Kotaku has recently released a report, according to which next Black Ops game will be released a year ahead of what is usually the Black Ops’ release pattern. Normally, we see a new Black Ops game being released roughly every three years; this time though, we might get it a year early. The reasons for this change are unspecified: something about new management in Sledgehammer studio, disagreements between Sledgehammer and Raven et cetera. Kotaku also notes that it is likely that the next Black Ops COD will offer us a single player campaign, perhaps learning from their mistake of not ...

A bunch of new renders of the upcoming ASUS Zenfone 6 has recently made it online. Of particular interest is one of them, the one that shows what can only be a pivoting camera. Cameras on a swivel are a new and hopefully long-lived trend in smartphones that allows their main camera to also serve as their selfie shooter, increasing the quality of selfies and somewhat lowering the phone’s production cost. Zenfone 6’s camera is supposed to be a 48mpx x 12mpx setup. Other than that, the leak has also produced some information on phone’s specs:– 6,3′ display, ...

If so, season 2 may be out by the end of 2021.*Witcher was first filmed in early 2000’s in Poland, but the show was, how to put it, not that ...

According to people wiser than me, the number seems to be about right, since Windows 10 is one of the most popular of Microsoft OS’ ever made. The leaked documentation also tells us that 32 million people have downloaded Windows 10’s mobile applications – a resounding success, seeing how Microsoft never really got the hang of the mobile market. Windows Edge itself got downloaded 4.5 million times, and Microsoft Launcher 4 million times. ...
