Samsung accused of not wanting to pay after exploding Note 7s caused serious damage
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/746ff04ff824f9c26a9637d23d1442dd.jpgCompanies like Samsung have large internal public relations departments, and they contract outside firms as well to assist with PR and crisis management. But even as deep as Samsung's bench is when it comes to staff trained to deal with crises, no company can ever be fully prepared for a debacle of this scale. Samsung has taken a lot of heat for its handling of the Galaxy Note 7 ordeal thus far, and much of the criticism has merit. Rather than work properly with the appropriate agencies, Samsung initially tried to take matters into its own hands when it recalled first-run Note 7 phones followi…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6b821814a86fa25f533519d19556f0e7.jpgJust hours after rumors began to spread that Apple would hold a MacBook launch event at the end of October, an even more exciting report was published. According to The Wall Street Journal's sources, Apple is planning to ditch the standard QWERTY keyboard in favor of a customizable E Ink keyboard in 2018.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e0794a173badd991791243f0f2fb8fad.jpgSamsung is still in the early days of an ordeal that will take months, if not years to full work past. The company was forced to recall its flagship Galaxy Note 7 phablet after some devices caught fire while charging, and then some of the "safe" replacement phones it swapped out for the original models began to burst while they were being used. Samsung had no choice but to discontinue the phone and recall all handsets old or new, and now the company is in the midst of a public relations and public safety nightmare. But that's not all. Just one day after the first of what will certainly end up …

Netflix will release 1,000 hours of original programming in 2017

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2389a5ce188d464fb2a50a549a34328e.jpgIn 2013, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos told GQ that the company's goal is to "become HBO faster than HBO can become us." Three years later, it appears that Netflix is well on its way towards achieving that goal, if it hasn't already. To its credit, Netflix a few years ago had the foresight to shift the focus of its business towards original content. By the time 2016 comes to a close, Netflix will have rolled out upwards of 600 hours of original programming across every type of genre imaginable. Equally as important as the quantity of Netflix originals is the quality, and in that r…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6524b47278bcaae92643e8678b9443cb.pngAlthough the iPhone 7 wasn't as excited a departure as many smartphone junkies had hoped it might be, reviews proved it was still one of the best phones of the year when it launched in September. The same can't be said of Google's Pixel, which was raked over the coals by several prominent publications. But if you're more concerned about your smartphone's camera than you are about hardware design, you might want to give the Pixel a chance.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/565148d61ec31ee1fb71c22a747ced01.jpgWe've long known that Tesla knows how to manufacture incredibly fast cars with jaw-dropping acceleration, but the company really outdid itself when it introduced the P100D this past August. As if the Model S P90D weren't fast enough already, Tesla's new top of the line Model S can now blast from 0-60 MPH in just 2.5 seconds in Ludicrious Mode. What's more, the car can go from 0-100 in 6.5 seconds and can complete a quarter-mile in 10.7 seconds flat.

As everyone knows, getting a nice big flat-screen TV or home theater projector is just one piece of the puzzle. A top-notch sound system is also hugely important, but you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a system that sounds like a real theater. Start with the Denon AVR-S510BT 5.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver with Bluetooth, which is discounted on Amazon this week and packs sound quality that might just blow your mind. (…

How is Wikileaks publishing files even after Assange’s Internet was cut?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/244425b89c07ef50a595ae45deb19bd8.jpgCutting the Internet cord on Julian Assange has not silenced the WikiLeaks mastermind, who likely has multiple backup systems in place to ensure his reign of terror on the politically powerful continues long after he loses web access. Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for five years, but Wikileaks managed on Tuesday to unleash yet another massive dump of emails hacked from key Hillary Clinton aide John Podesta. Those disclosures came a day after his international hacktivist group said their leader's access to the cyber world was severed by the South Ameerican govern…

Patriots coach Bill Belichick explains why he’ll never use a Microsoft Surface tablet again

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c394b5b2eb3a3e04b6263d6ccd931dd3.pngIn 2013, Microsoft paid the NFL $400 million for a 5-year deal to equip NFL teams with Surface tablets. And leaving no room for Apple's iPad to sneak into the mix, Microsoft's Surface was publicly dubbed the "Official Tablet of the NFL." Three years after Microsoft and the NFL signed on the dotted line, the most revered coach in the NFL -- and perhaps in NFL history -- has had enough with Microsoft. Bill Belichick is usually pretty restrained when talking to the press, but when asked about his recent decision to kick the Microsoft Surface to the curb, he seemingly turned into a different perso…

How does the PlayStation VR launch lineup stack up against the PS4, Xbox One and Wii U?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f0244a3b1da605ca8924ac66cacb85bb.pngThe launch lineup of the PlayStation VR snuck up on me. I’m not sure how it happened — I’ve been covering the device since E3 2014, back when a VR shark encounter was the best of what Sony had to offer. Two years later, I’m now finding it difficult to remember the last time a console had such a compelling collection of software on day one. In order to illustrate this point, I thought we’d go back a few years and reexamine the launch lineups of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Wii U.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9d809476e11c46e10d5afd242b3da3a1.jpgAs of last Friday, Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 smartphone is officially banned from all United States airlines. Even if the phone is uncharged and turned off, you still can't bring it on the plane with you. If you refuse to comply with the ban and bring your phone on the plane anyway, you could end up paying dearly for it. So what are you supposed to do if you're heading back from vacation, own a Galaxy Note 7 and don't want to cause any trouble on your flight back?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/511bf21524030f71c1ef629f1384d311.jpgA report from Recode claims that Apple is going to hold an event to launch new Mac hardware on October 27th. Some kind of October launch has been rumored for months, but the exact timing has not yet been confirmed. Some people were speculating that since we haven't seen an event invite yet, Apple had scratched its plans to hold an event to launch new hardware this month. Recode's report goes against that, and if its reporting is correct, we should be expecting an invite to go to the press sometime this week.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0961ad07ef66fbc4a7e3c07b7682c381.jpgJust one year after adding a stylish new rose gold color to its iPhone lineup, Apple in September released the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in not one but two new colors. Space Gray is gone, at least for the time being, and two different black finishes have emerged in its place. The first is a matte black color that gives the iPhone a stealth look — especially when used with this special black wallpaper — but the second is the talk of the town right now. "Jet Black," as Apple calls it, is a unique new glossy black finish that has mirror-like qualities. It's probably the most desirable iPhone col…
