http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4af46b2840e0c7388332145086c68bb4.jpg We gave you a heads up on Thursday letting you know that Amazon had one more massive sales event planned for 2016, and now Digital Day is officially upon us. What is "Digital Day," you might ask? It's Amazon's big one-day sale on just about anything you can think of that's digital. You're looking at deep discounts on movies, TV shows, music downloads, video games, apps, eBooks and more. The sale offers up to 50% off of Amazon's already discounted prices, and we'll tell you everything you need to know about Digital Day right here in this post. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1a02d6457bb6e43eed5cd6fc1b3186c9.jpg In a post on Friday morning, I touched upon the increasingly common notion that iOS has gotten much more complex in recent years. Some users even believe that much of the platform's complexity comes at a cost, and that cost is a user experience that isn't as user-friendly as it once was. That's certainly open to debate and there are strong arguments on both sides of the fence, there are some things that are clear beyond a shadow of a doubt. Among them is the fact that iOS is packed so full of features and functionality that there's simply no way to remember everything. Don't worry, that's…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/79882ae0da997edc0cabe6a73f9a9f40.jpg If you fancy yourself a TV fan but aren't exactly keen on spending upwards of $100/month on cable, AT&T's new DirecTV Now service is certainly worth taking a look at. With an impressive channel lineup that includes stations like AMC, CNN, Comedy Central, ESPN, MTV, TNT and more, Ma Bell's new TV subscription service provides one of the most compelling TV deals available on the market today.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/02aa644ddbcb83876875970c9f8bedf3.jpg If you want all of the wireless advantages afforded by Apple's new W1 wireless chip but the AirPods are a little too weird for your taste, your options are pretty limited. In fact, you only have one option: Powerbeats3 Wireless In-Ear Headphones. These are traditional wireless earbuds and not truly wireless earphones like Apple's AirPods, but they actually sound a little better than the AirPods thanks to fuller bass. They're a bit pricey at $199.99, but a limited-time Amazon sale has chopped $50 off that steep price tag, making the Powerbeats3 just $149.99. These hot new earphones weren't ev…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/dffdeb908cc0c1a4e4300a601108775e.gif Florida is a wondrous land of palm trees, theme parks, beaches and exotic wildlife. It's also a place where elderly men go to car dealerships in the hopes of claiming prizes and then beat people with golf clubs when it turns out they didn't actually win anything. 83-year-old Linsey Owens is a perfect example of the latter, and his recent altercation with a Nissan dealership was captured on video for the entire world to see.

Qualcomm has been fighting to stay the course in a smartphone market that’s cooled down globally, and a new, very large fine from the South Korean antitrust regulator isn’t going to help things.

We’ve all been eagerly awaiting Lenovo to refresh the Moto X family of devices after spending 2016 promoting the Moto Z line.

2016 was a huge (and crazy) year for smartphones. We started off the year with truly premium handsets from Samsung — the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/90d70779c4b55443cb936114528908ab.jpg I still can't get over how much I like Apple's new AirPods. I also can't get over how ridiculous I look when I wear them. The off-putting look of Apple's new truly wireless earbuds will theoretically become less offensive as they proliferate — but they can only proliferate if Apple manages to improve supply so that people can actually buy them. Order your AirPods online on Apple's website and they might not ship until sometime in February, according to Apple's current delivery estimates. If you want them sooner than that, you'll need to swoop in as soon as your local Apple store gets a ne…

These malicious messages could crash the app, or even crash the iPhone.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/cd8152cea0690db2e4de28f28fee1e98.jpg Even Apple's harshest critics can generally agree that there are a few areas where Apple shines brighter than most companies. The first is customer service, which is one area where Apple is without question unrivaled. No other consumer electronics company in the world has a customer support staff in stores, on the phone and online that is as courteous and helpful as Apple's, and no other company has policies that are as pro-consumer. In fact, as terrific as Apple's policies are in general, Apple store reps often still bend the rules and go out of their way to make customers happy. Another…

President-elect Donald Trump might dispute that, especially when such reports also suggest that Russia’s intentions were to help him win the presidential election. After a security company proved there’s a link between the malware used against the DNC and cyber attacks against the Ukrainian army, a new report reveals the actual reason why the NSA knows whenever Russia hacks the US.
