The one area that Netbooks were able to outperform the Air was in battery, with the much thicker Gateway LT2118u lasting double as long at 11 hours. Even more impressive was the 11-inch Air’s performance in our gaming tests: Most netbooks can’t run 3D games like DiRT 2 and Call of Duty 4 at all, but the Air managed to sustain a frame rate of 23 frames per second while running COD4 at 1024 by 768 resolution and high graphic settings; much of the credit probably should go to the Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics card, which comes standard in every Air model....
One of the brands that seem to transcend to all people of all ages is LEGO. I am continually amazed by how the company continues to create unique products. LEGO Harry Potter products are some of my all-time favorites, and my kids play with LEGO products almost every day. LEGO products aren’t just for offline play, though. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been testing the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime kit...
Now, there’s another app you need to be aware of that could compromise your device. It certainly is a scary app, just worse than you’re led to believe. And even though it’s been removed from Google Play, it’s been downloaded tens of thousands of times. If it’s on your smartphone right now, it could have access to some very sensitive information such as your email username and password. A game even scarier than it pretends to be The latest Android app (that we know of) to pose a risk on the Google Play Store is called Scary Granny ZOMBY Mod: The Horror Game 2019, which was downloaded more than 50,000 times....
MAS*H is one of the greatest comedy series of all time. Set during the Korean War, the series focused on United States Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. To manage the horrors of war they dealt with every day, the doctors and staff frequently leaned into a lot of drinking, partying and pranks on everyone within reach. It was the best way to get by. But over the course of 11 seasons and 256 episodes of this TV show that was based on a movie (that, in turn, was based on a book), some of the jokes the gang played on each other did more damage than intended....
TNW reported on a new trojan discovered by Russian website Doctor Web that installs adware on Macs running all three of most popular browsers: Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Doctor Web demonstrated that the Trojan.Yontoo.1 plugin can display ads on any site by showing it in action on Apple’s own website. Many Mac owners still believe that OS X is immune to viruses and trojans. While it’s true the platform is well protected, a large part of the relative immunity enjoyed by Mac owners has simply been down to blackhat economics: when there were many more Windows machines around than Macs, it was less worthwhile for attackers to target Macs....
Despite the last movie being the most successful in the franchise to date, Madagascar 4 still hasn’t happened - here’s what we know about the animated sequel. The original Madagascar arrived in 2005 and told the story of four pampered Central Park Zoo animals who find themselves shipwrecked on Madagascar and have to tap into their inner instincts to survive. The film’s colorful visuals and likable characters, voiced by the likes of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, and Jada Pinkett Smith, saw it become a sizable hit....
Google’s Android One has hit a roadblock in India. The initial batch of Android One phones launched in India by Google earlier this year failed to set the sales chart on fire, even though they offered extreme value for money. “Since Android One decided not to sell in physical stores during its launch, we as part of modern trade, have decided not to stock Android One either,” said Sangeetha Mobiles MD Subhash Chandra....

XML is used to tag the data, SOAP is used to transfer the data, WSDL is used for describing the services available and UDDI is used for listing what services are available.

Mario Kart Tour has proven to be a hit during its first month of availability, despite one key feature being missing: real-time multiplayer support.

Currently, Mario Kart Tour supports sharing high scores and leaderboards, but actual multiplayer support is nowhere to be found. Starting in December, Nintendo says it will launch a limited beta test of multiplayer support in the app....

Apple has acknowledged problems experienced when using an M1 Mac with ultrawide or super-ultrawide external monitors. M1 Macs don’t seem to recognize the native resolution of these monitors … Macworld spotted an extremely brief support document. The final line suggests, but doesn’t promise, that you might be able to enable a more appropriate resolution through the scaled options, but it’s unclear whether that might include the native resolution. If the supported resolution isn’t available on an ultrawide or super-ultrawide external display connected to your Mac with Apple M1 chip...
The arrival of George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road back in 2015 proved to be a satisfying rush of adrenaline for audiences who had waited 30 years for more Mad Max. Aside from delighting fans, Fury Road also managed to engage an entirely new generation, please huge numbers of critics and even bring in 6 Oscars at the 2016 Academy Awards. Not bad at all for a bizarre post-apocalyptic tale based entirely in a barren desert landscape and with minimal dialogue....
Whether it’s played online or locally, MageQuit is a bewitching party game with compelling combat, a brilliant progression system, and lots of charm. This decade has seen an indie boom of variably clever and wacky party games like Overcooked 2 and Gang Beasts that take a niche core concept and push it to the limit, and MageQuit has thrown its pointy hat into the ring to be among the most entertaining, online or off....

A group of students from Berkeley have demonstrated how malicious commands to Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa can be hidden in recorded music or innocuous-sounding speech. Simply playing the tracks over the radio, streaming music track or podcast could allow attackers to take control of a smart home … The NY Times reports that it builds on research that began in 2016. The 2016 research demonstrated commands hidden in white noise, but the students have this month managed to do the same thing in music and spoken text....

Explore leans heavily on real-world context when giving venue suggestions, guiding you to interesting places events nearby. It takes time of day into consideration, offering breakfast spots in the morning or late-night drinks nearer the witching hour. ather is also considered, meaning that it would ideally not suggest walking 30 minutes to a dinner spot in the rain. Explore also has a spiffier design than it did when it first rolled out—buried in the search bar—earlier this month, with a large background image that changes to match the time of day....
