Apple’s efforts to buy Time Warner fell through
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 47 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6869ed11faf349b5f75a4084e3adbd91.jpegSome question Apple’s future in all sorts of “doom” scenarios, but the iPhone maker is hardly doomed. Its cash pile alone could help it move in any number of new directions, and a new report proves exactly that. Apparently, Apple considered buying Time Warner as it looked to make a major push into the media business.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/cc43521054e8e8c20647c7c28c921030.jpg If you want a Bose home audio system and you don't want to drop a boatload of case to get it, a Bluetooth speaker is definitely the way to go. And anyone who's tried a Bluetooth speaker from Bose knows that they offer sound far bigger than they look. Bose specializes in packing great big sound into tiny little speakers, and there is perhaps no better example of that right now than the Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker III. Hearing is believing, and right now you can take a listed for just $269.00, which matches the SoundLink III's lowest price ever. (more…) http://androidforum.us/data/M…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0b5290b53390f4c1e693d7d254f928c7.jpgRunning an airlines is a surprisingly unprofitable business, considering that the model does revolve around charging people many hundreds of dollars to sit in a chair. But as the WSJ points out, airlines have a creative new way to charge you a hundred bucks for something that used to be called "common courtesy."

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9780272251e6bf24bc00c7f5e86ff396.jpgSince 2007, I’ve read countless versions of the “Apple is doomed” argument, most of them related to the iPhone. Apple was doomed because it dared compete in the smartphone business, then it was doomed when Android came along, and then it was doomed every time a product failed to arouse the imagination of some analyst or journalist. In all this time, however, Apple has been anything but doomed. And it’s likely that will not happen in the foreseeable future. Today’s version of "Apple is doomed" comes from well-known outspoken software developer Marco Arment, who has often shared his views on App…

But how do you catch errant texters? With a DSLR and some serious glass, if you're Canada's Mounties.

Sadly, even with its enormous budget and its long running time, Civil War didn't have room for all of our favorite heroes. But don't worry, Hulk fans — the Green Goliath can't be held back for long.

That's bad news for the workers and good news for Apple's bottom line, but it also hints at something else: the solution to Apple's offshore manufacturing "problem."

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9d7429b76e09b6bc30480cba55628abd.jpgThere are more tools now at the disposal of people trying to lose weight and get in shape than there have ever been in the past. But unhealthy food is also more abundant than ever before, and the number of Americans who lead a sedentary lifestyle continues to grow. I know how difficult it can be to lose weight. I spent most of my life as an obese American before losing 50 lbs in just 3 months on the way to my target weight. Unfortunately, not all Americans have found the motivation to shed excess weight and improve their health — according to the CDC's most recent National Health Interview Sur…

For a service that isn’t expected to even be profitable for another two years, Verizon bet big on Go90. And while the carrier claims that performance of the Net Neutrality-skirting video streaming app is “satisfactory,” they also know that it got a little bit overhyped and caught a bit of flak for what it is.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/39a72683974e3ee10e32ec552d8cdfe9.jpgFor years, Samsung has teased fans with flexible and foldable smartphones and tablets, but the company is yet to released any commercial product that people can prod and poke and buy. Sure, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S6 both have “edge” versions with curved displays, and they’re gorgeous screens, but the curve isn't a must-have feature in a smartphone. However, Samsung is working on a different type of foldable display, and that’s something to be excited about. Rumors claim that a Galaxy X flagship smartphone will join the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note lines next year, sporting a flexible display. Th…

Hope you weren’t too excited for the Galaxy Note 6 this year, because it’s not happening.
