Apex Legends Total Players Cross 10 Million In Three Days


Apex Legends is a new battle royale title from Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment. Set in the world of its popular franchise, the developer said that it was putting a “lot on the line” by launching a battle royale game out of the blue. It has seen considerable response from players as the game racked up a million players in just eight hours after launch. Merely three days after the title arrives, the total Apex Legends players have crossed 10 million.

It’s interesting to note that Fortnite, which is without a doubt one of the most popular battle royale games, took two weeks to hit ten million players after it was launched by Epic Games. Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella wrote in a blog post that not only has the game crossed ten million players after launch, it has also breached 1 million concurrent players.

“We knew it would be risky to take the franchise in this direction, to go free to play, and do a surprise launch. But we fell in love with Apex Legends and wanted, needed, other people to play it too,” he added.

Like many of the popular battle royale games, Apex Legends is also free to play. The core gameplay experience is not unlike similar titles like Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The game does require players to team up in squads of three. There are several accessibility features as well including one that allows gameplay without voice chat.

“This is just the beginning! We have so much more in store for you this year,” Zampella said, so fans of this game can rest assured that Apex Legends will continue to get better with time.

Google Chrome 73 Will Bring Official Multimedia Key Support


A feature that many Google Chrome users would have long been waiting for is going to arrive with the popular browser’s next update. Chrome 73 will be the first version of Google’s web browser that will have official support for multimedia keys that users have on laptop and desktop keyboards. The support will initially be rolled out for Chrome OS, macOS, and Windows. It will arrive for Linux at a later date which has not yet been confirmed.

The official support for multimedia keys means that users will be able to control videos and music that is playing in the browser right from the keyboard itself. It was possible to get this functionality with third-party apps but Chrome 73 will eliminate the need for them.

The initial support will be for “play,” “pause,” “previous track,” “seek forward,” and “seek backward” keys. The key presses are going to be supported at the browser level and not at the tab level which means that the buttons can be used to control media playback even if the browser is minimized in the background. The update brings the Media Session API as well which will enable developers to customize interactions for multimedia keys.

This functionality is currently available in the beta and Chrome Canary distributions of Chrome 73 and is going to be released in the stable distribution next month. This will make Chrome the first browser to have support for multimedia keys.

Nautiz X6 can take in plenty of punishment

Do you feel that modern day smartphones, despite containing a slew of bells and whistles, tend to be a little bit on the soft side? Most of the time we hear about smartphone displays cracking because of an accidental knock or drop. What if there was a rugged version of a smartphone or phablet in the market that is capable of delivering close to the mid-range to high end handset, while being able to take in a whole lot of punishment? The answer to that question comes in the form of the Nautiz X6.

The Nautiz X6 can be classified as an ultra-rugged phablet that delivers the wonders of big screen functionality with the performance level of a rugged handset. While the ordinary power user or office executive might find the Nautiz X6 to be overkill, those who are often involved in industrial and field applications would think otherwise due to its reliability in performing while being in a challenging situation. Sporting the MaxGo Android software suite, the Nautiz X6 will feature an IP67 rating with decent hardware specifications that are crammed into a lightweight, ultra-mobile design/

Underneath the hood, the Nautiz X6 will boast of an 8-core processor with the Android 8.0 Oreo operating system running. There is also 4G/LTE connectivity that will help you enjoy the fastest possible download speeds wherever you are. Selfie lovers will find the 5MP front-facing camera perform its tasks just fine, with a 13MP shooter located at the back. The display works well under sunlight, with the 6-inch capacitive multi-touch display augmented with super-hardened Gorilla Glass.

The Nautiz X6 carries IP67 ruggedness rating for waterproof, dust-tight performance, in addition to a broad operating-temperature range that makes it function in a range of industries. It has also been MIL-STD-810G tested for drops, vibrations, humidity, extreme temperatures as well as varying altitudes, with the 8,000mAh battery keeping it running longer than you would expect with regular smartphones.
