It would seem that Samsung’s grown tired of everyone else leaking information about its upcoming Galaxy Note 8 super-phablet and decided to take matters into its own hands, briefly listing the device on its own website before pulling the page again. Interestingly, the phone that appeared on Samsung’s site was the US unlocked version with the model number UZKAXAA, matching the model numbers used for the unlocked Galaxy S8 phones in the US. That suggests the unlocked version might go on sale at th

Spying on your passwordsAlthough many types of technology can be hacked, many cyber criminals are showing an interest in webcams. He says hardware makers often put factors such as speed and affordability before security, creating big opportunities for cyber criminals. “Before there is a real move towards financially motivated hacking of connected devices there will be the ‘hobby hacker

Technology has taken some major strides to break down language barriers in recent times, with translation software from giants such as Google and Microsoft employing some clever tricks. This had led to features like a camera mode – that’s where you simply point your phone camera at a sign to see an instant translation of the words on-screen.

Trevor Sutton, Leisure Equipment Controller for Namco UK, told TechRadar, “First and foremost [mobile games] resonate with the younger audience. “Doodle Jump and Temple Run arcade were two of the first mobile games seen in the UK, which entered the [arcades] in late 2012.

You’re free to make your own minds up but you’ve only got a couple of days to get your predictions finalized, because Android O is arriving on Monday, August 21. O what a beautiful OSOreo would make a lot of sense for the name of the next Android update, as it’s a recognizable brand name in the style of KitKat, which was of course used for Android 4.0. It’s less likely that Google would suddenly switch to underwater creatures like the octopus, but like everyone else we’ll have to wait and see. H

Distributors like Apple and Comcast — in conjunction with studios like Warner Bros. and the Comcast-owned Universal Pictures — are reportedly in talks with movie theaters to negotiate releasing brand-new films just weeks after their theatrical debut, according to Bloomberg. However, months of negotiations seem be at a standstill, as theaters cling to keeping the home release of movies as far from the exclusive theatrical release as possible. Should studios refuse, theaters may choose to boycott

Microsoft might be readying a special Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition, if leaks on two German retail websites are to be believed. Project Scorpio, you may remember, was the codename of the Xbox One X before it was called that, so this new version appears to be a nod to those origins. The Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition looks to feature a blacked-out controller with ‘Project Scorpio’ running down the middle in an electric green font. If Microsoft announces the Project Scorpio Edition during

Going 28 miles-per-hour (45 kilometers-per-hour) on an electric bike is both one of the most frightening and exhilarating things I’ve ever done. However, I wasn’t in a car shielded by a foot of metal, plush lining and crumple zones. Nope I was on a 65 pound, $10,000 (about £7,765, AU$16,230) Stromer ST2 S eBike wearing shorts without a helmet and less than a year of biking experience. But before I could even consider the myriad ways I would end up in the hospital, the electric motor on the Strom

But oatmeal, OATMEAL! Oatmeal sets a precedentIn the past, our Android robo friend has been a promoter of sugar-dense snacks and for good reason: they’re delicious. Naming Android O as “Oatmeal” would be a fresh start to the operating system, just like it’s a fresh start to any day and an integral part of a healthy, balanced breakfast. The glorious, guilt-free snack is the key to a refreshed body, mind and operating system. I realize that Google could opt for Oatmeal Cookie as the name for Andro

However, Spotify is removing that barrier for Google’s smart speaker as it announced that, starting today, Google Home users can now stream Spotify using either Premium or free accounts. This new perk gives Google Home a leg up on Amazon’s competing Echo speakers, which still require a Premium account to play Spotify tunes at the time of writing. ‘OK Google, play Discover Weekly’To get Spotify running on your Google Home, you will need to link your Spotify account to your speaker via the Google

A fresh VPN controversy has reared its head, this time concerning an Android VPN app which was recently released by security firm Kaspersky. The VPN app asks the user for permissions including access to location, calls and contacts, along with device and app history. One reviewer wrote: “Why would a VPN app ask permission to access contacts, location, and phone details?”Another observed: “It’s supposed to help protect my privacy but the permissions ask for too much. Feels like it defeats the pur

There’s a moment a couple of hours into Uncharted: The Lost Legacy that almost perfectly sums up my feelings on the game. A condensed Uncharted experienceUncharted has never felt like a slow-paced series, but The Lost Legacy somehow feels like a much more speedy game than its predecessors. The main protagonist of the four previous Uncharted games is absent from The Lost Legacy, but the game doesn’t feel diminished as a result.
