YouTube Red, paid subscription giving access to, among other things, ad-free videos and the Originals videos, will soon be available for free. As usually, there will be a catch – Originals videos will be available, yes, but only with ads. Of course those of us who still pay for YT Red will see those videos without the advertisements.What do you think about it? Personally I never cared about the Originals videos, but I will be sure to use this chance to see what all the ruckus was ...

I understand that the looks of Office are not a very important part of the suite, but it is nice to know someone cares about them as well. New icons look modern, and what is more important, they are easy to find – something that is pretty important for mobile device users with small displays. Office’s new robes are an effect of Microsoft using the Fluent Design design, which has also been used in new Windows 10 looks. The new icons can be checked out here. Tweet Vote on ...

ROG Phone, the first gaming smartphone made by the Republic of Gamers, is now out in India. It has the pleasure of having no competition in India, as none of the other gaming smartphones – Razer Phone, Xiaomi Black Shark et cetera – have been released there yet. ROG Phone is certainly a fancy looking device, what with its ”aggressive”, very gamer-esque design. Its specs include:– Snapdragon 845 chipset,– 90Hz AMOLED display, 6′, 18:9 aspect ratio,– 8 GB RAM, 128GB/512 GB storage,– Qualcomm Adreno 630 GPU,– 12mpx + 8mpx main camera, ...

Until today, 60 fps Fortnite was only available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles. Its newest, released today, update allows to play the game in 60 fps framerate on mobile devices as well. Not all of them, though – that would be too good. For now, the 60 fps smartphone Fortnite is only out on iPhone Xs, Xs Max i Xr. Is it enough to make one buy a device that is twice as expensive as Nintento Switch? Maybe… no, definitely not. If you already are a happy owner of one of these iPhones, though, all you have to do is download the update and enjoy playing in high framerate.Epic ...

China is plagued by a large number of illegal workshops dealing with extracting precious materials from old smartphones. Gold, silver and copper can all become a bounty of criminals crafty enough to know how to get them. One of such workshops has recently been raided by the chinese police. A whole family from one of China’s innumerable villages have taken part in the operation of illegal recycling. What is so bad about that? Well, nothing, except for litres of toxic waste that the recyclers usually get rid of in unsafe, nature-destroying manner. Primitive and irresponsible material ...

At least that is what he wishes to do. American website news Axios has had an interview with the genius millionaire inventor and occasional douchebag Elon Musk. In this interview, Elon Musk has let out that he hopes it will be possible for him to move to the Red Planet sometime in the future. The man believes that there is a ”70% chance” that that will be possible. People in the know-how believe this to be a pipe dream; radiation on Mars makes it impossible to live there given our current technology. In the future, though? We shall see.Today NASA’s InSight probe will ...

The story begun yesterday and although it was quickly ”fixed”, it will not be forgotten soon. If you asked Siri about Donald Trump – perhaps the president came up in a conversation, or you wanted to make sure you are up to date on the president of the US – you would get a Wikipedia-based article with a rather interesting version of Trump’s picture. As it is doubtful that Apple would select a dick pic to be the face of the article about Donald Trump, the most obvious answer is Wikipedia: someone edited up Trump’s wiki article and the newly put picture was ...

O tempora o mores… Only days after a PR fiasco that was the announcement of Diablo: Immortal, Blizzard is pushing its luck again. This time it was Kotaku who told the world that the gaming giant is working on a mobile Warcraft game.

Pokemon: Go is supposedly very popular among the Warcraft developers team, with the new Warcraft mobile team’s leader, one Cory Stockton, reportedly being a huge Pokemon fan in general. Those who managed to play the game’s early version say ...
