Reports of Google Wifi problems are on the rise — the light on it is stuck blue and has stopped working.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t a problem with everyone; however, there are a significant […] Come comment on this article: Some Google Wifi units have stopped working with new software build Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Google buckles under pressure from Russia, will open Android to other search engines
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 27 views
Android, often seen as the much more open and flexible mobile operating system alternative to Apple's notoriously strict iOS, is now being forced to open up even more, at least in Russia. A lengthy battle between Google and Russian anti-competition watchdog group FAS began two years ago has finally culminated in Google relenting. The company will loosen restrictions on Android's built-in search engines to allow for Russian competitors a share of the pie. Continue reading...

The next update could make the Apple TV even better
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 22 views
The fourth-gen release of the Apple TV in 2015 was unquestionably a solid upgrade, but the device didn't exactly shake up the industry. Despite support for an App Store, a brand new Siri-based remote and a handful of other features, the Apple TV 4 was far from the revolutionary set-top box Apple presumably assumed it would be at launch. Of course, not helping matters was that the device didn't ship with an accompanying TV streaming service, as was previously rumored. But as Tim Cook said of the Apple TV a few years ago, Apple will keep on "pulling the string and see where it takes" them. The more recent rumor involving the Apple TV comes from the Hebrew-language site T…

There’s still nothing that protects your iPhone as well as these OtterBox cases
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 22 views
When it comes to iPhone cases, there are generally two schools of thought. Minimalists tend to go with something slim and sleek to add some grip and guard against scratches, but there’s one glaring problem here. If you drop your iPhone with a slim case like the Tozo case, it’s done for. If you want real protection for your precious iPhone, you need a real protective case — and nothing else out there protects like an OtterBox. Below, you’ll find links to Commuter and Defender cases for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, as well as for the iPhone 6/6s and iPhone 6/6s Plus. Don’t worry, you can thank us later when you drop your iPhone down the stairs and it emerges without a…

Phone are getting more fragile as time goes on, and that’s most definitely the case with the LG’s new flagship, the G6. With its glass structure, dropping this handset on the ground from ear-level could prove to be catastrophic.

NASA astronaut’s space treasure map sparks hunt for Caribbean wrecks
by Guest FoxNews.com- 0 replies

Astronaut Gordon Cooper was a born explorer. He broke countless NASA space flight records, like the longest single-man space flight, a 122-hour mission. But one of his greatest achievements may not have been unveiled if it wasn’t for his willingness to share a secret he had kept for more than 40 years. During his time in space, Cooper made an incredible discovery — anomalies he believed were shipwrecks. He meticulously noted them and created what some are calling a treasure map from space.

Supplying screens for the iPhone 8 is an offer LG and Samsung just can’t refuse
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

Reports last week said that Google wants to invest almost $1 billion in LG Display’s OLED manufacturing plants to secure OLED displays for the Pixel 2 series, although the two parties did not sign an agreement. New reports from Korea claim that LG is eyeing a bigger opportunity for next year: Apple’s iPhone 8. The company is expected to confirm during a board meeting in June that it’ll provide OLED displays for the iPhone 8 next year. That doesn’t mean the Pixel 2 deal isn’t on the table, just that the iPhone seems to be the kind of opportunity LG can’t refuse. Continue reading...

T-Mobile got an amazing deal on its $8 billion spectrum haul
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 29 views
Last week, the results of a hugely important Federal Communications Commission auction came out. The Commission was selling the rights to use re-purposed TV spectrum to wireless carriers, and T-Mobile spent $8 billion to buy far more spectrum than anyone else. The spectrum being auctioned is particularly valuable low-band airwaves that work better in rural areas and indoors -- two areas that T-Mobile has struggled with, compared to Verizon, which has long held the licenses to a large amount of low-band spectrum.

Here’s what the driverless semi trucks of the future will look like

While Google, Ford, Apple, and others slug it out to see who the future king of driverless transportation will be, shipping companies are patiently waiting for their own revolution. Einride is one of the companies that thinks it might have an answer, at least when it comes to replacing modern semi trucks with a greener, and potentially even safer solution that a traditional driver.

Fresh United horror: ice-cream sundaes stopped after passenger served bowl of glass
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

Following a week of record-bad PR, BGR can reveal that United and its passengers are facing a new kind of horror: the stopping of United's signature ice-cream sundaes. The classic dessert has been taken off United flights following an incident that saw a passenger served a sundae containing glass. First-class passengers are now facing the horror of eating pre-packaged ice cream containers on flights while United works on the situation. No first-class passengers could be reached for comment on how they're handling the taste of a cardboard container. However, it appears that United's re-accommodation of this situation has not yet caused any facial fractures. Continue …

Amazon dropped 11 HP computers to their lowest prices ever for one day only

HP had a rough couple of years, no doubt, but the company has really picked things up recently in terms of both focus and product quality. What's more, HP has also put some serious effort into upping the value of its lower-cost PC lineup, offering performance typically associated with much more expensive devices. Of course, there's always a little wiggle room in those prices, right? Amazon has a big one-day sale going on HP laptops and desktops. And we're not just taking about two or three different units here. There are 11 different computers included in today's sale, and they're all being offered at their lowest price ever for one day only. You'll find them all liste…
