A few days ago we reported that it was possible that the new “game changing” product that OnePlus was planning on launching could be a drone. As it turns out it looks like all the speculation was right on the money as the company has officially announced the OnePlus DR-1 drone, although we’re not sure what exactly it is about the DR-1 that makes it a game changer per se.
The OnePlus DR-1 drone is tiny we’ll give it that. It spans about 70mm wide which should have no problems fitting in your palm or slipping into a bag, or maybe a pocket if you have extra baggy pants. However what’s disappointing is that a controller will still be needed to control the drone versus using a smartphone app so it’s not as portable as we thought.
The drone has a flight time of 7-8 minutes and can be fully recharged in 20 minutes, and we suppose the best part of it all is that it will cost you a very affordable $20. making it one of the more affordable drones we’ve seen, although given its size we doubt that you will be able to attach a camera to it and use it to record cool videos.
The OnePlus DR-1 will be available for purchase via the company’s website, but according to the company it will be a special edition product and is limited in quantity, so you’ll probably want to place a pre-order before they run out of stock. So, any takers?

Apple and Samsung are rivals, needless to say, so we’re sure everyone is wondering just how well does the iPhone 6 compare against the Samsung Galaxy S6 in terms of speed? Sure there are plenty of benchmarks and tests that have been done, but if you’re looking for a more real world example, YouTube channel Android GameE has put together a video that shows off the speed of both phones.
Now the thing with such tests is that the tests aren’t exactly scientific per se as it does involve a user pressing buttons on the screen, and pressing it a few milliseconds off will end up contributing to a slightly different time, but like we said it’s more representative of real world usage so if you’re still on the fence regarding which phone to get, hopefully this video will help with that decision.
So far in the video it definitely looks like the Samsung Galaxy S6 is leading the way in terms of opening apps while the iPhone 6 seems to be lagging behind noticeably, however it seems that when it comes to loading apps such as games, the iPhone 6 does not take too long and that’s where it starts to make up for lost time. Overall it does appear that the Galaxy S6 is faster by around 8 seconds, so perhaps that’s worth taking into consideration.

We’re not sure how many of you guys remember MS-DOS from back in the day, but if you do, you might be interested to learn that Microsoft has launched MS-DOS mobile which they’re hoping will become an alternative to the Windows Phone platform. Before you start freaking out, we’re kidding, although Microsoft has indeed launched a MS-DOS app for its Windows Phone platform.
This is probably one of the more elaborate April Fool’s pranks we’ve seen and for the most part it looks like the app really does work like MS-DOS. Users will be able to navigate the app by typing in familiar MS-DOS commands such as “dir” and “cd” to find their way around the app. There’s even a “camera.exe” file in the app that let’s users launch the camera to take a ASCII or CGA selfie.
For those looking to play some games, Microsoft added a Rock Paper Scissors game that takes you back to the good old days, and typing in “WIN” will also preview the glory days that was Windows 3.1. It’s a pretty hilarious and fun app and if you’d like to take it for a spin, you can do so by heading on over to the Windows Phone Store for the download. Unfortunately it looks like iOS and Android users will not be getting in on the fun.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Iran nuclear negotiators resumed talks here Wednesday, just hours after abandoning a March 31 deadline to reach the outline of a deal and agreeing to press on. However, as the discussions dragged on, three of the six foreign ministers involved left the talks, and prospects for agreement remained uncertain.
Claiming enough progress had been made to warrant an extension after six days of intense bartering and eager to avoid a collapse in the discussions, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his British and German counterparts huddled with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif in the Swiss town of Lausanne to continue a marathon effort to bridge still significant gaps and hammer out details of a framework accord.
The foreign ministers of China, France and Russia all departed Lausanne overnight, although the significance of their absence was not clear.
The remaining ministers and the Chinese, French and Russian officials left behind are looking to reach understandings that would form the basis for a comprehensive agreement to be reached by the end of June.
After the talks last broke in the early hours of Wednesday, Zarif said solutions to many of the problems had been found and that documents attesting to that would soon be drafted. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said before leaving that the negotiators had reached agreement in principle on all key issues, and in the coming hours it will be put on paper.
But other officials were more skeptical.
Asked how high the chances of success were, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said: “I cannot say.” And British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said Iran might still not be ready to accept what is on the table.
“I’m optimistic that we will make further progress this morning but it does mean the Iranians being willing to meet us where there are still issues to deal with,” Hammond told British reporters. “Fingers crossed and we’ll hope to get there during the course of the day.”
Although the Chinese, French and Russian ministers left their deputies in charge, Kerry postponed his planned Tuesday departure to stay in Lausanne, and an Iranian negotiator said his team would stay “as long as necessary” to clear the remaining hurdles.
Officials say their intention is to produce a joint statement outlining general political commitments to resolving concerns about Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, and their intention to begin a new phase of negotiations to get to that point. In addition, they are trying to fashion other documents that would lay out in more detail the steps they must take by June 30 to meet those goals.
The additional documents would allow the sides to make the case that the next round of talks will not simply be a continuation of negotiations that have already been twice extended since an interim agreement between Iran, the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany was concluded in November 2013. President Barack Obama and other leaders, including Iran’s, have said they are not interested in a third extension.
But if the parties agree only to a broad framework that leaves key details unresolved, Obama can expect stiff opposition at home from members of Congress who want to move forward with new, stiffer Iran sanctions. Lawmakers had agreed to hold off on such a measure through March while the parties negotiated. The White House says new sanctions would scuttle further diplomatic efforts to contain Iran’s nuclear work and possibly lead Israel to act on threats to use military force to accomplish that goal.
And despite the progress that diplomats said merited the extension of talks into Wednesday, officials said the differences notably included issues over uranium enrichment, the status of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles, limits on Iran’s nuclear research and development, and the timing and scope of sanctions relief.
The U.S. and its negotiating partners are demanding curbs on Iranian nuclear activities that could be used to make weapons, and they say any agreement must extend the time Tehran would need to produce a weapon from the present several months to at least a year. The Iranians deny such military intentions, but they are negotiating with the aim that a deal will end sanctions on their economy.
Forget all the experts and analysts. If you really want to know who’s going to win the Final Four, there’s really only one way to find out: puppies.
On Tuesday’s “Tonight Show,” host Jimmy Fallon set out four bowls of food, each dish representing one of the teams left in the March Madness men’s basketball tournament.
Then, he unleashed a bunch of puppies to see which one the “Puppy Predictors” would choose.
Check out the clip above to find out who the puppies think will win.
The Final Four gets under way on Saturday when the Kentucky Wildcats take on the Wisconsin Badgers, and the Michigan State Spartans battle the Duke Blue Devils.

Mobile devices as teaching tools are becoming a more and more common part of the American education experience in classrooms, from preschool through graduate school. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that 58% of U.S. teachers own smartphones — 10 percentage points higher than the national average for adults. Those teachers are building that tech-savviness into their lesson plans, too, by embracing bring-your-own-device policies and leading the push for an iPad for every student. In 2013, an estimated 25% of U.S. schools had BYOD policies in place and it’s reasonable to assume those numbers have risen in the past two years.
