http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/685a291198f0f5e4d8453eebeae49003.jpgA rumored streaming service from Amazon could potentially give services like Spotify and Apple Music a run for their money. According to a report from Recode, Amazon has plans to roll out two brand new streaming services as early as September. While one service would effectively be similar to what's already available -- unlimited on-demand streaming for $10/month -- the other has the potential to be a real game changer. Citing sources purportedly familiar with Amazon's plans, the online retail giant is prepping a music service that would drastically undercut Spotify and Apple Music. If you tho…

Almost simultaneously, Google announced and Android 7.0 Nougat’s release for its Nexus devices. The catch is that, like almost all software updates, this is following a phased implementation.

Can you solve these brain teasers written by the NSA’s top mathematicians?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d6bd52944d4f17cc7688d29ba6a9660d.jpgWhen one thinks of institutions and places that house some of the brightest mathematical minds on the planet, one tends to think of companies like Google and academic institutions like MIT and Cal Tech. But flying somewhat underneath the radar is the National Security Agency (NSA), the famed intelligence agency that was unwittingly thrust into the spotlight following Edward Snowden's massive leak of classified NSA material. The NSA likely houses the largest group of world-class cryptographers and mathematicians than any other place in the world. Suffice it to say, if you're mathematically incl…

Tests repeatedly show that Apple’s iPhone 6s is the fastest smartphone when it comes to storage speed, beating all rivals including high-end handsets from Samsung. Of course, the competition is getting better and better when it comes to built-in and expandable storage speed, with Samsung having already confirmed it has big plans in the years ahead.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ee3690cc9f5ecc1d3274586e4d9dd635.pngAt the end of the day, every Pokemon Trainer has only one goal in mind: catching them all. That's the key tenet of any Pokemon adventure, but with Pokemon Go, it's more difficult than ever to actually accomplish that goal. Not only are some of the rarest Pokemon currently impossible to catch, but others can only be found in specific regions, so the only way to add them to your collection is to hatch them from an egg. For the most part, this simply requires a great deal of walking, but over the weekend, CNET published some worthwhile tips to help you hatch eggs more efficiently in Pokemon Go. …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/60fc0a74fa69bc6ab37cd0fcf9367ca9.jpgIt's been a rough week for the NSA, to say the least. Last week, a group of hackers collectively known as The Shadow Brokers allegedly stole and released a treasure trove of NSA hacking tools and exploits. What's more, the group promised to release even more weapons from the NSA's cyber arsenal for the right price. While the initial leak was met with skepticism, researchers and security experts who examined the leak subsequently confirmed that the leaked exploits were very much real. "It definitely looks like a toolkit used by the NSA," French computer researcher Matt Suiche said after taking …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/00fb372498cdc4c4a9e31d13a4e105f9.jpgPokemon Go developer Niantic has taken a strong position against cheaters. This past Friday the company came out once again to warn players that cheating could get them banned from the game permanently. That's right... despite all the game's problems such as crippling reliability issues and the lack of a decent Pokemon Go tracking feature, Niantic is focusing valuable time and resources on identifying and banning people who cheat. At a smartphone game. About finding and catching virtual animals. Ridiculous though it may seem, Niantic is indeed focusing a tremendous amount of effort on taking m…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2e6a71fa0ba356453685d6720c0f2d4d.jpgWhen Tim Cook assumed the CEO position at Apple five years ago, he was faced with an impossible task: follow in the footsteps of Steve Jobs. Indeed, given Jobs' remarkable track record within the tech industry, it's widely accepted as gospel that no one on earth could ever truly replace Jobs. Looking back, Jobs helped spearhead not one, but three technological revolutions, first with the Mac and later on with the iPod and the iPhone. With Tim Cook currently at the helm of Apple, it's still curiously popular, not to mention intellectually lazy, to reflexively point out that Tim Cook is no Steve…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/402315ace3c2218e54a621b9f5977008.jpgAndroid Nougat is available today! Well, sorta. Unlike rollouts of things like iOS or even Windows 10, Android updates happen over the course of months and years, not days. But starting today, a small number of lucky users can finally get their hands on the latest and greatest from Google. Nexus devices should be seeing the upgrade as an over-the-air download today. Devices like the Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, and Pixel C are all eligible for the upgrade. Google says that updates are delayed by carrier and region, so if you don't see the update today, keep trying, as it should appear…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7c2873b97475bfb80d3310e13777d0bd.jpgThere's a long list of reasons users can become frustrated with Apple's virtual personal assistant, Siri. No one would argue that progress has been slow with Siri — the feature was an absolute mess when Apple first released it as a beta alongside the iPhone 4S back in 2011. Since then, Siri's capabilities have expanded exponentially and reliability has improved dramatically as well. There are still plenty of wrinkles to be ironed out, however, and at least one of them will be apparently fixed late next month. How do we know? Because a certain celebrity let it slip that she spoke with Apple CEO…

As Samsung seeks new ways to boost earnings as the high-end smartphone market becomes a far less reliable source of growth, a new report sheds light on one of the new programs the company plans to implement.
