It took a few tries, but I was finally able to lift the World Cup trophy with my beloved Mexico in FIFA 18. It wasn’t an easy feat, either; I had to get past football superpower Germany in the final. But it happened, a 3-2 win! And that’s probably th…

The Japanese government announced after a strategic review today that a self-driving car service could be launched in Tokyo in time for the 2020 Olympics. The country sees this as a method of driving new investment into the technology of the future to fuel economic growth. The government will then try to commercialize this self-driving car service by 2022.
Reuters reports that the government in Japan is planning to test a self-driving car service on public roads this fiscal year and aims to launch the service in 2020 in time for the Tokyo Olympics. Commercialization beyond the Olympics is expected to be achieved by 2022 at the earliest.
The efficacy of the self-driving car system will surely be put to the test during a global event at the scale of the Olympics which will bring in millions of people from across the globe to Tokyo.
Economists believe that the commercialization of self-driving car services will help businesses cope with an aging population in the country which is resulting in a decline in the workforce. However, it remains to be seen if the country will be able to implement the service in this ambitious timeframe considering the fact that it’s behind its Chinese, European, and U.S. counterparts in implementing such innovations.

Bethesda recently confirmed that it has a new Fallout game in the pipeline which is called Fallout 76. It’s already started taking pre-orders for the title even though the game hasn’t been properly revealed and we don’t even know when it’s going to be released. It appears that the Amazon listing for the title may have briefly revealed the possible Fallout 76 release date.
Amazon had initially listed Fallout 76 release date as July 31st, 2018. The pre-order page had gone live on Amazon shortly after the brief teaser trailer was released by Bethesda. The seemingly precise release date has since been changed from July 31st, 2018 to December 31st, 2019 which is most definitely a placeholder as Bethesda is expected to release the game this year.
Bethesda hasn’t officially confirmed when it’s going to release Fallout 76 but there’s speculation online that the July 31st release date is known to Amazon which is undoubtedly one of the biggest online retailers of games so it wouldn’t be surprising if Amazon knew about the release date ahead of time.
However, there’s a possibility that the July 31st date might have been mentioned in error because history tells us that Bethesda normally doesn’t release new Fallout titles in July. They come out in October or November and that’s when many already expect Fallout 76 to be scheduled for.
It’s not saying anything about the title’s release date just yet but with E3 2018 just around the corner, it’s only a matter of time before we find out these details about the new Fallout game.

It was reported over the weekend that Microsoft had been in discussions with GitHub about a possible acquisition. Another report claimed that the deal had been clinched and that an official announcement would be made on Monday. That report has turned out to be true as Microsoft today officially confirmed that it has acquired GitHub for $7.5 billion. The deal is worth more than what many had been expecting.
GitHub is the world’s leading software development platform serving more than 28 million developers. The platform is used by developers to host entire projects, code, documentation, and to learn from each other. Microsoft says that it will work with GitHub to provide more tools to developers and to “accelerate the enterprise use of GitHub.”
Microsoft has disclosed the terms of its deal with GitHub. It’s acquiring the company for $7.5 billion in Microsoft stock. The deal is subject to closing conditions and regulatory review. Microsoft expects to close the deal by the end of this calendar year.
The software giant reiterates that after the acquisition, GitHub will continue to maintain its developer-first ethos and will operate independently so that developers in all industries can have an open platform. Developers will also be able to continue to use the programming languages, tools, and operating systems of their choice for their projects. They will still be able to deploy their code to any operating system, any cloud, and any device.
Microsoft Corporate Vice President Nat Friedman will be assuming the role of GitHub CEO while Chris Wanstrath, the current CEO of the company, will become a Microsoft technical fellow to work on strategic software initiatives.
