  • Apple Music is the latest addition to Three’s Go Binge platform that allows you to stream video and music to your phone from certain services without using any of your mobile data. Go Binge is a specific plan available to Three customers who have taken the service, and Apple Music is set to join Deezer and Soundcloud as your ways to stream music directly to your phone. You’ll need to pay for the Apple Music subscription itself, but when you’re streaming music from the service it won’t use any of

  • Google is set to issue a software update to the Pixel 2 XL to try and tackle the screen burn-in issues some users have reported on the new phone. Those “steps” include an upcoming software update to tackle the issue of screen burn-in. What’s currently uncertain is the issues we’ve heard of are screen burn-in or just image retention within the display. There’s also going to be a new mode for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL that offers more saturated colors too. Google also hasn’t confirmed whether thi

  • Microsoft may once again be considering taking the term “digital tablet” a touch too seriously. A new report from Windows Central claims the company is experimenting with a foldable tablet it calls “Andromeda,” which you’d essentially use like a digital Moleskine. You’d fold the tablet like a journal, and it’d likely incorporate Microsoft’s advances in digital ink technology. Image credit: Extreme TechIf the new Andromeda device works as planned, that means we’ll have a digital device that’s mor

  • But perhaps because it’s used to the demands of that earlier, slower era, the well-known gaming company has had a rough time meeting the wild demand for new devices like NES Classic , SNES Classic and Nintendo Switch . In the case of the NES Classic, all available units sold out within a matter of days. The SNES Classic and the Nintendo Switch console never reached such extremes, but even now – months after launch – it’s still hard to get your hands on either unit. That scarcity, naturally, has

  • I know I usually do by the time Thursday rolls around, though perhaps “deliriously silly” is a better way to put it. Whatever you’re feeling, Instagram has a new way for you to express yourself on its service with a camera effect called Superzoom. Superzoom records a clip of you (or whatever you’re pointing your camera at), and automatically zooms in closer in comedic fashion. To use Superzoom, first open the camera inside the Instagram app. Once you’ve gotten up close and personal, you can shar

  • The reason I’m here is the culmination of my test of streaming Apple Music on the new Watch 3. Apple Music streaming on the Watch – which is part of the WatchOS 4.1 update – was announced in September, alongside the new Apple Watch 3 and iPhone 8 / X range. It’s not like this was the first time we’d had Apple Music on the Watch, and streamed music didn’t seem that much of a big deal. Quite quickly, one thing becomes apparent: to get the most out of the Apple Music streaming experience, you need

  • The Google Pixel 2 XL is the highest rated camera according to DxO Mark – the industry standard in camera benchmarks – but how does it truly perform in everyday life? To make the camera comparison as fair as possible, we shot multiple pictures across a range of scenarios on all five phones. Next, we laid them out on a grid with no indication as to which phone snapped which picture. With Phil representing the professional camera expert and Gerald representing the everyman, our blind test interrog

  • Bitcoin has been forked once more to create a new cryptocurrency named Bitcoin Gold, although the virtual cash experienced a troubled birth thanks to a cyber-attack on launch day. Bitcoin has already been forked earlier this year, with the creation of Bitcoin Cash in August, and now Bitcoin Gold has come along with the aim of making currency mining a more accessible affair for individuals (as opposed to behemoth mining operations with super-powerful hardware). As Bitcoin Gold announced on Twitte

  • Now that it’s been out for a while, the Nintendo Switch has started to build up a really appealing and increasingly diverse library of games. But that doesn’t make the release of Super Mario Odyssey any less exciting. Super Mario Odyssey is a game that’s all about discovery and exploration. Bearing that in mind, we don’t want to give you a guide that’s too filled with spoilers. They should hopefully make your first steps into this wide open 3D Mario world feel more heroic and less tragically Hom

  • The oft-rumored Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti has finally been unveiled in full, and it’s a beast of a GPU. The Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti comes sporting 2,432 NVIDIA CUDA Cores, well above the original Nvidia GTX 1070’s 1,920 core count. The Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti also sticks with only 8GB of GDDR5 memory. What’s most impressive about the Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti Founders Edition (FE) is its $449 or £449 (about AU$580) price isn’t too far off from the Nvidia GTX 1070 (FE) that costs $399 (£379, AU$699). The Nvidia

  • AMD has officially unveiled its first Ryzen mobile processors (or APUs as the company calls these CPU plus GPU chips), complete with some impressive benchmarks showing them outpacing Intel’s latest 8th-gen offerings for laptops. The wraps were taken off the Ryzen 7 2700U and Ryzen 5 2500U, both of which are quad-core processors with eight-threads and integrated Radeon Vega Graphics. On the speed front, AMD provided a range of benchmarks to demonstrate the power of the new Ryzen chips. AMD furthe

  • Super Mario has become something of a defining character when it comes to Nintendo hardware; Super Mario Bros. effectively sold the NES to the global masses in the ’80s, while Super Mario World was a dream launch title for the 16-bit SNES a few years later. Super Mario 64 would revolutionize the 3D platforming genre and prove the worth of the Nintendo 64’s new-fangled analogue wand, while the Wii’s Super Mario Galaxy gave Mario one of his best outings to date. Super Mario Odyssey isn’t quite as

  • A couple of years ago, I reported on a robotic bee being developed at Harvard. Recently, however, the team has made a breakthrough that allows the robot to once again take flight. The robot has a central gas collection chamber with a electrolytic plate that converts water into oxyhydrogen – a combustible fuel. To take off, all it has to do is ignite that fuel and ride the resulting tiny explosion into the air. The only limitation at the moment is that a lack of on-board sensors means that the Ro
    Harvard's RoboBee can handle water better than a real bee

  • Assassin’s Creed has always claimed that “history is our playground” but Assassin’s Creed Origins may be the first game in the series that truly captures that. As Assassin’s Creed Origins is such a large game, we’ve opted to share our initial impressions with you rather than a final review. While this could be extremely frustrating, Assassin’s Creed Origins is so abundant in XP sources, it’s actually not difficult to get stronger at pace. I have yet to encounter any mind-boggling bugs in Assassi

  • Though visiting Blacksmiths is a fast way to upgrade your weapons and buy new ones, it’s also a money sink. We’d recommend pillaging weapons from powerful bosses during quests rather than spending a lot of money on them in stores. You can also improve the stats and appearance of the items you already have through the crafting system. The items you’re able to craft will do things like improve your health, allow you to carry more ammo and improve your hidden blade. It’s made very clear in this men

  • With the iPhone X, Huawei Mate 10 and Pixel 2 all featuring AI abilities this could be the next big thing in phones, and it doesn’t sound like Samsung plans to be left behind, as there’s evidence that the Exynos 9810 chipset likely to be packed into most models of the Samsung Galaxy S9 will have its own neural engine for AI tasks. Samsung’s interest in the company is apparently down to its neural network-based AI chipsets for portable devices, which makes it sound a lot like Samsung wants to put
