Google Chrome will soon support 100% incognito mode

Why 100%? Well, right now there are many websites out there that will not allow their users to watch them while in incognito mode. They will either force them to become visible again or to pay a lesser or greater fine in order to view them. Google, being a wannabe good uncle that it wants us to see it as, works on creating an incognito mode that bypasses all those limitations. This new solution is currently tested in Chrome Canary; if you want to learn how it works, check out this site by Techdows. ...

Facebook is currently working on a section made specifically for gamers

Smartphone: 1, arrow: 0, or how a phone saved a man’s life from a crazy bowman

This story took place in, to nobody’s surprise, Australia. A man has pulled his car in front of his property when he saw another man standing near. For one reason or another, the man was armed with a bow and an arrow. Puzzled, the victim pulled out his phone and begun filming the mysterious archer (personally I would rather drive away and call the cops), when the archer fired. Arrow went straight for the victim’s face, and would most certainly wound the man if the phone would not stop it. The projectile went right through the device, pushing through the rear panel and the ...

Less porn = less views, or how Tumblr tumbles down

At least that is what a group of 250 scientists from around the world wants you to believe. According to them, those headphones have a negative side effect: radiowaves that they use to communicate with the smartphone have a relatively large chance of creating cancer cells in the user’s brain. Their example of such ”cancer-creating” headphones are Airpods by Apple. International Agency for Research on Cancer agrees with this hypothesis but that is just it; for now it is only a hypothesis. We will let you know if it is actually proven to be ...

Samsung Galaxy A60 battery might have smaller battery than expected

Turns out that the specs sheet from some time ago was not completely correct: Galaxy A60 will not have a battery capacity of 4500mAh. Its real capacity is an okay but significantly less impressive 3500mAh; the proof is in a leaked picture above. Smaller than expected size might have been caused by phone’s large (6.7′) display. Other rumours about Galaxy A60 include a 32mpx triple camera setup, 6/8GB RAM, 128GB storage memory and Snapdragon 675 CPU. Tweet Vote on HN ...
