http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4d2fbc28ce3597c7ba8d183770b5997f.jpgVirtual reality has been a hot topic of late, with Sony preparing to launch its PlayStation VR headset later this week and Oculus announcing a price and release date for its Touch controllers. As such, plenty of content creators have latched on to the trend, including popular YouTube channel Corridor Digital.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4acd74161c3a0dfdaf3859e34f6e4be9.jpgAmazon, a company famous for killing brick-and-mortar stores with ruthless pricing and drones, wants to build a series of brick-and-mortar stores. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Amazon is planning a series of small brick-and-mortar convenience stores to augment its existing Amazon Fresh grocery delivery service. First, they came for your bookstores. Then, they came for your Radioshack. Now, they come for your corner stores.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/add25c51339e0be0da04f905408ae206.jpgChecking in at number 54 on Vanity Fair's 2016 New Establishment List, Apple executive Eddy Cue was recently asked what current-day items will likely be obsolete in five years time. Cue's answer was rather telling: "Keys, physical wallets, and cash." Apple doesn't often telegraph its future product plans, but this is as close to a confirmation as you'll ever see regarding Apple's plan to make the wallet obsolete. As it stands today, Apple Pay has already made it much more convenient to walk around without cash or credit cards. Looking to broaden its attack on the wallet, Apple now appears inte…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fddf27ec0090da80c7c63cba47308189.jpg The robot invasion has begun... and it's awesome. Until robots become sentient and decide to exact revenge on an unsuspecting human species, we're going to continue to love all of the awesome functionality robots afford. They assemble your gadgets, they vacuum your floor, they make fun little toys to play with, and now they act as your own personal camera man while you record video or make a video call. If you use video conferencing often or if you record videos all the time to share on YouTube and elsewhere, you really have to check out the Swivl Robotic Platform for Video. (more…) …

Verizon: blame networks, not cable companies, for stupid cable prices

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/be102772fd3e7503bddeed9f577bfd63.jpgThe stupidly high (and still rising!) price of cable television is driving a mass migration to internet streaming. But according to the cable companies -- yep, those same companies that have been fined for deceptive billing, and that are instituting internet caps across the country -- it's the networks that you should blame. At least, that's what Verizon says.

This one stat shows just how much content Netflix has lost in the past two years

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/163d9b04cd4104ffcf7fd459d3cb574b.jpgTwo years ago, a Redditor by the name of clayton_frisbie cross-referenced IMDb's list of the 250 top rated movies with the Netflix streaming catalog. He found that 49 of the top 250 movies were available on Netflix US — not an incredibly impressive percentage, but a solid selection of well-regarded films nonetheless. Since 2014, Netflix has lost a great deal of content. In fact, the content library has nearly been cut in half since 2012, and with it have gone many popular films.

Cutting-edge Windows 10 desktop with Core i3, 1TB HDD and 8GB of RAM drops to $355 on Amazon

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6cf80f235c1164250331d5bc9dc97809.jpg Laptops tend to get far more attention than desktop PCs these days. But if you want as much bang as possible for your buck and you don't need a computer that's portable, a desktop is obviously the way to go. You get way more power and much better specs for your money, and Amazon's current sale on the Lenovo Ideacentre 300 Desktop Computer is a perfect example. For $354.99, you get a 6th generation Intel Core i3-6100 processor clocked at 3.7 GHz, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1TB 7200RPM SATA hard disk drive and plenty more.

All of a sudden, your wife rushes into the living room in a panic, arm extended, holding a smartphone in her hand as it spews out black smoke. That's no way to spend your weekend, but it's exactly what happened to the Decasa family this past Sunday morning. And yes, in case you're wondering, it was a replacement Note 7.

After Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 replacement devices begun exploding, Samsung has decided to discontinue the product and require all consumers to return the device for a full refund.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c5e9b932dae6de2dc9a4223759f2e3a1.jpgGoogle's Chrome web browser is widely regarded as the best browser in the world... probably because it is. Chrome is feature-rich, fast and extremely versatile thanks to a terrific ecosystem of third-party extensions. Other browsers from Microsoft's Edge to Mozilla's Firefox have been gaining in certain areas recently, but no other software offers the all-around experience Chrome affords. Of course, nothing is perfect and that goes for Google's web browser, too. As anyone who uses Chrome knows, it can be a huge memory hog, especially for users who leave multiple tabs open all the time. There's…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6524b47278bcaae92643e8678b9443cb.pngThe iPhone 7 Plus seems to be the phone to beat this year when it comes to camera performance, but Google’s recently released Pixels are worthy adversaries. The Pixel and Pixel XL already got a higher score than the iPhone 7 in DxOMark tests, and Google insisted on stage last week that its latest smartphones can offer a great photo taking and video recording experience. It seems like the second part of that, at least, is true. One photographer tested the Pixel’s 4K recording powers and concluded the phone is superior to the iPhone 7 Plus.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9c658dc8716678fd95498a250c44ca9e.jpg Apple's brand new iPhone 7 Plus is almost four weeks old now, but it's still next to impossible to find in stores. The company just can't seem to build enough phablets to keep up with demand, and all the additional countries Apple has launched in recently aren't helping. If you're lucky enough to have picked up a new iPhone 7 Plus at this point, you'll definitely want to make sure that you pick up a decent case to protect it. And the last thing you want to do is buy a case that's going to hide that gorgeous design. Check out the MoKo Advanced Shock-Absorbent, Scratch-Resistant iPhone 7 Pl…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d3c24895b9506cb7b263e88376430dbe.jpgThe ongoing Galaxy Note 7 saga will undoubtedly go down in the history books as one of the most dramatic, embarrassing and mismanaged PR tech disasters of all-time. It was bad enough when Samsung's first batch of Note 7 devices were prone to catching fire and exploding, but the situation got much worse when Note 7 replacement units began exploding as well. On top of that, there is evidence to suggest that Samsung attempted to keep reports of Note 7 explosion incidents under wraps, effectively valuing their brand over the safety of its consumers. Earlier today, Samsung finally came to its sense…

Nothing like this has ever happened at this scale in the cell phone industry, and we can only hope that nothing like this ever happens again. Reports out of South Korea ahead of the Note 7's release suggested that the phone was being rushed in order to give it as much time as possible on store shelves ahead of Apple's iPhone 7 launch.
