http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/59dc7c1f5026faca2c12b90976392620.jpg After Windows 8 enraged users, Microsoft had to put some serious time and effort into winning back the hearts and minds of PC users.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/199c9cb2d56ef7567121c36d96bd91d4.jpgThe state of robotics is seemingly moving at warp speed these days. Not only do we have Google's Boston Dynamics division churning out increasingly adept, capable and nimble robots, we're also seeing a discernible improvement in the likeness robots bear to humans. The most recent example of this comes to us via China where university researchers recently unveiled a realistic robot called Jia Jia. Three years in the making, Jia Jia ostensibly looks like a female adult, complete with facial features that can move (she blinks!), realistic facial expressions and human-like hair. Without question, …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/66bcd875c13e2c60433c6a13a0a53b43.jpgWhile Julia Louis-Dreyfus is naturally associated with Seinfeld and - more recently - Veep, you might be surprised to learn that she actually had a substantive stint as a Saturday Night Live cast member from 1982 and 1985. In fact, it was during her time at SNL during the 1980s that she first met Seinfeld co-creator Larry David. Over the weekend, both Louis-Dreyfus and David returned to the comedic playground that is SNL where Louis-Dreyfus handled hosting duties. And David, predictably, reprised his spot-on Bernie Sanders impression during the show's opening sketch. (more…)http://androidf…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2f51fb126193e21d23e6de31c1b9b544.jpgIf you ask the average politician to talk about anything related to technology, chances are you'll come away distressed by their total lack of knowledge. However, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau last week wowed the tech world during an event at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo when expertly answered a question related to quantum computing. However, his impressive response to a question on quantum computing may have been too good to be true.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/eef714d9b288442452216671de0dd38f.pngGreat art occasionally requires great sacrifice, but not every artist is ready and willing to put everything on the line in order to chase perfection. In fact, many of the biggest blockbuster movies of the past several decades have put their stars in increasingly uncomfortable scenarios, forcing them to step outside of their comfort zones to bring the world of the film to life.

There are even a bunch of first-time deals on various products, offering the lowest prices we've ever seen in some cases. To start things off, we've collected 13 of the best daily Amazon deals we found this morning after going through hundreds of them. The bargains include a 43" high-def television for just $199.99, a great price on the Nexus 5X, a killer $90 Wi-Fi router for just $50, a huge 13,000 mAh portable charger for $30, and much more.

Literally anyone can now afford to drive a Tesla -- here's how
by Guest Brad Reed- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e09ff4a65802c98807235e576eca8c4e.pngThe Tesla Model 3 is going to be the more affordable Tesla ever... but you're still years away from being able to actually own one. Since most of us can't afford to shell out the cash needed to buy either a Model S or Model X right now, that leaves us with one option if we want to drive a Tesla: Rentals. The problem with rentals, however, is that they're also pretty expensive. Given the high demand for Teslas on the rental car market, we've seen rental agencies charge anywhere from $400 to $900 per day just for the privilege of driving the hugely popular electric vehicles. However, there is an…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a458be46e564a120bc1114cc846dfa09.jpg With Netflix, Hulu Plus, and a host of other streaming services offering monthly subscriptions, it isn’t really a surprise that Amazon has chosen to offer its Prime Video as a standalone service with a monthly fee. Instead of being bundled up as part of Amazon Prime‘s one-off payment of $99, you can now choose to subscribe only to Prime Video for $8.99 a month. http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/cb635344619666b613147b46f4c227fd.pngAs you might expect, if you choose to subscribe to Prime Video, you will only be able to access Prime Video content, none of the other Amazon Prime b…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9e5201d0f213bd1b02f887e82975b83f.jpg Full resolution camera samples from the Xperia X has been posted online, showing all that the smartphone’s new 23-megapixel rear sensor can do. Sony announced the new Xperia X series earlier this year, also revealing that the new range of devices would become available in the summer. Unfortunately, Sony also announced the death of the Xperia Z series, as the Xperia X series will be replacing it. http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fb6d3b45a131052e33839df08ecad798.jpg Recombu was recently able to get a review unit, and has been posting their impression of the device over …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f381c31607b028466b8538eb88f322ba.jpg New images from NoWhereElse.fr has been posted online, finally showing off the rumored Moto G4. And from what we can tell, it’s a sleek handset sporting both a new camera and what seems to be a “square” fingerprint sensor. The images don’t show much. In fact, all we’re really seeing here is a normal smartphone setup. The only real “big” difference as far as aesthetics go is the change in camera design. Now, there’s a black pill-shaped glass camera on the back as opposed to that matte design of last year’s Moto G. http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/5592dac46e3e90bf0e6df6aa1…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ecfd2a5d53e90d81cfeb93d20dce685b.jpg Now that we’re in April, it’s that time of the year when millions of people worldwide consider the options for their next phone. LG and Samsung will be at the top of the list for many because their new flagships, the G5 and Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, were announced on the very same day before being released in the last few weeks. Samsung is playing it safe by having the Galaxy S7 appeal to the masses, but LG embarked on an innovative journey to create the G5. The company’s fifth flagship doesn’t care about tradition and what the smartphone has always been. It’s is all about being what you want…

Now you can with Android Wear. Microsoft’s email client Outlook has added support for Android Wear smartwatches in its latest update on the Play Store.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8581aa7d5efa25ee2b8c1d154bc36ba2.jpg Finding a decent drone quadcopter for a fair price isn't always easy since drones are so popular these days. On the one hand you have professional grade drones that are far too expensive to buy just for fun, and on the other hand you have cheap no-name quadcopters that fall apart within a month. Is there no happy medium? There is, and the Holy Stone U818A HD Plus Drone with Camera might be just what you're looking for.

Well it turns out that there is a way you can make yourself hallucinate without taking any illegal drugs. YouTube channel Scam School has put together a new video that explains how it's possible to make yourself hallucinate using something called the Ganzfeld effect whereby you put yourself in a state of sensory deprivation with the help of some very simple household items.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/413c3fdb8a0e3b4e46539ef9e4fa321e.jpg A few photos have surfaced online of a front panel matching the description and dimensions of the rumored Xiaomi Max smartphone. Is this a smartphone or tablet? The Xiaomi Max sports a super large 6.4-inch display, which is safe to say, a two-handed device. In the leaked shots that appear to be right off the production line, a person grips onto the massive device with one hand. The person’s hand barely reaches around the phone clearing indicating that this will be aimed at those wanting the largest smartphone available. Taking a look at the exterior, the Xiaomi Max features razor-t…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/26b16ab259ae4bb41e1c1c0b07e0bb3d.jpgOver the past few weeks, Apple and the FBI engaged in a prolonged and highly publicized battle that sought to find a balance between user privacy and the interests of national security. As you likely know by now, Apple, while having no objection to helping the FBI when it could, drew a line in the sand when asked to create an entirely new version of iOS capable of bypassing the iPhone's built-in security mechanisms. So while Apple had no problem handing the FBI information on its servers, pro-actively creating an entirely new OS was simply too much for Apple to bear. Apple's recent battle with…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e1aa2c556f8df238a08972c6bf0edd5a.jpgThere's been a running joke for years that Apple builds its devices to last just long enough to satisfy a warranty or a two-year contract before they inevitably start running into issues, forcing the user to upgrade. As the proud owner of a working iPhone 3GS and 2011 MacBook Air, I can attest that not every Apple device breaks after two or three years, but that doesn't mean that Apple expects you to hold on to your devices for much longer.

But not all wireless headphones are created equal. It's not easy to find headphones that offer stellar design and high-quality sound, in addition to long-lasting battery life that will carry you through several days in between charges.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d27ba08ea0846c63e0c9d0318917be38.jpg Unlike other mobile payments services, Samsung Pay has thrived since launching last year. The company’s own mobile payments service is supported by more merchants worldwide because of its ability to work with old and new terminals. Additionally, the company has offered big promotions for anyone who uses Samsung. Support and incentives are what has allowed Samsung Pay to be successful despite only working on Samsung’s phones. On Friday, Samsung rolled out a new promotion for anyone who has Samsung Pay but never used it. http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e4d250f772a5a42ca19…
