http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fa25df89a7566eda43072a90eae1d9ff.jpgIt’s no secret that exam schedules can be annoying, but would you write your country’s president to voice your concerns? How about hacking their official website? Enter this summer's boldest Sri Lankan teenager. The BBC reported that a 17-year-old student has been arrested for allegedly hacking President Maithripala Sirisena's website to express frustration over the country's exam schedule. The announcement that the A-level (or advanced) exams were scheduled for April angered the teen, who pointed out that the exams coincided with celebrations for Sinhala and Tamil New Year.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/221344872dd61875eb19145aa835bf7a.pngAlthough many Pokemon Go players are content with leveling up and catching rare Pokemon, there are others who prefer to dig into the competitive aspect of the game. Unfortunately, like many of the game's other features, it requires a ton of trial and error to determine which of your Pokemon are best equipped to battle at, win and effectively defend a gym once you take it over. At least, it was trial and error, until GamePress published an incredibly comprehensive list of all the best gym defenders and their toughest match-ups.

You’re running out of time to save money on a new TomTom navigator with lifetime maps
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 27 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b3a3f1b108d3cd4c2c98ba1785cfecb6.jpg Google Maps was a game-changer. It brought free and unlimited turn-by-turn navigation to the masses, and it continues to be one of the most widely used and beloved mobile apps in the world. It's great for finding locations around you, but the true beauty of Google Maps as far as navigation is concerned is that it forced dedicated navigator makers to really step up their game and slash prices. They used to charge an arm and a leg for navigators and then even more fees on top of that for map updates, but that's no longer the case. Case in point: Check out the TomTom VIA 1505M World Traveler…

So long, Chromebook Pixel (2015). On Tuesday, Google retired its laptop after finally realizing there was no place for the Chromebook Pixel to exist. The latest device, which was announced in March 2015, didn’t separate itself all that much from the original. Although the design and specifications were pretty amazing for a Chromebook, Google struggled […] Come comment on this article: It’s over for the Chromebook Pixel (2015) Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/de9e6ee4fcd544532a47ca60a4f9731b._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/462cd18ccd118e2939ba50a8dcc56e81.jpgYou have to give Google credit. While the company’s primary revenue generator remains search-based advertising, Google has never been shy about exploring new ideas and business ventures. And while some of Google’s bold new initiatives have worked out swimmingly (Android), the vast majority have been, to put it bluntly, embarrassing failures. To be fair, this isn’t a knock against Google, but rather the inevitable result of the old adage that if you dream big, you run the risk of failing big. Say what you will about Google, there’s simply no denying that the company loves to dream big. In turn,…

A European carrier probably just answered one of the only iPhone 7 questions left

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/df861ab089bed5c10c6bc21bbe097afb.jpgThe web is full of believable iPhone 7 rumors, and earlier leaks have revealed almost everything about the phone. But there are a few questions that still linger, as leaks move back and forth on the answers. One in particular concerns the new iPhones' names. What will Apple call its “S” version of the iPhone 6s? iPhone 6SE is one name thrown around, but that’s terribly annoying. Others say that iPhone 7 is the chosen name for the upcoming new models. But one European carrier seems to already know the answer, and it’s not afraid to “mistakenly” list it on its website. (more…) Trending rig…

‘Titanfall 2’ could resuscitate a franchise that deserves another chance

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a6fd5ca0f8fdda4be6d88e51243f0a11.jpgI hold to this day that Titanfall is the most dynamic, kinetic, entertaining and engaging first-person shooter of this generation. Unfortunately, we've become so accustomed to the carrot-on-a-stick multiplayer that Call of Duty and Battlefield have mastered that the lack of concrete rewards tainted Titanfall. It didn't matter that the game was fun — we wanted a single-player campaign, we wanted an addictive progression system and we didn't get either. So within months, the player base had shrunk to a tiny fraction of its original size. (more…) Trending right now: The worst thing abou…

With Apple set to introduce the iPhone 7 in just eight days, there’s really no point in plunking down your hard-earned money for an iPhone 6S or other iPhone model when a much better and faster model is just right around the corner.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/565148d61ec31ee1fb71c22a747ced01.jpgTesla's dealership model relies heavily on a CarMax-style no-haggling policy: you pay list price, and in return you get 0-60 in two and a half seconds. But according to some reports, Tesla is very quietly offering discounts to get older inventory out the door. If you've been waiting to pull the trigger on a Model S P90D, a $30,000 discount could be the difference maker. Electrek reports that since Tesla unveiled the Model S P100D, taking the crown as the "Quickest Production Car in the World" in the process, there are some P90Ds left in inventory surplus to requirements.

If you’re looking for biting commentary about the stream of garbage superhero movies we’ve seen as of late, that’s not exactly what Oliver has in mind. While he touches on that every so briefly, the crux of Oliver’s web-exclusive video is essentially him pitching a brand new superhero, one that he originally came up with as a kid. …

Since then, Pokemon Go cheats only got more sophisticated, and Niantic upgraded its security by announcing permanent bans. In case your Pokemon Go account was banned for cheating, you may be in luck, as Niantic is slowly unbanning some of the punished accounts. However, there are various types of violations, so not all bans will be revoked. (more…) Trending right now: We have some bad new…
