Sprint posts big quarterly loss, beats revenue estimates
by Guest Brad Ward- 0 replies
- 20 views
Sprint has posted some interesting quarterly results, beating revenue expectations. On the other hand, the carrier’s quarterly losses has widened substantially. The better-than-expected revenue seems to come from some hefty discounts and promotions Sprint has been offering in order to reel customers in. With that in mind, the carrier has added 173,000 postpaid customers this […] Come comment on this article: Sprint posts big quarterly loss, beats revenue estimates Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e06cfd03aace2945d5912548d3880e3f._.gif News via TalkAndroid

by Guest Peter Holden- 0 replies

Nintendo has been riding the swell of success since the release of Pokémon Go, with its market value almost doubling, having reached a $42 billion valuation just two weeks after the game launched on July 6. But, while Nintendo’s name is the brand most readily associated with Pokémon Go, it didn’t develop the game itself. Instead, the game […] Come comment on this article: Nintendo’s share price slips as it reveals ‘Pokémon Go’ was actually developed by Niantic Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8a7b2252f337dccfe9b62bf1574297a6._.gif News via TalkAndroid

How to upgrade to Windows 10, while also getting heroically drunk
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 50 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2367eba8efdb0f51d58f57ed75e76770.gifYou know you should upgrade to Windows 10 this weekend. The latest version of Windows, which is faster, more secure and more useful than its predecessor, is only a free upgrade until next weekend. After that, you'll have to pay $120 for a piece of software, which is unconscionable. However, all the facts in the world don't disguise the truth that updating an operating system is always awful. Windows 10 promises you "all your stuff will be just where you left it!" which is basically a lie. Luckily there's a solution: alcohol. So sit back, crack a cold one (or 12), and get ready for a software u…

This waterproof action camera is just as good as a GoPro, but it’s only $48

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/af7164c6d8468129d7b435ada59ea608.jpg The GoPro HERO4 is a fantastic action camera... if you're willing to cough up $360. Not everyone has that kind of cash to toss around, but action cameras are awesome and they let you capture killer footage that you could never get with a smartphone. Well guess what: there are plenty of other options out there. Take the Cymas Full HD 1080P 2.0 Inch Sports Action Camera, for example. This waterproof action cam includes a 170-degree lens and it's compatible with just about any accessory you can imagine. In fact, it ships with 16 different accessories right in the box — and it's only $48! (mo…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/29f831fb5232c4de5f17a45b7f45b468.jpgA few months ago, Apple was embroiled in a high-publicized legal battle with the FBI over mobile security. If you recall, the controversy began after Apple refused to create a custom version of iOS that would have enabled authorities to bypass the lockscreen on the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists. In defending Apple's position, Tim Cook boldly said that the FBI wanted Apple to create the "software equivalent of cancer." Ultimately, the legal dispute fizzled out after the FBI managed to purchase software from a third-party that enabled it to bypass the lockscreen without App…

In case you haven't heard, developer Niantic Labs is partnering up with some big-name sponsors to convert certain locations into Poke Stops and gyms inside the game, starting with McDonald's.

The real reason Netflix’s subscriber growth is falling

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/746acc71c40503841050f2ad348e9355.jpgNetflix's earnings results earlier this week didn't give investors much to cheer about. While the streaming giant's overall number of subscribers increased over the quarter, the company experienced their slowest rate of subscriber growth in history. As for the reason why, Netflix casually dismissed the data point and instead blamed the tech press for focusing too much on its plans for a $1 increase. But the idea that Netflix subscribers -- including those who were previously grandfathered in under old pricing schemes -- would brazenly cancel their subscription over a meager $1 price increase j…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/be9ab6d4432007b5fe12658bc05b3753.jpgA regular Tesla with all the bells and whistles produces 532 horsepower. This is enough to literally scare people shitless, or thoroughly embarrass the crotchiest of crotch-rockets. So why would you hack yourself together a 1,000hp custom electric vehicle? Because speed is a drug, and 1,000 all-electric horsepower is a great middle finger to the internal combustion engine. Jason Hughes is well known within the EV community as a Tesla hacker. He retrofitted an Autopilot system to and older Tesla Model S, but his new project is way more ambitious. He's planning on fitting a Tesla drivetrain and …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/cab124c7b0e9b15ba9ca26764b34d21c.jpgAnyone who used to get their movie fix via torrenting sites are probably still mourning the unexpected departure of Kickass Torrents (KAT). The site became the world’s biggest piracy resource after The Pirate Bay went offline for more than a month following a police raid in December 2014. However, the US government led an operation that ultimately took down Kickass Torrents this week. The site went down almost immediately after its alleged owner was arrested in Poland a few days ago. Since then, Kickass Torrents resumed activity online, but you should be very wary of the unofficial sites that …

Nvidia struck first with the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080. AMD followed with the $199 RX 480. Nvidia hit back days later with its own sub-$300 GTX 1060.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4a9ba45dc4701885acdbf07d026cdad0.jpgThe owner of a Tesla Model X that was involved in a highly publicized accident in Montana a few weeks ago recently published a scathing post about both Tesla and Elon Musk on the Tesla Motors Club message board. If you recall, a man known as Mr. Pang was driving his Model X down a Montana road in the dark of night a few weeks ago when his vehicle unexpectedly veered into a guard rail, ultimately causing the car to get into a serious crash. Though the driver thankfully emerged unscathed, the accident once again called the efficacy and utility of Tesla’s Autopilot feature into question. (mor…
