- 21 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e5b5f70c3130ec6b1d3cdf86a5355d92.jpgSo you have an air-gapped computer, or unconnected to the Internet, and you think your data is secured just because it’s not accessible online? In most cases that might be true, but that’s not 100% accurate. There are ways to steal information from computers that are not connected to the web, and smart hackers will not stop looking for such tricks. The newest such malware would let attackers steal information from supposedly secure computers with the help of the sound made by its fans and processor.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1621e9617a67b325a4ba9b2f88b7168c.jpgA hacker claims to be selling 655,000 alleged patient healthcare records on the dark web, containing information such as social security numbers, addresses, and insurance details. The news was first reported by Deep Dot Web Saturday. A hacker who goes by the name ‘thedarkoverlord’ gave Deep Dot Web images of purported records. Identifiable information from the records was redacted “so the target company can remain anonymous for now,” the hacker told Deep Dot Web.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d3a8e3c9503c1f6263ce1bd7f8250981.jpgWhen it comes to pure speed and raw acceleration, you'd be hard pressed to find a car that offers you more bang for the buck than a Tesla Model S. Specifically, the Tesla Model S P90D -- with Ludicrous Mode enabled -- is a 762 horsepower speed demon that can skyrocket from 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds. Not surprisingly, we've seen no shortage of videos which pit a tricked out Model S against all sorts of supercars, from a Lamborghini Aventador to a McLaren 650S Spider. We've even seen a Tesla Model S go head to head with a Boeing 737 for reasons that still defy explanation. But what happens when a…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/70c12289a2ce57654095a22cb0ce2f3b.jpgWe’ve been educated to expect after the credits scenes in all sorts of movies, but especially superhero films. If you’re a Marvel universe fan, then you know better than to leave the theater once the credits start rolling. Some of the good stuff – teasers at what’s to come in upcoming pictures – will happen during and/or after the credits in Marvel movies. Very rarely, trailers will get a similar treatment. And by very rarely we mean almost never. It probably only happens if Deadpool is involved. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4f0aec002f09522c22e014f50c5da7ea._.gif V…

With a brand-new set of imagery captured by the Landsat-8 satellite, Google has made the day of satellite imagery nerds and stalkers worldwide. The new imagery was debuted in a blog post, which explains how Landsat-8 and better image processing have combined to give some spookily pretty satellite images.

It has continued to build an impressive lead over iOS and the countless stragglers who can't even top 1% of the market share, but that hasn't stopped some of the industry's leading Android phone makers from planning for a future that is significantly less dependent on Google's mobile OS.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9462e9b5d525ffb68dd6b64603cc90a8.jpgWhen Paramount Pictures shared the first trailer for Star Trek Beyond, fans were understandably wary. The tone of the action was all over the place, it was impossible to decipher what the movie was actually about and Sabotage by the Beastie Boys simply didn't fit the feel of the trailer at all. Two trailers later, the marketing team might have finally hit its stride. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a6fd648f140128aae680afaa0e07a016._.gif Via BRG - Boy Genius Report

Head-up displays, also known as HUDs, are so great because they shows you all the info you need while driving and you never need to take your eyes off the road to see it. Luxury cars offer this feature for boatloads of cash, but we recently told you about a deal that transforms any iPhone or Android phone into an awesome HUD for just $33. Well guess what: So many people loved the deal that Amazon completely ran out of stock. We have good news though — these HUDs are officially back in stock. Order an Mpow Un…

Here’s why the iPhone 7 ‘Deep Blue’ color option isn’t happening

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/eb8f3bde9f51829a8fa73c262c4940b2.jpgApple's upcoming iPhone 7 will be available in a much darker version of space gray, according to a recent report from AppleInsider. Citing a source from Macotakara, the publication relays that the space grey model Apple has in the works for the iPhone 7 is so dark as to almost be black. If the report is to be believed, the move would represent an about-face for Apple, as the company has increasingly leaned towards lighter colors with recent iPhone models. In fact, the last time Apple offered an iPhone model in a color that was arguably close to black was all the way back with the iPhone 5. As …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bd9f3efdbd3ab6542b17974f71b228e5.pngTwitter is acutely aware that it's no longer the hip social network of choice for tweens. (Was it ever the hip network of choice for anyone?) In a bid to become cool again, and also boost its stock price, the network has been rolling out changes over the past couple months. The latest comes straight from Snapchat's playbook. Starting sometime in the next few weeks, Twitter's app will have #Stickers that you can plaster over your photos.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d9e14e444ddd035cca936a5303258d81.jpgBritish comedian John Oliver has made a career for himself explaining things to camera. This week, the topic that's getting a trademark Last Week Tonight rundown is doping, good timing seeing as the Olympics and the Tour de France are happening in the next two months. Unsurprisingly, there's much more going on in the world of doping than individual athletes choosing to take performance-enhancing drugs. As the recent case with Russian athletes has unequivocally shown, it takes dedication and resources to beat the thorough (almost creepily thorough) doping tests. (more…)http://androidforum.u…
