Apple has been granted a new patent by the USPTO (via AppleInsider), and it’s one that could potentially prevent a lot of careless driving. The tech described in the patent would use a phone’s on-board sensors, or a direct connection to a car using a technology like Bluetooth to limit the device’s functionality, cutting off access to stuff like SMS and email while you’re… Read More
Remember when Ridley Scott asked people to record videos to be compiled into the Life in a Day movie? Bryan Pijanowski, Purdue University’s Soundscape ecologist, wants to repeat the task today, but with audio rather than video. He’s developed the…
This week, the world’s nations gather to discuss the influence the US wields over the internet and in particular ICANN—the web’s logistical core. But who, exactly, should have the keys to the internet?
It was back in 2011 that the folks at Naughty Dog released Uncharted 3 but since then we’re sure many are wondering what has become of the franchise and if we might see an Uncharted 4 in the near future. The good news is that the game is apparently alive and well, at least according to industry insider, Tidux, who recently tweeted that the game is expected to make an appearance at E3 2014.
According to Tidux, the game has apparently been in the works ever since the studio released Uncharted 3, meaning that the developers have been working on the title for the past 3 years. Now there is a legitimate reason behind gamers’ worry about the franchise, namely because there have been quite a few employees at Naughty Dog who left roughly around the same time.
This would seem to indicate that there could be some trouble in the studio which could lead to either a delay or possibly even cancellation of the game, but thankfully that does not appear to be the case.
Naughty Dog has yet to confirm this themselves but with E3 2014 taking place in a couple of month’s time, we guess we won’t have to wait too long to see if the rumors pan out. In the meantime who else is looking forward to a new Uncharted game?

We’re sure that there are some of you guys out there who remembers playing Fatal Frame. Just in case you’re not familiar with the title, it’s basically a horror game in which you walk around the game taking photos, and sometimes in those photos ghosts appear which can be admittedly pretty freaky.
That being said we haven’t really heard much about the franchise for quite a while now and the good news is that it is not dead! According to a recent report on Famitsu, it seems that Tecmo Koei and Nintendo are working on bringing a new Fatal Frame title onto the Nintendo Wii U console.
Unfortunately not much is known about the upcoming game such as its release, its features, and so on, but we guess it’s better than nothing, right? However given how ZombieU took great advantage of the Wii U’s Game Pad, we can only assume that the upcoming Fatal Frame title will do the same as well.
Heck if you thought it was scary before, we can only imagine that with the Game Pad acting as a secondary display, things are about to get freakier. In the meantime there is a live action movie based on the franchise that is expected to make its way into Japanese cinemas this year, but in the meantime who else is excited at the idea of a new game?

Apple and Samsung are currently embroiled in a legal battle with one another, with each side claiming patent infringement. This war between Apple and Samsung has been going on for quite a while now and it looks like things aren’t about to end anytime soon. That being said, it looks like Apple might have had enough of Samsung making fun of them and have recently released an ad that seems to poke fun at the South Korea tech giant.
As you can see in the ad above, the slogan reads, “There are some ideas we want every company to copy.” This is obviously a poke at Samsung whom Apple is accusing of copying their product designs and patents. The ad in question is with regards to Apple’s recent efforts at making their data centers greener. The company was recently praised by the folks at Greenpeace for having a green data center and we guess Apple is making efforts to keep it up.
In case the words are a bit too small to be read, the ad reads, “There’s one area where we actually encourage others to imitate us. Because when everyone makes the environment a priority, we all benefits. We’d be more than happy to see every data centre fuelled by 100% renewable energy sources. And we eagerly await the day when every product is made without the harmful toxins we have removed from ours.”
“Of course we know we can continue to do better. We’ve set some pretty ambitious goals for reducing our impact on climate change, making our products with greener materials and conserving our planet’s limited resources. So the next time we come across a great idea that can help leave the world better than we found it, we look forward to sharing.”
Apple has also recently announced that they will be accepting functioning and non-functioning older Apple products in their bid to recycle them to prevent the toxins from seeping into the earth and water.

Does your internet always seem too slow? Chances are, it is: a study by the Wall Street Journal suggests that the majority of ISPs deliver slower speeds than they advertise.
Many countries are (understandably) unhappy with the influence the US wields over the internet, and in particular its control of ICANN, the web’s “back end.” The Department of Commerce has agreed to give up its oversight of the body, and is meeting…
