Earlier today, source code for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Team Fortress 2 started to circulate, alarming gamers and modders who worried that they could expose security flaws. At least one project shut down as a precaution. However, code for…

Sometimes it can be hard to find out where a post on social media could be coming from. In the recent years, we’ve seen how some foreign entities have attempted to disrupt elections in another country by spreading misinformation using fake accounts and pages to make it seem like the post originated from the country the election is taking place in.
To help combat this problem, Facebook has announced that they will start testing out a new feature for both Facebook and Instagram to help better identify where posts are coming from. This will come in the form of location labels where posts and pages that are not based in the US will have their location labeled.
What this means is that if a viral post that is being widely-shared by US users but hasn’t originated from the US will have its location labeled. This means that users will have a better idea of where the post could be originating from, and then make their own decision as to whether or not it might be a legitimate post or a post from a foreign entity trying to cause disruptions.
According to Facebook, “We want to make sure people use our services authentically and can understand who is behind the posts they’re seeing. This is particularly important when it comes to elections, so we’re taking extra steps to make Pages and accounts with large audiences more transparent.” This feature will be piloted in the US, but presumably could eventually find its way to other countries as well.

Let’s face it, unlike the Amazon Echo and Google Home speakers, Apple hasn’t had that much luck with the HomePod. Designed to be a “premium” sounding device, the price of the speaker combined with Siri’s limitations has resulted in a device that isn’t exactly flying off the shelves, but Apple wants to change that.
Speaking during a Periscope stream, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has revealed that Apple is actively working on “saving” the HomePod. This has resulted in a dedicated team that Apple has put together in a bid to help save the device and to make it more compelling for customers to purchase.
According to Gurman, one of the main issues with the HomePod is Siri. “This is not a hardware and price issue only. This is a Siri issue. So what you’re going to see is Siri getting a big upgrade on the HomePod this year. I know there is a team at Apple and the whole goal of this team is basically to save the HomePod, make the HomePod really useful.”
There have been rumors for a while now that Apple could be working on a newer and smaller HomePod that could be released this year. Presumably that was what Gurman was referring to during his stream. Take it with a grain of salt, but this could be something to look forward to this year.

Every so often, we hear about leaks of source code for games but, more often than not, those games are no longer maintained or even sold. Sometimes, however, source code for games still in the market does get into the public’s hands, such as this latest code dump for Valve’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Team Fortress 2. Unfortunately, considering these … Continue reading
According to a recent tweet by Jon Prosser, it was suggested that Apple’s Xcode environment could soon be coming to iOS devices. This means that if true, it would allow developers to code directly on iOS devices like the iPad. In a follow-up tweet, Prosser not only reasserts his confidence in his original tweet, but reveals additional details as well.
In his latest tweet, Prosser goes on to claim that not only will Xcode be coming to iOS devices, but apps such as Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro could also soon find their way onto the iPad Pro in the next year or so. Prosser notes that it is unclear in what capacity these apps will come in due to potential limitations of RAM, but he believes that it will happen.
That being said, we don’t believe it is a particularly outlandish claim. Adobe has previously brought some of its photo-editing apps onto the iPad where they have redesigned it from scratch to optimize it for Apple’s hardware. We imagine that the same could be done for Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro as well.
I am now 100% confident that FCPX, Logic Pro & Xcode are coming to iPad Pro.
I cannot confidently say to what capacity, or with what limitations due to RAM management — but it’s happening within the next year or so.
You can choose to trust me on that, or not, I suppose 🤷🏼♂️😂

Plus, given that there have been rumors that Apple could eventually make the switch to ARM-based Mac computers, it’s not a stretch to think that Apple could be preparing to make some of its productivity apps compatible with ARM chipsets as well. Of course, this should be taken with a grain of salt, but hopefully more details will emerge in the coming months.

Augmented reality, or mixed reality as some would call it, has always been touted as the future of computing more than its sibling, virtual reality. Even Apple CEO Tim Cook has been more supportive of AR efforts than VR, though it is mostly limited to iPads and iPhones so far. Mixed reality headsets are almost impossible to come by if … Continue reading
