- 42 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/5148e52a054faf89ef50d13ed3a5540e.jpg You love your car and you have no intention of upgrading anytime soon. Cars these days can last for 100,000, 150,000, even 200,000 miles or more and you'll save a ton of money by sticking with your current car once you're done paying it off. If your wheels are a few years old though, there's a good chance you're missing out on some great convenience options like Bluetooth for hands-free calling and listening to music from your phone. Well guess what: You can add Bluetooth to any car on the planet that has an aux-in port thanks to the $12 Mpow Bluetooth Wireless Adapter for Home/Car Audio.…

Waze is finally going to stop the suicidal left turns

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c1b5a51a155ee6d680e2c8107f1e3937.jpgIf you're a regular Waze user, you're undoubtedly familiar with the times the app has tried to kill you with an impossible left turn. All too often, the directions will ask you to turn left at an intersection where there's no light or way to stop traffic, often encouraging people to make turns that go against all logic and self-preservation. Waze terms these "difficult intersections," which is a Silicon Valley euphamism if ever I've heard one. But at long last, Google will be making some changes to make life easier on the roads.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a15a3d1395f61806d6dad7134ee08023.jpgWindows 10 has been the center of countless controversies over the past year. But while many users have been (often justifiable) complaining about some of the software's privacy settings and intolerable update notifications, Microsoft has been quietly working behind the scenes to improve Windows 10. On Thursday, the company released a preview build for Windows 10 which included a new tool that makes it even easier to perform a clean installation.

This $15 box is like no surge protector you’ve ever seen before
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 35 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f4e6fdbb265ed53e5718c358a909e3a1.jpg That little white box pictured at the top of this post looks simple and unassuming enough, but it's actually cooler than you think. It's an EZOPower UL Certified Wall Mount Power Surge Protector, and it's like no other power strip you've seen before. The box packs three standard grounded plugs in addition to two USB ports, and it also features-built-in surge protection. But in a fun little twist, the unit packs two fold-out smartphone holders so you don't have to toss your phone on the floor anymore when you juice it up with that short little charging cable.

You’ll find below no less than 13 new trailers, including a few movies that you won’t want to miss when they hit cinemas this year.

Meet Plume, the tiny pod that wants to fix Wi-Fi
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/12e25e18b02b7104c4da8d38bbbdaa70.jpgWe often look for tips and tricks for fixing your homeWi-Fi, and these fixes often include a “one more thing” kind of advice: upgrade your internet hardware. Rather than using a cheap ISP router to handle the wireless coverage of your home, better invest in something more premium but capable of better performance. There's been a recent spate of expensive but simple devices, including the Eero and the Luma. But that doesn’t mean that premium has to always be expensive when it comes to better Wi-Fi. That’s where Plume comes in. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/73aa2bff35fe1…

With the election cycle in full swing, it's honestly not that hard to believe that Fallon could use an occasional assist. After all, there are only so many Donald Trump jokes you can make before you run out of breath.

Meet the 9-year-old iPhone app developer who’s better at coding than most adults
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 28 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/14b425b8778beef08f470151516ce11f.jpgTim Cook said Apple gave 350 scholarships to young developers to this year’s WWDC event, highlighting one winner in particular. 9-year-old Anvitha Vijay from Australia got the chance of a lifetime thanks to a scholarship, not to mention getting a shout-out from Tim Cook on stage. Sure, this is a great marketing stunt from Apple, which basically told the world that it’s so easy to code that the youngest iOS developers are just 9 years old. But that doesn’t take away anything from Vijay’s accomplishments — she's a developer who can code better than most adults. (more…)http://androidforum.us/…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7d8839076a20e2b46e15678a508d3c4b.jpg OK, maybe not any cocktail... but there's no question that the Loliware Edible Cups will get people talking at your next party. We strongly recommend serving martinis in edible cups at your next upscale event, but fruity cocktails and other mixed drinks are perfectly at home in these cool little "biodegr(edible)" cups. You can even serve frozen desserts in these awesome cups and the vessel becomes part of the treat.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2b0ee97e663066ade1295fc3d7166f04.jpgWas a lone hacker behind the recent attack on the Democratic National Committee’s computers? An individual describing themselves as ‘Guccifer 2.0’ claimed responsibility for the hack in a blog post Wednesday, touting documents purportedly accessed in the attack. But experts have been looking for clues about the mysterious self-described hacker, and suspicions still linger that the Russian government played a role in the DNC hack. Citing security researcher Pwn All The Things, Ars Technica reports that metadata from one of the leaked documents indicates editing by someone using a computer confi…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d828ad94eae97ebd9fd4a9ba087a545f.jpgApple might ditch the 16GB storage tier in the upcoming iPhone 7, but there are plenty of current iPhone users that have to deal with just 16GB of onboard memory. There are plenty of solutions for optimizing storage on devices with limited memory, including moving data to the cloud, buying external storage solutions like this great iPhone flash drive, and managing installed apps better. But Apple is apparently ready to help out with storage optimization in iOS 10 thanks to what appears to be a hidden feature of the newly announced operating system.

32 glorious years of Pixar movies in one fantastic supercut

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a680a589220eff230cd133f75a060a21.jpgFor a period of time, there was Pixar and there was everyone else. Everything Pixar touched turned to gold and the studio's films were consistently a cut above the rest. We're not talking "a little better" here, we're talking night and day. From Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. to Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, Pixar was a force to be reckoned with. Now, that's not to say the quality of films that have come out of Pixar in more recent years has fallen. Quite the contrary, in fact. Other studios have definitely caught up though, and the entire animated film business has been made better as a res…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7c176cf1fff969266e9f7458c3c19622.pngEvery year, emoji oversight organization Unicode decides upon new emoji to join the collection. There was a rifle emoji on the proposed list for 2016, but thanks to Apple's considerable influence, it was nipped in the bud. A Buzzfeed report details the story behind the doomed semi-automatic rifle emoji. According to its article, the rifle emoji was already in the encoding process -- and even included in the Android N developer preview, as seen above -- when Apple pushed to remove it.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4afd2007a944107d8126342ca0958040.jpg Sony is synonymous with high-quality sound, and the Sony HTCT790 Sound Bar with 4K and HDR Support is among the latest in a long, long line of audio products that reinforce that notion. This sound bar and wireless subwoofer combo provide huge sound in a compact, elegant package, and they support 4K Ultra HD resolution as well as Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio. The $499 list price is actually pretty reasonable for this sleek 300W system with great sound and Bluetooth support, but it's already available for just $398 shipped on Amazon.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ba095ce4e80a5a9e33e26953593a5ac6.jpgYesterday, the internet went slightly crazy for the story of Promobot, a Russian-made "runaway robot" that escaped its handlers and caused a traffic jam on a suburban Russian street. It's a story perfectly set up for viral success: out-of-control machinery, Russian dashcam footage, and a cute little robot is a YouTube traffic-maker from the heavens. The only little niggle? I'm personally pretty sure that the entire thing was fabricated to generate publicity.
