Facebook T&C Allows Teens To Post Publicly

When we were young, all we wanted to do was grow up so that we can do all the stuff that grown ups do. There is that sense of thrill and adventure to it, of course. Well, Facebook recently made an announcement concerning another change in the site's usage terms, which would see previous restrictions on the way that minors used the social network lifted up. Basically, anyone is now able to post publicly, whereas in the past, only those who were 18 and above could do so, while minors were restricted to just sharing updates with friends or friends of friends.

NFL player Alfred Morris receives his thoroughly restored 1991 Mazda 626

Washington Redskins starting running back Alfred Morris might not drive a flashy sports car or SUV, but after today, he'll be driving the nicest 1991 Mazda 626 on the planet. Back in July, Morris temporarily traded in his 626 – cheekily named Bentley – for a 2014 Mazda6 loaner courtesy of Mazda, and today the sedan was presented back to him after the ultimate PR stunt: a reported 275-man-hour restoration that left this 22-year-old daily driver looking like it just rolled off the assembly line. Not everything was brought back to original condition, though.

HTC rumored to manufacture upcoming Amazon smartphones

HTC rumored to manufacture upcoming Amazon smartphones

HTC's constant fall into its abyss of quarterly losses calls for some major moves to keep the company alive. A recent rumor suggest the Taiwanese smartphone giant is up for sale, with Lenovo being the favorite bidder, but is that really necessary. Can HTC and it's outstanding experience stay afloat on its own. We are not sure, but a rumored deal with Amazon might make things a bit better.
The latest report states HTC is making the highly rumored Amazon smartphones. This wouldn't be a bad idea. HTC needs the support and Amazon has a powerful name and market behind it.

Donald Trump Says Apple Should Make An iPhone With A Larger Display 'ASAP'

Donald Trump Says Apple Should Make An iPhone With A Larger Display 'ASAP'

Anybody who has access to a comments section has at least once given their expert opinion how Apple should immediately increase the iPhone's display size to counter the barrage of Android smartphones that are taking over the market with their large displays. Its easier to advise Apple to make this change, but its obviously not that easy to do, a number of other factors have to be considered as well. The latest person to advise Apple is none other than Donald Trump, who says that the company should make iPhones with larger displays “ASAP.” This isn't actually the first time Trump voiced concern about the iPhone's display size.

Sonos presents Play:1, a pint-sized wireless streaming speaker for $199

Sonos presents Play:1, a pint-sized wireless streaming speaker for $199

To design and construct a speaker to fit in all of the components needed to both produce good sound and seamlessly knit into Sonos' proprietary wireless mesh required a team of almost 60 people. John Macfarlane, Sonos' CEO, says that the Play:1 was the most technically difficult model to build - its small footprint (120 x 120 x 160mm) required significant engineering to deal with wireless interference and keep things acoustically optimized. And the result of their two years of hard work. A pretty damn good speaker.
We were happy with the Play:3, Sub and Playbar, and we can report that the Play:1 is another quality Sonos.

US Cellular announces shared data pools for family plans, and they don't look attractive at all

US Cellular, the up-and-coming carrier that seems to be doing quite well for themselves, have announced the addition of shared data pools for folks who are on family plans. Plans from 1GB up through 75GB are available, though you'll be paying a pretty penny once you start reaching double digits. Here's a quick breakdown of some of the plan options you can choose from:.  

It seems quite pricey, folks. 1GB for $50? It seems like a steal… for them. According to US Cellular, they offer “the most Shared Data options of any carrier,” and also touted that they have the only shared data plans with loyalty rewards.

Sprint Galaxy Mega 6.3 Render Leaks

It was back in August when Samsung announced that the Galaxy Mega 6.3 phablet will be headed to Sprint, apart from AT&T and U.S. Cellular. Announcements regarding the pricing and availability were to be made by carriers, and Sprint still hasn't revealed when the phablet will be available for its customers and how much they'll have to part with.Ƃ Though it seems that Sprint might finally be gearing up to launch the phablet. The press render of Sprint Galaxy Mega 6.3 has leaked online.
Both U.S. cellular and AT&T are already selling the Galaxy Mega 6.3 to their customers, Sprint has kept itself out of the fray for quite some time now.
