Samsung Pay adding online in-app payments, other new features
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 36 views
Samsung Pay is roughly one year old, and what better way to celebrate the birthday of a service than by adding new features and services to it? Samsung has some big plans to close out 2016 with its mobile payment system, including bringing it to new countries, integrating it into Masterpass, and allowing Samsung Pay […] Come comment on this article: Samsung Pay adding online in-app payments, other new features Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4bd776813e2d7a06facce89100ed2c6e._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f8724b4b92e30f1e91b398d0b45f3204.jpgThe discontinuation of the Galaxy Note 7 means that Samsung is effectively out of the running this holiday season, since its most recent flagship smartphone is now about seven months old. That means if shoppers in the United States want a fresh new top-of-the-line smartphone this holiday season, they basically have four phones to choose from. In the Android camp, Google's new Pixel and Pixel XL are the cream of the crop, offering the latest and greatest version of Android powered by cutting-edge components that are stuffed into a sleek, though familiar housing.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2853f41c767c3f3f2dbe76b904111745.jpgLater today, the collective eyes of the sports world will be fixated on game 1 of the World Series pitting the Chicago Cubs against the Cleveland Indians. As many have pointed out, the 2016 World Series matchup was seemingly lifted out of a movie as both the Cubs and the Indians currently sport the longest World Series championship droughts in the majors. The Indians haven't won a title in 67 years but the hapless Cubs have it way worse, without a title to their name in 107 long and frustrating seasons.

macOS code practically confirms the 2016 MacBook Pro’s most important upcoming feature

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c1b82f8141e4d32fccf7f46c07ec9d4f.jpgApple will unveil a new MacBook Pro model later this week, one that’s going to bring fans of the series a well-deserved redesigned. The laptop is getting thinner and lighter, reports have said, borrowing certain design lines from the 12-inch MacBook. But perhaps the most important change concerns the keyboard. Apple is rumored to replace its six-row keyboard found on any MacBook with one that has just five rows. A touch-friendly OLED display will replace the current function row keys and will offer users context aware shortcuts — and perhaps access to a Touch ID sensor. Apple has not confirmed…

The Tesla Model S P100D has smashed another record with a blistering 10.76 second quarter-mile

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/565148d61ec31ee1fb71c22a747ced01.jpgWhen we talk about how fast Tesla's are, we tend to focus on how fast Tesla's vehicles can go from 0-60. The recently released Tesla Model S P100D, for example, is an absolute rocket and can go from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds flat. Understandably proud, Tesla CEO Elon Musk appropriately calls the Model S P100D the fastest production car in the world. But here's the thing: nobody in the real world really lives in a universe where 0-60 time even matters. And yet, we're still overly concerned with 0-60 times as if getting up to that speed in 2.5 seconds as opposed to 3 seconds is all that important or s…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4682fb1ad8aa9e9a316b29774edb8826.jpg If you're a home owner, one of your worst nightmares is coming home to find your basement flooded and everything down there ruined. Maybe heavy rain seeped in, maybe your water heater blew, or maybe your washing machine malfunctioned. Whatever the case, a flood can easily cost thousands of dollars in damage, and that's on top of the headache of drying everything out.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/be4ab5a38ba1fbf43669e35615c600a7.jpgSamsung still has a massive Galaxy Note 7 recall to deal with, and that’s the only Samsung smartphone that has been exploding at a much higher rate than what would be statistically acceptable. The fact is that anything packing a battery has a theoretical risk of explosion. If it occurs due to faulty components, as is the case of the Galaxy Note 7, then there’s a real danger that must be addressed. But other Samsung phones are safe, even if there are sporadic reports of non-Note 7 handsets exploding. Such is the case with the Galaxy S7 edge, a six-months-old phone that’s about as safe as any ot…

The title is coming to both Wii U and Nintendo's recently announced Switch console, but all the footage we've seen so far has come from the Wii U version of the game. Sadly, that's also true of this new footage, but that shouldn't stop you from watching 40 minutes of gameplay from what might be the Wii U's last great game.

Fresh from its $80 billion takeover of Time Warner, AT&T has announced an internet-only streaming service, DirecTV, that is aimed squarely at Netflix subscribers. That would always be seen as a threat by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. But after AT&T's takeover of Time Warner, the company now owns big-name content producers like HBO and CNN, and the internet pipes that deliver those to the consumer. That's a dangerous combination.
