LG Promises It’s G6 Will Be A Multitasking Beast

The LG G6 has not been released yet but all the signs point to a much-improved flagship device this year after the flawed G5 modular experiment. Leaks, as well as carefully prepared Press shots, have given us some idea of what to expect with this device, though. For one thing, LG has shelved the modular experiment and by all indications, plastic, as well. This should be the first all metal flagship that is released from LG. It was the last holdout from the previous era of smartphones, although, HTC seems to be going back to integrating plastic in its products.

Facebook Is Going For LinkedIn’s Throat

Facebook is getting ready to eat LinkedIn’s lunch as it allows companies to post job listings on their company pages. Facebook has over a billion daily users now and its algorithms are finely tuned to bringing people the content that they want to see. This means that job hunting could be as easy as ‘liking’ the company page and then getting regular updates on your news feed. It will definitely help save job hunters some time and possibly eliminate the need for them to pay LinkedIn for extra features as well. Recruiters could possibly pay to ensure their job postings

The Terminator Conundrum – Will AI Become The Ultimate Weapon Of Destruction?

These days arms race is starting to expand again. After the fall of USSR, a couple of decades passed with the biggest military powers staying on good terms one with another. The US were the ultimate player in the world, and the state of homeostasis lasted until the second half of the last decade. When you have one power above them all, things are easy, simple, and far from escalating. On the other hand, ever yregime that doesn’t fit the US plans would end up being wiped from the face of the world. While the status quo we lived in

Japan Has Plans To Build The World’s Largest Floating Solar Power Plant

Solar power is a solid source of renewable energy, but the problem some countries face is the lack of unoccupied land on which solar plants could be built on. Japan is among the countries with the least amount of unoccupied land, land that could be spared for building huge solar power plants. Since out planet is made mostly out of water surfaces, the question arises – could we use water surfaces for solar power plants? Of course, we have, and Japan is one of the countries hosting such plants. The concept isn’t exactly new since there have been similar projects

uBeam Just Blew Our Minds With Its Technology Demonstration

It is not often that we get a technology demo that seems truly magical anymore. Maybe it’s just cynicism from covering technology all the time or being wary of claims that sound to be good to be true from companies like Theranos or just the fact that true technological leaps are rare. This is exactly what uBeam was promising and to our delight, exactly what they delivered. The company promised to showcase true wireless charging in a ‘closed demo’, an odd choice then to invite technology journalists from leading publications. This is not wireless charging as we are used to

New Report Unveils A Dramatic Increase In Malvertising During 2016

Malvertising is a dark side of internet marketing. The number of pages containing malvertising ads is increased dramatically over the years, especially on mobile devices. Since ad blockers aren’t so prominent in the mobile world, many sites use malvertising to redirect users to pages containing malware, usually followed by obnoxious vibrating notifications. On the PC, malrvetising is also prominent, mostly with various streaming sites. The malicious ads are usually hidden from the user, mostly in the form of a “pop under” ads that are mostly unnoticed until it’s too late. 2016 saw a dramatic rise of malvertising, with many experts

Cellebrite, Company That Helped FBI To Hack An iPhone Used By The San Bernardino Attacker Got Hacked, iPhone Hacking Tools Leaked Online

If you remember, after San Bernardino terrorist attack, which took place during late 2015, FBI asked Apple to unlock the iPhone 5c used by one of the attackers, in an effort to uncover evidence that could give the police new findings of the case. Apple responded by stating that it can’t help the FBI because if the company made the potential unlock tool, the tool could make iPhone security encryption obsolescent if ended in wrong hands. FBI tried to make Apple unlock the iPhone by a couple of court orders, but the Cupertino giant refused to do so because of
