Here’s how to drop the monthly fee and get started with Tubi TV. More importantly, Tubi has a lot of free content available – quite a bit more than Crackle, based on browsing the extensive listings. Tubi doesn’t have a lot of high-profile TV shows, unfortunately, unless you’re into Alf … and why wouldn’t you be? Tubi TV offers no high-profile exclusives, and the vast majority of the noteworthy content is at least several years old at this point. But Tubi TV has a surprisingly large library on

Nintendo has just taken the wraps off a series of cardboard toys that will augment and interact with the Nintendo Switch. It’s part of a program called Nintendo Labo and it’s here to help kids both young and old make, play and discover a whole new universe of experiences. Shown first during a teaser video that aired today on YouTube, Nintendo Labo is a kooky, DIY series of cardboard toys that interlink with the Nintendo Switch to transform the console into everything from a miniature piano to a

A Project Fi unlimited plan has long been missing from Google’s US-only wireless carrier, but today it took a step in the right direction by introducing Bill Protection – even if it’s a half-step. That’s perfect if you commonly go over what you set out to use in your data plan. And the Project Fi unlimited plan is no exception. Things get a little more tricky if you have multiple members in the Fi plan. Here’s a snapshot of the pricing breakdown that Google has put in place for Bill Protection.

Much like an existing Apple facility in Austin, Texas that employs 6,000 people, the new campus will “initially” focus on technical support staff. Apple already employs around 84,000 people in the US, but over the next five years, the company plans to hire more than 20,000 people for both the new campus and existing ones. In that same time period, Apple says, the company will contribute more than $350 billion to the US economy. It’s not clear how many of those 20,000 new employees will be housed

For better or for worse, the latest effort is aimed at appeasing advertisers who wish to avoid accusations that they’re funding problematic users such as Paul. As so often happens, though, it’s the little folks who are getting hurt in the process. Previously, channels merely had to have 10,000 total page views to qualify for the YouTube Partner Program. Google also says in the announcement that it will start manually vetting the channels for its Google Preferred Program for the most popular chan

But that’s changing, Sony, one of the initial developers of the technology got back in the game in 2017 with its new Bravia A1E OLED and will continue production of OLED in 2018 with the Sony A8F OLED TV. OLED TVs have been on the market since 2012, and a variety of manufacturers have tackled the technology over the years. If you’re not big into LG TVs, Sony also offers two OLED TVs: the Sony Bravia A1E OLED from 2017, and the new Sony Bravia A8F OLED for 2018. Image 2 of 9 LG OLED B7 Image 3 of

Even more recently, reports have emerged that Playground Games, the developer behind the Forza Horizon series, is working on the fourth Fable game. If this is true then it’s likely that we won’t see the next Fable game for another few years. In January 2018 Eurogamer said that according to sources close to the project, a brand new high-budget Fable game is in the works. With the knowledge gained from the Xbox Live API Leak, WCCFTech surmised that it must be Playground Games working on Fable. A g

Furthermore, transmitting so much data for the blockchain each time also consumes additional electricity, making the blockchain quite inefficient. However, Bitcoin transactions are painfully slow, with transactions occurring at the glacial pace (at least in the world of finance) of multiple hours for each transaction in some cases. This type of blockchain is known as a public blockchain. So what about a private blockchain? Well, the same blockchain tech can be applied as a storage medium, and if

Darktable – a powerful open source raw image editor previously only available for Linux and macOS – has arrived on Windows. This is particularly good news if you’ve been put off by Adobe’s decision to move all its creative apps, including raw image processor Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC, to a cloud-first subscription service with users’ photos stored on the company’s web servers. Darktable offers many of the same features as Lightroom, and is designed for organizing images and processing raw fil

Less than two years after the closure of Lionhead Studios, Eurogamer is reporting that Microsoft is working on a new mainline Fable game. Just what kind of Fable might Playground be working on? Prior to its closure, Lionhead had been working on Fable Legends, a free-to-play service game with a heavy emphasis on online multiplayer. Microsoft has yet to comment on the rumors so there’s no guarantee that another Fable title is actually in the works. However, in early 2017 Xbox boss Phil Spencer hin

Finally, the same source shared images of the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus and Moto G6 Play, all of which also apparently have super-widescreen 18:9 aspect ratios.

There’s no word on when these phones would launch, but based on past form we might see the Moto G6 range at MWC 2018

Google has removed four malicious browser extensions with a combined total of 500,000 downloads from the Chrome Web Store. Security firm ICEBRG discovered the malicious extensions after it picked up an unusual spike in outgoing network traffic. “Removal of the malicious extension from the Chrome Web Store may not remove it from impacted hosts,” ICEBRG added. Before publication on the Google Chrome Web Store, extensions are subjected to a process called Enhanced Item Evaluation – a series of auto

It all kicks off on February 26, 2018MWC 2018 newsThere’s not much MWC 2018 news yet, but Samsung has confirmed that it will launch the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus at a tradeshow in February, which all but guarantees an MWC launch, since there aren’t any other big mobile trade shows in February. While the above handsets are all likely candidates for an MWC announcement, we wouldn’t count on seeing new phones from HTC at MWC 2018, as the company only recently launched the HTC U11

After last week’s surprise Direct, we weren’t expecting any big Nintendo Switch announcements for a while. However, 2018 appears to be the year Nintendo is aiming to defy expectations. Somewhat out of the blue the company has announced that it will reveal a “new interactive experience” for the Nintendo Switch at 10pm GMT on January 17. However, recent comments from the Nintendo France General Manager Philippe Lavoué suggest that Nintendo is no longer actively interested in the technology. As tor

Has the Bitcoin bubble burst? Around mid-December, Bitcoin hit highs of around $19,500 (£14,130), but as Neowin reports, it has just briefly dipped below $10,000, before recovering slightly to stand a little under $10,300 at the time of writing. The cryptocurrency has seen a meteoric rise lately, and only last October, it was worth around $6,000 (£4,350). And of course the fall in value itself has provoked sell-offs as folks get more nervous watching the Bitcoin diminish. Bitcoin isn’t the only

Called Robot Cache, the service states that its users will be able to purchase games just like on any other digital store. By using it, Robot Cache will be a decentralised service with significantly lower operating costs and reduced fees for developers and publishers. Robot Cache states that it’ll also be possible to earn Iron though mining as well as selling old games. We’ll have to wait until Robot Cache launches later this year to get a better idea of how it will work. In the meantime, it’s p

Sony has released two 4K panel-toting phones in the past – 2015’s Xperia Z5 Premium and last year’s Xperia XZ Premium – and the new phone will once again sit at the top of the company’s wide spreading phone range. The latest rumor suggests Sony will instead switch the name of the top line phones though – it’s rumored to be called the Xperia XZ Pro. Chinese website MyDrivers has published a screenshot of a leaked document referring to the new phone as the Xperia XZ Pro for the first time. Despite

Amazon’s Echo smart speaker range started with just one device, the original Amazon Echo, but has expanded to now include five different devices. Now, as well as a newly revamped standard Amazon Echo you’ve got a beefier Amazon Echo Plus, and the budget Amazon Echo Dot. Amazon has also been hard at work introducing screens into its Echo ecosystem with the Amazon Echo Show and smaller Amazon Echo Spot. Combined with the price premium, the Amazon Echo Plus offers probably the weakest value proposi

Last year, Facebook pledged to spend $1 billion in 2018 on original content for its (still US-only) Netflix and YouTube competitor, Facebook Watch. The 10-part half-hour series, titled Sacred Lies, was announced today at the National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE) conference by Facebook’s director of development and co-founder of CollegeHumor, Ricky Van Veen. As reported by Deadline, Sacred Lies will be based in part on the fairy-tale The Handless Maiden by the Brothers Gri
