‘s may be trying to remedy that. First discovered by Geek.com, all new phones that use Mobile Services are now required to display a “wered by Android” logo on the boot-up screen. It’s ‘s attempt to make sure everyone understs that, under all the fancy gimmicks, that Galaxy S5 HTC One G2 all run the same operating system. So what’s Mobile Services? In short, it’s “the full Android experience.” A manufacturer can build a phone using Android Open Source oject (AOS, but it won’t come with the ay store, Maps, +, Hangouts, etc....

A few weeks ago, we covered a major threat identified by Microsoft and its developers that affects a number of previous editions of Windows. This vulnerability takes control of the Remote Desktop Client feature, which would give hackers carte blanche to access your files and personal data. Based on the scope of the issue, this new threat could rival WannaCry in the sheer amount of damage it can cause, as well as its ability to spread and affect other computers in a network....

Besides, the company has also faced criticism from the PC community for causing confusion about the upcoming graphic card’s two different variants. Nvidia Is Only Launching RTX 4080 With 16GB In September, Nvidia introduced the new GeForce RTX 40-series with two prominent GPUs: Geforce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080, but it was less notable that the company announced two variants for the RTX 4080 GPU. One with 16GB RAM and the other with 12GB RAM, which is supposed to be less potent as the 16GB RAM variant has 2,048 more CUDA cores than the 12GB RAM variant....

This small device which can be worn around the neck like a pendant consists of inexpensive, off-the-shelf hardware.

Let us first jump into this amazing video. Make sure you watch it till the end. Video is courtesy TEDIndia....

Remember when the Greek website Techblog (worst name ever, I know) said that the LG G2 would have a 5.2 inch screen last week? Looks like they were right, because LG just announced a new 5.2 inch 1080p LCD in Korea today. What makes this LCD better than previous LCDs? It’s crazy thin. We’re talking 2.2 millimeters thin. It’s also rated at 535 nits, meaning it’s stupid bright. For the sake of comparison, AnandTech measured the iPhone 5 as having 562 nits....

Design and Installation Arc Touch Mouse is made of a flexible rubbery material with a wonderful grippy finish. When you open the package, you would find the mouse which resembles a slab of plastic and nothing like a typical mouse you know of.

In this piece, I want to share some lessons learnt about how a government organization planned for the fallout when its mobile technology security did not work to plan. I’m writing a short series for InfoSec Review about my experiences while working as an IA security professional for the British government. Some mystique remains about the workings of any government. There is still an assumption that they must have different (and better) ways of doing things....

But not all manufacturers “lie” about the autonomy of their PCs. The tech giant Apple is one of them. Let us know some results. Autonomy tests were done by Which site, which evaluated the autonomy of 64 models of portable PCs, since January 2016, and compared with the manufacturer’s own information. According to the results, there are laptops whose real autonomy differs a lot from what has been announced (in several hours)....

But those are not the only people who will be paying more for monthly streaming. Back in January, Netflix announced across-the-board price increases were coming. New users immediately paid the increased prices, while existing members waited for their subscriptions to renew. Increased prices are now rolling out for every Netflix subscriber.

Following the renders of the LG G6 leaking yesterday, @Onleaks has now posted renders of the handset based on its CAD data. The renders give us a clear look at the design of the G6, which clearly seems to be based on the G5. The renders show LG retaining the dual camera setup on the G6, with the fingerprint sensor located below it. However, the fingerprint sensor lacks a hump this time around despite the power button being integrated into it....

Unfortunately, early adopters of the Pixel 4 discovered a software flaw during Google’s demonstration. The facial recognition engine of the Pixel 4 is missing a critical security feature found on competitors like the iPhone. Without this security measure, anyone with physical access to the device has a shot at unlocking it, as long as you’re nearby and unaware. If you’re thinking about picking up the Google Pixel 4 as your next handset, here’s why you might want to wait for the phone to get its first security patch....

The option for recording calls on Truecaller needs to be enabled inside the settings. There’s a new “Call Recording” menu which lets you turn the feature on and even specify whether you’d like to manually begin the tapping for each call. The recordings can be found through a new option in the navigation bar located on the left edge. Sadly, though, call recording is part of the company’s Premium subscription....

On its Kickstarter page, Nextbit wrote: Nextbit is likely prioritizing the GSM variant of the Robin because it’s more widely used worldwide, because they started on that version first. The GSM variant will ship beginning February 16 to the first 1,000 backers, then to everyone else who pre-ordered the device. The CDMA Robin wasn’t in development until we saw your response on Kickstarter, we got a little carried away in the excitement of the campaign....

Throughout 2014, there have been repeated rumors that the Nexus program was being killed off due to another program, dubbed Android Silver, being introduced in its place. That was recently debunked, so now all eyes are out for any references to Nexus-branded devices all over again. That includes what is being called the Nexus 8, the rumored successor to the Nexus 7. In a report originally published by Phandroid, a database entry could lend some credence to the possibility of the Nexus 8’s existence....
