It is in YouTube’s interest that the videos uploaded in it are popular. What makes videos less popular? Negative notes, largely. That is why, though of course no one will admit it officially, YT plans on removing thumbs down in an unforseen future. Google also has other, similiar ideas: remove the thumb down by default but leave option of seeing it, leave the thumbs down but hiding the counter (useless) and others.What do you think? Majority of the Internet seems to believe that this would be simply a cheap way to make YouTube’s life easier at the expense of viewer’s ...

Researchers from Hootsuite and We Are Social have figured out that the average human being spends roughly 6 hours and 27 minutes every day online in one form or another.

Record breakers are Philippines, who can spend even 10 hours every day online; lowest on the ranking are Japanese, who spend ”only” 3 hours and 45 minutes every day in the ...

O tempora o mores… Kingdom Hearts 3, a rather atypical (for European standards at least) anime-esque action game with Disney characters included, has been released a few days ago. A few days before that, though, one wisecrack on the Internet has published a less-than-legal gameplay video of it on YouTube. YT quickly took it down, though, as the material in the video infringed Square Enix’, game’s creators, copyrights. Thusly denied player decided that he or she will publish their video one way or another and… took it to Pornhub instead. Technically, Pornhub follows ...

Resident Evil 2: Ghost Survivors will tell us the stories of three non-playable characters who meet their deaths during the main storyline. Three short missions will put is in the skin of the gun store owner (where you get your first shotgun – oh, I remember this scene well back from the classic RE2), daughter of the mayor put in care of the infamous chief Irons and, lastly, an unnamed Umbrella mercenary whose mission was to kill the scientist that released the virus. We do not know whether or not will it be possible to actually save these characters; on the one hand Japanese love to ...

Haha, that news reminded me of my short stint as a telemarketer. My job was to call people, doctors to be specific, and tell them that the XXX medicine is now being sold ”in a new, exciting box shaped like a heart”. Ah, old times… Mi Band 3, a pretty popular smartband by Xiaomi, will soon be sold in a new package. You can see how it will look on the picture above: the new box is oblong instead of an old square, and every box is adorned in the same colour that the band unit inside is. Aaaaand that is all. Yeah. If you expected some wonderful changes then sorry, there are ...

Did you even know that a new Doom movie is in the works? I have not. Turns out that it is: the flick’s director is one Tony Giglio, with Louise Mandylor and Amy Manson in main roles. Other than a few names and a bunch of pictures from the studio, we do not have any information about the movie other than that it will come out this year. According to latest news, though, it will come out later this year than expected, and the reason for that delay is not half bad: it is said that the creators of the flick want to put more work into scenes taking place in hell. Seeing how the fiery pits ...
