He went on to make even longer reviews for Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, both of which garnered hundreds of thousands of views. In 2012, he used his fifteen minutes of internet fame to kick off a live-action movie review show called with his friends and colleagues.

The first episode of the upcoming season will finally reveal who Negan killed, and we already know it’s not Glenn, who dies in the comics. There are plenty of theories explaining who may have died, and you probably won’t like any of them. But it’s definitely not Glenn, and this recent interview with The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman also seems to support the idea that Glenn will survive.

You let the dog out and see the kids off to school when the bus arrives. Then you leave the house and step into the back seat of a car that's already waiting for you in your driveway. You sit comfortably as the car heads to your local train station, checking emails and preparing for your workday along the way. When you arrive at the station, you don't need to worry about fighting with other commuters while looking for parking. Instead, the car pulls right up to the front of the building and you're on your way to the train. Tomorrow,…

Look how easy it would be for Samsung’s Galaxy S8 to copy the iPhone 7

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/85e3df5f8135e85278311cdc79ab97c4.jpgThere’s one iPhone 7 feature that Samsung will probably copy in the near future and now there’s a very easy way to do it, without Samsung having to do any heavy lifting. A previous rumor suggested Samsung is looking into developing a Lightning-like port of its own that would support audio so that it could also remove the 3.5mm headphone jack from its future devices. But the USB Implementers Forum published the Audio Device Class 3.0 specification that will help Samsung, and any other company, make the jump from 3.5mm to USB-C for audio.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6a264aa8465958df5e146ebd0e6a5e8b.jpgThe iPhone 7 may not set new sales records for Apple, but it certainly looks like it’s selling very well. According to an early report from Localytics, the iPhone 7's launch weekend sales may have been close to Apple’s record-breaking iPhone 6s launch, though Apple never released any sales figures for this year's models. The same marketing company analyzed data for the first two weeks following the iPhone 7’s launch, and its findings are very interesting. It would appear that the “boring” iPhone 7 is selling even better than the iPhone 6s during its first two weeks. (more…) Trending righ…
