http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a82da8d6400d35ed536a517b0a9aab34.jpgDespite some claims to the contrary, Apple hasn't scaled back innovation across its Mac line. Sure, Apple's event last week didn't provide us with any updates regarding the iMac, Mac Pro or Mac Mini, but the recently unveiled Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro appears to be a huge step forward in usability. Looking even beyond the upcoming MacBook Pro release, Apple is reportedly working on a few more surprises for its notebook line. According to a new report from ETNews, Apple is actively exploring outfitting upcoming MacBooks with OLED display panels. The news shouldn't come as much of a surpr…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d1fbbcd1fa108efb29862c058f4130e2.jpgThe brand new MacBook Pro may be Apple’s best laptop to date, but it’s also one of the most criticized products in recent Apple history. Many things have been irking Apple fans. Some are trivial, like the lack of the boot sound or the lack of more color options. Others are slightly more serious, like the death of the MagSafe connector, or the absence of the SD card reader and all the other ports people want. But the MacBook Pro’s real “problems” are the lack of better graphics options, and the RAM, which is capped at 16GB. Apple is to blame for most of these courageous design decisions. The co…

It's also always fun to dig around online and see all of the creative costumes people came up with for themselves... and for their pets, obviously. Some people spent weeks or even months planning out their Halloween costumes, and they managed to put together some truly impressive creations.

Fraud is a big problem on the Play Store. Google has taken steps to combat it, but there’s still a considerable amount of less-than-trustworthy applications out there.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4238a1837f8cd946953df47076911beb.jpgSome months are better than others when it comes to new arrivals on Netflix, but this November is one of the worst we've ever seen. The first day of the month is typically when Netflix drops all of its best licensed films, but I couldn't find a single movie to recommend from the November 1st selection. So with that in mind, I figure our list of the 10 best additions to Netflix is more important than ever this month. Seriously, it's slim pickings in November.

The laptop is meant to replace the MacBook Air, which isn’t receiving any more updates. It’s also not as exciting as the 13-inch and 15-inch versions that come with a Touch Bar. That said, the first benchmarks for the laptop have emerged, proving that the MacBook Air replacement is faster than last year’s base MacBook Pro option.
