http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a7cfba7b4a9fdfef3bb471824e689458.gif Just when you thought personal privacy was as dead as it could ever get, someone has devised a way to allow Snapchat's trendy new Spectacles to record you and everyone else without you realizing it. Hooray for innovation! One of the biggest cases against Google Glass was that you never knew when someone was actually recording you. Seeing someone with a camera on their face is weird enough as it is, but without being able to tell when and what they're capturing, it was an unsettling experience for anyone in the vicinity.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/58d3efb56ece36135edc38da045768a7.jpg Apple made a big deal out of the new cameras on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and for good reason. They're some of the best cameras ever put on a phone, as you'd expect, and in the right hands (with the right lighting!) they produce DSLR-level results. But along with the new camera hardware, Apple also made a bunch of changes to the software in iOS 10, and you don't need a brand-new iPhone to make use of the best change. Continue reading...

At least, we thought it was unbeatable until Amazon knocked off $100 in a special limited-time sale. That means for just $299, you can score yourself a full-featured 3D Printer that can compete with models that cost two, three, or even four times as much. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/db877df7ee623502ca287510febacbfa.jpg Nerds the world over were left weeping when Discovery's long-running Mythbusters franchise ended earlier this year. But as it's now accustomed to doing, Netflix has stepped into the void with a similar, less safe-for-work version of the science show. White Rabbit Project is legally the closest thing to Mythbusters that Netflix could pull off. The format of the show is nearly identical: there's myths and rumors that the team put to the test. The only real difference is the cast, as Jamie and Adam aren't returning. Instead, we get the Mythbusters build team of Tori, Grant and Kari goofing a…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2acf513a41c7efce89d3b98b7f9b3592.jpg It’s Star Wars month again, as we’re only 10 days away from Rogue One’s highly anticipated premiere. The first standalone Star Wars movie tells the story of how the rebels got a hold of the plans Luke used to destroy the Death Star in Episode IV, and the film seems quite promising, considering what we saw in the trailers and footage that Disney released so far. Early reviewers who were given access to 28 minutes of the movie seemed impressed, suggesting that Disney has a new Star Wars hit on its hands. On top of that, even George Lucas likes Rogue One.

It's a good, common-sense move, and a valuable tool for anyone who's ever read a description, downloaded the app, and then wondered if they're even using the same piece of software. But according to some developers, customers are abusing the refund policy to get free games, and Apple is turning a blind eye to the practice. Continue reading...

In late May, Silicon Valley giants agreed in a “Code of Conduct” to keep tackling illegal hate speech on their platforms. As part of that code of conduct, a goal was set of reviewing most notifications of illegal hate speech and dealing with them within 24 hours. According to a new report, set to be presented and discussed in Europe on Wednesday and Thursday, tech companies are only meeting that 24-hour goal 40 percent of…

Google has rushed its own version to market, Apple is said to be working on something similar, and now it looks like Microsoft is going to half-heartedly join the fray.

After that brutal premiere, we got a couple of okay episodes and then a couple of disappointing ones. The Walking Dead's episode 6 picked up the pace but only focused on Tara’s adventures. Maybe too much. Which makes episode 7, which aired last night, too crowded. It’s also an episode that could have been great, but AMC writers didn’t go for the kill. Beware, major spoilers follow.
