In this economy, one can never be too careful about spending money. And when it comes to electricity bills, even the smallest electronic devices can add up to several dollars’ worth of extra charges over the course of a year. That’s why one website decided to compare the costs of charging an iPhone 5 over the course of a year versus the costs of charging a Samsung Galaxy SIII. Sure, an extra few dollars may not topple an annual budget, but it’s an interesting comparison…

I risk turning the One Click Root blog into a TMZ.org style website with this post, but here goes nothing: The Guardian recently caught Eric Schmidt on camera using a BlackBerry. And it’s not the first time Google’s world-famous Chairman has been caught playing around on his BlackBerry. In fact, Schmidt freely admits that he is addicted to his BlackBerry. Which is weird because, as you may know, Google actively develops Android, the world’s most popular mobile operating…

When watching the TV show, apps like HBO Go keep viewers updated on the complex relationships between characters. And now, for those who are reading the books for the first time, a new Android app aims to prevent confusion, avoid spoilers, and tell visitors exactly what’s going on in the pages…
Google Reader is dead. And in its place are a bunch of good Reader alternatives for Android. But Google wasn’t going to just abandon its legions of Reader fans and throw them into the arms of third-party services. That’s why Google is currently developing something called ‘Babble’. Although details of the project are hazy at this point, Babble aims to unify a number of different Google services, including various messaging platforms. Why does Google need a unified messaging…
5) Google Keep It’s big news anytime Google releases a new app. Google Keep isn’t anything revolutionary. In fact, it’s basically a copy of cloud-memory service apps like Evernote. Google Keep allows users to save notes through text and voice and then access those notes on any other internet-connected device over the cloud. Notes are saved on Google’s servers and can be color-coded for clarity. If you have trouble remembering things and never liked Evernote, then Google Keep is…

While CyanogenMod currently supports the world’s most popular Android smartphone – the Galaxy S3 – it may not support that device’s successor, the Galaxy S4.

But hey, Samsung’s newest phone is so exciting and groundbreaking that you should be happy to read so much about it, right? Well, here’s another tidbit of interesting information about the Galaxy S4: it will be twice as powerful as the iPhone. That’s not a gross exaggeration or some made-up number.

I love my Galaxy S3. But most people agree that the GS3’s default keyboard sucks. That’s why SwiftKey is usually the most popular paid app on the Google Play Store. For a price of $3.99 (following a free 30 day trial), Android users can access basically the best mobile keyboard ever made. I love SwiftKey, and I’m not alone.
