http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/172ffbfb132d289857c746f20efcf2dc.jpgAmazon kicked the home virtual assistant trend into overdrive a year ago when it launched the first Echo. Since then, Alexa—the voice service powering the device—has become increasingly intelligent as the company gives it new skills. It's latest skill is possibly its latest surprising, as Amazon has now given Alexa the ability to order over a million new products from Amazon, even if the customer has never ordered that product before.

Especially now, since you can get a high-quality portable projector that can connect to your Android device wirelessly for less than ever before. Case in point: the LG Electronics PH550 Minibeam Projector with Bluetooth Sound, Screen Share and Built-in Battery just dropped to under $500 in a special limited-time sale on Amazon.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6d785499065f05fa3038859264e69d26.jpegTesla and Google aren't the only companies working towards a future filled with self-driving cars. BMW earlier today boldly announced its plan to begin mass producing a self-driving car by 2021. As part of its 5-year plan to make autonomous driving a reality, BMW will rely upon camera and sensor technology sourced from Mobileye, the same Israeli company that Tesla currently partners up with for its own self-driving car technology. Also in the mix is Intel who will contribute technology of its own at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCa…

Apple blasts Spotify for wanting special App Store treatment

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/3a8f0796a54cf4429a84864cfdc7c2b1.jpgThere's certainly no love lost between Apple and Spotify as the rivalry between the two companies came to a head earlier this week. Spotify's general counsel, if you recall, recently lambasted Apple for refusing to approve Spotify's latest app update because the app does not make use of Apple's proprietary billing system. In a scathing letter sent to Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell on June 26, Spotify said that Apple's actions might run afoul of antitrust law and that Apple is using the "App Store approval process as a weapon to harm competitors.” (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/Meta…

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active review

Samsung released the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge a few months ago, and the pair has easily become the best devices of the year. In fact, it was reported that, by the end of June, Samsung would sell 25 million combined units worldwide.

This fall, Google will offer two Nexus phones yet again; however, they’ll be produced by the same company in a surprising detour from the usual strategy in which different companies each make a single device for the line.

First-person-shooter (FPS) games are one of the most popular genres out there. After all, games like Call of Duty and Battlefield sell millions of copies every year.

When Google revealed the name for the next version of its mobile operating system, there was still something we didn’t know about: the version number.

AT&T announced a customer appreciation program last month, and the first promotion is finally going live. It’s pretty clear that AT&T Thanks is very similar to T-Mobile Tuesdays, which is certainly a win for customers of either carrier.

Man who died in fatal crash with Model S on Autopilot was allegedly watching a movie

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/77e8e58d1a305ea9245e7db719b6e6dc.pngTelsa's much-lauded Autopilot feature on the Model S and Model X managed to log a combined 130 million miles without a single crash involving a fatality. That phenomenal streak came to an end last month, however, when Tesla acknowledged that the Autopilot feature was engaged on a Model S when it struck a tractor-trailer while traveling at high speeds. The driver of the Model S was killed in the horrific crash, and Telsa is now cooperating with an investigation being conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). As impressive as Tesla's Autopilot feature is, drivers a…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/402315ace3c2218e54a621b9f5977008.jpgThe month of June ended with a massive revelation from Google — Android N’s final name was unveiled. And I can’t blame if you if you’re disappointed with "Nougat," which is probably one of the first things that come to mind when having to choose a dessert name for Android N. There’s nothing wrong with Android Nougat as a name for this year’s major Android update, and we shouldn’t really care what Android N ended up being called. But Google set us up for what appeared to be something far more interesting. For the first time in Android history, Google allowed fans to vote on the Android N and ev…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/112a88a2e0e40e96eb3842c6a79b929a.jpgThink back to the best steak you've ever eaten. The texture was tender and buttery, juices seeped out with each slice, the marbling was ideal, and the flavor was life-changing. Now imagine that each and every steak you eat is just as incredible as that one perfect steak. It might sound far-fetched, but researchers in Texas have begun to use cloning to improve beef yield and quality from cattle ranches, and it could lead to a sea change for the beef industry.
