- 27 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4b77bdaf4ee4a84419fd97e2d593c729.jpgLong before Game of Thrones season 6 kicked off on HBO, book readers began to worry that the show would spoil many of the upcoming plot points in the remaining books that George R.R. Martin has yet to complete. They were right — the show has now moved into uncharted territory — but that doesn't mean the books aren't still going to have plenty of surprises of their own.

Google adding Google Cast to Google Fiber TV boxes
by Guest Jeff Causey- 0 replies
- 26 views
Although Google Chromecast devices are immensely helpful to content viewers who have existing hardware that need the support, Google is making the technology, Google Cast, that drives their dongles available outside of those devices. We are seeing more support for Google Cast built directly into televisions. Now Google is adding one of their own, in-house […] Come comment on this article: Google adding Google Cast to Google Fiber TV boxes Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/716462ca26cad42cb60569a950cb9f80._.gif News via TalkAndroid

Hackers are using remote-control software Teamviewer to hijack PCs and drain PayPal accounts

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e9dc65510b27621f6ac7a70f6fbb06a2.pngTeamviewer, a piece of software that people can use to remote-control PCs, appears to have been hacked. Numerous user reports have indicated that unknown third parties are taking control of PCs and trying to steal money, through services like PayPal or eBay. Needless to say, this looks bad. Teamviewer has denied the allegations, but something's definitely going on. Dozens of Reddit users are flooding the /r/teamviewer forum looking for advice, and one of my personal friends asked my advice after reporting something very similar.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6440fc7499f02fba498e2dafc6564fa1.pngAt Google I/O, the company announced Google Home, an always-listening digital assistant/speaker much like Amazon Echo. Although the speaker looks like a handy way to get Google's smarts all over your home, it also means bringing Google's already-creepy information engine into your house, and telling it all about your life. Luckily, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has laid out at least one privacy protection: an 'incognito mode' for Echo, so it can make dinner plans for your mistress without your wife finding out.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a6cc549972a7946bcbc1bcdf173ad30c.jpgAll-in-one PCs are normally found in libraries or your grandparents' den. They're the Honda Accord of computing: predictable, boring, and practical. But what happens if you put genuinely top-end components inside a 34-inch curved screen? Well, you're going to have trouble fitting it on your grandpa's desk, that's for sure.

Our favorite iPhone 6s clear case is half the price of when we last recommended it

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/3188e4cc0ac1c6ccf922eb7993966de3.jpg They say you get what you pay for and when it comes to iPhone 6s cases, it's often worth paying a little extra in order to ensure that you get the protection your phone so desperately needs. Of course sometimes a killer sale comes along and that old adage gets tossed aside. Last time we recommended the Speck CandyShell Case for iPhone 6s & iPhone 6, it cost $34.95 on Amazon and it was well worth the price. But now, you can snag one of our favorite iPhone clear cases for just $15.99 with free shipping, and that's a deal that is way too good to pass up. (more…) http://androidforum…

If you’ve ever used a device that skimped on internal storage, you probably know the struggle of running out of space for new apps.

Google Home is actually a Chromecast at heart
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 29 views
Google Home is one of the coolest gadgets to come out of Google I/O this year, but it might be a simpler piece of technology than we thought. Instead of running a full-blown Android installation, it’s actually based on Google’s wildly successful Chromecast. This move makes sense from just about every angle, though.

Jeff Bezos explains why Amazon pulled the Apple TV from its online store
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 55 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b7ae95d84ed44b57847115bcd23f0e54.jpgThe Apple TV is a great for watching content from any number of media sources, including Netflix, YouTube and a growing and seemingly endless selection of channels from various content providers. Conspicuously absent, however, is support for Amazon's Prime Video; which is a shame because Prime Video itself boasts an impressive selection of compelling and exclusive video content. For some time, it's been widely assumed that the lack of support for Prime Video on the Apple TV was rooted in Amazon's desire to push sales of its own Fire TV set top box. This sentiment was only bolstered when Amazon…

This is how budget airlines are so cheap

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/05b7eb7714d74ed04ad7a974a36d6071.jpgGiven that all airlines are in the business of strapping people into seats and transporting them from A to B, I've always found it surprising that budget airlines can do the same thing for a third of the price of big carriers, and still make a profit. How do they make it work? As Wendoverproductions explains in this video, it involves a lot of intelligent (but counter-intuitive) business moves, and only a little screwing over the average passenger.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/3aff3af3ca5cd17d339bc228317bb0e8.jpg Roku has grown to become one of the clear leaders in the increasingly popular market for streaming media boxes. With the cost of pay TV climbing ever higher, more and more people are cutting the cord and looking for more affordable home entertainment. Roku gives them access to all of the most popular services like Netflix, Amazon Video and Hulu. In fact, Roku users have access to more than 10,000 channels of streaming entertainment.

However, that doesn’t mean Apple has given up on radical iPhone redesigns. The company is rumored to be planning a curved iPhone as soon as next year, a device that could have a larger display-to-face ratio and curved display edges, just like a certain Samsung phone. we know (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4e2466ac46fc12de02ac9c9cfaf61495._.gif Via BRG - Boy Genius Report

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2c8943fcec22e8117d48c74123b530d3.jpgWhen OnePlus released its first Cyanogen-powered smartphone back in 2014, it was one of the biggest surprises of the year. The phone was an incredible value for Android fans looking to stray a bit from the mainstream, packing specs and a design that could have easily commanded far more than its modest asking price. 2015's sequel pushed things even further, offering improved hardware along with even better specs compared to rival smartphones at the time. Now, the world is eagerly awaiting the OnePlus 3, the third iteration of OnePlus's flagship smartphone model. Good news, Android fans: The wai…

In fact, Asus figured out how to do something amazing that not even Apple could figure out on the iPhone 6s or the upcoming iPhone 7. The new phone looks fantastic, but there's another benefit from seeing Asus announce a new Zenfone model — the current ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition is available at a deep discount unlocked and contract free.
