By the end of September, Apple will almost certainly have unveiled its new iPhone models for this year – but until then we’re left with leaks, rumors and speculation when it comes to predicting what’s ahead. Another piece of the 2017 iPhone puzzle just showed up online, in the form of an image showing molds for three iPhone models. Published on Weibo and reported by 9to5Mac , the picture shows chassis molds for the iPhone 8 , the iPhone 7S , and the iPhone 7S Plus , the three handsets that had b

Main image: The Walking Dead games from Telltale Games pushes filmic narrative to the fore rather than fast-paced action. Films have a beginning, a middle and an end; games have all of that and a continue. Games can be influenced by cinematic techniques, but the relationship doesn’t seem to go the other waySo where does this leave us?

More popular versions of Linux such as Ubuntu focus on enhancing the user experience by automatically updating packages and providing flashy, resource-heavy GUIs. While user-friendly distributions (distros) certainly have their place, in this guide, we’ve tried to get back to the glory days when developers would customise their Linux build.

Last weekend the WannaCry ransomware infection caused havoc in hundreds of countries and across hundreds of thousands of machines, and in the immediate aftermath of the hit, many were pointing the finger at outdated versions of Windows XP for allowing WannaCry to cause so much damage.

Last August we got wind of a brand new operating system in development at Google, codenamed Fuchsia. At this week’s Google IO 2017 event in Mountain View, Android’s Dave Burke shed a little bit more light on the mysterious, upcoming platform. The early rumors were that Fuchsia could eventually replace Android, or Chrome OS, or both – Google hasn’t revealed much about the OS, but we do know that it’s being built from scratch for modern-day devices, and we’ve seen a sneak peek at its interface. “F

I was given the rare opportunity to customize a Pagani Huayra Roadster using a HTC Vive. The car would cost a gut-wrenching €2.3 million (before VAT) in real life, but because I was doing it in VR I was able to spray it bright green on a whim. Although I got to make the car look like my own, the customization options were limited. It means you can get in close to areas of the car you usually wouldn’t be able to see in real life.

Not to be confused with Android Auto, Google’s first volley at connected cars, what Google is showing off, and a new part of its plan for the future of connected cars, is the Android OS as we know it. Android in the car, the best term to describe Google’s efforts, infuses the operating system in nearly every corner of a vehicle. It’s important to note that Audi’s Q8 is a concept, and its Android system was not hooked up to control in-car functions such as rolling down the windows. A big part of

“This time, things will be different,” or so Google says with each major dessert-flavored Android release that it pushes to phones and tablets. But looking at Android Marshmallow and Android Nougat over the past two years proves that’s not entirely true. Android Go is a resource-light branch of Android O that can run on devices with as little as 512MB of RAM. But, if you do have money to spend, Project Treble will ensure that your device of choice will have the latest updates faster than ever. I

Apple CEO Tim Cook has been spotted by staff at the Palo Alto campus wearing a prototype blood glucose monitor. Sources confirmed to CNBC that: “Cook was wearing a prototype glucose-tracker on the Apple Watch”. Cook has previously been open about wearing a glucose monitoring device, but it hasn’t been clear whether this was an Apple device, or the device of another manufacturer. By being a device for ‘healthy’ people to measure their blood glucose, the Apple Watch could avoid these checks, altho
