You know how, when typing something into a Google Search Engine, suggestions used to appear under the text window, changing depending on what you type further on? That was the Instant Search. Spearheaded by Marissa Mayer, vice president of search and user experience back in the day, Instant Search’s point was to save the user’s time by ...

If someone tries not to install the app, they will be facing a ten days of lock-up (and ...

News comes from an anonymous South Korean leakser. According to her or him, Samsung will release a smartphone called Note 8 Emperor. This will be an improved version of normal Note 8, having 6 gigabytes of RAM and 64GB ROM. The news is in no way confirmed, so take it with a grain of salt (somehow I don’t like this phrase).
