http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1ed1ad84475d458290a612066a096010.jpg Apple yesterday made a surprise announcement when it revealed that its new AirPods were finally available for purchase. Originally introduced more than two months ago, Apple's new earbuds were supposed to hit store shelves by late October. That launch date, however, was continuously pushed back as Apple curiously needed a few more weeks to address a few technical problems. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/484b7f383c7b25fb24d64079188ae3e8.jpg Camera quality is one of the biggest differences between smartphones these days. Sure, if you spend $600 on a phone, it's going to take half-decent photos. But the gap between the best and the worst smartphones -- and big, dedicated DSLRs -- is still very much existent. Techradar decided to run a side-by-side comparison between the iPhone 7, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S7, LG G5, HTC 10 and Sony Xperia ZX. A Nikon D800E was also used as an unfair benchmark for all phones to aspire to. Continue reading... Trending right now: Upset VW owners are stripping their buyback cars to th…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1a5998a2a8b5d5b78aafa60d8dd67245.jpg Some 4 percent of Americans have been victims of revenge porn, according to a report released Tuesday by the Data & Society Research Institute and the Center for Innovative Public Health Research. Revenge porn is described as displaying nude or nearly nude photos or videos of someone without their consent. The report is the first of its kind, and is based on research conducted by Princeton Survey Research International from May 17 to July 31 of this year. The survey gathered answers from 3,002 American Internet users ages 15 and up. Continue reading... Trending right now: Th…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2acf513a41c7efce89d3b98b7f9b3592.jpg I’m as excited as every other Star Wars fan out there to see Rogue One, Disney’s first bold Star Wars move. We’re looking at a standalone movie that will have no sequels, and which tells a story meant to bridge together the first two trilogies. And I hope it won’t have the happy end we’re used to seeing in Hollywood creations. I hope that everyone dies in the end, even the new droid that’s going to steal our hearts and make us laugh in the process. Continue reading...

The company is pushing hard to make universal play between the console and PC a regular thing, and it's also extending its efforts to apps.

Some particularly disgruntled VW customers have taken the somewhat odd but totally understandable step of completely stripping their diesel cars before handing them back over to Volkswagen for the agreed upon settlement.

Google launched the Pixel in October to mixed feelings about the phone. Many weren’t sure what to think about it while others loved it.

Google’s plan for messaging on Android has been convoluted for years, but their latest push has been for RCS in standard messaging applications.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/685a291198f0f5e4d8453eebeae49003.jpg Black Friday brought some killer Amazon deals with it last month, and some of the best bargains on the site covered Amazon’s own hardware products. While the Fire phone fizzled out immediately following its launch, Amazon has more than redeemed itself with a thriving line of speakers fueled by the company’s virtual personal assistant, Alexa. Well guess what: with the holidays fast approaching, Black Friday prices are back for the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Tap, and more. These deep discounts are available beginning immediately, and they’ll remain on the site until the end of the day on December …

Sure, they have received updates that make them even more appealing, but the PS4 and the Xbox One are still the undisputed kings of the console gaming universe. This year they’re better and cheaper than ever. Sony and Microsoft slashed the prices for the PS4 and Xbox One S for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Green Monday.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ca9ff3f83b7b74bd3b4749fa737bc7d9.png Some people really go all-out when it comes to holiday lighting. They aren't satisfied with a few strings of lights here and there, and maybe a goofy Santa in their yard; they really need to show the neighborhood that they have more holiday spirit than everyone else, electric bills and light pollution be damned. If you live next to one of those people, it can be difficult to compete, but some folks in similar situations have found a way to win, and with as little effort as humanly possible.
