by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 22 views
4K displays in a virtual reality headset might happen sooner than you think. Samsung has shown off an ultra HD screen that’s intended to be used in VR applications, which should offer a considerable bump in quality and pixels over what we’re using in headsets right now. The display itself was a 5.5-inch screen with […] Come comment on this article: Samsung shows off 4K screens for virtual reality displays Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/850936d151b81ecd3a751c1eb6d60cce._.gif News via TalkAndroid

by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 21 views
Making fun of Acer’s goofy name for the Liquid Zest Plus never gets old, and we’ll have even more opportunities to do so since the device has a release date and price. With that being said, the phone looks like it’s poised to make a splash in the extremely competitive US market with some pretty […] Come comment on this article: Acer’s Liquid Zest Plus hits stores in July, complete with funny name and 5,000 mAh battery Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d9b7af1fff2ec30c507c24953cd2cf81._.gif News via TalkAndroid

It looks like Samsung could be gearing up for a new product announcement. Allegedly called Samsung Pay Mini, this new service would be a lightweight version of Samsung Pay, designed only for online payments. That said, Samsung Pay Mini wouldn’t have any access to contactless payments through the MST (Magnetic Secure Transaction) standard.

HTC today launched its Memorial Day sale, allowing consumers to purchase an HTC 10 and get a RE Camera at no extra cost! Not sure what HTC’s RE Camera is? It’s essentially a handheld 16-megapixel camera that connects to your smartphone, using the phone as a viewfinder.

Not only did ZTE announce a luxury car-inspired smartphone today, but they also took the wraps off of a very capable looking VR headset. Best of all, it supports Google’s Daydream platform, which is arguably the most exciting part of the reveal. Aside from the name and Daydream support, ZTE didn’t say much about the […] Come comment on this article: ZTE announced the ZTE VR headset, also supports Google Daydream Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0141ac548157914cc75116f2350701fd._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4039d90984d34a7359ee94c3abd64421.jpgSpaceX is ramping up the number of launches of its Falcon 9 rocket, which is good for the company, and great for fans of large explosions. Tonight, Elon Musk's rocket company is shooting a commercial communications satellite to geostationary orbit. The first stage will once again try and land on a barge in the ocean, but the trajectory of the launch means that the landing will be "challenging."

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/71b6305bbd7a73542695ab9d08d1284d.jpg Summer is almost here. In fact, if you live in the Northeast, summer just came from out of nowhere. With beach season practically upon us, it's time to take advantage of all the preseason sales and stock up on beach gear before prices go up. If you're looking for a bargain on a must-have accessory, look no further than the Gaosa Universal Waterproof bag for Outdoor Activities, which will fit any iPhone and most Android phones, keeping them safe from splashes. In fact, you can even capture underwater photos and videos at depths up to 82 feet. (more…) http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirr…

America’s nukes are controlled by dead technology and we’re afraid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f314ff1e849032610655e14c7118f21c.jpgIt’s 2016 and for some reason, the world’s most powerful nations still have nuclear weapons – you know, just in case they need them. America's nukes are controlled by computers, no surprise there. On the plus side, these computers are so old that they can’t be hacked by zit-popping teenage hackerss. In fact, the devices used to control nukes are so old that most Snapchat users might not understand what they are. These massively destructive weapons are actually controlled by floppy disks. That's right, the same ones that died off years ago. Is there really nothing more modern that people can us…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/486cded61964a53a70d825d404b96f6c.jpgMuch like the characters featured in the game itself, Ghost Recon Wildlands has been surprisingly hard to find over the past several months. After being unveiled at Ubisoft's E3 press conference last year, Wildlands immediately went into hiding, with nary a screenshot or a trailer to be found. In fact, I'd nearly forgotten the game even existed. Until today. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/519a4680c8086e1c4bd0fd3f0bf85ab3._.gif Via BRG - Boy Genius Report

New law would let the FBI read your email without a court order
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7bbb6df680f1847ddd49965792a8457a.pngA new Senate bill would let the FBI and other law enforcement agencies access the contents of any US citizen’s email without a court order during investigations. Instead, the FBI would need just a National Security Letter, which would force companies to provide email access to the agency without alerting the person who’s being investigated. The FBI can already access phone records without a court order, but that law doesn’t apply to email conversations.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1241a0337d2455d9192a0c7daa171cd7.jpgFor a long time, Apple's secrecy was legendary. The company managed to keep secrets under wraps better than any other consumer electronics company in the world. But the explosive popularity of the iPhone changed everything. Workers at the factories where Apple's gear is built found out how valuable these leaks can be, and almost nothing is a surprise these days when Apple finally announces something new. In the past, these leaks have done precious little in terms of a material impact on Apple's bottom line. This year with the iPhone 7, however, that could change. (more…)http://androidforum.…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/857fb0443c864ef58dfaf2eec7a01b6d.jpgNetflix's strategy for global video domination can be summed up in two words: original content. Building off the success of 2013's House of Cards, Netflix in recent years has launched an absolute avalanche of original content that spans every genre imaginable, including crime thrillers, comedies, sci-fi, political dramas, animated sitcoms, superhero dramas and even true-crime documentaries. In fact, Netflix this past January said that it plans to roll out 600 hours of original programming throughout 2016, an impressive 33% increase from 2015.
