Nexus Sailfish and Marlin rumors are thriving lately probably due to the closing premiere. The two HTC-made Nexus smartphones were spotted in benchmarks, live photos, renders, and even FCC listings.
To complete yesterday’s photoshoot of the Nexus Sailfish, we have yet another photo of its sides. It brings us nothing new and still can’t confirm the choice of materials (glass and metal, or glass and plastic), but you may find it interesting.
The Sailfish should be the smaller Nexus with a 5.0″ 1080p display, Snapdragon 820 (or later) chip with 4GB RAM, a 12MP main camera, and a…

Last week, we told you about the QuadRooter vulnerability that was said to affect one billion Android powered devices. Four flaws were discovered, and three of them were patched, leaving one vulnerable. This was going to be taken care of in Google’s September security update. QuadRooter can allow a hacker to gains root access to a phone’s camera, microphone, data and more.
How deadly is QuadRooter? Consider that the phone called by its manufacturer as “the most secure Android phone in the world,” the BlackBerry DTEK50, was affected by it. Note how we wrote that in past tense. That is because … – Source

If you’re constantly changing your work hours or frequently jet-setting between time zones, you may be more vulnerable to catching a virus than people with consistent work schedules or less erratic itineraries, a new study suggests.

Throw off your body clock, and viruses like the flu and common cold will have a greater opportunity to rush in, overtake your cells and spread throughout your body, the study’s co-author Akhilesh Reddy, told Mashable. …

Netflix’s hit horror-drama Stranger Things showed what happens when the Nightman cometh to a small town in Indiana.
It also happens to be, like many things, perfect fodder for an It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia parody, because the two go together here just like milk and steak.
