http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/3c5cff8d6be2d781e4964b53a3dec450.jpg During the company’s keynote held on March 21, Apple unveiled new hardware including the iPhone SE and iPad Pro 9.7. There’s just something off about that new iPad Pro. The smaller iPad Pro 9.7 combines the portability and lightweight of the iPad Air 2 with the fastest hardware internals and features of the iPad Pro that launched last year. http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e6ee86a92501096659b17a8522d27d89.jpg Updated hardware specs aren’t the only upgrades Apple brought to the new iPad Pro.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/24aacbe62bc5d3a2a1b34ff468e947b4.jpgTwitter has flicked the switch on a new feature today that makes it simple to quickly and privately share Tweets to your friends. Starting today, Tweets have an extra message shortcut on them. Tapping this button will prompt you to share that Tweet with someone directly through a Direct Message. Last year, Twitter has seen private messaging grow rapidly along with people sharing Tweets privately. Feedback has been asking for a way to do this quicker and easier, so that’s what this new feature addresses. The update is live on the Play Store, so if you want to get started simply update you…

Bubba Watson emojis are live on the Play Store

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/89b6660e04a40b841bb3b72761d4322f.pngThere’s an emoji for everything, and professional golf players are not the exception to that rule. A new app has popped up on the Play Store called Bubbamoji, which offers several emojis of two-time Masters Champion Bubba Watson. Why is this a thing? I have no idea. Apparently there’s enough demand to support custom emojis of a professional golfer in the world, and someone is trying to meet that demand. This isn’t a half-baked job, either, as there are hundreds of emojis and stickers in this app, plus a meme maker, videos, and GIFs. The app is two bucks, so if you need some golf emojis t…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2169c216cf904b72153b43b6b43f835f.jpgThere's something brewing over at Nest and it ain't pretty. Though once one of Google's more promising acquisitions, the company that helped put a friendly face on devices like thermostats and smoke alarms has reportedly lost its way. Not only has the company been unable to come up with any new type of innovative hardware, recent reports indicate that the Alphabet subsidiary is practically bleeding money while continuing to lose key talent.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/24dee687cd7a0cafc9fa65486b83649c.jpgThe 12-inch Retina MacBook represents the pinnacle of Apple's laptop design and engineering, a device that’s already been cloned by many competitors. Apple is rumored to launch 13-inch and 15-inch MacBooks later this year, but until that happens, HP wants to impress you with a new notebook that's a worthy rival for Apple's best looking PC yet. The newly launched Spectre is a 13.3-inch laptop that HP says is the thinnest in the world. It brings over a bold new HP logo, what looks like amazing design, and promises solid performance. The price? About what a MacBook costs. (more…)http://androi…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1bdbc29c8b0d26bdbad79b7458918fed.pngA star was born last week when an animated version of Donald Trump debuted on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Although the concept doesn't need much explanation, but here's an abridged one: Trump's comments have become so outlandish that he's turned into a "cartoonish version of himself," according to Colbert. So they turned him into a cartoon character. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7d751bb7b940d4addfbf50b27e1dba9b._.gif Via BRG - Boy Genius Report

This gorgeous LED TV set has a 4.2-star rating with more than 550 customer reviews, and it includes all of the smart features you want in a flat-panel from Samsung. Well, we have good news and bad news. The bad news is that it'll be quite some time before we see a price that low on this sweet TV from Samsung. But the good news is that although the discount isn't quite so deep this time, the Samsung UN55JU6500 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2015 Model) is back on sale until the end of th…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bb01b044488fa139f19cc622d04a28af.png Samsung introduced its new flagship for the year not too long ago: the Galaxy S7. It’s no secret that everyone and their uncle wants one. In fact, units are flying off the shelf, and it’s quite possible that Samsung could beat all previous sales records. That aside, there’s one fact we can all agree on: the Galaxy S7 is expensive. Many will buy carrier insurance in order to avoid any risk if something were to happen to their device; however, the best insurance you can get for your smartphone is actually a case. There are a lot of benefits to having a case. The first being that it could …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c7785f68b61157dd44d7acc238baca1a.jpgThis weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live was one of the best of the season. Not only did the episode's many sketches feature a wide variety of different comedic styles, it also provided host Peter Dinklage with the opportunity showcase a bit of his acting range. Whether he was playing a stuffy boss at a magic show, Winnie the Pooh, or even a lounge singer singing about his "space pants", it was nice to see Dinklage's full range of acting chops on full display. But who are we kidding? Most everyone who tuned in to watch SNL this weekend was hoping for at least one sketch featuring Dinklage…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a2c37f24d692c3ea06fa6cdd17869fd9.jpgApple's recently released iPhone SE was supposed to be Apple's saving grace, a mid-year release designed to help keep iPhone sales somewhat afloat ahead of the iPhone 7. Packed with the same advanced features as the iPhone 6s and affordably priced, it was widely assumed that the iPhone SE would get off to a strong start following its debut on store shelves this past Thursday. Now it's no secret that Apple, whenever it records impressive sales figures, likes to put out a press release boasting of how consumers simply can't get enough of the company's latest and greatest product.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f5f821cc87aa03692d4c9986fd494c59.pngEarly demand for the Tesla Model 3 is unprecedented, as the company has already received close to 300,000 reservations for a car that won't be available to drive for at least a couple of years. Given this, you may be wondering why so many people have decided to shell out $1,000 for something they won't get to enjoy for a long time.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9f65673702be787fc08f55516d30d36e.jpgThe LG G5 is being billed as a premium smartphone but its metal rear casing seems to be vulnerable to scratching. YouTube channel , which showed us last year how easy it is to bend the Nexus 6P, put the LG G5 through the same standard durability tests other handsets were subjected to before it. It seems that even though the G5 has a metal rear shell, it's covered by a primer that is fairly easy to scratch.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ba92aee712c8272567091d26652d9b3d.jpg Wireless speakers are a dime a dozen these days, but every once in a while we come across something that separates itself from the pack. Sometimes it does so with a novel design and sometimes with high-quality sound. On rare occasions you come across a speaker that checks both boxes, and such is the case with the Samsung Electronics WAM7500/ZA WAM7500 1.0 Channel Wireless Speaker, which is now on sale for under $400.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/3feaf4743dcf6511045406f2bc51474d.jpgExcited for HTC’s next announcement on April 12th? Don’t worry, that’s still happening. However, it looks like we might get more than just the HTC 10 during that online-only unveiling. HTC is reportedly preparing to release a new Desire phone along with the HTC 10 this month, which is said to come in a single-SIM and dual-SIM version. It’s currently codenamed A56, but we’ll likely see it pick up a traditional Desire moniker when it’s officially announced. No word on specs or anything, but it’s a pretty safe bet that it won’t be an extremely high-end phone. The Desire line typically tackl…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/5c5039de4d6574e4c92917d31e33848e.jpg When you think of hackers, you could be forgiven for believing that all hackers are attempting to steal your identity, or perhaps trying to crack the launch codes for nuclear missiles. On the flip side of the coin, are the white hat hackers that perform tasks such as threat modeling, ethical hacking, and testing for web-based vulnerabilities, basically trying to find the exploits before the bad guys do.
