Pokemon Go is cool and all, but it is time for a new player on the AR market. Personally I think that the project will fail tremendously, but what do I know… Anyway, AMC TV channel and Next Game developer have joined forces and announced The Walking Dead: Our World, a new artificial reality game for smartphones. Game trailer does not show actual gameplay footage, but still looks pretty cool, with running between zombies, shooting, slashing, explosions and what seems to be a promise of co-op mode, if not outright MMO-like multiplayer. Another feature will be, erm, taking selfies with ...

As perhaps you have already heard, there was a ”small misunderstanding” a few weeks ago between the American government and a Russian antyvirus creators Kaspersky. Kaspersky was accused of leaking information to the Russian intelligence, and the US government readily removed it from its list of trusted software deliverers. Losing a single, very lucrative contract is only part of Kaspersky’s problems now, though. As it turns out, FBI is (allegedly) contacting various private companies, trying to get them to resign from Kaspersky’s services. FBI’s argument is ...

Ladies and gentleman, it is now official – the name of the Android 8.0 is Oreo. Sorry, Oatmeal Cookies and Octopuses, you were close but no cigar. So, now that we have the matter of the OS’ name out of the way, what are the new features it offers? Well, the ones we are aware of so far are:– notification dots. Similiar to 3D Touch, they offer a quick contextual menu to expand from any notification by tapping and holding the app icon,– increased battery performance achieved by suppressing the background use of phone’s apps,– Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. ...

New York Times informs us that a new app has been released on the Chinese market. Its name is Colourful Balloons, and both its function and style are very similiar to ...

Android must have had lots of fun, keeping us in the dark about Android 8.0’s real name. Still, all good times must come to an end… Later today, Android will officially reveal the real name of its new OS. Still, as you know, the rumour train has no brakes!, hence why the above picture. The graphic has been posted online by one Evan Blass (all hail), who is a leakster whose leaks almost always turn out to be genuine. Mr Blass has not shared the source of this sort-of-news, so it cannot be said with 100% certainty that yes, Oreo will be the name of the Android 8.0… but this ...
