Yusaku Maezawa, Japanese buisnessman and creator of Start Today and Zozotown companies, will be the first person to take flight into space aboard SpaceX’ tourist spaceship. Japanese billionaire has bought out all seats available on the ship and plans on having a number of artists join him in the journey. Personally I would rather take my parents, but perhaps Maezawa does not like his. We do not know how much money did Mr. Yusaku pay for his ticket into space, but the sum must have been considerate – his fortune is estimated to be worth 2.9 billion USD. The flight is planned on ...

Polish studio RinoApps has hit a jackpot (at least among Poles – we love to complain) when they created this portal. Haterick is a mobile app the whole point of which is to create an online space for all us haters to, well, hate. The topic of hatred does not matter – music today is crap, construction works are too loud, summer is already ending, America is not great anymore, everything is fair game on Haterick. While Haterick has been created with them complaining Poles in mind, every nationality is welcome, so come along and hate with ...

Harsh, but there is no other explanation for the fact that that many people have downloaded a software program believing that it will somehow transmutate their mobile devices into having more RAM memory. This app is a joke at best an a malignant nest of blackware at worst. Oh well – if people can believe that a fan app will let them cool their faces on a hot day… Tweet Vote on HN ...

Google is working on artificial inteligence specialized in seeking out child pornography online. According to its creators, this AI increases the probability of finding that illegal (and disgusting) content in the Internet by an impressive 700%. Its performance is based on neural network, which (somehow) means that the number of people required to verify its decisions is minimal. Sounds a bit like Skynet, but I cannot disapprove of the tool used in such a cause. Google has given this AI to its business partners and on-governmental organizations for ...

That is a kind of leak that I enjoy; the one that almost literally ”fell off the truck”. An unknown Lyft passenger has left her or his smartphone inside the car. When the driver found the device, they first thought it to be Pixel 2 XL, but upon further inspection it was realized that it was a pre-production Pixel 3 XL. Well, someone is going to lose their job… at least the driver has, reportedly, managed to return the smartphone to its owner.Pictures, while nice, do not show anything new about Google’s upcoming device. ...

This information, known to us for some time now, has just been confirmed by a research done by a company called Garter. Effects of their research are available on the diagram above. It shows basically the same thing that IDC’s research had in the beginning of this month: namely, that Huawei has sold more smartphones in Q2 2018 than Apple have. Samsung still is the leading manufacturer on the market, even if it sold ten million smartphones less than in Q2 2017.
