We’re not quite done yet when it comes to 2019 smartphone launches, because Nokia has teased a launch event via Twitter: the “newest addition to [the Nokia] family” appears on December 5. We’re only guessing at this point as to which phone might be next to see the light of day from Nokia. The most recent batch of Nokia phones we saw were the Nokia 7.2 and the Nokia 6.2 in September. NokiaPowerUser has some newly leaked shots of what is purportedly the Nokia 9.1, with the five camera lenses on th

Soko Loco Deluxe is a train tycoon with simple, relaxing gameplay and an adorable lofi aesthetic. Soko Loco Deluxe definitely deserved the treatment. Soko Loco is a nice change of pace from games like Transport Fever or Railway Empire or Mashinsky, all of which I love, but which can get quite complex at times. The design of Soko Loco simplifies the whole genre down to a puzzle of limited space, placement, and optimization. They released the original Soko Loco on itch.io a little over a year ago,

A recent report has suggested that Capcom is currently developing a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, with a plan to release it sometime in 2020. And that was before Resident Evil 2 knocked it out of the park with its sales. At the moment, much of Capcom’s focus is likely to be on its multiplayer Resident Evil spin-off known as Project Resistance, which had a closed beta earlier this year. This makes it pretty difficult to try and predict when we might hear more about a possible Resident Evil

WASHINGTON — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Sunday that the two weeks of public hearings produced “overwhelming evidence” that President Donald Trump conditioned official acts for favors from Ukraine that would benefit his re-election bid, arguing that it’s “urgent” for the House to move forward with its impeachment inquiry. Still, Schiff said he felt confident that the five days of open hearings with 12 witnesses produced clear evidence against the president even without

A top Wall Street economist is lowering his recession forecast. But Barclays’ Michael Gapen warns it’s too early to give the U.S. economy the all-clear. “The bad news in that report is the services side of the economy seems a little weaker than expected.” “What the market and economy needs to know is we’ve hit peak tariffs and they’re likely to come lower,” said Gapen. “I still think on balance the comments around U.S. trade discussions are positive,” Gapen said.

Here are some issues Bloomberg cares about and the industries they would affect. Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, which he helped found in 2014, has become a powerful voice in the battle over gun legislation. The group’s focus on retailers expands beyond major chains to unlicensed sellers, which can allow for loopholes to background checks. Everytown is in favor of a bipartisan proposal in support of mandatory background checks for gun purchases, H.R. J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America and

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has asked for the resignation of Navy Secretary Richard Spencer amid controversy over the handling of a case involving a Navy SEAL convicted of illegally posing for pictures with the corpse of an ISIS fighter. Spencer had reportedly threatened to quit his post after President Donald Trump intervened in the case of Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher. The Navy Secretary had denied over the weekend that he had threatened to resign. Trump said in a Twitter post Sunday that Sp

The Nunes team’s scrapped trip to Ukraine has not been previously reported, nor have the meetings that Bondy said his client arranged in place of the overseas trip. The meetings took place in late March, and Derek Harvey, a senior investigator for Nunes, represented the congressman, according to Bondy. CNN first reported Friday that Parnas wanted to testify before the House Intelligence Committee about the Vienna trip. The latest allegations about the planned trip to Ukraine this spring, however

Here’s a nifty tidbit, as spied by Destructoid: Konami’s Yie Ar Kung Fu, almost 35 years old and one of the first games to set forth the standards of the fighting games genre, is available now for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Still, for video games historians, Yie Ar Kung Fu is an important work. It and Data East’s Karate Champ (1984) established the one-on-one, side-by-side convention that is used by fighting games across the board today. Yie Ar Kung Fu, which I only ever saw at a skating

That’s according to a new study on anticipated Thanksgiving weekend wait times at the nation’s top 25 airports for international arrivals from Airside Mobile, developer of the Mobile Passport smartphone app. The projected wait times apply to U.S. citizens only. “On the reverse, Orlando is a relatively low volume airport where the wait times are very painful,” said Merfert. Users of Mobile Passport or programs like Global Entry wait one-fifth as long as the hoi polloi on arrival, according to Air

Disney’s “Frozen II” catapulted to the top of the weekend box office with a $127 million opening weekend haul. The movie’s haul was in-line with analyst expectations, which called for it to garner between $100 million to $140 million. It had the third-highest animated feature opening of all time, behind “Incredibles 2” and “Finding Dory,” and out performed the first “Frozen’s” $93 million opening haul, which it made over the course of five days during the 2013 Thanksgiving weekend. “Frozen II” p

Sleman Alshallah, 40, and his family prepare to flee the advancing Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army in the northern Syrian village of Am Alkef on November 6th, 2019. Only around 15,000 have made it to northern Iraq, while the rest search for clean water and shelter in Syria. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s military sat at the border as fighters in northern Syria beat back IS in 2014. He also said he would resettle at least a million Syrian refugees, now living in Turkey, into those areas

But the debate about Microsoft’s tactics resurfaced this week after the company published user numbers for its Teams chat product, which competes with Slack. Specifically, Microsoft said Teams now has 20 million daily active users, compared to the 12 million users Slack claimed as of October. Some are speculating that Microsoft is juicing the numbers by including as active users people who boot up their computer without intentionally opening Teams. “Microsoft Teams reaching 20 million users is c
