by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 28 views
There's mounting evidence that Apple's next-gen Apple TV will finally address a few of the longstanding concerns some have had regarding the company's venerable set-top box. While the current incarnation of the Apple TV certainly gets the job done, there's no getting around the fact that it costs markedly more than competing products. What's more, the current Apple TV has been widely criticized for not offering support for 4K streaming. Continue reading...

by Guest Jeff Causey- 0 replies
- 25 views
At the beginning of August, OpenSignal released results of their latest analysis of how the major carrier networks were performing. One of the key takeaways from that was the fact that Verizon and AT&T’s switch to unlimited plans earlier in the year was having a negative impact on their networks. For Verizon, it appears their […] Come comment on this article: Verizon to start limiting video resolution on all plans Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

The Galaxy S8 launched earlier this year featuring Samsung’s new assistant, Bixby, replacing the S Voice app that has been present on previous Galaxy S handsets.

Last night’s Game of Thrones episode 6 sure was something else. It brought us plenty of action, and an unexpected twist that most of us didn’t see coming — but we should have. That said, I’ve got one question about last night’s episode that I’ve meant to ask for a few days now. Before I do, mind you that major spoilers will follow below, so if you haven’t seen Beyond the Wall. Continue reading...

Watch these forklift-riding thieves nab an entire ATM
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 29 views
The greatest concern for most of us when it comes to visiting an ATM is remembering out PIN and making sure a skimmer isn't stealing our info, but they do things a little differently in Arkansas. Rather than scraping PINs or strong-arming visitors, some seriously ambitious thieves decided to just cut out the middleman and steal the entire box, and they brought the right equipment to pull it off.

The world’s smallest iPhone charging cable fits on your key chain
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 12 views
There’s nothing worse than being on the go and knowing that your iPhone battery is about to die. You watch in agony as that little orange battery icon turns red, and then your phone powers down before you know it. Portable phone chargers are great, but it’s not always convenient to carry a heavy battery around with you. Well, here’s another option: the inCharge Ultra Portable Charging Keychain is a Lightning cable that is so small you won’t even remember you’re carrying it until you need it. The cable itself is only about three inches long, and it features an awesome magnetic design that folds in half and can be held on a key chain when it’s not being used. At $13, there’…

In a ritualistic ceremony conducted while out of sight of the sun, Google officially named the eighth version of Android "Oreo" today.

Big changes are coming to Tesla software, Elon Musk reveals

One of the more remarkable and revolutionary features to come from Tesla was its introduction of over the air software updates for the Model S. Historically, once you drove a new car off the lot, the only way to enjoy new features or improve performance involved spending a significant amount of cash. Tesla's software updates, however, gave the company the magical ability to add new features and enhance the driving experience from afar. As a prime example, Tesla in 2015 rolled out a software update overnight that instantly gave thousands of Tesla vehicles a brand new Autopilot feature. Continue reading...
