Some of the greatest SNL sketches aren’t only memorable because of the great jokes and actors playing all sorts of weird characters, however. Instead, they're memorable because sometimes they's so hilarious that the cast members can't even finish their lines without bursting out laughing. A couple of new videos just uploaded to YouTube feature a compilation of moments where cast members broke character. It's not a blooper reel since it all happens …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/db82620a1c2e7bd648d561e4a0ea9e4f.jpg You can spend hundreds of dollars on a Wi-Fi router and it might offer blazing fast speeds, but no matter how good it is it'll never be as fast or as reliable as a wired internet connection. Some day Wi-Fi technology will get there, but it's not going to happen anytime soon. The problem is Wi-Fi is easy and convenient, and not everyone wants to install ethernet ports in their homes. Well guess what: you don't have to install ethernet in order to enjoy lightning-fast wired home internet.

In an instant, your smartphone with blazing fast LTE all of a sudden feels like it's a flip phone on Edge circa 2006. In an effort to combat this, many places have started implementing complimentary Wi-Fi so that attendees can text and browse the web with ease. That's great and all, but sometimes even an abundance of wireless routers can't help prevent congestion and painfully slow browsing speeds. (more…) Trending right now: …

But it's true that modern electronics have a shelf life, and a bunch of year-old iPhones spontaneously dying right before the launch of the iPhone 7 is particularly bad timing. IFixit, a company that specializes in the world of repairing electronic devices, has highlighted a problem with the TouchID sensors of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus devices.

Nougat has indeed finally been released to the public, but it's only available on a handful of Google's Nexus-branded devices. If you own anything else — and odds are very good that you do — you're in for a bit of a wait before an Android 7.0 update is made available for your smartphone. Owners of the latest and greatest flagships can likely expect an update to roll out sometime in the next few months, maybe even before the New Year rolls around if you're lucky. The good news, Android fans, is that Android 7.0 Nougat is worth the wait. It mi…
