Video: Tesla’s Model S rarely rolls over, but it’s catastrophic when it does
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 22 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4d1ab6a694ff6e5399cf3b45aca53dc7.jpgBeing one of the hottest electric carmakers in town also comes with unwanted side-effects. Every Tesla-related incident, whether it’s an accident caused by human error or linked to the car’s AI features, receives plenty of scrutiny. Take, for example, a car rolling over. If it’s your average vehicle, it’s a scary incident but not terribly interesting. But if it’s a Tesla that rolls, then it’s major news -- and for good reason, because Teslas rarely roll.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/70ef28e0f64be905e6538e5ffd28cd7f.jpgThere's a big problem with building a business on the back of other companies' businesses: You have to play by their rules. There are countless examples of companies losing their cool when a free ride comes to an end. Twitter is an example that instantly comes to mind. Developers spent so long building apps and services utilizing free access to Twitter's APIs and its users' data. They made money — a whole lot of money — with these services and paid nothing to Twitter as they did. Then, when Twitter made some changes to its model that impacted many developers' products, they flipped. Fast forwa…

It’s official: Android N is Android Nougat

It isn’t exactly breaking news, but something that many of us have wondered since Google I/O has been which dessert Android N would be named after.

Video catches great white shark sleep-swimming

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9ba81b04aa632983bd23a3fc903184ee.jpgEver woke up in your home bed not knowing exactly where you are? The temporary confusion fades away as you assimilate the familiarity of your surroundings. It’s probably the same place you wake up every morning, and it’s all coming back to you. A great white shark, on the other hand, has an entirely different type of sleep experience, and it’ll likely wake up not knowing where it is. It turns out that the shark sleeps while swimming in a robot like auto-pilot mode. It’s sleep-swimming if you will, but that’s not a medical condition. The whole thing was captured on video for the first time. …

Could this flying box be GoPro’s long-awaited drone?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ac68a69dcc90914723a18edfef45e492.pngThat GoPro has a drone in the works is not a secret. The company has confirmed its plans to release a consumer drone, and even unveiled some footage from it. But we still have no idea what it looks like or when it will be released. PatentYogi has unveiled a patent application that might shine some light on the drone's design. They found a patent published last week, filed by a GoPro employee who works on drones. If this is GoPro's drone (and that's a big if), it's like nothing else on the market today. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0c85235993f6ae4286569cd8073655a0._.gi…

Sitting at 27% on Rotten Tomatoes, Zach Snyder's franchise-building film took a beating from critics when it released back in March, but based on early reviews, the Ultimate Edition of the film (which as now available as a digital download) is leaps and bounds better than the original cut.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/59e1900839b702b252df7347a654dff0.jpgSecurity researchers from FireEye recently uncovered a new piece of Android malware that can mimic the look and feel of app interfaces from the likes of Uber, WhatsApp and Google Play. The malware reportedly struck first in Denmark and is now making its way through a handful of other European countries, including Italy, Germany and Austria. According to researchers, the malware is spread via a basic yet cleverly deceptive SMS phishing scheme. When a user receives and subsequently clicks on an ostensibly legit link, the malware is downloaded and begins to monitor which apps are active and which…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7bf99038cfe3521f4668180a27b485c1.jpgOK Facebook, you really need to make up your mind about what you say in public. And it would probably be a lot easier if you didn’t sneak certain features past your customers. The social network recently admitted to using smartphone location data to recommend friends to people, after someone discovered a recommendation that had no other reasonable explanation than the harvest and use of location data. But now, Facebook says that’s not what it’s doing at all. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/35560bf8c0ba2ef2ad24752788bdcaa1._.gif Via BRG - Boy Genius Report

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4c508a5122319c65e823b82a6793da13.jpgIf you're in the market for a new TV and you want a top-of-the-line experience, you need to buy a model that supports 4K Ultra HD resolution. Sure you can save some money by sticking with 1080p, and there's nothing wrong with that if price is your number 1 priority. If picture quality and viewing experience are your priorities though, you need 4K. Period. Guess what: buying a 4K TV doesn't necessarily mean spending an arm and a leg. Below, you'll find three different Ultra HD TV models that are all under $1,000 each from now through the end of the day on June 30. (more…)http://androidforum.…
