Yay, another reason for me to have a low opinion on our eastern cousins. Russian company Rudron/Expeditor 3M has recently organized an event in which it tested its expensive, experimental mail drone in a town of Ulan-Ude, Siberia. Well, test did not went all that well. Moments after takeoff the pilot lost control of the drone, and the machine crashed ...

O tempora o mores, you cannot even have a large and influencial international company without someone trying to kill you anymore... just a few hours ago a shooting occured in YouTube's US headquarters in San Bruno, a town near San Francisco.

Mew is a Pokemon that has a rep being hard to get. Very few Pokemon games allow you to have that pocket monster at all, and those that do require you to work pretty hard to find and catch one - as it should be, what with Mew being a legendary creature and all that jazz. Pokemon GO has now joined the list of video games where obtaining Mew is possible, ...

North Korea is famous, and rightly so, for plethora of things - savage oppression of everyone but the very top brass, poor living conditions, single pizza joint in the whole country etc. It is also well known for, every once in a while, delivering a mobile device that makes everyone's eyes roll.

Smartphone is possibly the most important tool that a modern person has on her or himself.

Android's newest operating system is now available in Developer Preview, for now reserved for devs and those with special interest (and, presumably, leverage in the industry) in Android's OS.

If you have enjoyed spending time taking care of pixel critters in late 90's and early 2000's, this is something for you. My Tamagotchi Forever is a remake - or a sequel. In this case it is just semantics - to Tamagotchi, a ”live creature simulator” released by Bandai in 1996. The game's objective is the same as those twenty years ago - take ...

Looks like political issues are starting to influence mobile business, at least in the US. Who would have thought that smartphones and real life occure in the same space, huh... Anyway, chiefs of US security services - CIA, FBI, NSA and such - are officially recommending avoiding China-produced smartphones. Exact words of the FBI Director Chris Wray ...

Android P is the new upcoming version of the most popular mobile OS. It is said to come out this year and, so far, there is little more that we know about it. People smarter than me believe that it will increase battery life, but there is also word about a more interesting function. According to the gossip, Android 9.0 P will be able to tell when your ...

Burning smartphones are old news; what will you say about burning headphones? The story is as follows: one Jason Colan was spending time in a fitness club excercising and listening to music, when suddenly he noticed that his right headphone started to let out thick smoke.
