- 38 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d51f126522bca52ff884794a3cbda95a.jpgIt’s the end of May, which means that X-Men: Apocalypse is finally hitting theaters all over the world; following its international launch, the new X-Men movie is now finally playing in the US. If you’re going to ignore all the critics who slammed it and see the most terrifying X-Men villain yet, you should expect a bombardment of new trailers, including a few exciting new ones.

No one needs a Wi-Fi router this overkill
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

Look, I get it. Bad Wi-Fi is one of life's worst tortures, up there with rush-hour traffic and Comcast customer service. But surely there's a solution that's a little more sane than this $400 Linksys router that looks like it wants to rip my head off?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c8b5bd06276532c02c4a55fa82149fde.jpgThe presumptive Republican nominee for president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live this Wednesday. As has become the norm for his talk show appearances, it was a relatively mellow affair, with Trump avoiding any of the colorful language or boisterous claims that draw crowds to his rallies all across the country, but there was one moment in particular that stood out like a sore thumb among the rest of the banter.

This backpack computer makes a PC-grade virtual reality experience portable

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8c94699c96197528b7919694c6a8d111.jpgOne of the problems with virtual reality is that it’s not really portable. You’ve got your Google Cardboard and Gear VR products that can turn your mobile phone into a VR machine, but that’s not the powerful VR experience many users want. That’s what the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are for. But such advanced VR headsets have to be tethered to a computer that can deliver enough horsepower to offer you a more immersive VR experience. Luckily, some companies have figured out a clever way to offer users a mobile VR experience that is PC-grade. MSI is one of them, and the company has just come up with…

Producer of fitness tracker, Jawbone, may soon be no more. According to sources who spoke with Tech Insider, the company sold the last of its inventory to a retailer and has shut down production. Jawbone’s existing fitness trackers, UP2, UP3, and UP4, have been slow to sell according to sources.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/434de3661e004c59f5277957e06dfb8e.jpg Whether or not you would ever even consider purchasing a Mac, there's no question that Apple's MacBook Air line of notebook computers completely changed the way PC makers design laptops. Style and portability became just as important as performance, and we've all benefitted as a result. Now, we're finally getting to a point where Windows PC makers are outdoing the MacBook Air by making laptops just as sleek and stylish but way more powerful. Case in point: The new LG gram 15" Laptop, which could very well be the ultimate laptop. (more…) http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/62…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a3d0106534ed7b9df20ed051ff5fa7da.jpg In your living room, there's no such thing as a TV that's too big. If you can find a model within your price range that occupies an entire wall, get it. But elsewhere in your home, you might not want to feel like you're at a drive-in movie. Of course, you still want a decent size screen and a good quality set, but you definitely don't want to spend a lot of money. Meet your next TV, the LG Electronics 43LH5700 43-Inch 1080p Smart LED TV (2016 Model), which is on sale right now on Amazon for just $367 with free Prime shipping. That's a killer price for a brand new 2016 model HDTV. (more…

10 Netflix movies you have to watch this weekend before they disappear
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 57 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c68c800db82e8bb407f63881dfaff33b.jpgNetflix can be so cruel. The company's streaming video service completely changed the way we watch movies and TV shows, and we've now grown accustomed to being able to open the app on any laptop, smartphone, tablet or TV and stream whatever we want. Of course, Netflix strikes licensing deals with content owners for the rights to stream their movies and TV shows, and those deals are never open-ended. Current content disappears almost as quickly as new content is added each month, and in June it's worse than normal since Netflix is losing hundreds of movies from Miramax as the pair's 5-year, $10…

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ review roundup: Critics hate it, so it’s probably amazing
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b1a4fb15d1fc2d6074c2772580d74d49.jpgIf Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice taught us anything, it's that there is a massive disconnect between film critics and fans when it comes to superhero movies and similar fantasy genres. In fact, critics might just be useless. The movie was panned by nearly every critic who reviewed it, and it went on to pull in more than $870 million at the box office. What's more, there's 40% discrepancy between the film's critical rating and its fan rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Fast forward to today, and there's a new big-budget fantasy movie hitting theaters that has also been completely torn apart by cri…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fb9768e196ee49beba6458ba69a6faff.jpg What do you get when you cross a full-rate ADSL 2/2+ modem, a 4-port switch and a 300 Mbps wireless-N router? A very happy home internet user and a very angry ISP, that's what. We've told you a number of time how internet service providers add bogus modem rental fees to your bill each month, and we explained how to eliminate those fees. All you have to do is purchase your own compatible modem and call up your ISP, then they have to help you set it up. Once that's done, you can return your ISP's old modem and knock anywhere from $96 to $120 off the annual cost of home internet service. …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b33f548e6b14dde67a4f651658bbea29.jpgA government-funded study was released this morning which somewhat shows a link between cellphones and cancer. The results are catnip to the paleo-vegan anti-vaxxer crowd, who see the $25 million study as vindication for an irrational fear of technology. But while the results are certainly interesting, they absolutely do not show that your cellphone is going to give you a brain tumor.
