Android One is the name of a Google’s program for selling low-cost phones in emerging markets. US can hardly be called one, but I imagine there are people in need of cheap phones everywhere. According to The Information, Android One phones are to hit the US market somewhere mid-year, and will include phones that cost two to three hundred dollars. These, again, do not sound like an emerging market prices, but, again, this is US we are talking about. Unfortunately, we do not know the exact models included in the program.Sim-unlock.net is a system that offers unlocking sim locks of any ...

The name of the solution is triphenyl phosphate. Placed between the cathode and anode placed in the phone’s battery, the chemical compound is to react to the rising temperature of the device and put the fire out miliseconds after it starts.

It is unknown when exacly will triphenyl phosphate enter smartphone’s mass production.Sim-unlock.net is a system that offers unlocking sim locks of any phone model. We ...

We all enjoy taking selfies, because what is more pleasing than looking at oneself. Watch out, though, when making a V (Victory) sign with your fingers. According to one professor IsaoEchizen from the National Japanese Institute of Computer Sciences, the quality of today’s cameras often allow people to ”borrow” other’s fingerprint scans just from aphotography. The abovementioned gesture is very popular in Japan. Professor Echizen does not only warn us, though – a team of Japanese scientists is already working on a way to mask the fingerprints on screen.If you ...

Weapon’s cost is $395, which makes it, as many people note, cheaper than an actual iPhone.Nifty idea or a sick money grab that will cost lives? What do you ...

All of us would sometimes want to have a private phone conversation when in public, but, well, we are in public – we cannot really talk about family matters, health or that really good joke about Jews without risking someone eavesdropping on us. No more!, or, at least, no more once we buy ourselves Hushme. This, I suppose, electronic muzzle muffles its user’s voice, making it inaudible for anyone in the vicinity. The device is worn around the mouth, connects to the corresponding smartphone app and makes you look like a techster Bane – speaking of which, it will come with a ...

I will not discover America by saying that Facebook apps are not making life easy for our smartphones. They require a considerable processing power and eat through power reserves fast. For those of you who use Messenger, I have bad news. Ever since yesterday update, FB apps’ requirements have raised dangerously high, causing some people’s phones to slow down and overheat. Reinstalling the apps help in some cases but not all. If you are using Messenger and your phone suddenly starts to choke and burn, you might consider uninstalling the app.Sim-unlock.net is a system that offers ...
