Apparently, a massive Tetris game will make use of both sides of the city’s 29-story Cira Centre as displays.

    You really don't want to watch this guy french kissing a king cobra

    Seriously, why the hell would anyone want to kiss a cobra snake?* The GIF grosses me out, but the video is even worse. That’s when he actually opens his mouth. Ugh.

    Diablo III: Reaper of Souls’ Crusader Revealed

    I am quite sure that all avid gamers out there, especially those who cannot get enough of Blizzard’s Diablo III hack and slash adventure, would have marked March 25th down on their respective calendars as the date where Diablo III: Reaper of Souls will launch. In a move that is most probably meant to whet the appetite of the adoring masses, Blizzard has just introduced a brand new video that will introduce the Crusader class, who happens to be a righteous warrior who ensures that all that is vile and dark will be dispatched of using holy thunder, at the same time managing to ward off vicious attacks and evil of all kinds with a massive shield.

    New Jersey Bans Tesla’s Direct Sales Model

    New Jersey Bans Tesla’s Direct Sales ModelThe New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission has just passed a rule earlier today that will signal the end of Tesla’s direct sales of cars to consumers, being the third state in the country to do so after Arizona and Texas. This might end up as a rather huge blow to Tesla, who happens to be a manufacturer of all-electric cars, as they do not depend on dealerships in order to sell its rides, taking on a very different business model compared to the route that other car companies take. This particular rule would kick in from April onwards.

    Xbox One Chat Adapter Issues Arise

    Xbox One Chat Adapter Issues AriseApparently there are reports of the Xbox One stereo headset adapter experiencing audio issues when it comes to in-game chat, and the folks over at Microsoft have already been alerted to the situation, where they are duly looking into the problem. Some Xbox One owners have complained over on the Astro Gaming forums and Xbox forums that game audio which is sent through arrives fine and dandy, although other players claim that their voice chat is far from being crystal clear, having plenty of distortion and crackling. It seems that only in-game chat audio is affected, while party chat, Skype calls and Upload Studio voice-overs work just fine. I suppose this would eliminate the possibility of a hardware or mechanical problem, but rather, it is more of a software issue.

    ZTE Nubia X6 Set To Feature Optical Image Stabilization

    ZTE Nubia X6 Set To Feature Optical Image StabilizationZTE’s upcoming flagship device, the Nubia X6 smartphone (sometimes, when the word “X6” is mentioned, I tend to think of BMW’s sweet, sweet ride) has been teased yet again, where the smartphone’s rear camera is touted to arrive with Optical Image Stabilization on board. OIS for short, it is starting to end up as one of those standard features found in some higher end smartphone models, never mind the fact that Samsung’s most recent Galaxy S5 lacks that.

    HTC Desire 816 Receives 450,000 Pre-Orders In China

    HTC Desire 816 Receives 450,000 Pre Orders In China Earlier this month, we did mention about how the HTC Desire 816 would arrive in more colors than we originally thought it would, and here we are with word on how the HTC Desire 816 might actually perform in China when it is released in the world’s most populous country. Apparently, this particular mid-range phablet has managed to rack up a whopping 450,000 pre-orders in a matter of three days, and it would not be surprising to hear that the half million mark will be passed in due time. To put it into context, iPhone pre-orders on China Mobile hit the 100,000 mark in just two days, so if one were to extrapolate the same average rate to three days, we would be looking at just 150,000 pre-orders, which is 33% of what the HTC Desire 816 has achieved so far (theoretically speaking, of course).
