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. According to Kotaku, it is supposed to be an augmented reality game similiar in style to Pokemon: Go. 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 ...

American cellphone network Verizon is working on starting a new communication standard, one that will replace both SMS as well as Messenger and other similiar communicators. The new standard is called RCS, which stands for Rich Communication Suite. RCS will allow to send multimedia files and text that weights even 100 megabytes – much more than the currently available 200 kilobytes of an MMS, whether these files be audio or video. It will have all the usual Messenger amenities such as location recognition and text delivery confirmation. The only bad side of RCS is that it requires a ...

Lately Google tries hard to make us keep using its Maps. They recently added the accident and speed camera report systems; today the gossip of a new function spreaded into the Internet. According to it, Google Maps will be receiving its own messenger soon.

What I do know is that it will cause the app to be even more ...

One rather cranky Fallout fan tried to get a refund for his copy of Fallout 76. GameStop store did not agree to the man’s proposal, per its return policy. The owner of the game did not take that lying down and, instead of agreeing to the facts, threw a tantrum and demolished the story on his way out. Well… When good video games come out, people try their hardest to buy a copy; when bad ones come out, they try their best to return them. This clip is probably a pretty good Fallout 76 ...

The game is being made by Niantic, the same guys who brought us Pokemon Go. It was supposed to be released this year, but there has been a delay; its new release date is ”sometime in 2019”.

Mark Zuckerberg recently urged his employees to stop using their iPhones (if they had one in the first place) and get themselves Android devices instead. The official reason for that is that… Zuckerberg is upset about Apple; Tim Cook says a lot of bad (but not wrong) things about Apple’s privacy policy. According to Apple Insider, Zuckerberg got enough of this and does not want to see the now-hated apple logo anywhere near him.Some people believe that the real reason for Mark Z’s war on Apple is the fact that the fruit company is becoming a market rival for FB. Apple has ...

The fact that Apple intentionally makes it difficult for us to fix our devices anywhere else than in their shops is nothing new; what is new is that Apple has officially admitted doing so. In an interview with American newssite The Verge, Apple has stated that the T2 chip built into their devices makes it impossible to replace either their motherboard or the Touch ID elements. Attempt to have them replaced in an unauthorized shop will block the device, after which it can only be unlocked at the Apple store.What do you think about this? On the one hand, repairs done by an official Apple ...
