Technology News from the World's Most Influential Companies
Google got kicked out of China in 2010 because the company refused to submit to what is famously known as the “Great Firewall of China”, which requires companies operating in the country to submit to government censorship and keep customer data ready for authorities’ consumption as and when they need it. That’s not something our…
It is widely known that Google has no intention of stopping with the Google Pixel line of smartphones. The company has already confirmed its plans for the second lineup of Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL smartphones, along with a possible third, larger phone currently going under the codename Taimen. But a recent…
As intelligence agencies around the world keep chasing large tech companies, asking them to turn over customer data, tech companies are finding very little space to maneuver. Remember when candidate Donald Trump tore into Apple, calling the tech giant “disgraceful” for rejecting a court order to unlock one of the San Bernardino attackers’ phones to…
Microsoft launched its virtual smart assistant Cortana via iOS and Android apps last year in the United States, and more recently in the UK. Now, Microsoft is digging deeper into the Android system by pushing an update that now puts Cortana right on your lock screen on Android devices. The Windows 10 smart assistant is quite…
Now that iOS 10.3 is almost ready for a public release, the online ‘noise’ about a possible iOS 10.3 jailbreak is simply unbearable. Fakes mixed with highly unreliable hacks and then infused with a bit of authentic-sounding jargon – and that’s the best case scenario. The worst is websites that take you to scam surveys…
As you might know, Android O, the successor to the Android Nougat mobile operating system from Alphabet’s Google was released to developers as a preview earlier this week. The new mobile OS for Android devices is currently available as Developer Preview 1 (DP 1) for Nexus and Pixel devices, and we’ve covered some of the…
Gaming icon Nintendo is releasing Super Mario Run, its very first mobile game for Android, on March 23, 2017, 99 days after it launched on iTunes for iOS devices. As of now, you can pre-register for Super Mario Run on Google’s Play Store, which could be a marketing ploy because it’s going to be available to…
We’ve known for some time now that Alphabet will be launching two new Pixel smartphones this year – the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL – but information has recently emerged about a third, much bigger device from Google that may not have the Pixel branding. Codenamed Taimen (the Eurasian giant trout, and…
Yesterday, when we spoke about the jailbreak community moving in fits and starts, we didn’t know how true that would prove. After we published that article, famed security researcher Luca Todesco tweeted that a JailbreakMe 102 tool might be released when Apple releases iOS 10.3 to the public. We’ve now learned that his plans stand…
Is there an iOS 10.2.1 jailbreak or iOS 10.3 jailbreak right around the corner? The problem with movement within the jailbreak community is often a long period of silence followed by a sudden surge in activity by several key members, followed by a release either in beta or public. Case in point is the long…
Yet another beta version for iOS 10.3 has been released alongside macOS 10.12.4 beta. Both betas are the seventh version of the respective operating systems. The new betas are currently available to registered Apple developers and public beta testers, so if you’re neither of those, don’t expect to see the update waiting for you. With…
If you’re one of the early adopters rocking a smartwatch, odds are that you proudly check notifications at meetings, are the first to know the latest news and headlines, and carefully monitor your heart rate, steps, and myriad other bodily functions.

Love him or hate him, when Peter Thiel, billionaire investor in Facebook, one of the very few Trump supporters in Silicon Valley and the man who helped Hulk Hogan go after Gawker Media, talks about technology, it’s better to drop everything and listen. CNBC reported that Peter Thiel, at CERAWeek by IHS Markit, an energy…
Yesterday, we wrote a piece on augmented reality headsets from Bridge now being available for pre-order. The options for ordering are with and without the Structure Sensor, the component that’s essential for an augmented reality experience. The Bridge mixed reality headset is essentially for use with iPhone 6 and 6s, and iPhone 7, but now,…
In early December 2016, we did a story on Bridge, a new augmented reality product from Occipital. It was the first product to try and fill the deep VR chasm that Apple’s iOS users find themselves in, and brought in mixed reality – the augmented reality that uses virtual elements rendered on a real-world backdrop – to iPhone…
