http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9ca9258b58a7a947dbf0a24ff42942ac.jpgEven Tesla has been surprised by just how popular its Model 3 has been. With around 400,000 preorders, Tesla recently adopted a new production plan that would see it manufacture half a million vehicles a year in 2018, or two years faster than initial projections. Tesla also set an internal deadline for producing the Model 3, one that it confirmed it won’t be able to meet. As Tesla said, Model 3 production will actually depend on a lot of factors, many outside its reach. And in a recently filed SEC document, Tesla went into further details about the challenges it will face when producing the Mo…

The hand has five fingers, tendons, joints, over a hundred sensors, and is capable of moving faster than its human counterpart. In a video the university released, the hand can be seen delicately rotating a tube full of coffee beans-- an activity that the robot can improve iteratively, the university said.

People on both sides of the fence believe strongly in their stances, and neither side seems swayed by convincing arguments made by the other.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a2bae328acaa026b3ac9e9345b95a7b4.jpgWhatsApp has been a smartphone-only messaging program for ever, but that changes today. There's now desktop clients for both Windows and OS X, in addition to the months-old web client. This doesn't reflect some giant change for WhatsApp -- the desktop clients just mirror what's on your phone. In other words, you need your phone powered on and running the WhatsApp app to send and receive messages. You scan a QR code on the desktop app with your smartphone, and what you see on your laptop is a reflection of the WhatsApp app on your phone, complete with sent messages and chats. (more…)http://…
