http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/94849358505db14b90719c2e98b945f1.jpgWe recently told you about an exciting development at MIT, where researchers discovered a way to double the amount of energy generated by solar cells. The breakthrough involves reconfiguring solar panels, adding an additional layer to their structure that reflects sunlight to a second solar cell at the optimal wavelength for peak efficiency. It's an intriguing project that could have far reaching implications, but efficiency is just one of several barriers preventing solar energy from being utilized more widely. Now, another barrier may be on the brink of toppling as a new research is developi…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/92253bb47d639f4ac339d3ee623245b0.jpgApple is rumored to give its MacBook Pro a major makeover this year, with one of the new changes concerning the function keys that make the top row of the regular MacBook Pro keyboard. Rather than going with physical keys, Apple has reportedly opted for a secondary OLED display to replace the entire row.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/32b369b97ed1a30f1f7f315110ca7cef.jpgOn paper, Google's 2014 acquisition of Nest had all the makings of a perfect marriage. Nest at the time was riding high on the popularity of its Nest Thermostat and was led by Tony Fadell, a former Apple executive credited with dreaming the iPod into existence. Google, meanwhile, was a gargantuan company with the requisite resources to help take Nest to the next level. At the time, it was widely believed that Nest's Learning Thermostat and smart smoke detector were just the beginning of what promised to be a long line of ingenious products for the home. In reality, Google's marriage to Nest wa…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c63501c43414d3941296d3024658c952.jpg What makes a good desktop PC for home entertainment? It obviously needs to have a fast processor and plenty of RAM, and it needs to be about to pump out high-definition video like it's nothing. A giant hard drive is also a must-have, and it should be a solid state drive to ensure fast read times. It absolutely has to have a solid graphics card as well as fast AC wireless, of course, and it should look sleek so that it blends in with your decor instead of being an eyesore.

Not only that, but you never know where he's bound to pop up: you might find him courtside at an NBA game, shooting airballs while warming up with the University of Kentucky basketball team, laughing it it up on SNL, or even hanging out with Tim Cook and co. at WWDC. Suffice it to say, Drake at this point is a bonafide A-lister that has made the leap from music star to media star. But all that aside, Drizzy, at the core, is all about churning out music. And a whole lot of it at that. From any number of mixtapes and guest appearances to a …
