A recent study by Germany-based team of scientists revealed a correlation between an amount of time spent on social media and the number of grey matter cells in her/his brain. Research showed that the nucleus accumbens, region of brain largely responsible for the reward and addiction mechanics, is smaller in those who frequent Facebook, Twitter and other such websites often.

Oukitel K10000 Pro – an elegant and durable phone with a gigantic battery

Oukitel K10000 Pro is a bit weird phone, though in a good way. It has the looks of a reinforced premium flagship; relatively slim for a durable phone, black and silver, leather-clad back panel (from an Australian calf, if anyone cares), rubber and aluminium case, Gorilla Glass 2.5D, Not bad, not bad… good looks and durability are only some of the phone’s pros, though, as its specification is nothing to sneeze at either:– 5.5′ LCD screen, 1080×1920p,– MediaTek MT6750T CPU, 1.5 GHz, 8 cores,– Mali-T860 MP2 GPU,– 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, microSD ...

God may be merciful but Russian court is not… one Sokolovsky, 22 years old youtuber and vloger, made a clip in which he plays Pokemon Go in an orthodox church in Yekaterinburg, where the last Russian tzar family is said to have been killed.

He was sued (it is unknown by whom exacly, possibly the church’s pop) and sentenced to three and a half year of suspended sentence. Judge Yekaterina Shoponyak commented her decision by saying that Sokolovsky’s ...

Are you tired of phones turning into pocket computers? Do you want to take a break from being bothered by texts, Skype messages, mails and other nuisances? Then… turn off your phone!

Gymder – Tinder for Athletes

Eew… so, yeah. First there was Tinder, a dating app that ended up being a way to find people to have sex with. Then there was Grindr, doing the same thing but for men only. Then… okay, by now there are dozens of dating apps. This one, though, may take the cake in the Bizarre and Unneccessary competition. Gymder advertises itself as an app for finding gym-mates, people you can exercise together with, but come on… you do not do that and then slap the ”Tinder for Athletes” slogan on your product. The app itself is a pretty little piece of stalker technology, as it ...

What do we know about Qualcomm Snapdragon 845

It is rare for me to write about phones’ hardware here, but this time it would be difficult not to. Snapdragons, made by Qualcomm, are arguably the best CPUs for mobile on the market and the coming of a new one is always an important (again, arguably) event. Okay, enough with the preamble, lets get to the meat of the news. Just remember that these news are not 100% officially confirmed, so take them with a pinch of salt:– Snapdragon 845 is said to be complete by the mid-2018,– Samsung Galaxy S9 might be the first device with 845 on board,– CPU will be based upon a ...

Facebook provides us with ten tips for spotting fake news – on paper

It is only one month until the Great Britain’s General Election of June 8. Facebook is wary of a problem that can influence it and other important political events, namely the issue of fake news. False news are nothing new, eh heh, but have become particulary troublesome during the last US’ presidental campaign, during which both sides’ supporters accused one another of spreading fakes news about their candidates (example above – yes, supporters of that orange guy, that news is not real). Because of this, Facebook has issued a list of ten things you should do in ...

FaceTV, or Facebook is going to debut its own TV shows next month

O tempora o mores… from what I heard, Facebook is working on roughly twenty five TV shows. Social website company plans on launching them some time in early June. According to a source who spoke to Business Insider, most of these shows are supposed to be lower-budget, five to ten minutes flicks, while few of them are supposed to be big-budget ”marquee shows”. If the report is to be believed, Facebook’s move into the television has two reasons; first, to have better control over the content its users views (how exacly does that work I do not know), and second, to ...

Facebook vs. illegal content, or FB hires 3000 new moderators

Dark clouds gather over Facebook. Hating is a large percentage of the portal’s content; cyberbullying runs rampant; illicit posts and videos become way more popular than they should be; fake news, whatever they actually are, sow disinformation. Mark Zuckerberg, owner and one of the creators of Facebook seems to think thinks that enough is enough and decides to increase the number of Facebook moderators from 4500 to 7500.It’s hard to say if this increased manpower will help alleviate the situation. Perhaps it is just a subterfuge meant to make Zuckerberg’s hands appear ...
