Roughly a month ago I wrote about how BlackBerry KEYone’s release has gone through a bit of a foul due to the phone’s screen’s painful lack of adhesive, which caused the device to break extremely easily. BlackBerry promised to find a better adhesive and to deliver so improved units to stores. Company kept its promise and fixed smartphones are now available for sale in both retail and carriers. Yaay.If you have already bought yourself a KEYone and it turned out to be lacking adhesive, do not worry! Your device should still be under warranty and can be replaced for a shiny ...

5.5′, 1440p display, Snapdragon 801 CPU, 3GB RAM, 16GB ROM, 3000mAh battery: LG G3 was a pretty great phone back in 2014.

Make your Nokia 3310 even greater with a special Putin-Trump gold and titanium edition. Price is mere $2.5 thousand dollars
I do not know what to say. I feel like starting a half-crazed rant about how humanity is doomed to annihilation, but that is not what I am getting paid for, so…Russian phone customizer Caviar has a new offer in its store. To commemorate the G-20 summit in Hamburg, and possibly to show how stupid some people are (hold it down, Mike, no ranting…), Caviar has prepared a very special edition of new Nokia 3310. This Nokia 3310 is encased in gold, titanium and other metals, has a damascus steel pattern and is adorned with a golden double profile of presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald ...

Decryption key for Petya selling for $250k, probably a scam
An udentified hacker/s have put the word online; he/she/they have a decryption key that can save any computer attacked by Petya (or NotPetya. Semantics) and they will give it away – of course, not for free. Hacker’s price is a pretty steep 100 bitcoins, which translates into a significant sum of 250 thousand dollars. Such key probably belongs to the virus’ creators – proof of which may be fact that around ten thousand bitcoins have been moved out of the account associated with Petya (why such account has not been blocked days ago is beyond me). Reportedly, at least ...
