As is usually the case with Samsung smartphones, Galaxy S10 has leaked hard over the last month. Perhaps understanding that there is nothing left to hide, Samsung has supposedly decided to reveal the device early. According to an anonymous source working for the Korean Herald newssite, Samsung will hold an Unpacked event in San Francisco a whole week before the start of MWC 2019, which will begin on February 25th. Exact date of Unpacked is unknown but can be presumed to be February 18th. Rumour is that earlier reveal date has been chosen so as to not coincide with the potentially outshining ...

Alcatel 1X and Alcatel 1C, two budget phones
CES 2019 may have been dominated by the large companies, but there is always some room for the lesser players to shine too. One of them is Alcatel, the company that have just officially presented its two low-price smartphone models, 1X and 1C. Their main point are low prices (120 and 70 euro), although their specs are pretty good for such a small cost:– 5.5′ IPS LCD 720p / 5′ IPS LCD display,– MediaTek MT6739 / Spreadtrum SC7731E CPU,– 2 GB RAM, 16 GB miejsca / 1GB RAM, 8 GB miejsca,– 13mpx main camera, 5mpx selfie shooter / 5mpx, 2mpx,– Bluetooth ...
Bug-infested phone or eew, just eew
This one is a quickie. A man in Sydney has been working on renovating a property. When getting around removing the stationary phone, the man took off its lid. What he found inside was, well… there is no way getting round it… a thick layer of sticky, long-dead cockroaches. See it for yourselves – do not let me be the only one who had to endure it.

IBM Q System One, the first commercially available quantum computer
Another piece of CES 2019 news. This time IBM has presented us the first commercially available quantum computer. While the device will hardly be available to an average user and will probably cost an arm and a leg (we do not know the exacy price), it will still be finally available outside the laboratories’ walls. Quantum computing is based on qubits, which allow the data to exist as both 0’s and 1’s simultaneously, which in turn allows for processing much more complex data. No, I do not understand it either – the gist of the story is that the quantum ...
iTunes shows and movies will soon be available on Samsung tv sets
The electronics conference CES 2019 is currently taking place. In it, Apple has announced that its iTunes Movies & TV Shows application will soon be supported by Samsung televisors. Thanks to this people will have access to their iTunes library, as well as iTunes Store, without neccessarily having to use an Apple device. This is a huge change in Apple’s direction; it is very rare for Big A’s apps to work on non-Apple devices. This probably has something to do with the company currently working on its own shows and movies; Apple probably believes that the money made out of ...
Flights from Heathrow have been temporarily called off due to a drone
Perhaps you remember a story from few weeks ago about how some idiot/s with a drone have locked one of London airports for 36 hours. Well, a similiar, albeit much lighter, story have repeated itself. Flights from Heathrow have been called off around 17:05 due to sightings of a drone flying in the area of the facility. We do not know the details of the actions taken against the mechanical menace – police was probably involved, as perhaps was even the military – but the drone must have been caught fast, as first planes took off as early as 19:20.Heathrow airport now considers ...
Japanese billioner is throwing money away on Twitter
Yusaku Maezawa, the owner of the online fashion store Zozotown, has recently announced that he will pay 1 million yen to the 100 people who retweet his message. The message states that Zozotown has made 10 billion yen during the new year’s sale-off – no wonder Maezawa feels like splurging a hundred million on some PR :D. His message has been retweeted 4.5 million times so far, which sets a new Twitter record.And yet, this is not even the most outrageous of billioner’s ideas; on 2023, Yusaku Maezawa will be the first tourist to board Elon Musk’s space ...

Alien: Blackout, or watch out, your phone has bugs
Wanted a proper sequel to Alien: Isolation? Well, you will have to wait. Still, Alien: Blackout may be a cool game, even if it is just a mobile one. Judging by info available online, A:B is a variant on the ”Five Nights at Freddy’s” gameplay, with added element of friendly NPCs which have to be helped in navigating the map and who in turn can help the player. A:B’s plot revolves around Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley and the protagonist of Isolation; unlucky Ripley finds herself on a xenomorph-infested Mendel station owned by, of course, Weyland-Yutani ...
