Phobos has a huge crater, more than five miles across, and a new computer model out of the LLNL in California simulates the dramatic impact that could have caused that distinctive crater. The research is part of a planetary defence program at LLNL— in other words, studying how to protect Earth from a devastating impact.

New study says Verizon and AT&T make over $600 million in overage fees annually
by Guest Jeff Causey- 0 replies

One of T-Mobile’s early Uncarrier moves, and a point that John Legere continues to raise with regard to his competition, was to do away with overage charges for customers. Instead of charging customers extra when they exceed their purchased data limit, T-Mobile users see their speeds throttled to a slower rate.

Over the past few years, data plans have undoubtedly become more user-friendly with respect to the amount of data offered. However, because we use our smartphones for more data-intensive activities than ever before -- such as streaming Netflix for hours on end -- many users are still finding themselves penalized for going over.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/033b07a6db702bde06c81ddaf332f9e5.jpg Some day in the hopefully-not-too-distant future, all of the gadgets and gear we use will charge wirelessly from across the room using cool new technology like the wireless charging tech Apple is working on right now. Sadly, in the meantime we all have to keep buying batteries for all of the little electronic devices in our lives.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7afe0b730f51c9f15df3c2378d707f4e.jpgWith Samsung still unable to identify the root cause behind Galaxy Note 7 units catching fire and exploding, the South Korean tech giant had no choice but to discontinue the product entirely earlier this week. What this means is that Samsung has permanently ceased all Note 7 production, will not be issuing replacement devices, and will not even attempt to repair affected devices. Driving the point home, Samsung earlier today confirmed that it will dispose of every single returned device.

But this time, rather than swapping out affected devices, refurbishing them, and trying to salvage the phone, it look like Samsung is going to completely kill off the device. The company confirmed to Motherboard that every single device it receives back -- which will hopefully be all of them -- will be "disposed of," rather than repaired or refurbished.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/58599b6a75e138896c586e49aeb3527e.jpgOne hesitates to call the iPhone 7 a surprise success but in many ways that's exactly what it is. While there was never any doubt that Apple's next-gen smartphone would move millions of units, the narrative that the iPhone 7 was going to be an exceedingly boring device was so pervasive that many were quick to dismiss it as nothing more than a stop-gap measure before Apple introduced the radically redesigned iPhone 8. In reality, the iPhone 7 has proven to be far more successful than most anticipated. Bolstered by an improved display, blazing fast hardware, and more, customers flocked to the iP…

Well now, just two years later, a phone with a 4.6-inch display is so much smaller than the standard screen size that it's considered to be a "compact" smartphone. Well, if you're looking for a "compact" new phone you're in luck, because Amazon is offering a nice $50 discount on one of Sony's hottest new handsets.
