Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Today, South Korean Kakao Games reported its quarterly financial results and shared some new details about ArcheAge 2 during the earnings call with investors. The MMORPG announced last year will be different from its predecessor since publisher Kakao Games and developer XL Games are making it specifically for Western players, taking into account console users, whereas the first one was a decidedly South Korean PC MMO. As a result, the large-scale faction PvP is being abandoned while more focus is being put on story-based PvE content (single player and co-op for small parties tackling dungeons). Guild versus Guild PvP strife […]

Google Maps is one of the quintessential Google apps that almost all of us actively use. I know I do every time I have to head out somewhere, and it is one of the best apps in general. The app normally gets updated and there are several features added to make the user experience a lot better. Now, some lines of code discovered within the app suggest that Google could be bringing a chatbot to the app. Google Maps' chatbot could be a very useful feature or something that no one uses Google Maps v11.105 beta includes strings of code […]
Grand Theft Auto 6 is apparently finally getting revealed very soon, but it seems like the game is still more than a year away from release, according to a new report shared online today. Following the Bloomberg report, which said that the next entry in the series by Rockstar Games might be revealed as early as this week, Rockstar Universe shared a new report detailing everything they and RockstarINTEL know about the game. Last month, Rockstar Games co-founder Sam Houser allegedly flew to New York last month to get an update on the game and to take part in a […]

It will be some time until fans of the Mass Effect series will be able to experience the next entry in the series, according to a reliable insider. Commenting on the teasers shared yesterday to celebrate the annual N7 day, Tom Henderson, who proved over and over to be a reliable insider, said not to expect the game for three or four more years. While it is disappointing the series will need something like ten years to continue, this is hardly surprising, considering BioWare is hard at work on the next entry in the Dragon Age series. 3 or 4 […]

Upon its release late last month, Alan Wake 2 earned praise as possibly the best-looking game available to date. This week, Remedy published a lengthy blog post that went into the evolution of its in-house Northlight engine from Control to Alan Wake 2. First of all, the developers switched to a new entity component system (ECS) model, making parallel execution efficient and thus allowing the engine to support a variable amount of hardware CPU cores. In turn, this enables 'bigger, more dynamic and fuller worlds', said Remedy. Indeed, Alan Wake 2 is considerably larger than the first game, and Senior […]

The recent chip wars between the US and China have led to bans across various AI products but if these continue to escalate, then we might see consumer-level product bans. The RTX 4090 ban is just a teaser of what's coming for […]
Google is gunning for iMessage as the advertising giant wishes Apple’s service to fall under the umbrella of the ‘core platform service.’ To help bring its plan to fruition, the company has partnered with several European telecom companies to push the European Commission to force Apple to make iMessage a cross-platform messaging service with other apps such as Google Messages and more. Several telecom companies and Google have sent a letter to the European Union stating that iMessage meets the new Digital Markets Act’s conditions A paywalled report from Financial Times that was spotted by Android Authority states that in […]
