We’re fighting cancer with a universal vaccine
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 40 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ffa74a16b1e2cbe2f52ab27dfaab9eea.jpgHow cool would it be to stop cancer dead in its tracks using a vaccine that would work regardless of cancer type? It turns out that humanity is already thinking along those lines, and it’s looking to introduce a type of “universal cancer vaccine” that would be able to trigger the human’s body built-in defenses to kill cancerous cells. Specifically, researchers at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, have initiated a limited safety human trial, after experiments on mice showed impressive results.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7fd6a21a721358d3db71d840715c4136.jpgSet to be completed in late 2016 or early 2017, Apple's new Spaceship campus will be a marvel to behold once construction winds down and Apple employees begin making the transition over from 1 Infinite Loop. An ambitious project to say the least, it's been estimated that Apple will have spent upwards of $5 billion on construction costs by the time the dust settles. Featuring a completely circular design -- hence the unofficial title of Spaceship Campus -- Apple's new headquarters will feature more than 3,000 curved panels of glass on the perimeter. Additionally, the new building will include a…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f1a35e38cea31fdcd6b5852e98404012.jpg OK, this is starting to get crazy now. There was a time not too long ago when new television technology drove up prices for years before it was finally attainable. Then things calmed down a little and years became months. But these days, the latest and greatest TV tech out there is made affordable right out of the gate, and here's proof: the Hisense 55H7B2 55-Inch 4K Smart LED TV, which has a killer 4.3-star rating from more than 300 customer reviews on Amazon, is now just $648 with free shipping.

Google may use gigabit Wi-Fi to bring Fiber to the masses

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c914b001a4c90107f04f574f31b3ccbf.jpgGoogle's cheap, high-speed Fiber network is the internet we all need, but very few actually get. A lot of that has to do with the cost of running fiber-optic under streets and to houses, which involves a lot of messy manual labor. One solution Google is looking at, according to Alphabet chairperson Eric Schmidt, is millimeter-wave wireless signals to cover the "last mile" to customers' houses.

Larry David may return to HBO for a new season of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/cd0ef0d2c11bc1619748ce0ad450a601.jpgHBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm has been in a weird sort of purgatory for years now. Though the show never officially ended -- nor was it cancelled -- the last time we saw a new episode from Larry David and co. was back in 2011. Since then, David has been rather coy about whether or not the show has a future. And of course, with each passing year, many fans of the show began to begrudgingly accept the fact that the show would probably never return to air. Not to worry Curb fans, we have some pretty good news to share. In fact, you might even say its pretty, pretty, pretty good news. (more…)http…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/64fdb58a3a2f4f954010b2dc7331ed2a.jpg Those tiny little Bluetooth speakers that are so popular right now are very cool. They're great for listening to much while you work or while you're cooking in the kitchen, and they can even provide decent background music while you're entertaining. If you want your music to be the life of the party though, some tiny little wireless speaker just isn't going to cut it. That's where the Sony GTKXB7BC High Power Home Audio System with Bluetooth comes in, and it's on sale right now on Amazon for this week only.

Tesla denies that it forced a Model S owner to keep quiet about repairs

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d3a8e3c9503c1f6263ce1bd7f8250981.jpgEven Tesla detractors would have to concede that the company isn't afraid to be painfully honest about its mistakes, no matter how bad the resulting PR might be. Whether it's Elon Musk admitting that the Model X design was too ambitious or the company issuing a voluntary recall for the Model S this past November, Tesla has always been upfront and honest about its missteps. That said, a strange story about Tesla began to gain traction in the mainstream press late this week. According to a report from Reuters, the U.S. National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently began probing reports…

The Moto X and Moto Z are scratching two different itches
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies

After waiting and waiting for a refreshed Moto X, Lenovo gave us the Moto Z. While the Moto Z doesn’t look like a bad phone (Verizon exclusivity notwithstanding), it’s disappointing to not see a true successor to the Moto X line. Lenovo dropped some good news, though. The Moto X is still alive and well, as […] Come comment on this article: The Moto X and Moto Z are scratching two different itches Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d1bd725346f3faee4231a2d4d446a394._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d68a682bbd0b7a60ba033cb599d3ad98.jpgBarack Obama may be the most powerful man in the world, but his smartphone game is in need of repair. In fact, the smartphone you currently have in your pocket is probably more advanced than the one he's using. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon yesterday, Obama said that while he has a smartphone of sorts, its functionality is extremely limited due to security concerns. So while we're all busy tweeting, texting, taking photos and more, Obama remains stuck on the sidelines. In an amusing anecdote, Obama recalled the conversation that accompanied him receiving his ne…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bca35afd173559a723b75c8ce3bf74a0.jpg I have to be perfectly honest with you... I've never played a video game on a PC in my life. OK, that's not entirely true — I used to play a few old school games in elementary school like Oregon Trail. But when it comes to the new-generation of console-quality games, I've never tried one before. And I'm still going to buy the Razer BlackWidow Chroma Clicky Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, with is easily the most insane keyboard I've ever seen in my life. Right now until the end of the day on Saturday, June 11th, it's on sale for just $140 shipped to your door. (more…) http://androidforum…

10 years too late, Intel is finally going to supply iPhone parts
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 37 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2fc9d7ed4b29da665e402eac3beb035f.jpgWhen the iPhone first launched, Intel had a stranglehold over processors for consumer electronics. A decade later, and the giant has managed to completely screw up the mobile revolution. Every major smartphone is running an ARM processor, and Intel's nowhere to be seen. The company has taken the tiniest step in reversing that change, with Bloomberg reporting that Intel will make modems for Apple's next iPhone. That places it among other such titans of industry as MediaTek and TSMC. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/02f92089bc413144addcaf94272916ea._.gif Via BRG - Boy Ge…

On that front, the studio has repeatedly succeeded. From the inspired choice of Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man all the way up to Tom Holland stepping in for Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, Marvel has rarely, if ever, made a misstep when casting its iconic characters. But what if the MCU kicked off 20 years earlier? (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c130abc9e0f1117837b49c2758b95c03._.gif Via BRG - Boy Genius Report

Unlike last year’s Moto X Pure Edition, the unlocked Moto Z will be GSM only

Logic would dictate that since the Moto Z is going to be a Verizon exclusive until the fall, when the unlocked version finally does arrive it would work with CDMA carriers, such as Verizon itself, as well as GSM carriers.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4faae2d28e35b9580788edbbe2ced39f.jpgWhen it comes to conceptual renders of upcoming Apple products, there's only one designer worth keeping an eye on: Martin Hajek. Over the years, Hajek's skillfully crafted and tantalizing concept images have provided us with insight into what future Apple hardware and software might look like. And now with reports that Apple has plans to introduce a revamped MacBook Pro with an OLED touch panel located at the top of the keyboard, Hajek has delivered yet another home run. Based on reports from the rumor mill, Hajek yesterday released a number of renderings which aim to show us how and why Apple…
