There isn’t too much choice when it comes to choosing a smartphone processor, you either use the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon or you go with MediaTek if you can’t produce your own chips like Samsung, Huawei, and Apple. Unless you are Google, which means you can afford to hire an experienced chip architect such as Manu Gulati […] Come comment on this article: Google cherry picks former Apple chip designer to develop custom processors Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Here’s what’s inside the Xbox One X
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 21 views
As expected, Microsoft spent a good bit of time during its 2017 E3 showcase talking about how awesome its new Project Scorpio – sorry, Xbox One X — is. It's an extremely powerful console, and it carries a high price tag to match, but what exactly are you getting for your $500? As it turns out, Microsoft was pretty proud of what it packed inside the tiny black box, and provided E3 goers with a lovely exploded view of all the Xbox One X system components. Continue reading...

Russia’s hacking of the US presidential election was far worse than we thought
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 21 views
If you thought that Russian meddling into the US election "only" included hacking the Democrats, leaking information from those hacks, and targeting social media with fake news, then prepare to be shocked. A new report says that Russian hackers breached voting systems in 39 states well before the election. Their ultimate hope may have been altering results, although there’s absolutely no proof of that happening. But the Obama administration was so concerned with the attack that it reached out to Vladimir Putin using the “red phone” secure communication system between the two countries. Continue reading...

Best Buy reportedly plans to launch a rental service with used gadgets
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 22 views
After rebounding from what appeared to be certain doom just a few years ago, Best Buy is on the upswing as of late. Sure, they've shuttered a whole bunch of their stores, and continue to dip below Amazon in consumer mindshare, but the leaner, meaner company is feeling frisky, so it's planning to introduce a option that nobody really asked for: device rentals.

The iPhone vs Android debate may soon get a lot more interesting
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 26 views
The iPhone vs Android battle may eventually have an additional wrinkle to it. According to a new report from our sister-site Variety, Google recently hired Manu Galati, a longtime Apple engineer who spent eight years working on chip development for the iPhone, the iPad, and the Apple TV. According to Galati's LinkedIn Profile, he's now Google's lead SOC architect, a title which suggests that the search giant is more interested than ever before in developing and designing its own system on a chip. Notably, word of Google's interest in designing its own chips first surfaced back in late 2015. Continue reading... Trending right now: Leak: Galaxy Note 8 photo sugges…

Scientists discovered evidence that Jupiter is way older than anyone thought
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

Jupiter is one of the most interesting places in the Solar System for a number of reasons. It's massive ball of gas, covered in rolling storms, and it also happens to be the biggest planet in our neck of the woods. Now, an international team of researchers have reached a conclusion that supports the hypothesis that Jupiter is also the oldest planet in our system, and it's all about the gas. Continue reading...

Cox’s new ‘Panoramic Wi-Fi Router’ is everything wrong with cable companies
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 22 views
In a breathless press release this morning, Cox announced nationwide availability of its new Panoramic Wi-Fi Router. In theory, this should be a good thing: Cox's new magic internet box is the fastest and best Wi-Fi router the company has ever offered, which means more customers should now be getting faster and more consistent internet. But for some reason, Cox is still feeling the need to push the router on customers with a bunch of fake buzzwords and half-truths, ultimately trying to persuade customers who probably don't know better that they need to rent a substandard device for an obscene monthly price, or face the consequences.

by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

The Nest Cam is well-designed and very easy to set up and use, but it also costs a small fortune compared to comparable home security cameras.

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick to take leave of absence

Earlier today, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick informed employees that he plans to take a temporary leave of absence from the rides haring company he founded in 2009. While the main reason behind Kalanick's departure stems from a number of high-profile scandals involving the company and its executives -- including allegations that the company turned a blind eye to sexual harassment -- it's believed that the recent death of Kalanick's mother may have also prompted him to take some time off.

We had little Pixel 2 information until just a few days ago. We knew the internal fish codenames for Google’s next-gen smartphones, and we knew they will be as expensive as their predecessors when they hit stores this fall. But a recent leak offered some interesting details about the Pixel XL 2, suggesting the handset will have an all-screen design like the Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 8. Now, we learn that Google may have canceled the Pixel XL 2, but that’s not necessarily bad news. It’ll be replaced by something even bigger. Continue reading...
