Carrot Weather, a weather app with a bite, has recently come out on Android OS. What is it? Basically a normal weather app with a touch of dark sense of humour. It will tell you, in a monotonous female voice, that it will rain in a minute and it sucks to be you if you’re caught outdoors, or that it is impressed that you can operate your smartphone despite having such tiny fat fingers; it will hope that you get a stroke on a hot day and wish goodnight to you and the guy that waits for you to fall asleep so that he can kill you at night. Function-wise, it is a bog standard weather app; ...

Battlefield series is alive and well, unlike some other multiplayer shooters (khe khe CoD khe khe Black Ops khe khe). After a pretty great Battlefield 1 from 2016, DICE, the creators of the series, bring us the first appetizer for sequel. Trailer starts as a cinematic, action-filled show based on game’s engine only to make a pretty seamless transition to quazi-gameplay (because come on, game will NOT be as cool as this) in the middle. It all looks pretty great, and there is a lot of hype going on, buuuuut… large number of people online took to complaining about it. Their ...

This method has been accepted by the government and will be implemented soon, even though it has a vocal number of critics believing that it ...

The program can determine whether the applicant is a bot or a living human based ...
