The electronics conference CES 2019 is currently taking place. In it, Apple has announced that its iTunes Movies & TV Shows application will soon be supported by Samsung televisors. Thanks to this people will have access to their iTunes library, as well as iTunes Store, without neccessarily having to use an Apple device. This is a huge change in Apple’s direction; it is very rare for Big A’s apps to work on non-Apple devices. This probably has something to do with the company currently working on its own shows and movies; Apple probably believes that the money made out of ...
Flights from Heathrow have been temporarily called off due to a drone
Perhaps you remember a story from few weeks ago about how some idiot/s with a drone have locked one of London airports for 36 hours. Well, a similiar, albeit much lighter, story have repeated itself. Flights from Heathrow have been called off around 17:05 due to sightings of a drone flying in the area of the facility. We do not know the details of the actions taken against the mechanical menace – police was probably involved, as perhaps was even the military – but the drone must have been caught fast, as first planes took off as early as 19:20.Heathrow airport now considers ...
Japanese billioner is throwing money away on Twitter
Yusaku Maezawa, the owner of the online fashion store Zozotown, has recently announced that he will pay 1 million yen to the 100 people who retweet his message. The message states that Zozotown has made 10 billion yen during the new year’s sale-off – no wonder Maezawa feels like splurging a hundred million on some PR :D. His message has been retweeted 4.5 million times so far, which sets a new Twitter record.And yet, this is not even the most outrageous of billioner’s ideas; on 2023, Yusaku Maezawa will be the first tourist to board Elon Musk’s space ...

Alien: Blackout, or watch out, your phone has bugs
Wanted a proper sequel to Alien: Isolation? Well, you will have to wait. Still, Alien: Blackout may be a cool game, even if it is just a mobile one. Judging by info available online, A:B is a variant on the ”Five Nights at Freddy’s” gameplay, with added element of friendly NPCs which have to be helped in navigating the map and who in turn can help the player. A:B’s plot revolves around Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley and the protagonist of Isolation; unlucky Ripley finds herself on a xenomorph-infested Mendel station owned by, of course, Weyland-Yutani ...

Leaked render of iPhone XI
The leak originates from the invaluable @OnLeaks, with Ice Universe confirming its authenticity. The smartphone’s design is somewhat controversial, to put it lightly, among the fans online, as a great number of people seemingly dislike the triple camera module. I have to admit that it does not look great; functionality is important, yes, but smartphones nowadays, especially those made by companies such as Apple, also need to be pleasing to look at. Apple is reportedly already working on a new Smart Battery Case made specifically with iPhone XI and its ”protrusion” in ...
