Chinese news station Xinhua has recently hired a new person to be their TV presenter. Well, ”hire” may not be the best word for it; nor, for that matter, ”person”. Xin Xiaomeng, Xinhua’s newest journalist, is an artificial reality person – a combination of graphics, audio and AI. Xin Xiaomeng is the third AI presenter to ”work” in Xinhua; her two predecessors were both ”males”. The three have so far spend over ten thousand minutes on the air. Impressive for someone who is not real.Fancy whim of an exotic nation or logical next step ...

Well, it looks like such a browser is really coming out: Neowin website has managed to snatch and publish a few screenshots of it online. So, what do we know about this new Edge?

Friday 13th is a horror stealth/hunt video game based on the famous horror series of the same name. Its creators, the Gun Media studios, have had an unfortunate court run-in in with Victor Miller. The result of it is that Gun Media are not allowed to tamper with their game any more: they can sell it and keep it working but they cannot add anything more to it.

It has been known for some time now that Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Mi 4, Mi 4S, Mi 4C and Mi 5 will not receive the MIUI 11 OS overlay. Sadly, the Mi Max i Mi Max Prime models are now being added to that list. MIUI forum’s administrator has said that the reason for this is, long story short, it has too much work on its plate to be able to support older devices like the ones listed. Too bad. Lets hope that abandoning older models at least means that Xiaomi will put more effort into polishing up the new ...
