http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d486b11a8877daa9d8a4a4fc82806953.gif There are countless games on the App Store that will make you feel inferior to a computer-controlled opponent. Almost all of those apps will beat you with in a virtual game world where your digital enemies have the advantage, but there's one that brings its butt-kicking skills into reality, just for that extra bit of humiliation. It's the Air Hockey Robot EVO app by JJRobots, and it works in tandem with an open source, do-it-yourself robot that is so good at blocking shots you'll feel like you're playing against an air hockey master.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ab8956c6e4bd8a6140626c256ec74aba.jpg As with any new platform, virtual reality struggled early on with a lack of enjoyable content. It's a "chicken or the egg" scenario, where content creators won't create the media unless people buy the headsets, and customers won't buy the headsets until there is enough content to make it worth their while. Anyone who was waiting to jump head first into PlayStation VR now has over 150 new reasons to consider becoming an early adopter, as VR streaming app Jaunt is now available for the PlayStation 4.

The company's Give Back Box program is in full effect right now, and you can ship off your unwanted items — whether they're gifts you didn't ask for or just stuff you no longer need — to Goodwill for absolutely free, courtesy of Amazon.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bc8af8255f82f0044cb758f2b4d0241b.jpg If there’s only thing that’s true of Christmas (and Hanukkah) every single year, it’s this: you always seem to give people MUCH cooler gifts than you get from other people. Seriously, heaven forbid anyone take 2 seconds to glance at your Amazon wish list, right? That’s okay, giving gifts is way more fun than receiving them anyway, and you can always use some of the cash you scored on Christmas to buy yourself a treat or two. You know, a present to yourself for having survived yet another stressful holiday season. In this post, we’ve got 10 awesome suggestions for gadgets you can buy yours…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7eab4083e4ebb8e3bd94a696265638c1.jpg When Steve Jobs decided that Apple should go ahead and build its own branded smartphone, he entrusted his trusty lieutenant Scott Forstall to assemble a team of Apple's best and most ambitious engineers to develop what would ultimately be known as iOS. That Jobs was quick to give Forstall so much responsibility wasn't much of a surprise. Throughout the early-mid 2000s, Forstall played an increasingly important role in spearheading successive versions of OS X. What's more, Forstall already had a strong working relationship with Jobs stemming from their time together at NeXT. Continue readi…

Christmas has indeed come and gone but killer deals remain, and Amazon is really turning up the heat to close out the year strong. Highlights from today's list of Amazon's top daily deals include the return of everyone's favorite sale on the Steam Controller and Steam Link, Black Friday pricing on the Roku Streaming Stick, a ridiculously well-rated 65-inch Samsung 4K TV for under $1,000, clear cases for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, a gigabit router for $60, $55 off an awesome mechanical keyboard with multi-colo…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ea56758fcdf34034ceb108c954fed321.png Last week, Niantic shared details about two overlapping holiday events for Pokemon Go. The first began on December 25th and gave trainers increased odds of hatching Generation 2 Pokemon from eggs. The second begins on December 30th and boosts the spawn rate of Generation 1 starters like Charmander. The first event kicked off on Christmas Day, but along with the Generation 2 infusion, Niantic also snuck limited-time item packs on to the store at a discounted rate (just in time for all those iTunes gift cards).

A few years ago, an Australian fellow who goes by the name of "Streaming Andrew" embarked on an important scientific journey with the goal of forever changing the way we view the universe. In this ground-breaking experiment, Andrew started running the stopwatch on his iPod, and he didn't stop. Minutes became hours, hour became days, days became weeks, weeks became months, and months become a year. But he didn't stop at 365 days. After all, what would the point of that be? Instead, Andrew wanted to see what wou…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/dd07bfbb0fd96427d34870ecb0daf83e.jpg It's no secret that the linchpin in Tesla's ambitious plan to manufacture more than 500,000 cars per year by 2018 is the company's Gigafactory, an absolutely enormous factory that's still under construction in Sparks, Nevada. The primary task of the Gigafactory will be to churn out batteries at an impressive clip, and while construction will not be 100% complete for a few more years, the Gigafactory is already partially operational.

In what will ultimately be a trilogy of sequels (which themselves are prequels to the 1979 original), Scott explained at a press conference last year that the planned trio films will address the "very basic questions posed in Alien: why the alien, who might have made it and where did it come from?” Continue reading...

This move from Tesla was nothing short of brilliant as it addressed previously valid concerns that the Model S wasn't an ideal car for road trips and perhaps even for long commutes.

It can also be a stressful mess of errands, debt, and a reminder of why you don't associate with those people the other 364 days of the year. If you're feeling a bit more like the latter, watching this cheerful Swedish guy blow a Christmas tree into a million tiny smoking pieces is a two-minute vacation you should take right now.

You’ve been a loyal customer for years, and you never really thought much about trying a new platform. But what if we told you there’s another platform out there that’s even better than either Windows or Mac for most common things like browsing the web, streaming media and light work? Google’s Chrome OS is faster, lighter weight and devices that run it are generally far more affordable than Windows or Mac computers. For example, check out the Acer Chromebook CB3-131-C3SZ, which costs less…
