Almost two thirds of the total number of phone subscribers living within the United States own a smartphone. But it appears that owning a smartphone is beginning to become some sort of a hassle for users, with many people feeling that they are struggling to afford the costs of owning one. Others are even starting to think that instead of improving their lives, smartphones are actually disrupting them. Well, at least according to a study.

YouTube is now officially supporting 360 degree video formats in most of its web and mobile platforms. Specifically, it will support 360 degree video viewing in the YouTube website, in the YouTube app for Android, and in embedded videos on the Chrome web browser.
After a very competitive holiday period in which wireless carriers in the United States threw seemingly endless promos after promos, it seems that the price war in between network providers are beginning to subside. Indeed, we have seen some carriers raising back their fees and ending their special offers.
John Stephens, Chief Financial Officer of AT&T, certainly agrees. According to Stephens, the field of competition in the wireless industry seems to have stabilized and he expresses confidence about AT&T's chances of competing in the next quarter or so.
