Mobile phones to predict earthquakes? Researchers have an idea
4/12/2015 10:06:00 PM

One of the hardest natural disasters to prepare for, and predict, are earthquakes. Technology exists that can help predict when earthquakes might occur, but they are very expensive to build out and maintain.

However, a group of scientists published a report that believe the technology contained in our smartphones is enough to develop an ad hoc, crowdsourced, earthquake early warning system.

At first glance, the idea makes perfect sense, as our smartphones already have just about everything needed to provide data needed for a central system to analyze: GPS, accelerometer, and data ...

Here's how major cell phone companies' logos evolved through the years
4/12/2015 9:12:00 PM

Pop quiz: what are the factors that make a brand commercially successful? Brand awareness is definitely near the top of the list – make the name of your business or product stick in people's minds and get ready for an early retirement. For this to happen, a well-designed logo helps a lot. Speaking of which, do you know what the older logos of major tech companies and cellular carriers looked like? Nobody is going to snigger if you don't – these businesses have been around for many decades, and their logos have changed quite a bit since then, as you're about to see.

Samsung Galaxy S6 gets run over by a Tesla Model S in extreme durability test
4/12/2015 9:04:00 PM

We've seen the Samsung Galaxy S6 dropped from a height of 10 feet, landing smack right on the glass. We've seen the recently released handset also fall from a professional drop machine and stop working after a particularly bad impact. Other tests dropped the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, used it as a walnut cracker, and tested its ability to resist water.

Those are pedestrian tests compared to a new one that was posted today on YouTube. In this test, Sammy's flagship handset is run over by a Tesla Model S. The 2014 model weighs a rather hefty 4647 pounds.

After you stop cringing, take a ...

 

Check out this functional and convenient Bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone 6 Plus
4/12/2015 8:24:00 PM

The iPhone 6 Plus is being attributed to folks using their Apple tablets a bit less. The most obvious casualty, the iPad mini, while having a screen size that is better than 2-inches larger, is simply less portable than a smartphone.

Small tablets are nice to have if you are working with a lot of messaging, documents or email. The iPhone 6 Plus is well suited to the task as well with its beautiful 5.5-inch display.

It is not a difficult task to pair a Bluetooth keyboard to any modern smart device, but few keyboards prove to be a portable as the smartphones they are used with. If you ...

 

John Legere takes on The Donald after Trump dumps on T-Mobile's service
4/12/2015 7:32:00 PM

Two of the most outspoken executives in the U.S. are entwined in a battle that is being made public because of the forum that they have decided to use to have this fight. Actually, Donald Trump took the first swing by sending a text to John Legere, complaining about T-Mobile's service. The message from Trump read, "T-Mobile service is terrible! Why can't you do something to improve it for your customers. I don't want it in my buildings."

Now here is an amazing coincidence. When Legere received the tweet, he was staying in a room at one of Trump's hotels. After informing Trump that he planned ...

 

Compact smartphones with the best cameras
4/12/2015 5:59:00 PM


In the past few years, smartphone ODMs have made significant strides in the field of mobile photography. Sure, one could argue that a handset's camera is still not up to par with professional cameras, but surely that is understandable when we take the physical size and limitations that a smartphone has to work with (though, you can sometimes hear the oddball news of a pro photographer who has left the DSLR at home and is working solely with their iPhone). However, it is a non-arguable fact that upper tier phones have been able to deliver a very competent imagery for consumer ...

 

Why Apple's timepiece is not called the Apple iWatch
4/12/2015 5:58:00 PM

When speculation first surfaced about an Apple built smartwatch, it was thought that the device would be called the Apple iWatch. In light of other products like the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad and Apple iPod, the iWatch moniker seemed to be a no brainer. Even right up to the very day that Apple first unveiled the device, it was considered a foregone conclusion that the product would be called the iWatch.

So it was a big surprise when Apple unveiled the Apple Watch last September. As it turns out, the reason why Apple could not use the iWatch name is that OMG Electronics had applied for the ...

 

Wish you could handle multiple SIM cards in your single-SIM device? There is SIMore
4/12/2015 4:48:00 PM

The need for a multi-SIM capable device is virtually non-existent in the United States. It is however, a very real consideration in other parts of the world, where rates, coverages, and other features do not necessarily overlap.

Device subsidies, and well-built networks in developed markets have effectively eliminated the need for dual-or-triple-SIM devices. Multi-SIM devices can be handy though if you are creative with pre-paid plans, travel a great deal, or need to stretch the usefulness of every dollar you spend.

Indeed, pinching pennies is a real challenge in other parts of the ...
