Today, Facebook has announced that it is taking further steps to combat people being misled on the social media platform. It is extending the Related Articles feature to articles before the user clicks on them, allowing them to see similar pieces. This is a departure from the current use of Related Articles, where the suggested stories appear after you have finished reading so that you can gain more information. In addition to this, Facebook announced that: “we will start using updated machine l

It seems that people who are looking forward to getting themselves a (rumored) mainstream processor with six-cores from Intel, courtesy of the incoming next-gen Coffee Lake CPUs, won’t be able to drop the chip straight into their existing motherboard – they’ll need to buy an entirely new one. The bad news for those mulling a processor upgrade to Coffee Lake came via Twitter from motherboard manufacturer ASRock, in a tweet which appears to have subsequently been pulled down.

Despite that, we might see it arrive in finished form as soon as next week. That’s according to David Ruddock, who tweeted on Wednesday that we should expect it in about a week, so around August 9 or 10. Android Nougat landed on August 22 last year, so almost a year ago, and prior to the launch of the original Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL, though it did have its dessert name prior to release, which Android O doesn’t yet. I’d look for the official Google Pixel Android O update to land in abou

We know the Huawei Mate 10 will arrive before the end of the year, the company’s CEO has said as much, but we still don’t know exactly when the Huawei Mate 10 launch will be – but a new leak may have given us our best clue yet.

Together with shutter speed and ISO, the aperture setting on your camera is one of the three fundamental elements of exposure. The maximum aperture is noted in the lens – for instance, a Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G sports a maximum aperture of f/1.8, while a Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM features a maximum aperture of f/4.

We’ve heard a number of hardware-related Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rumors regarding leading up to the device’s expected launch in New York on August 23, however, a new leak reported by VentureBeat just might have revealed the upcoming handset’s final specs. According to noted leaker Evan Blass, the Galaxy Note 8 will pack the same Snapdragon 835 chipset that’s in the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus in the US, and Samsung’s Exynos 8895 for the rest of the world.

Microsoft may have inadvertently revealed the plans for its own iPad Touch Cover. WinFuture discovered the unannounced iPad Touch Cover in a battery document posted on Microsoft’s Download Center. There isn’t much revealed in the file other than a product registered as the iPad Touch Cover 1719 and the fact that it contains a lithium battery. Instead, it seems more likely the Touch Cover will connect over Bluetooth and rely on its own energy reserves. If the iPad Touch Cover is anything like the

Given these are the main reasons games from movies tended to be poor, the game tie-in to sci-fi epic The Fifth Element should have been much better than it was. And though it divided critical opinion on release, The Fifth Element was a visually exciting, slightly loopy action-packed sci-fi adventure that given a bit of thought could have made a thrilling video game. Now, however, I know otherwise and I think I can safely say that The Fifth Element was just mechanically a bad game. Still, though

Rumors are beginning to suggest Google’s upcoming Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL may drop the 3.5mm headphone jack with new renders heavily suggest it won’t feature on the new phones. The Pixel 2 renders are not confirmed designs for the phones though, so don’t expect this to be the final look of the phone.

OnePlus is rolling out a new update for its latest flagship phone that will bring more stable 4K video recording to the OnePlus 5. The phone already supported Electronic Image Stabilization for video recording at Full HD resolution, but a new software upgrade will bring it for 4K video recording too.

That’s according to an ‘internal source’ speaking to Android Authority, who added that the LG V30 will have a “floating bar” in its place. That might actually be preferable to a second screen, especially if it can be disabled, though could affect battery life. And it seems odd that LG would ditch a key feature of this line of phones, but a recently leaked diagram of the LG V30 supposedly taken from the phone’s instruction manual also lacks a second screen, so it’s possible. The LG V30 will also

Over the weekend, Apple came under some heavy criticism for removing some VPN apps from its App Store over in China at the behest of the government, so it’s perhaps not surprising to see that Tim Cook has come forward to defend his company’s actions. Apple’s CEO spoke out during the firm’s latest earnings call, noting that the VPN apps had to be removed due to China tightening its regulations concerning virtual private networks – and stipulating that VPN providers must have a licence from the go
