While ago I wrote about an old phenomenon that is prison contraband and a new way of committing it, namely by drones. Lets say there is a convict who wants some XXX material to read, a cellphone for calling his dearest grandmother and a few grams of cocaine to make his stay in prison a bit more tolerable. Using his contacts, he (or she – lets be fair) orders a delivery. The order is being collected by someone ”on the outside”. That outside person then buys a drone worth one hundred bucks (reasonable price, seeing how it can be used multiple times and how much said person ...

This Chinese phone case has a cool little effect to it – it changes its colour when affected by high temperature. Normally, the case is red, but when touched by something of around 35 Celcius degrees it temporarily changes to yellow. The above picture, well, pictures this very well – holding the phone in your hand leaves cool, yellow marks on the case, making it look like some kind of postmodernistic painting worth at least 500 thousand dollars. Hot summer is probably the best time to play around with it.For a Chinese gadget, case is pretty well made – it is said to be ...

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? Long story short, it allows more than a single data signal to be sent and received between nodes (e.g. website’s servers and your smartphone) over the same radio channel. In addition, MIMO also allows for beamforming, which enhances data signals.New tech is currently being tested in Suwon, South Korea, and the results are said to be promising. ...

We do know quite a bit about the Sharp FS8016, which may or may not be Sharp Acquos R Compact. Its specification is:– 8-core Snapdragon 660 CPU, 2.2GHz,– 2040×1080 p resolution (hence thy the somewhat weird proportions),– Adreno 512 CPU,– 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage,– 12mpx main camera, 8mpx secondary camera,– Android 7.1 Nougat OS.We do not know when exacly will the phone be released, but considering it has been through two benchmarks already, we can easily assume its release is close (hahaa!). The good news is that the phone will probably also ...

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 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. Anyway, South Park has been made into a successful RPG, with sequel coming up, and now the hilarious TV show is making its way into the mobile gaming industry. Kewl! Phone Destroyer is a strategy card game, meaning that the player has to assemble a card deck which consists of various South Park characters with different in-game skills. With a deck in ...

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 ...

Russia invokes a number of connotations. Winter, vodka, communism, Red Army, caviar, In Soviet Russia, Rush B, Ukraine. Some of these connotations are funny, others not at all. This time, though, it is time to bring up something hilarious and/or disgusting that came up in the land of bears on unicycles.”Comrade, we have done it! Another step towards destroying dirty capitalistic nations of the West has been made! Long live the US… Russia!””Excelent, comrade. Show me what you’ve got. Wait… is… is this a vending machine that sells ...

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 ...

”Harvest sunflowers, potatoes and more… tend to your crops, pigs and sheep… load your bales with a front loader…”. I do not understand the fascination with Farming Simulator, but I won’t judge. If you like to work when playing, its your business. Transport those potatoes, pronto! Farming Simulator is a strangely popular video game series. It is one of the very best selling games on Steam, and has topped sales charts in Germany and France (Really, France?). Anyway, the latest game in the series has just been released on Google Play for you mobile farmers ...
