Reportedly, Sprint works on new technology called Massive MIMO (short for multiple input, multiple output) tech. MIMO’s goal is to improve LTE Plus’ coverage as well as mobile Internet speed.How does this MIMO work, exacly?

Skype under attack by hackers!
The above picture, published by Downdetector website, shows the scale of the problem. The whole thing began yesterday, which I can confirm as a Skype user myself. Ever since yesterday, Microsoft’s popular communicator has had massive issues with connectivity – video calls would not be allowed, chat messages would not go through etc. Earlier today, Microsoft said that the issue has been resolved, but according to many Skype users online it is still prevalent, though significantly less so. Rumour is that the problem is caused by an attack by a hacker group known as CyberTeam, who ...
South Park: Phone Destroyer coming out later this year
South Park is game, baby! That was a joke. A double entendre. Since, you know, it is more popular than ever and also because it has been made into a number of games recently (earlier in the days too, but that’s ancient history). Yeah.

Wave the (virtual) rainbow flag, or new LGBT reaction is available on Facebook
It all started with ”thumbs up”, also known as a like. This cyber-gesture has been available on Facebook almost from the get go (not really, but it is a good, simplifying lie), doing its part in making FB the most popular social website in the world. Recently, after years of waiting, Facebook has granted us more reaction emoticons. Now we can love something that another person has posted online or be mad about it, laugh at something or feel sorry for someone and more. Even more recently – just last month – we could share pixel flowers in celebration of Mother’s ...

Android O will be out in two months!
At least that is what David Ruddock, commissioning editor of Android Police, believes to be true. According to the man, new OS will be revealed on August. Google Pixel is said to be the first smartphone to boast the ”Oreo”, with Google Nexus being the latter. It is possible, though, that this first version of the OS will be but a skeleton frame, with remaining components being added to it over the span of a few months after release. Tweet Vote on HN ...
Rev up those tractor engines, for Farming Simulator 18 is now available on Google Store

Ryonghung iPad, tablet from… North Korea
Well, well, well… I am speechless. Well, mostly because I am too busy rolling on the floor, laughing.*five minutes and one aspirin pill later*Okay, I am good now. So… North Korea has once again shown its technologial superiority to the rest of the world. Ryonghung iPad is basically a badly made parody, excuse me, I mean ripoff of Apple’s mobile device. This beast (specification: 1GB RAM, 8GB storage with an USD slot, 4-core 1.2GHz CPU, Internet connection (!!)) will not be, naturally, available to the common citizen of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. No ...
