http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/dbb6a63d72c451b66bbb64efb9990118.jpgThe trio of U.S. Presidential debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have been an absolute goldmine for comedians and late night talk show hosts. From the unlikely emergence of Ken Bone as a known entity to Donald Trump boldly proclaiming that nobody respects women more than he does, the debates have provided an incredible amount of source material for political satirists and journalists of all kinds. Saturday Night Life in particular has been bringing its A-game with respect to the current election. In particular, the sketch show has been doing a tremendous job of skewering and spoo…

Huawei is taking a page out of Samsung’s playbook and will be launching a curved variant of the Mate 9 this year. There will be two models, one with a standard screen and one with a curved screen, but they’ll otherwise have nearly identical specs.

After the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, many are looking forward to the Galaxy S8 announcement in late February during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. But, there’s just one problem: the phone may launch later than expected because Samsung still doesn’t know what caused the Galaxy Note 7 to explode. Details after the break.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/31e786304858b5809957a1d5173eff80.jpg Apple's new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have twice as much storage as last year's iPhone models, but storage on mobile devices is a lot like money: you can never have too much. Portable flash drives with Lighting connectors are hugely popular right now because they offer an easy way to add extra storage space to your iPhone, and right now Amazon is offering great discounts on four popular iPhone flash drive models — but you only have one day left to grab these deals.

In fact, the Google Pixel only sports an IP53 rating which means that it technically isn't designed to even withstand splashes of water.

AT&T will reportedly pay between $105 and $110 per share for Time Warner, making the deal worth more than $80 billion.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/28acfb0242edfb2a87a0ab4248a33bbf.jpgHackers yesterday attacked Dyn, a major DNS service, with an absolutely massive DDoS attack that swiftly took a number of popular services, including Twitter, PayPal and Spotify, offline. While DDoS attacks are nothing new in and of themselves, there are two aspects to yesterday's widespread assault on the Internet that are particularly intriguing. One, the scale and effectiveness of yesterday's DDoS attack was impressive and brutal. All the more so because just when Dyn had seemingly addressed the issue, the actors behind the attack would launch another deluge of garbage requests. Two, the ma…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9c851cd5cbbfd07b97ab70f7bc8a1a24.jpgDuring the original iPhone introduction, Steve Jobs referenced a favorite quote of his from legendary computer scientist Alan Kay: "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware." This philosophy has formed the bedrock of Apple's business strategy for decades now, save for that brief dark period during the mid-90s when Apple sanctioned an ill-fated Mac clone initiative. Apple's devotion to both software and hardware is part of the reason why the iPhone often outclasses every other smartphones on the market. Undeniably, the ability to fine tune software and hardwar…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/87c010ce2217015e401bfa0d183ac2c6.jpgA lot has been made recently over Siri's shortcomings as an intelligent personal assistant, especially relative to the capabilities of Google Assistant on Google's new Pixel phones. Speaking to this point, Walt Mossberg not too long ago penned a widely circulated post lambasting Siri for its frustrating inability to answer layered questions. Siri has undoubtedly come a long ways since its introduction on the iPhone 4s back in 2011, but there's no getting around the fact that Apple's intelligent personal assistant faces increasingly stiff competition not only from Google, but also from Amazon a…

But it was released before Qualcomm unleashed its new Snapdragon 821 processor, and OnePlus doesn't like having outdated specs. As a result, it looks like OnePlus is planning on releasing a version of the OnePlus 3 with bumped-up specs called the OnePlus 3T.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/49bfb1b91d3b56356114db3e8560cd8b.jpgApple's iOS 10 software has been available for a while now. In fact, the latest version of Apple's popular mobile platform is already installed on more than two-thirds of all active iOS devices in the world, and we're likely less than a week away from seeing the next major build, iOS 10.1, released to the public. Tens of millions of people use iOS 10 each day, and yet Apple added so many new features to the platform that many people miss things they would actually benefit from a great deal.

Martin with violating The Espionage Act after authorities discovered that he took upwards of 50 TB of classified data from the NSA to his home. While the precise details regarding the stolen data remain murky, the New York Times a few weeks ago claimed that it may have included "highly classified computer codes developed to hack into the networks of foreign governments” like China, North Korea and Iran.

For example, they're lighter, they're more portable and they offer much better battery life.

While $1 billion seems like a steal today, remember that Facebook back in 2006 was only two years old and it was no surefire guarantee that it would go onto become the tech giant it is today. Remember, MySpace was still alive and kicking back in 2006 and Facebook at the time was still closed off to anyone without a .edu email address.
