http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/98ff7bf390f1ee5e18a89d7bda353c0b.jpgWe're still several months away from the unveiling of Samsung's Galaxy S8, but rumors are already cropping up on what seems like a weekly basis. Earlier this month, Samsung showed off a 5.5-inch 4K UHD display at a trade show in California, leading some to believe that it would be the display featured on the company's next flagship smartphone. Now Chinese tech blog NetEase is making a similar claim, providing even more credence to the rumor.

This crazy sport began in the late 1940s and racers used rigs much like the ones you might envision when you think of a motorcycle and a sidecar. In the modern era, the sidecar racing has completely transformed into one of the craziest sports we've come across recently, and it's just about as dangerous as it looks.

The FCC will be meeting next month to vote on new regulations for 5G, laying the groundwork for the next evolution in wireless communications. 5G is meant to be about more than just faster Netflix videos when you're on the train.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ea8fe587c265ceb1219f2582343004fc.jpgAn electric plane project is in the works at NASA, and the new aircraft is called the X-57. It’s an initiative the space agency hopes will demonstrate that electric-powered aviation can be environmentally friendly, quiet, and quick. Made out of a modified Italian-designed plane, the X-57 will have a skinny wing with a total of 14 battery-powered motors, and because it won’t run on gas, it won’t produce exhaust from burnt fossil fuels. NASA said that having multiple small engines means the X-57 will need less energy to cruise at a speed of 175 mph. And while traditional fuel-burning airplanes n…
