http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/14f1d0f3393b5b958af3d5ecb204c9ea.jpgTwo weeks ago, AT&T signaled its plan to make inroads in the TV space via a new Internet-only subscription service dubbed DirecTV Now. Priced at just $35/month and boasting upwards of 100 channels, DirecTV Now offers an incredibly enticing value proposition for consumers who are angling to cut the cord but who aren't yet ready to survive solely on a diet consisting of Netflix and Hulu.

This is the first time any of the New 3DS models have dropped below $100, and brings the price of the full-featured portable closer than ever to the $79.99 Nintendo 2DS.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f0dd526894af6bfc5190cde2dc3d9586.jpgOne of the longstanding benefits of purchasing and owning a Tesla is that the company was more than happy to offer drivers free access to its increasingly expansive Supercharger network. Without question, Tesla's Supercharger network was a stroke of genius as it helped alleviate understandable concerns from drivers about running out of juice on long trips. These days, with thousands of Supercharger stations all across the globe, Tesla has effectively eliminated 'range anxiety' for most everyone. Tesla's Supercharger network worked impressively well back when Tesla was nothing more than a niche…

If there’s one thing John Legere is good at, it’s antagonizing every other carrier in the wireless industry. He’s gone after all three of the big players before (multiple times) and his latest rant is again aimed at Verizon. He starts out by calling out Verizon’s latest quarterly results, which saw the carrier lose 36,000 […] Come comment on this article: John Legere’s latest Verizon rant doesn’t pull any punches Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4d7c87b16d7fdb185bc2c4539067ece0._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/3158d1b86f8ddb53b54df0301fb4fab0.jpegNobody particularly enjoys the process of traveling, but a nicely designed airport can often elevate an otherwise frustrating experience into an enjoyable trip. Whether it be absurdly long lines or a ridiculously meager selection of food, one doesn't have to dive deep in order to come up with a list of airport grievances. That said, if you happen to be planning a trip sometime soon and have some flexibility in what airport you'll be flying out of or into, a recent post from The Points Guy detailing the best and worst U.S. airports is certainly worth checking out.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c043a71fe5dc226873b31ded11c993b9.jpgOver the last few years, there's no denying that Siri has improved by leaps and bounds. While Apple's intelligent personal assistant was easy to make fun of a few years back, Apple has devoted a lot of R&D resources towards expanding Siri's skill-set while also making it much more reliable. Siri still isn't perfect and, to be fair, it still has some serious competition from the likes of Google and Amazon. Nonetheless, Apple has been upfront about how seriously it takes AI and, as a result, we can expect to see some exciting new Siri improvements in the years ahead, perhaps as early as next…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/24c406254991d0ac6727505c925490aa.jpgGather round children, for I have a tale of two analytics companies. One says that smartwatch shipments plummeted by over 50 percent last year, while the other claims that sales are up by 60 percent in the same time period. All is not well in the land of spreadsheets. Last week, an IDC report claimed that smartwatch shipments had gone down by 50 percent over the last year. A lot of the drop in shipments was due to a 70 percent decrease in Apple Watch sales, likely due to the impending Apple Watch 2 announcement. But in a report issued this week, rival firm Canalys has Apple's market share up, …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f356c17652904a5cd3e38345d2a3d85a.jpgWhen Apple released the iPhone SE this past March, it marked a long overdue admission that a good number of iPhone users simply prefer a smaller 4-inch form factor. For many, Apple's 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone models are simply too unwieldy for everyday use. To its credit, Apple didn't do anything to hinder the iPhone SE or dissuade users from buying it. Aside from the lack of 3D Touch, the iPhone SE at launch was essentially the same device as the then-current iPhone 6s, albeit in a smaller form factor.

In the case of a cable modem, buying your own instead of renting one from your ISP means saving $10 every single month in modem rental fees. And in the case of dash cams, it means the difference between proving your innocence in the event of an accident, or paying thousands over the course of the next few years in insurance premiums... and that's on top of your deductible.

The full moon on November 14 will look like an extra-bright spotlight in the sky— that’s because it will be a notable “supermoon” that won’t be this close to Earth again for another 18 years.

The interview where he lashes out against that expensive iPhone comes up time and again, proving that Microsoft failed to realize the potential of the mobile business. Since then, Microsoft tried to no avail to morph its Windows Mobile business into something that could compete against the iPhone and Android. The company failed miserably.
