To modular or not? Nexpaq says ‘no’ despite rumors
by Guest Jeff Causey- 0 replies
- 29 views
Yesterday news broke about Google’s decision to pull the plug on their modular phone initiative, Project Ara. This was a big disappointment to many who had been looking forward to the concept finally becoming a reality. Since then the rumor mill has been in full swing thanks to a tweet from Nexpaq regarding Dan Makoski, […] Come comment on this article: To modular or not?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/affdaaf5299869b25687dc898dd5a057.pngThe California-based smart kitchen startup Innit has been cooking up an expanded master plan for itself this year that’s brought it millions in new funding as well as major corporate partnerships, the newest being the big appliance maker Whirlpool. Innit wants to essentially be the software layer that sits on top of a growing assortment of connected appliances and devices. Manufacturers like Whirlpool are increasingly turning to smaller software-focused companies to help bring smart kitchens to life — indeed, it’s why Innit announced a partnership recently with Whirlpool to enable advanced aut…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/be886e79fec804fd0b1f976895a51803.jpg At some point in the not so distant future, we'll all look back and laugh at people who used to spend hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on a single painting. Instead, we'll all spend just a couple hundred dollars on a device that gives us instant access to millions of pieces of art. Find the perfect print for your room or find dozens of paintings and switch them to suit your mood — the world is your oyster. As it turns out, that not so distant future is already here today.

10 awesome trailers that were actually better than their movies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c920f67231a3db413719fb012deb891e.jpgThe best trailers leave us wanting more. A taste of the movie, but not enough to spoil the big action scenes or emotional moments. That's all it takes to make an effective trailer (and some solid editing—that's important too), but studios seem to get it wrong more often than right. But there's also the rare trailer that actually manages to so perfectly encapsulate what a movie is supposed to be, that the actual movie can't live up to it.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4f7516f02b51c7a58eb2c0b5b9cdd488.jpgWith just a few days to go before Apple's special media event kicks off in San Francisco next week, the mother of all iPhone 7 leaks has landed right in our laps. In a research note published by reputed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and obtained by MacRumors, Kuo gives us the low-down on everything we can expect to see from Apple's next-gen iPhone. Over the past few months, we've certainly seen no shortage of rumors regarding the iPhone 7, but Kuo's latest research report provides us with our clearest look yet at what Apple has planned. So without further ado, here's the most definitive rundown of iPho…

The Google hype machine fails again

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a5c6b015bd582ecab4e6bb375bef2b3b.jpgEarly Friday morning, reports broke the news that Alphabet is killing Project Ara, its attempt at a modular smartphone. I'm not crying for the loss of Ara -- phones with swappable screens are inherently dumb -- but there's only so many times Google and Alphabet can hype up the future, before unceremoniously kicking it to the curb. The way Alphabet develops products is really to blame. The company ignores the kind of secrecy that traditional tech companies (Apple in particular) have made part of the corporate culture, and instead chooses to develop publicly. It's a good move to make people exci…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/10d0c244e126dccdd771f0c065cb35d4.jpgEarlier this week, the European Commission concluded an enquiry into Apple's European tax situation, concluding that the company owes Ireland $13.5 billion in unpaid taxes. But the case is anything but closed, as both Apple and Ireland have decided to appeal the ruling. Why doesn't Ireland want Apple to give it about $3,000 per person? Because Ireland thinks that Apple paid all the taxes it owes.

It’s the centerpiece for IBM’s first fan-facing activation in at least a decade; but Watson, well known for beating human champions in chess and on Jeopardy, is not only serving up cognitive insights for fans, it’s helping the U.S. Tennis Association (USTA) run the major tournament in Flushing Meadows, N.Y.

I praised leaks suggesting that 32GB will be the entry-level storage option for new iPhones, starting with the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. But that doesn’t mean you should buy a 32GB iPhone.

Individuals with malicious intent will always target the most popular operating systems, and Android is one of them.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bd83be8c9a5ac1f15b79970b3578d95c.jpg Apple is going to announce its next-generation iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus next week and when it does, it will confirm that neither new smartphone includes a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. When that happens, you have two options: you can either whine about it and then buy a new pair of headphones or an adapter anyway, or you can just buy a new pair of headphones now and be ready. The good news is that you don't have to pay a fortune for high-quality Bluetooth headphones that will work with the iPhone 7.

The iPhone 7 will have 2GB of RAM like its predecessor, while the iPhone 7 Plus is going to be bumped up to 3GB of RAM.
