Android tops Windows as the most popular OS for web surfing

Ladies and gentleman, it is now official – more people are using their smartphones than PCs for web browsing. I know that the title of the news is ”Android over Windows”, not ”smartphones over PCs”, but that means pretty much the same thing. Ever since mid-2015, the trend has risen in which more people were browsing the Internet on their mobile devices than on their computers. Since Android is the most popular operating system for smartphones and many other mobiles, it means that more and more often Android was the OS used to browse the net, not Windows. O ...

OnePlus charges people like batteries, or OnePlus Dash Charge energy drink

Thanks to OnePlus (as well as a few other companies) we can now charge our phones in a jiffy, thanks to the Quick Charge technology. It’s good to have a full battery in your smartphone, but it is just as important (some people will argue) to be fully charged yourself. OnePlus’ marketing specialists must have had the same idea and so OnePlus Dash Charge, an energy drink, came to life. Oh, but don’t worry, buying it won’t be as easy as just going to your nearest convenience store. Dash Charge will be sold in limited numbers and only in chosen stores around the world ...

Do you think that you may be addicted to your smartphone? This prosthetic phone will help you – or just make you look ridiculous

An initiative called Give Your Mobile The Boot has been started in Great Britain. The goal is to make car drivers realize, that using their smartphones while driving is dangerous and to encourage them to put their mobiles into the car’s trunk (or boot, though I’ve never heard car’s trunk being called that before. Hm) to avoid the temptation of picking it up while on the road. MORE TH>N, a direct financial services firm, has developed the prosthetic phone as a part of this campaign. What is it? Well… it is a smartphone-shaped box of plastic. According to research made ...

Lenovo P2’s OS is being upgraded to Nougat as we speak

That was fast! Lenovo has announced that P2 will be receiving its operating system upgrade in three weeks, but it looks like we are getting it right now instead. First phones to receive it will be ones without the operator’s brand (whatever that means). Those of us who bought our Lenovo P2 in a brand store will have to wait a while longer. It is possible that the OS upgrade will also come faster to other Lenovo devices awaiting one, like Lenovo K6 or ZUK Z2. Tweet Vote on ...

Cagabi One, a twopenny smartphone

If you need a new smartphone, but your wallet’s emptier than my love life, perhaps you should become interested in this one. Cagabi is not a well-known brand (first time I ever heard about it, personally), but perhaps it would be worthwhile to give it a shot, at least if you’re interested in an ultra budget phone.– 1GB RAM, 8GB storage memory, microSD slot,– MediaTek MT6580 CPU, 4-core, 32bit, 1.3GHz,– 5 inches HD display, 2.5D glass,– 8mpx main camera, dual ELD flash; 5mpx selfie shooter,– DualSim,– Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, planned upgrade ...

Lenovo Moto X 2017 leaked. Seems to be a mid-ranger.

One Jerry Lin has just updated his Google+ profile with pictures of a Lenovo Moto X 2017’s test copy. This is a pretty great find, seeing how we knew next to nothing about the device so far. We still do not know much, but one of the pictures does inform us about the phone having 3 gigabytes of RAM, 32GB of internal memory and a Snapdragon 626 CPU. These few specs tell us that this new Lenovo will be a mid-ranger – nothing too fancy, or fancy at all, but well enough to get the job ...

Technology can save lives, or how a 4 years old asked Siri for help

A cool story that came up on BBC a few days ago. A four years old boy noticed that his mother has lost consciousness (and no, we do not know the cause). Scared but surprisingly prudential boy unlocked his mum’s phone by putting her finger against the screen. When Siri, an AI assistant housed in iPhone smartphones, asked what it can do for him, boy asked it for help. Soon after, an emergency service came in and saved the woman.Mind the details here – little boy did not tell Siri to ”call 999” or to ”contact an emergency service”. Small, scared boy probably ...

Manufacturer of the We-Vibe sextoy has agreed to pay a large compensation

Standard Innovation is the producer of We-Vibe sextoys and mobile applications. A few months ago, a class action suit has been brought in action against the company by their product users, who believed that the company is stealing their personal data. Standard Innovation has decided to settle for an agreement, due to which it is obliged to pay a fine to every We-Vibe user – mere hundred dollars to everyone who used the We-Vibe vibrator, and a whooping ten thousand dollars to everyone who also used the reportedly data-stealing We-Connect app. The company also announced that it will no ...

Wolf of the BF: Commando – another classic Capcom game hits Android

Known in the US simply as Commando (no relations to the Schwarzenegger movie), this one is a no brainer. There is you, a Rambo-esque soldier capable of killing hundreds of enemy pixels with a rifle and batch of grenades, and there are the enemies. You move up, they move down, you have to shoot them down or they will shoot you down. As was the case with other modernized Capcom games released lately, this one has been optimized for mobile devices (specifically, Android phones). Other – few – changes include adding a leaderboard, so that you can compare your e-penis to those of ...
