We will probably have to wait until autumn before we will be able to see Google Pixel 4 live, but it is today that we can take a first look at this upcoming smartphone’s design. Graphics that depict it can be watched here, here and here. The graphics present us with a few interesting bits of information: they show us a single main camera, fingerprint scanner and, last but not least, a nearly completely borderless screen. The design does not include, sadly, any specifications: all we know is that the smartphone will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 ...

It is not often that IMEI writes about filmography, but there are some flicks that just cannot go unmentioned. A teaser trailer has just been released, promising us nothing else but the third Ghostbusters movie! The short teaser tells us very little, but that very little is well enough to give us some ideas about the movie’s plot. The sight of the Ghostbusters’ car hidden in some shack in the middle of nowhere suggests that the group has split up and ceased their anti-supernatural activities.

Ouch… Epic Games is already at work to fix the issue. In the meantime, players are encouraged to use the two-factor authentication security; it should be enough to keep their accounts ...

Various kinds of ”pranks” and challenges are very popular these days. You surely know what am I talking about: Spider-Dog, plank challenge, Bird Box challenge et cetera. Some of them are scary, others are funny (or both), but many of them have one unfortunate thing in common: they are dangerous. The best and latest example of this danger is the aforementioned Bird Box challenge. Based on the recent movie starring Sandra Bullock, it has people trying to live through the day blindfolded, just as the movie characters are forced to. A few days ago one not very bright 17 years old ...

The machine currently traverses the SPA basin, geological formation on the dark side of the moon and the one depicted in the pictures online.

Anthem is causing quite a mixed feelings among the players. On the one hand it is a new Bioware game, fancy and shiny co-op looting shooter with Iron Man-esque flying suits; on the other hand, well, it is Bioware, an (ex?) kind of cRPGs, now making a co-op lootbox shooter.
