If you were looking for a decent smartphone with a really large battery then look no further, o pilgrim, for you have found it. Bluboo S3, despite its no-name category, offers a very reasonable compromise between a low price and high specs and, as a bonus, throws in a battery that, when compared to most devices available, is absurdly large.– price: $149.99,– 18:9 display, thin bezels,– MediaTek 6750 CPU, 8-core, 1.5 GHz,– 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, microSD slot up to 256GB,– 21mpx + 5mpx main camera, 13mpx selfie shooter, Portrait Mode,– Type-C port,– ...

It is official, folks: Google is releasing its Home and Home Mini smart speakers in India. Better late than never, as it has been over an year since both devices have been released on other markets. Their Indian prices are Rs 9,999 (around $154) and Rs 4,499 (roughly $69) respectively – more than in the US, since India prices tend to be that way for some or other economical reasons. On the bright side, buying Home or Home Mini in India comes with a few perks: six-month subscription to Google Play Music, discounts on Gaana and Saavn music services and, last but not least, a 10% cash ...

Yay, another reason for me to have a low opinion on our eastern cousins. Russian company Rudron/Expeditor 3M has recently organized an event in which it tested its expensive, experimental mail drone in a town of Ulan-Ude, Siberia. Well, test did not went all that well. Moments after takeoff the pilot lost control of the drone, and the machine crashed into a nearby building. There goes your 20k! The video of the test flight can be watched here. It is speculated that the area’s high WiFi signals have messed up drone’s controls, but most people in the know-how consider that ...

O tempora o mores, you cannot even have a large and influencial international company without someone trying to kill you anymore… just a few hours ago a shooting occured in YouTube’s US headquarters in San Bruno, a town near San Francisco. Right now not much is known about the case. There have been three wounded and one dead, the shooter herself, one Nasim Aghdam. For a while a bunch of Internet trolls blamed the shooting on a comic Sam Hyde, but these rumours have been quickly dismantled. As of now, Aghdam’s motivations are unknown.Hey, Americans. Maybe reconsider your ...

Mew is a Pokemon that has a rep being hard to get. Very few Pokemon games allow you to have that pocket monster at all, and those that do require you to work pretty hard to find and catch one – as it should be, what with Mew being a legendary creature and all that jazz. Pokemon GO has now joined the list of video games where obtaining Mew is possible, or so we believe. Niantic has released a somewhat vague press release in which the company promises – vaguely – that a newly available quest lines will reward players with their own Mew. These quests, called Research and ...

North Korea is famous, and rightly so, for plethora of things – savage oppression of everyone but the very top brass, poor living conditions, single pizza joint in the whole country etc. It is also well known for, every once in a while, delivering a mobile device that makes everyone’s eyes roll. Well folks, today is this day once again, as North Korean developer Arirang IT Exchange Company has just released Arirang 171. Arirang IT Exchange Company is known for products such as Samurai Hunting, a rascist, anti-Japanese mobile game, which I am sure is an assured mark of quality ...

Smartphone is possibly the most important tool that a modern person has on her or himself. It allows us to communicate with people over distance and has a plethora of utility that simply makes life easier (whether it makes life better is debatable, but certainly easier). It’s our picture book, encyclopedia, newspaper, bank and mirror all at once. When we go out we may forget our keys, our wallet or even socks, but very few people will leave their smartphone behind. Therefore, it is no wonder that losing this device, either to thief or ill luck, is one of the worse things that can ...

Android’s newest operating system is now available in Developer Preview, for now reserved for devs and those with special interest (and, presumably, leverage in the industry) in Android’s OS. That is nice, but should the ”common man” care about P?Not really, at least according to people wiser than I. Judging by what can be found online, Android P is mostly interesting for developers. That is because it allows app creators more freedom in optimizing their programs towards the OS, particulary the notch. Average user will only notice the smaller changes, like changed ...

If you have enjoyed spending time taking care of pixel critters in late 90’s and early 2000’s, this is something for you. My Tamagotchi Forever is a remake – or a sequel. In this case it is just semantics – to Tamagotchi, a ”live creature simulator” released by Bandai in 1996. The game’s objective is the same as those twenty years ago – take care of your Tamagotchi and make sure that it grows. Afterwards – this is a new part of the game – share your progress online and compare it to that of other people.My Tamagotchi Forever will ...
