Verizon to start limiting video resolution on all plans
by Guest Jeff Causey- 0 replies
- 40 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

Latest tvOS beta points to new Apple TV with support for 4K streaming and HDR
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 47 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...

The tiny device shown in this leak could be the iPhone 8’s biggest game-changer
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 28 views
The iPhone 8 is going to be the first iPhone in three years to feature a new design, and Apple fans couldn't be more excited. The all-screen design... the OLED display... the glass and stainless steel construction... it all adds up to what will likely be the hottest iPhone Apple has ever made. Of course, Apple's tenth-anniversary smartphone will also ship with a slew of new features and capabilities, and rumor has it that one of them in particular will be the biggest game-changer we've seen on an iPhone in quite some time. Now, a new leaked photo might give us our first ever look at the device that makes this new feature possible. Continue reading... Trending right …

Verizon goes all in on video throttling, killing off 1080p on smartphones
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 45 views
Welcome to the new normal. On Tuesday morning, Verizon announced that it would be splitting its unlimited data plan into three new plans with some unfortunate caveats. Go Unlimited is the first plan, starting at $75 for a single line, but subscribers could experience reduced speeds any time the network is congested. Up next is the Beyond Unlimited plan, which starts at $85 and only reduces data speeds after the customer has exceeded 22GB. There's also a new Business Unlimited plan that will allow employers to buy unlimited data for as many employees as they want. But those aren't the reasons everyone is talking about Verizon this morning. Continue reading... Tren…

The world’s smallest iPhone charging cable fits on your key chain
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 25 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’…

Watch these forklift-riding thieves nab an entire ATM
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

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.

Shattering your phone's display on the pavement is a terrible feeling, but according to a recent study, you might have more to worry about than just the cost of replacing it. In a paper presented last week at a workshop in Vancouver, four researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel explained how broken screens are replace with aftermarket components of questionable origin -- components which could be tampered with in order to hijack the user's phone.

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...
