On October 11th, Samsung and Google will be unveiling the next flagship Nexus phone at the Samsung Unpacked event, tentatively named – the Nexus Prime.

According to a Spanish website, the Moto E will include a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of built-in memory, which is expected to be expandable, of course. The possible display of the Moto E could be a 4.3 inch panel with a potential resolution of 720p. The device is said to pack a 5MP main camera and a front-facing one probably with a sensor of not more than 2MP....

Dong Nguyen, the developer of Flappy Bird had taken down the app mysteriously from both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, and later revealed that the reason behind his decision was that the game was getting extremely addictive. Well, his newest creation isn’t much different. When we tried it for a brief time, we could hardly get scoring. Instead of an ugly bird, we now have an incredibly sensitive copter....

Guest post by Lior. As controversial as ad blocking is, there’s no doubt that it is popular. Adblock is the most popular Chrome extension as of this writing, with more than double the users of its nearest extension. Millions of surfers are at least installing ad blocking applications and, though many sites complain about the practice, it is clearly a trend that is here to stay. As a web publisher, this is not something we personally like to suggest, since many publishers and bloggers depend upon such ads for their livelihood....

And one more thing… Guess who got the phone number 888-888-8888? Well, he ended up getting hundreds of wrong number calls, often from babies ended up hitting those keys while playing with phones. Even Steve Wozniak could not handle that!

The DJI Spark weighs in at 0.6 pounds and is apparently the thinnest and the lightest drone that DJI has ever made. What’s surprising is the price tag, every DJI product until not cost nearly a $1000 and with the Spark, DJI has bought the starting price point for half of what it used to be. Now since it’s a cheaper, smaller and lighter drone, most of us might already judge the DJI Spark and presume that it has ditched some of the most important features, however, that doesn’t seem to be the case here....

With this in mind, software developers from all over the world came up with digital storytelling – this enables children to write stories of their own, directly on their parents’ mobile phones. The recent increase in the general use of mobile technologies is responsible for the modernization of traditional storytelling, and for it going mobile. For the same reason, we find ourselves holding a tablet or phone more often than we use a pencil, which is why I’m always amazed by the amount of great apps allowing kids to create, imagine, dream, and write....

When dual cameras were first introduced, they seem to be a feature only for high-end devices, but as they became more popular, the camera couple found its way to the mid-range segment of smartphones. And one of the super tall claims that almost all companies are making is, “DSLR-like” photography experience – and by that, they mean delivering bokeh (in simple English “blurred background”). Almost every phone with dual cameras is now being compared to a DSLR as if two sensors and a blurry background are all it takes to make a DSLR....

Using Shortcuts, you can now automate various operations/actions on your Mac, everything from resizing and batch renaming images to sending delayed text messages and tiling app windows. Not just that, though, Apple is also offering you the ability to run shortcuts from your iPhone/iPad on Mac—that too, right from the menu bar. So now, you don’t have to open the Shortcuts app every time you need to run a shortcut on your Mac....

ACROSS 1 The Honor 8 Pro hashtag that took a poke at the OnePlus 5. (4,2,6) 4 The phone is still around, with a 5.2-inch display that would do a Kindle proud. Yoda would approve.

But that is not all that has changed. The past years have also seen the Redmi Note lineup get long. Very long. From a single Note a year, Xiaomi moved to two Notes a year; fast forward to today, the Redmi Note 11 lineup this year already has five different Redmi Note 11s in the series. While this presents users with more choices, it also means buying a Redmi Note phone is not as simple as ‘adding the phone to your cart....

The app is unintuitively called “Car Info Vehicle Registration” and it’s available on both Android play store and iOS app store. By inputting just the registration number of any Indian vehicle, you can get its various official data such as owner’s name, registration date, vehicle age, vehicle maker, registering authority, fuel type, even the engine number, and the chassis code. The interface is quite straightforward, on the main page, you get a single text box where you have to type in the registration number....

WeChat has provided tools (mostly APIs) to other companies to set up their own accounts in the chat app. These accounts can then be used for promoting products/services, interacting with customers, etc. The end result has been that WeChat is now an integral part of consumers’ mobile lifestyle in China and a big contributor to its parent company Tencent’s profits. Looking at WeChat’s amazing growth and financial performance, Facebook planned to do something similar for Messenger....

Even if Apple has added three new colors for the iPhone 5s: grey, gold and silver, replacing the traditional black and white, you might still look for some cases, mainly in order to offer your new smartphone the protection it needs or just to add an extra style. Even if pre-orders for the iPhone 5s have just started, the are already cool cases available, probably because the iPhone 5s retains the same size, despite of many previous rumors that were suggesting Apple is going to increase it....

Guest Post by Melissa. Do you have a special geek/nerd in your life? True to holiday tradition, you either show someone that you care by spending time with them, or you get them something nice. And let’s be honest, nerds tend to be so introverted they will appreciate nice things more than time spent. So, let’s take a look at some of the best gifts you can give your favorite geek this year....

Online privacy has started to sound like an oxymoron! Every e-mail (confidential or not) you send is sent as a plain text and if intercepted, it will just be a sitting duck with no protection whatsoever. There are multiple ways to automatically encrypt text messages and emails using some kind of hash functions like MD5, SHA1 etc. Of-course you can setup Outlook for encryption, but it’s very technical and requires lots of other services in order to work correctly....

This way, you can connect to the net via your camera the same way as you’d do with your cellphone. All you need to do is to create a hotspot using the internet-connected device, and then you’re ready to go. There are two or three well-known brands out there that costs quite a bit, but we also found a few less expensive ones that are worth a try. Having a Wi-Fi SD card is turning into a more democratic thing since we started having options for only $50 or even less to buy online....

Since that moment on, “selfie” gained a lot of popularity. Part of the reason why this happened has to do with the increasing number of social networks users. Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Snapchat are just a few examples of where one could share a self-taken photo. Some mobile companies came up with innovative ideas for their Selfie smartphones to make it easier to take a good selfie, but what if a smartphone’s camera is just not enough?...
