THQ Nordic has been shopping hard lately – after buying the Kingdoms of Amalur and Alone in the Dark brands (both good but now forgotten), it is time for them to obtain true king of 90’s gaming, Carmageddon. Mix of car race and, for the lack of a better term, gorefest has been one of the best games of 1997, offering players a high quality racing game with an (un)healthy dose of blood mixed in. Sequels, unfortunately, have been gradually losing interest; the latest one, Carmageddon: Reincarnation from 2015 has passed with hardly anyone noticing. Here is to hope that THQ Nordic, a ...

There is no end to grand data thefts in sight – Facebook was the biggest, but not the only victim (culprit?) of such crimes. E-thieves’ newest victim is Quora. In case you do not know Quora, it is basically the greatest Q&A forum in the world, with a large number of dedicated and, presumably at least, skilled members that provide high quality posts in response to people’s inquiries. Sadly, this peaceful corner of the web has been targeted by hackers. Cybernetic evildoers have taken data such as names, e-mail and IP addresses and Quora browsing history. Passwords have ...

News of the day: the war between the popular coffee store line and pornography website has begun. Long story short, the whole ruckus started when Starbucks got fed up with people using its free wifi to watch porn. Wanting to put an end to this rigamarole, the store put out a ban on porn in its restaurants. Well, not a complete ban – while it is now impossible to watch hardcore porn in Starbucks, you can still watch ”adult movies” there – I will let the fans of both figure out the difference. YouPorn did not take kindly to it; its riposte was to ban its employees from ...

Chrome OS and Android may be the most popular operating systems on the market, but that does not mean that Google does not want to one up itself.

We now know that the device will be released on smartphones, PCs, tablets and Home Hub smart loudspeaker or, in other words, for most electronics that there are in most people’s homes.

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.

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 ...
