Other new features include some additions to Explore and a handful of new camera effects. Video calling within Instagram works mostly how you’d expect it to. The … Continue reading

We’ve known for a while that Facebook has been working on bringing the internet to more remote locations, and this was achieved through the use of drones. This is a similar endeavor that other companies such as Google have taken on in the past, but in the case of Facebook it looks like their internet drone efforts have come to an end.
In an announcement on its website (via Engadget), the company has decided to stop designing and manufacturing their own aircrafts, and will also be closing down the relevant facility in the British town of Bridgwater. Facebook claims that this is due to the fact that other companies have been designing their own high-altitude machines, which means that competing with them might not necessarily be the best use of their resources.
According to Facebook, “Going forward, we’ll continue to work with partners like Airbus on HAPS connectivity generally, and on the other technologies needed to make this system work, like flight control computers and high-density batteries. On the policy front, we’ll be working on a proposal for 2019 World Radio Conference to get more spectrum for HAPS, and we’ll be actively participating in a number of aviation advisory boards and rule-making committees in the US and internationally.”
This by no means indicates that Facebook will be scrapping plans to bring internet to around the world, but rather they will no longer be the ones manufacturing their own drones to do so.

Ever since Overwatch was launched, Blizzard has been steadily introducing new heroes to the game. For those who have been anticipating a new hero launch, you might be interested to learn that Blizzard posted a teaser video on its Overwatch Twitter page that seems to indicate that a new hero could be on its way.
The video doesn’t really tell us much but from what we can see and based on the comments that we’re reading, it sounds like this new hero could a rolling type of hero that can ball up and move around the map, kind of like an armadillo. Speculation has also suggested that this could an animal-type hero that was similarly experimented on like Winston.

As it stands there are about 27 heroes to choose from from the Overwatch roster, with the latest hero coming in the form of Brigitte. That was earlier this year in February which means that enough time has passed for Blizzard to potentially introduce a new one. No word on when that might be, but given Blizzard’s past teases, we’re probably a couple of weeks away from hearing anything official, so do check back with us in the coming weeks or months for more updates.
