metropolitan Police worked out that they could just mug unsuspecting criminals and search their iPhones before they ever had a chance to lock them.

This is the best-selling iPhone 7 case on Amazon

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0c011efd2ed7ab8cc727884f6d7145ac.jpg No matter how careful you are, you need a case to protect your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus. The aluminum Apple uses for the phone’s housing is just so slippery that there’s no way to avoid the occasional drop without adding a layer of grip and protection. Clear cases are great because they don’t ruin the phone’s sleek design, but the downside is that they don’t really protect from big drops. Meanwhile, rugged cases will preserve your phone much better, but they’re far to big and bulky. Isn’t there a happy medium? Why yes, there is, and it’s called the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Style Premium Hy…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b408f8c12ebba832cf7a3db5e188e521.jpg There’s a reason 3D printing is so popular these days: it’s awesome. Instead of having to spend thousands of dollars working with a prototyping company, you can create a physical object yourself in no time at all. Of course, you’ll need to know how to use 3D design software before you can 3D print anything, and printers themselves can be very costly. If you’re more of a casual user or an artist, you have another option that’s far more affordable — and far more fun. Check out the Soyan 3D Printing Pen, which lets you draw physical 3D objects in mid-air. Continue reading... Trending r…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4f7516f02b51c7a58eb2c0b5b9cdd488.jpg Even though Apple has long been one of the most successful, profitable and closely-observed tech companies on the planet, it's absolutely dumbfounding how often armchair pundits and analysts manage to get everything wrong about the company. In a dynamic that still defies explanation, Apple's success is rarely applauded; on the contrary, its success is often used to justify the position that the company has peaked and is about to undergo an unforgiving fall from grace.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0ef52a814f191bb4f7180bce2c415a3d.png The periodic table just got some new members, as the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has officially accepted new names for four elements. Element numbers 113, 115, 117 and 118 will no longer be known by their placeholder names, and instead have all-new monikers decided upon by their discoverers. The discoveries were first recognized about a year ago, and the proposed names for them were decided upon this past June. Now, chemistry's highest group has decided they are valid and will move forward with the all-new labels. Continue reading... Trending right now: You…

Fitbit Blaze review

By now, Fitbit is coming close to being synonymous with “activity tracker” and the brand name is occasionally tossed around as a generic term to describe any similar device. That does mean the company has a lot to live up to in terms of delivering solid devices that meet the expectations of buyers.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bcbd58e80d48769808d0c5deede4bf66.jpg At this point, anyone who was planning on buying their kids (and, let's be real, themselves) a NES Classic Edition as a Christmas present has probably resigned themselves to paying a strange man off Craigslist four times the asking price. The Classic is out of stock everywhere, and even though Target is drip-feeding consoles into stores, you have to get crazy lucky to actually buy one. An unlikely hero is coming to the rescue, however: Urban Outfitters, the neo-hipster skinny jeans vendor, has announced it's going to be selling the NES Classic Edition online.

In a first letter, the FCC laid out its problems with AT&T's "zero rating" policy and how it violates the principle of net neutrality. In a response, AT&T said (paraphrasing a little here) "nah, we thought about it, but it's all good." The FCC's response? Not so fast. Continue reading...

But although most chargers you buy off the internet will work just fine most of the time, a series of recent tests have shown that there's real danger to having a fake charger plugged in at home.

Somehow, the NES Classic wasn’t the hottest game console this Thanksgiving

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/080ed22d96c2be119f1e297a00d0b9a1.jpg The NES Classic Edition has been an instant hit for Nintendo. You probably could've guessed that a $60 console preloaded with a bunch of retro games would be cannon fodder for the Instagram gamers of this world, but no-one predicted the supply shortages Nintendo has faced. The difficulty in getting consoles from stores has pushed many people onto eBay, and made the online marketplace the best (if most expensive) place to buy the Classic. But despite that, data from eBay shows that traditional, boring, non-hipster games consoles killed the NES Classic Edition over Thanksgiving. Continue…
