    It's essentially a static image with a mouth moving when a sound plays. There's no real connection between what's being said and what shapes the mouth is making and the lack of any…

    I like it. Nabbed a copy for $5 - feel like you should charge more than $3.50!

    They now owned by Google but I find Waze to consistently provide better and faster routing (by car) than Google Maps when I use them both on my Android phone.

    I genuinely worry about the day the SA forums get shut down for whatever reason. I've been posting there since 2003 and it's my first stop on the 'daily internet check' ritual.

    Presumably it's a name for people from the US but I've never seen it before and it's not great.

    On one hand I absolutely love Google's ecosystem and have an Android phone, use Gmail, have an nVidia Shield TV, use Android Pay, travel using Google Maps for transit every day, us…

    I work in a school where we have a bunch of iPads that get passed around from classroom to classroom. They are terrible. I wish they'd purchased Chromebooks instead but iPads are m…

    I use Profile Manager. I run OSX Server on a 2012 16GB/1TB macmini and it's been pretty good. It's stable - I think I've rebooted it once in about a year and a half. Anything you c…

    The comments on that article are crazy. How did so many nutters find it and comment on it so quickly?

    Mmm.. his terrible facial hair made me think it was an amature video. Hilarious that people are paying the guy money to put himself in their product videos and he doesn't even tidy…

    Hasn't Google+ done this for quite some time now? I think at 2048 x 2048 you can store unlimited photos. Odd that it wasn't one of the comparisons in the article anyway.

    There's a great app for rooted Android devices called Pry-fi that generates random MAC addresses while you're not connected to a network. edit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d…
