by Guest Justin Herrick- 0 replies
- 24 views
Just one week after Google’s Android Security Bulletin for June 2016 went up, a software update is rolling out to the unlocked HTC 10 that includes three enhancements. The unlocked HTC 10’s software update includes the security patches from Google, bug fixes, and system stability improvement. The version is 1.80.617.1 and it’s a mild 304.51MB package.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9ba77d0dfc303ddca6942bbd1fc2276e.jpg Smartphone projectors make up a rapidly emerging category for a few good reasons. Modern Android phones and iPhones are insanely powerful but they have tiny little displays that will never be good for a crowd. That's where devices like the Celluon PicoPro Ultra-portable Laser HD Projector come into play. Connect your phone to the PicoPro using a cable or Miracast and you can beam a beautiful HD picture with an 80,000:1 contrast ratio on any wall or projector screen.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9c03cef7f3853766e45df3e5389293c2.pngApple is the only company that owns a full set of smartphones, laptops, desktops, and wearables all running its own software. (Hi Windows Phone, you don't count.) There's always been a lingering question about how and when all those platforms would come together to create the Ultimate Apple Experience™, a perfect Jobsian singularity. That's not happening quite yet, but after today's keynote, we have a much better idea what that will look like.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/35a6f7ca007400b1bc00ad2b1291e3ce.jpgApple's huge WWDC 2016 keynote is now behind us, which means it's finally time to catch our breath and take account of all the announcements Apple just made from San Francisco on Monday. Whew! Apple put on quite a show on Monday and fans had a whole lot to absorb, since WWDC 2016 was jam-packed full of big announcements. Not everyone was able to follow along live of course, and even if you did, there was so much news that the odds are good you missed a few things from the show. Don't worry — in this post we'll recap every single one of the biggest and best announcements from WWDC 2016. (mor…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d4766ec219af5c9e69176610ecba6092.jpgThe iPhone 7 won't be official for quite some time, but most leaks suggest that the final design of Apple’s 2016 flagship smartphones will be strikingly similar to the iPhone 6s series. But just because the iPhone maker isn’t going for a radical redesign just yet, it doesn’t mean the new iPhones will be boring. Just last week, designer Martin Hajek used the latest leaked 3D renders of the iPhone 7 and schematics to create concept images of the phone, and the results were spectacular. Hajek is now back with his interpretation of a new rumor that emerged since then: The iPhone 7 will come suppos…

When the smoke finally cleared at Pulse nightclub and a hostage situation ended with SWAT personnel shooting the 29-year-old attacker dead, Omar Mateen had taken 50 lives and wounded 53 more. The nation and the world is now in mourning following the most horrific mass shooting in United States history. The attack was also deadliest such event in the US since 9/11.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f45f28e12f44c00d24581c7d9d468940.jpgYou know all that annoying spam you get in your inbox about people you don't really know moving to new positions at companies you've never heard of? Well, those emails come from Microsoft now. The company announced on Monday morning that it is acquiring LinkedIn for a whopping $26.2 billion, or $196 per share. That's a healthy premium over Friday's $131.08 close, and there will be plenty of analysis in the media over the coming days tossing around theories about this monster deal. But if you want to know why Microsoft just spent a fortune to acquire the world's premiere professional networking…

Brilliant iPhone accessory is a portable charger, wall charger and PC connector cable in one

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/195f8347a4cacf1131033a2884ca7c1c.jpg If you stop to really think about it, it makes no sense at all to use a separate wall charger, portable charger and USB sync cable with your PC or Mac. All three of those functions are related, and they all involve something with a Lightning plug on one end and a USB plug on the other. So naturally, Native Union mashed all three functions into a single smart device: Check out the Native Union JUMP Cable for Apple Lightning Devices, an Apple MFi Certified device that pulls triple duty.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/88a5b8e7609c5b618ef3e9ff4542cfd9.gifAwesome: extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear. It's a word that gets overused on the internet (probably by me), but I would argue that daisy-chaining 5000 fireworks together, jacking them up on a piece of heavy machinery and filming the result qualifies. That's exactly what strange British YouTube man Colin Furze did to celebrate his channel hitting three million subscribers. Pointless, yes; awesome, absolutely.

NSA reveals why it couldn’t hack the San Bernardino terrorist’s iPhone 5c

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/26b16ab259ae4bb41e1c1c0b07e0bb3d.jpgOne of the more surprising aspects regarding the locked iPhone 5c involved in the San Bernardino terrorist attack of 2015 was that the FBI was unable to unlock the device by themselves. What's more, we would later find out that even the NSA -- who the FBI asked for assistance -- lacked the requisite tools to unlock the device, a somewhat startling fact given all we know about the NSA's activities and expertise. Speaking at a conference on military technology this past Friday, NSA deputy director Richard Ledgett addressed the topic and explained why the NSA was unable to access Syed Farook's iP…
